New Golf 6, Volkswagen’s new entry to wheelocity

Ogilvy, Cape Town wanted to promote the launch of the new Golf 6, with Park assist, in an unexpected and cost effective way. So we hired local car guards, a very common and familiar sight in South Africa, and made special bibs that were based on their generic and highly recognised parking attendant bibs. The car guards then popped up in seemingly obscure places, such as cinemas, cafes, at the beach, etc. Then leisurely took a break as the New Golf's Park Assist feature did their job for them. For the price of a movie ticket and a car guard’s daily rate, the brand got to have a presence in a cinema.

The idea of this ad is to promote Tyskie Beer among young people in a more involving way. 'Beer Mugs Stickers' were installed behind the door handles of restaurants, pubs, shops etc across Europe. And when people opened the door they could easily imagine themselves drinking beer.

CASE STUDY : FIAT 500 - The Life-alike Car

The communication goal:
Was to demonstrate that the Fiat 500 isn’t only a lifeless article, but rather a character, a real person full with life, so that the consumer can get in touch with it.

The TG:
The target audience was between 18 years and 35 years

The Idea:
To bring him to life, they brought together for the very first time in Germany four media channels – billboard, LCD ticker, text messaging and internet.

Location: Checkpoint Charlie, Berlin.
Medium: Billboard
Size: 2 posters, 20 x 30 meters each.

The Inter-Activity:
Passers-by could text a message, then read it in a minutes time on the billboard’s LCD ticker. The Fiat homepage ran a live feed to the billboard, and visitors on the website were able to publish their own text messages on the LCD at the location mentioned above.

Apart from that, the commuters in and around the location at Berlin could send a SMS message both via their cell phones and via net.

The Result:
The campaign got coverage in different newspapers as it gave the brand both the footfalls and the eyeballs, as over 1000 SMS were send, 82 test drives were booked, address data etc. were collected. Different newspapers reported on the Fiat 500 Mega-poster (term used abroad for the roadside billboards)

The lucky winner:
A man even proposed marriage to his girlfriend via LCD Mega Poster. In answer to that, Fiat started a successfully search for the couple via SMS Ticker themselves. The wedding car was a Fiat 500 sponsored by Fiat.

CASE STUDY : Adidas: The Huddle @ Zurich Metro Station

The Aim:
UEFA EURO 2008 in Austria and Switzerland ranks alongside the Olympic Games as the largest sporting event in the world in 2008, and thus adidas wanted to be the number 1 football brand, sending their “Impossible is nothing” message far beyond the borders of the two countries.

The Strategy:
Don‘t merely show pictures of famous football players. Bring the footballers closer to the fans and the fans closer to them. Let each fan feel like a fly on the wall, as the tension reaches a crescendo, just seconds before the beginning of the match.

The Execution:
They created a 17 m high, 33 m wide, 3 dimensional 11 man huddle featuring the best players of the tournament in Switzerland‘s most frequented location- The Zurich main train station.

A 14 ton place of pilgrimage that was 10 times larger than the wax figures on display at Madame Tussaud‘s in London, Hollywood or Berlin was used to create the huddle. During the European Championships, the Huddle evolved into a landmark where fans of all nations took millions of pictures and films and celebrated their passion for the game.

The Coverage from Web and Print Media: Major news titles such as BBC, Financial Times, Die Welt, Gazetta dello Sport, Le Parisien and NRC Handelsblad featured it on their front pages or online editions. It was discussed on hundreds of websites and advertising journals throughout the world, thereby honoring the Huddle, as well as user-generated short films inspired by it.


The Result:
The Swiss Railway authority reported an estimated audience of over 13 million people - over the course of three weeks. The Impossible Huddle was launched live on N24, a European news network, and was on major stations throughout the continent within hours.

And one week before the final, the press declared adidas the winning sports brand of the UEFA EURO 2008. Recognized by 30 % of the audience, as compared with 12 % for competitors, they reported an increase of 50 % in the football apparel sales, earning them an estimated 15 % added market share.

CASE STUDY : FIAT 500’s UK launch on the London eye aka ‘Millennium Wheel’

Dated: January 21, 2008

The Problem:
In the UK Fiat had struggled to capture the market share in the small size cars. The launch of the Grande Punto in 2006 started to reverse the brand’s fortunes but the media and public remained unconvinced.

The objective:
Was to launch the iconic Fiat 500, capturing the imagination of the public and media and reinforcing the launch messaging of “Everyday Masterpiece”.

The strategy:
With the brand floundering at the foot of the market share tables, the launch of the iconic Fiat 500 was seen as crucial to the future of Fiat UK. The event had to take place at a venue that could showcase the car at its best-a place that shared the car’s iconic design and engineering excellence. Most importantly, it had to be held somewhere that would attract the media and be seen by everyone.

The venue:
In this most outrageous of publicity stunts, Fiat UK launched its all-new 500 subcompact car in a capsule on the London Eye aka ‘Millennium Wheel’. Measuring at just 3,546mm in length with a wheelbase of 2,300mm, the 1,414mm track provided a squat look which also gave a hint about its nimble handling.

The Result:
On launch night, a spectacular party was thrown, where in 500 VIPs, 100 members of the media and 1,500 competition winners were invited to witness the unveiling that took place at 500 hours into 2008. In addition, they screened the event live into 170 Fiat dealerships nationwide. Virgin Radio hosted the evening with ‘Mika and The Feeling’ providing the entertainment. At 8pm the car was revealed in a capsule at the top of the ‘London Eye’ and remained in there for two weeks. The results of the launch were truly spectacular as the event achieved £580,493 worth of media exposure and 8,500 orders taken within one month of launch.

The Comments from the Officials in UK:
FIAT UK Marketing Director, Elena Bernardelli, said,"It will be a great event, and we at FIAT are committed to making the country smile for the night." London Eye Head of Sales and Marketing, Helen Bull, said, "After celebrating 2008 with a phenomenal firework display, what better way to continue the party than with a fantastic event only 500 hours into the New Year, with 2008's Car of the Year."

About the car :
The Fiat 500 is a remake of an original model that was produced between 1957 and 1975 and boasts a cute yet purposeful bubble-shaped body with the wheel-at-each-corner stance giving the car some much added character.

CASE STUDY : IKEA- The world’s biggest rack

To promote the new IKEA catalogue, they thought of a new attention-grabbing way. They didn`t tell people about the new products, they gave them a live-impression.

It’s size: 480 square meters. The installation was realized for one month and was seen by more than 70,000 passengers daily. Many newspapers reported on the project. Traffic at the two IKEA stores in Vienna increased by 5.7% compared to the same period one year before.

INDIAN CASE STUDY : Grow up with Complan

While adults often try to look and feel younger, kids try to look bigger than they actually are. Shadows fascinate kids. In the background of this knowledge, Leo Burnett Mumbai carried out a rather simple activity in the vicinity of schools, parks and shopping malls. A mall was covered with a backdrop that had a height measuring scale and Complan branding. In front of this backdrop, at a distance of approx. 7 feet, a source of light was placed on the ground level. Now when kids came to check their height they could also see their shadow being formed on the Complan backdrop. Due to ground level light, as the kid would move towards the source of the light, the shadow on the backdrop keeps growing bigger and bigger. This created excitement amongst kids and parents, and re-emphasized the core brand message "Complan: Extra growing power" The spot became an attraction for every kid in the locality. Charmed by the shadow formation, kids wouls come (accompanied by their parents) and spend hours playing in front of the Complan backdrop, and scoring over each other on the height scale.
