HTC: Here’s to change

Online
HTC

Villaverde Boetticher FC is a modest Spanish football team that plays in an amateur regional division with one of the lowest budgets in its category. Most importantly, Villaverde is known for playing a fundamental role in the integration of kids in a conflictive neighbourhood through its football academy. Villaverde has two dreams and they’re both extremely complicated: promoting to Third Division (and going professional) and playing a UEFA Champions League match. HTC, official UEFA Champions League Smartphone, decided to help make both dreams come true. Without the players knowing, HTC put artificial turf on their old soil pitch, renewed the club’s installations and brought the official UEFA Champions League trophy to preside the new pitch’s inaugural match. Engaging the fans’ dreams about dreaming big and someday being able to play the UEFA Champions League. HTC. Here’s To Change.

Toyota Norway Hybrid: Try my Hybrid

Integrated
Toyota

‘Try my Hybrid’ is a web & mobile service featuring real Toyota Hybrid owners – who for no money – let strangers, neighbours and friends (and friends of friends through Facebook) test drive their Hybrid. Toyota Hybrid owners are Norway’s most satisfied car owners. But recruiting more people to buy Hybrids, has always been a challenge. There’s no denying that driving a hybrid has a positive impact on air quality in populated cities. So we decided, rather than having car salesmen persuading new buyers. We let our proud Hybrid owners lend us a hand.

Fazer Tutti Frutti: Tutti Frutopia

Promo, Integrated, Online
Fazer

Fazer Tutti Frutti, one of the biggest candy brands of the Nordic Countries, invited us to create the next summer promotion and sell 1 million candy bags. We borrowed and lease a real tropical deserted island off the coast of Mauritius, named it Tutti Frutopia and divided in pieces and shared over 1 million Tutti Frutti candy bags and started a web based competition to choose the next king to win a trip to the island. With a unique code in every bags all the buyers earn a piece of Tutti Frutopia land, with ownership certificate and actual GEO-coordinates (mapped to a pin on Google Maps) and become a citizen of the Island. Tutti Frutopia quickly gained inhabitants from Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Denmark and Norway where the campaign was launched, but still needed a ruler. Participating for all 14 weeks, all the landowners and citizens were tested and competed to become the Ruler of the Island playing the games on the website facing geography and memory challenges, stress and pressure tests, creative obstacles as designing the new flag and deciding on next year’s Tutti Frutti bag flavors. After 3 months the top scores won a trip to the real island in Mauritius for the coronation of the King with all the honors.
