President’s Message<br />

<strong>2008</strong> has been a BIG year for CAPMA as we fine tuned our vision and mission and broadened the definition of CAPMA from promotion to brand activation to better reflect the work that CAPMA<br />

member agencies are involved in and the evolution of the promotion industry. To compliment that, September is a BIG month as we celebrate the best of the best in our industry and <strong>2008</strong> was<br />

indeed another BIG year! The <strong>PROMO</strong>! <strong>Awards</strong> gala evening honoured this year’s winners and the following pages will provide you with the Gold, Silver, Bronze and Best of Show brand activation<br />

submissions for <strong>2008</strong>. Great work!<br />

It is an exciting time for CAPMA agencies and the brand activation industry as we continue to build strategic, creative and measurable programs on behalf of our clients and their brands. The best<br />

in class programs always rise to the top in large part due to simple yet clever ideas that resonate with consumers and result in outstanding brand performance.<br />

Having said that, there is still much to accomplish. We need to continue to build better, more impactful programs with the right mix of activation elements targeting consumers when and how they<br />

wish to be targeted. It’s a time of BIG changes in our industry and we are poised to continue to capitalize on the potential in front of us.<br />

Congratulations to all of the <strong>2008</strong> Gold, Silver, Bronze and Best of Show winners. Let’s make 2009 an even BIGGER year in brand activation!<br />

Message froM the Judging Co-Chairs<br />

It was an honour to manage the judging process for the <strong>2008</strong> <strong>PROMO</strong>! <strong>Awards</strong>. The quality of the submissions was once again outstanding. All contributors should be proud of the work that was put forward. With 149 entries to<br />

this year’s awards the process was very competitive.<br />

The judging process is managed in two phases. Round One was managed online throughout the month of May. In this phase, the judge reviewed and scored all of the entries from a specific category against four criteria: concept,<br />

originality, execution and results. Based on the scores from Round One, the strongest entries were forwarded into Round Two of Judging. In Round Two, a second group of senior marketing and agency professionals judged the<br />

entries to determine the Gold, Silver and Bronze <strong>Awards</strong> for each of the sixteen categories. On 25th, the senior judges gathered to discuss the Best of Show that were awarded a Gold and achieved a specified scoring range. From<br />

this live discussion a Best of Show determination was made.<br />

Thank you to all the <strong>2008</strong> judges for their time and expertise and congratulations to all the winners.<br />

Best Multi-Discipline caMpaign<br />

ConsuMers CheWs<br />

a neW guM<br />

gold<br />

How to introduce a new gum into an intensely competitive category? That was the<br />

question Mentos faced when it launched its new Mentos Gum. Getting attention for a<br />

new gum from established Excel, Dentyne and Trident customers wouldn’t be easy. So<br />

the launch had to be original and differentiate the new gum from the competition and<br />

their already well-established mint. And that’s exactly what Mentos did.<br />

Focusing on the gum’s round shape, Mentos visually engaged consumers with the<br />

“Making Art Pop” campaign, which used the Mentos Gum packaging as its inspiration.<br />

A myriad of Mentos blister packs were placed side by side on a canvas. Pieces of gum<br />

were systematically removed from areas of the canvas to reveal an overall image, a<br />

technique inpired by the paint technique Pointillism. Original and free-spirited, the<br />

innovative idea clearly represented the brand attributes of Mentos Gum.<br />

The multi-discipline campaign had a two-tiered approach. The first used traditional<br />

media channels, like Zoom mini board-vendors, in-store displays, a website, web<br />

placements, and a new 3 x 10 second format TV spot. The second approach used<br />

“in-your-face” stunts to bring the new gum to life. Samples were given out while<br />

three talented artists created original works of art using Mentos Gum in Montreal,<br />

Toronto and Vancouver.<br />

The results showed the campaign made more than just art. Each component scored<br />

well above industry norms, sales were higher than original objectives and total reach<br />

stood at 64%, an impressive accomplishment. Furthermore, the program has already<br />

won more than ten awards, such as the CMAs (Gold), Media Innovation <strong>Awards</strong><br />

(Best of Show) and three Golds and Best of Show at the Marketing <strong>Awards</strong>.<br />

