Mates turned media owner when it created the website Ishaggedhere.com in a bid to put its brand back into the heads of 16- to 19-year-old London males. The website contained a game, stories sent in by visitors, CCTV footage of people "in action" and a "Shags Reunited" section. Ambient media including "I shagged here" street and bar washroom teaser stickers ran before flyposters revealed the website address. Data from retailers suggests a 2O to 25 per cent uplift in sales.
