Renault 4+ Timeline Application
4 years. It’s a long time isn’t it? A lot can happen in 4 years and a lot can change. Whether it’s moving schools, leaving home, graduating from university, meeting your other half, or having a baby; time moves on, we change, and memories come and go. To build on this concept, Renault launched a nationwide cross channel campaign that linked this idea to their programme offering a 4 year warranty, roadside cover, servicing, and finance package. We decided to create an innovative app that added a layer of personalisation to the initial TV spot, which depicted the story of a young man’s life changing over four years. The app invites users to see how their own life has changed within this time period. By finding your most “liked” photos, the app creates a unique Timeline ‘cover’ image; your four years in four pictures. The belief is that we all leave a digital footprint that tells our own digital story. This app is a way of surfacing the most poignant moments from the last four years, helping you to explore and reflect on how your life has changed. Importantly, it was designed to coincide with the move to switch all Facebook profiles to Timeline. Renault is one of the first brands to take advantage of this switch and helps users make the most of their own cover photo. Check out the app to see how your life has changed over the last four years. -
Start Thinking Soldier
Objective: To engage with 16-24 year olds who may not have considered the Army as a career choice, by delivering a rich interactive digital experience as part of a groundbreaking integrated recruitment campaign spanning TV, radio, direct mail, print and online. Television ads drive users online, each presenting the viewer with a choice of three options in a tense situation. The user must decide what they would do in that situation before seamlessly progressing through a series of interactive challenges blending live action with CGI in the latest technology. Creative Execution: 18 online challenges bridged with specially filmed sequences, conceived of in close collaboration with the COI and the Army with a location shoot spanning Salisbury to Kenya, push different themes like Decision Making and Teamwork, and different job roles like medic or engineer. Each challenge maintains the distinct first person POV used in the TVCs and all filmed footage, which in itself required the use of cutting edge technology such as Alternativa, Away3D and Unity. To push different themes like Decision Making and Teamwork, and different job roles like medic or engineer, while delivering content that followed on seamlessly from the four TVCs that helped drive users to the site. Distribution & Results: The campaign and first Mission for Start Thinking Soldier launched 06/04/09. Subsequent Missions will launch once every four weeks. -
My Twisted Love
Background HP wanted to create some noise around the launch of their new TX1000 Pavilion Notebook. This laptop has a sharp new design incorporating features never seen before, such as a unique inlay and twistable screen that allows 360 degree viewing. Not to mention a multitude of multimedia features. Solution Here was a product from HP that was actually sexy, something that people would fall in love with the looks of as well as the functionality. We decided to play on this with a very cheeky take on those totally over the top perfume commercials that are so esoteric they’re in danger of vanishing up an orifice – take Calvin Klein’s Obsession for example. Moodily lit, shot in grainy black and white, and starring a pouting male model we witness a show of obsessive love for this sexy laptop. Once the silly short film has been seen, users are encouraged to stitch their friends up by placing a mates face where the model’s face was. They can also dress their friend up with a range of delightful accessories like a rather fetching fez or some lovely Pat Butcher earrings. Super.