Best sponsorship or tie-in caMpaign<br />

buiCk goes Pro<br />

With a tiger<br />

gold<br />

When Tiger Woods, one of the world’s most recognized athletes, was scheduled to<br />

come to Montreal’s ExpoGolf, the most important golf exhibit in the province, Buick<br />

knew it had to swing into action. And as the main sponsor of the event, Buick had<br />

a great opportunity to both maximize their partnership with Woods, Buick’s official<br />

spokesperson, and create awareness for their new Enclave.<br />

Buick created a unique golf experience called the “Buick Zone” at the event, where<br />

a replica of the famous St. Andrews sand trap challenged spectators. This exciting<br />

experiential marketing program with a contest overlay not only got golfers excited<br />

about the new Enclave but also tested their swings in the sand trap to win one.<br />

Every golfer had two attempts and if they successfully put one of their shots in a<br />

circle on the green, they instantly won a small Buick-branded prize (caps, balls, polo<br />

shirts, golf bags, etc.). Once every hour, a participant was randomly selected and given<br />

an opportunity to attempt to sink the shot. If successful, he or she would win one of 24<br />

brand new Buick Enclaves. A Buick/Nike golf bag, just like Tiger Woods’ official bag,<br />

was awarded to the finalist who made it closest to the pin. Secondary prizes included<br />

VIP packages for four to go see Tiger Woods at the Presidents Cup.<br />

To complete their visibility at the event, Buick displayed four vehicles (the Enclave,<br />

Terraza, Allure and Lucerne) near the sand trap and included test drive offers in each<br />

visitor’s bag. Tiger Woods’ image was used in many of supporting communications.<br />

In the end, Buick saw some green. During the event the GM staff onsite interacted<br />

with hundreds of potential buyers whose perceptions of the Buick models on display<br />

were very positive. All in all, more than 1,800 leads were generated, 99 test drives<br />

were taken and nine cars were sold directly through the sponsorship.<br />

serve uP ConsuMer loyalty<br />

gold<br />

While Quaker and Tropicana brands are each dominant market leaders, in 2007 they<br />

were faced with a shrinking base due to a competitive and fragmented marketplace.<br />

They needed to rebuild brand loyalty by directly communicating with their consumers.<br />

But how to effectively reach them? QTG’s solution: a lucrative partnership with<br />

Aeroplan, the leading rewards program in Canada, whose database includes over five<br />

million active, high-spending members.<br />

The strategy behind this multi-discipline program was to target specific consumers<br />

through Aeroplan’s database with customized online messaging based on consumers’<br />

historical behavior. 10 Bonus Offers were given throughout 2007, offering consumers<br />

the chance to earn Bonus Miles on specially marked products and/or bundled<br />

deposits (i.e. 100 Bonus Miles with a Quaker AND a Tropicana PIN). Members logged<br />

onto www.breakfastcentral.ca and deposited their unique product PINS. And for<br />

the first time, Aeroplan allowed one of its partners, QTG, direct access to its online<br />

database so members could update their Aeroplan Miles instantly—a bonus in itself<br />

for consumers!<br />

Results were delicious. Program redemption rate was twice what was expected, over<br />

2,360,000 PINs were redeemed, over 47,000,000 Aeroplan Miles were distributed and<br />

Tropicana alone saw a sales increase of +13%. Furthermore, the program increased<br />

brand loyalty and significantly changed the way consumers shopped.<br />

Most innovative iDea or concept<br />

sunsilk has a great hair day<br />

gold<br />

The Sunsilk launch premise originated from a single insight: girls have a strong<br />

emotional reaction to bad hair moments. The activation plan began by calling these<br />

reactions “Wig Outs,” planting the phrase into popular culture, then had Sunsilk<br />

position itself as the hair care brand that stops ‘Wig Outs’. How was this done? The<br />

agency produced a 6-minute video called “Bride Has Massive Hair Wig Out” and<br />

uploaded it to YouTube. And the rest was history.<br />

The video showed a bride having a huge ‘Wig Out’ over her hair on the eve of her<br />

wedding and giving herself a haircut. Raw and totally captivating, the video seemed<br />

legitimate. While the truth about the video was revealed afterwards, during the initial<br />

launch, the public thought the video was real.<br />

After the video’s release on YouTube, Sunsilk began using the line “Wigging Out?<br />

Get Hairapy.” It appeared in TV, sampling team scripts, in-store signage and on-pack<br />

IRCs. A website was built around the “Wig Out” idea and the concept carried over into<br />

a unique partnership with Much Music, which included a 4-week contest and a full<br />

“Wig Out Weekend” featuring wig-out themed programming and invited viewers to<br />

share their own “wig outs.”<br />

The results exceeded any Sunsilk had ever imagined. “Bride Has Massive Hair<br />

