WEEKEND FT - SUPERSTITIAL CAMPAIGN
The Weekend FT challenged its agency BJK&E to create a media strategy that would ensure it was kept front of mind with it current and potential customers.
With a very small budget, BJK&E turned to the internet and devised the UK's first superstitial campaign - called 'Beautiful room'. This took the form of an animated page of advertising that loaded in the background on the user's screen and then launched on top of the webpage.
'Beautiful room' showed the typical room of an upmarket Weekend FT reader.
As the viewer panned around the page, objects symbolising the paper's editorial offering wrapped themselves in pink newsprint and text then appeared talking about the relevant section. The ad was seen by more than 700,000 users and the click-through rate to the newspaper site was an impressive 2.58 per cent.
LEVI'S - INNOVATE TO COMMUNICATE
Levi's new design, Engineered Jeans, needed an innovative media strategy that focused attention on the design's USP, the twisted side seam. Through a partnership with Yahoo!, Starcom Motive used messages on both error pages and pop-ups to communicate the brand's irreverent attitude. The result was a new online experience that not only saw error pages added to Yahoo!'s ratecard but achieved impressive click-through.
STELLA ARTOIS - THE STELLAS
Starcom Motive set out to build a relationship between Stella Artois and online film fans. Working with the agency Lateral, the team identified an area of existing film site usage that Stella could own and to which it could add value - user ratings. By aggregating the ratings from the big film sites, a new online film awards scheme was created - The Stellas.
