Stadt Apotheke, Kreuzlingen: Skin Cancer Guerilla

Lying in the sun around the middle of the day is dangerous. Most people are aware of the fact but still underestimate the risk. In order to make people aware of the dangers of skin cancer, they carried out an unusual operation. On the hottest day in July, they went into Zurich’s biggest park and hung tags with the words “Sun kills” around the toes of anyone they found sleeping in the sun, turning the place into the world’s largest morgue. The campaign generated a lot of feedback and several newspapers ran stories about it.

Toyota Yaris Hatchback: Blanket

Challenge: Shockingly introduce the new Toyota Yaris in the male and female youth segment, Hatchback car users.

Idea: Transforming the 3 prinicipal competing models (VW Gol Peugeot 306 and Renault Clio) in the new Toyota Yaris, inviting owners to test drive and challenging them to “change” their cars “old” with the new Yaris.

Strategy: Blankets were used vinyl printed with the design of the new Toyota Yaris, to cover all competing models that were parked in the places most frequented by the target: college parking lots, malls, pubs and nightclubs. When the owner approached the car covered puzzled, appeared a couple of promoters who removed the blanket and handed him a gift (top sun). They had previously placed the invitation to test drive the pilot’s side mirror.

Results: The results showed a 21% of a total of 1.630 contacts for the test drive. 80% of sales to date have been specified in the youth segment.

IKEA Austria: The first IKEA-cinema-catalogue

[See post to watch Flash video]

We used existing great movies with great actors in which IKEA products are seen accidentally. With a smart and clever trick we directed the people’s attention to the IKEA products. Guerilla promotion teams equipped with powerful portable projectors brought names and prices of IKEA products during the movie on the screen – next to Brad Pitt, George Clooney and other famous actors. This surprising execution fits perfectly to the IKEA principle: surprise the many people with fresh ideas for everybody’s everyday life. After the show we consequently distributed IKEA catalogues in front of the cinema.

Sydney Theatre Company: Tot Mom

In Tot Mom, Sydney Theatre Company’s latest production, Steven Soderbergh has created a compelling look into how a crime can come to grip an entire nation through intense media and public attention. We worked with Sydney Theatre Company to create an outdoor, press and online campaign for the production that turns the media and public attention of the case into the advertising itself. The website acts as a platform through which users can discover and investigate the Caylee Anthony case through the mass of media it has generated. The site also offers the public the opportunity to leave their own comments. The comments left on the site are then used in the posters and press advertising, creating a recurring cycle of opinion, interpretation, and discovery. http://www.sydneytheatre.com.au/2009/tot-mom/talkback/