Wig Out” was viewed over three million times in less than two weeks, garnered over<br />

100,000,000 impressions and international media exposure. Sunsilk’s household<br />

penetration doubled, and its share grew 105% during 2007, establishing it as one of<br />

the top-10 brands in liquid hair care in Canada.<br />

gold<br />

Dove’s Campaign for Real Beauty continues to spotlight real women and real<br />

beauty. In 2006, Dove Hair was faced with decreasing awareness of its hair care<br />

line-up and needed to prove its expertise in the category, Dove knew it had to build its<br />

hair care expert status while staying true to the Real Beauty ideology.<br />

The solution: Dove’s first, real hair magazine called ‘Shine’. The Shine<br />

multi-disciplinary program aimed to involve women of all walks of life all across<br />

Canada; the dovehair.ca website became a crucial element of the campaign.<br />

Four distinct phases got women not only interested in the new Shine magazine<br />

but also gave them the chance at dovehair.ca to be one of eight real inspiring women<br />

featured in its premiere issue. And the online experience was more than just a photo<br />

submission for contest entry—women discussed their own hairstyle and how it<br />

expressed their unique personality, created a magazine layout, posted their pages in a<br />

gallery and browsed other women’s entries, and received personalized Hair Diagnosis<br />

to find out which Dove Hair product was right for them. Exciting and experiential, the<br />

Shine website created high anticipation levels long before the magazine was even<br />

launched.<br />

The results truly shined. Dove received over 7,100 entries to be part of Shine<br />

magazine. Over 76,000 unique visitors resulted in an impressive 10% conversion rate<br />

(5x the industry average). Dove achieved its highest ever share on Dove Hair during<br />

both the invitation and the magazine periods equalling 7.1 market share. Moreover,<br />

the Shine website won the official Adobe Site of the Day Award on April 17, 2007.<br />

The Dove Real Beauty platform has proved impressive on many levels. The campaign<br />

has changed social perceptions of “real” beauty. It has made a social statement that<br />

real beauty is within every woman, not just models in magazines. It has reached out to<br />

young women through the Dove Self-Esteem Fund to encourage healthy self-attitudes.<br />

But moreover, the Dove Master Brand program—now in its seventh year—has seen<br />

an unbelievable 607% growth from year one, an accomplishment rarely reached by<br />

any campaign.<br />

While Dove’s 2007 trade program continued to catapult the brand to higher levels<br />

of success, the brand’s long-term goal remained the same: develop a meaningful<br />

consumer experience in a promotion that would drive both volume and increase<br />

awareness, this year for the Dove Self-Esteem Fund (DSEF).<br />

The program had two waves. Both engaged consumers to cross-purchase<br />

multiple Dove products, rewarded participants with a high-value offer (a free pocket<br />

digital camera in Wave 1 and a free Dove Self-Esteem jacket in Wave 2), and made<br />

consumers feel good about their purchase, which supported the DSEF. Wave 1<br />

challenged consumers to go out with the young girl in their life and use the camera to<br />

take pictures of real beauty. They could submit their photographs online to showcase<br />

real beauty for a chance to have their photos published as part of Wave 2. In Wave 2,<br />

consumers received their Dove Self-Esteem Jacket along with a video of consumersubmitted<br />

photographs.<br />

Almost every single category of Dove product that participated in the program<br />

posted positive share gains, ranging from 0.7% to 4.1%. Furthermore, over the past<br />

four years, Dove has decreased the absolute number of single product users to<br />

multiple product users by over 10 points. And then there’s the 607% growth from<br />

year one… incredible!<br />

Mentos’s bubble<br />

gold<br />

Mentos created high awareness and talk value for the launch of its new gum in<br />

a category with traditionally low involvement. It also achieved this success while<br />

rivalling its competition’s huge communications budgets, usually three times greater<br />

on average than that of Mentos. So how did the launch stand out? By creating a<br />

unique campaign that raised interest and demand for the new product.<br />

Spotlighting a product’s packaging was not an original idea. However,<br />

Mentos’s premise was: Make art with it. “Making Art Pop” was so interesting and<br />

eye-catching that it created huge buzz and subsequent news factor. Mentos held<br />

three simultaneous publicity stunts, featuring local artists creating amazing, large<br />

scale pieces of art out of real Mentos Gum blister packs in high-traffic areas. Samples<br />

were given out while the stunts took place. All communication elements (i.e., in-store<br />

displays, Zoom miniboard-vendors, TV spots, and web placements) drove consumers<br />

to the makeartpop.ca micro-site to create their own works of art by “popping” virtual<br />

pieces of gum. Consumers could then share their art and vote for their favourite.<br />

The viral component and top-rated works of “pop” art were then incorporated into<br />

user-generated online ads.<br />

Total aided awareness of Mentos Gum among those who saw at least one<br />

component of the campaign was double the anticipated percentage (60% vs. 32%)<br />

and proved to be even greater among Mentos’s target group, those aged 18 to 34<br />

(59% vs. 29%). Furthermore, sampling through Zoom mini boards reached 225,000<br />

young adults and more than 35,000 samples were also distributed by the Mentos<br />

Gum promo team during the three publicity stunt events. Now that’s success you can<br />

sink your teeth into.<br />

Qtg and aeroPlan PartnershiP<br />

gold<br />

In 2007 Pepsi-QTG was faced with a challenge. How to generate sales of key<br />

breakfast products during a time of rising commodity costs and subsequent price<br />

increases? Rather than deep discount to achieve sales targets, the brand decided to<br />

create a breakthrough, ownable and scaleable promotion unique in the CPG industry.<br />

And the Quaker Tropicana Aeroplan Loyalty Program was born.<br />

The proposition was simple: secure its market dominance by providing added<br />

value over the competition. Consumers purchased a specially marked package with<br />

a unique PIN, logged onto breakfastcentral.ca and deposited the PIN to instantly<br />

earn Aeroplan Miles. The choice to partner with Aeroplan was also simple: Aeroplan<br />

is the leading rewards program in Canada and a global leader in loyalty marketing.<br />

Moreover, Aeroplan members spend 25% more on groceries and 40% more on<br />

household items. Access to these active members proved crucial to the program’s<br />

unprecedented success.<br />

The multi-discipline program included 100MM media impressions throughout 2007,<br />

including 16MM impressions at launch, three full page FSIs, a PMI drop with full-page<br />

ad and Quaker Life Cereal sample, breakfastcentral.ca messaging, Breakfast Central<br />

database email blast, and customized, targeted Aeroplan member communications.<br />

And because Aeroplan allowed QTG to connect “live” to the back-end of their member<br />

database, for the first time customers could immediately deposit their Aeroplan miles<br />

into their accounts.<br />

Not only did the promotion change the way consumers collect their reward miles<br />

but also exceeded all of QTG’s sales goals. QTG successfully reduced Tropicana sales<br />

declines (158,000 Sales Cases) in spite of a 12.5% price increase, and expanded<br />

Tropicana consumption with Tropicana Pure Premium users (44,000 Sales Cases). And<br />

the program saw an incredible redemption rate at twice what was expected, with over<br />

2,360,000 PINs redeemed and over 47,000,000 Miles distributed.<br />

PharMaPrix on the road<br />

to beautiful enrollMent<br />

gold<br />

Pharmaprix (Shoppers Drug Mart in Quebec) leveraged a consumer truth when it<br />

began thinking about how to meet its 2007 objectives of generating new enrollments<br />

in Quebec for its Optimum card: Quebecers are less likely to invest in loyalty programs<br />

where the payout is delayed. So it was important to educate Quebec consumers how<br />

to benefit from their points more quickly. But how?<br />

Another consumer insight offered the answer: Quebecers are concerned about<br />

their looks and feel it is important to be up to date on new fashion styles, cosmetics,<br />

skin creams and beauty products. This insight helped them develop a solution. The<br />

“Beauty-mobile.” This promotional vehicle was a window display housing a makeover<br />

studio inside. The Beauty-mobile visited 20 different Pharmaprix locations in and<br />

around Montreal, along with a team of four girls. This grassroots teams introduced the<br />

Optimum card, discussed its benefits and encouraged clients to register on the spot.<br />

During this promotion, Pharmaprix offered a contest to motivate consumers to<br />

join the Optimum program. The grand prize was a complete make-over valued at<br />

$5,000. Eye-catching and hugely successful, this event marketing campaign was<br />

communicated prior to the grassroots events with in-store POP, a direct mail piece to<br />

500,000 households and two different 30-second radio spots.<br />

The results were truly a thing of beauty. The campaign surpassed its expected<br />

objectives with an average of 1,000 new Optimum registrations per day during<br />

the grassroots activities (in comparison to daily registration levels, which are<br />

normally at 50–200). The total number of registrations finally reached over 15,000,<br />

resulting in the program surpassing its objective for the whole year and reaching the<br />

national average.<br />

neWad ProMotion<br />

delivers results<br />

gold<br />

Competition in the indoor advertising industry is intense, with competitors like<br />

Zoom Media and Fashion Frame. The event marketing category proves competitive,<br />

too. Therefore, when NEWAD decided to bring its brand positioning to life—We deliver<br />

the highest concentration of young and affluent Canadian consumers—it knew it<br />

needed to differentiate itself from the competition. However, it also knew that this<br />

brand positioning already set it apart.<br />

It was this distinction, as well as the desire to create a distinctive advertising<br />

campaign and signature, that prompted NEWAD’s successful “We deliver young<br />

people” slogan. Creative and fun, this slogan offered a memorable way to bring the<br />

positioning to life for agencies and advertising/marketing professionals at local events<br />

they wouldn’t soon forget.<br />

Their event marketing promotion took Michael Reha, NEWAD’s President, across<br />

the country to visit every city with a NEWAD office. At each stop Michael and the<br />

local NEWAD team organized a cocktail party/presentation, reflecting the company’s<br />

youthful, fresh attitude and played on the “delivery” theme. DJs and VJs mixed lounge<br />

music, waitresses and barmen wore NEWAD delivery uniforms, local band, Creature,<br />

played while guests danced, and items like paper popcorn bags and water were<br />

branded with the new “We deliver young people” slogan. Reha presented an overview<br />

of the company’s growth over the past 13 years and unveiled its newest service<br />

developments.<br />

Results showed NEWAD delivered more than just young people. On average<br />

10 meetings per market were set up with new or existing clients. And in Toronto<br />

alone, the event allowed the signature of a major contract (over 100 000$) with a<br />

national advertiser.<br />

ConsuMers take a shine<br />

to arMor all<br />

gold<br />

While Wal-Mart does have an automotive section (at the back of the store), the<br />

primary automotive shopper is male, while the primary Wal-Mart shopper is female.<br />

Consequently, the car care category has limited exposure to consumers since most<br />

Wal-Mart shoppers do not visit the automotive section.<br />

Armor All’s “Go Ahead and Stare” promotion strived to bring its total car care<br />

products out from the back of Wal-Mart stores’ automotive department and into high<br />

traffic areas and the hands of weekend shoppers. And since Wal-Mart encourages<br />

suppliers to provide “Retailtainment”, innovative and interactive concepts to capture<br />

consumer attention and enhance their shopping experience, Armor All’s promotion<br />

did just that.<br />

The heart of the promotion was six mobile demo units with product underneath<br />

and a replica 1956 Ferrari Roadster on top—truly something to stare at. The car was<br />

customized with a real glass windshield, rubber tires, leather seats, chrome, and a<br />

metal body with an automotive grade paint to allow a demonstrator to use all of Armor<br />

All’s applications. Armor All also offered a ‘Buy 3 Get a $10 rebate’ coupon incentive.<br />

All 283 Wal-Mart stores received and merchandised the half pallet display. Of the<br />

surveyed store managers, 94% felt confident that this program will drive a positive<br />

long term sales impact for Armor All at Wal-Mart. Plus, Armor All and Wal-Mart have<br />

decided to repeat and expand this program in <strong>2008</strong> and are investigating running this<br />

program in the U.S. market.<br />

neW nokia training<br />

rings true With rePs<br />

gold<br />

Forget boring PowerPoint presentations and motivational be-more-sell-more<br />

salesforce training. Nokia’s new ‘Subject Matter Expert’ (SME) product training<br />

program was exciting and hands-on—anything but boring—increasing salesforce<br />

participation and retention.<br />

Understanding that better trained sales teams means better sales, Nokia examined<br />

its old training methods and decided to overhaul its training structure to empower its<br />

sales team with information and incentives. Their first project: the “Imagine Nokia”<br />

launch of the Nokia 6682 through AT&T/Cingular in the U.S.<br />

From the initial direct mail invitation to the best and most enthusiastic sales<br />

representatives, to the hands-on training, to the sales incentive program—including<br />

a grand prize trip to Las Vegas—the SME training program set itself apart from<br />

other cell companies’ training. Attendees received uniquely branded training material<br />

(customized kits, uniquely designed training manuals, event surveys) and quality<br />

training. Sales reps then participated in the ‘Ambassador Program,’ where they<br />

trained other sales representatives in their respective markets. Their subsequent sales<br />

progress was charted online on the Nokia Imagine microsite, where the salesforce<br />

could see where they stood nationwide in the running for the top prizes. This was the<br />

first time Nokia training had taken on a product launch approach and incorporated<br />

online components and an ‘Ambassador Program’.<br />

As a result of this groundbreaking campaign, Nokia was able to accurately track<br />

trainee progress, gain valuable information about AT&T/Cingular sales representatives,<br />

measure familiarity with the new device and keep the sales representatives highly<br />

motivated about future Nokia product launches.<br />

Reactions to the program were excellent. 98% felt that ‘Imagine Nokia’ exceeded<br />

their expectation, while 98% felt better prepared to sell the Nokia 6682, prompting one<br />

U.S. Sales Representative to say it was, “The best training available!” Consequently,<br />

sales of the Nokia 6682 exceeded expectations by 11% in the first two months.<br />

gold<br />

Consumers are exposed to new and established brands on a daily basis. Chewing<br />

gum is no exception; the gum category is an aggressive, competitive market made up<br />

of major players with huge advertising budgets. So how does a new gum build brand<br />

equity and awareness within such heated competition?<br />

Mentos decided to develop a unique selling language (USL) featuring its round<br />

shape. It developed the “Making Art Pop” campaign using Mentos Gum packaging<br />

as part of the creative solution. Unique, fun and engaging, this visual representation<br />

distinctly depicted the brand attributes of Mentos Gum: original, free-spirited, with a<br />

refreshing shape and taste.<br />

Media included superboards alongside highways, murals in subway stations,<br />

decked out subway shelters that showcased real packs of gum art or were wrapped<br />

with giant Mentos Gum sleeves. Eight Skytrain cars were wrapped, Zoom miniboardvendors<br />

in bars, restaurants and fitness clubs, plus TV and web placements provided<br />

additional exposure. Non-traditional media included innovative and in-your-face stunts<br />

featuring three artists creating an original work of art “live” using Mentos gums over<br />

three days in high traffic areas of Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver.<br />

The promotion not only differentiated the new Mentos Gum product from their<br />

already well established Mentos mints but also reached above industry norms.<br />

Consequently, 33% of those surveyed who’d had heard of Mentos Gum had tried it<br />

during the campaign.<br />

gold<br />

Since its inception, the Dove Self-Esteem Fund (the DSEF) has been staying<br />

true to its goals, developing tools and resources to help Canadian women and girls<br />

build stronger self-esteem, and supporting organizations in Canada that foster<br />

positive self-image. In 2007, Dove proved that they could both drive sales volume<br />

and raise awareness of their philanthropic initiative by creating a deeply meaningful<br />

consumer experience.<br />

The campaign’s first wave encouraged consumers to purchase three Dove products<br />

and mail in to receive a free digital camera. Consumers were challenged to take the<br />

camera and the girl in their life and capture pictures of real beauty. They could then<br />

submit their photographs online for a chance to have them published as part of Wave 2.<br />

In the second wave, consumers again purchased three Dove products and mailed in<br />

to receive a free Dove Self-Esteem Jacket along with an inspirational DVD. The video,<br />

Real Beauty Through Your Eyes, was a compilation of consumer-submitted photos<br />

from Wave 1 set to a moving song by acclaimed Canadian musician Melanie Doane.<br />

The goal was to inspire women to engage girls as mentors with Dove Self-Esteem<br />

Fund activities online.<br />

During the program, Dove also hosted Self-Esteem Demos at 50 Wal-Mart stores,<br />

where 4,457 consumers joined the Campaign for Real Beauty by signing pledge<br />

posters. Plus, for the first time ever, Dove conducted a Self-Esteem Workshop for<br />

over 100 Wal-Mart home office employees and their daughters, hosted by a<br />

self-esteem expert.<br />

Overall, the 2007 promotion touched the lives of more than 100,000 women<br />

and girls across Canada and, as a result of sales, Dove donated $50,000 to NEDIC<br />

(National Eating Disorders Information Centre).<br />

Woods, Buick’s spokesperson, would be visiting Montreal—Buick decided to take<br />

advantage of his presence and created an incredible event at ExpoGolf to showcase<br />

their new Enclave.<br />

Exciting and interactive, the Buick Zone featured a replica of the famous<br />

St. Andrews sand trap and invited golfers to test their skills for prizes. Even though<br />

many golfers had seen these unique bunkers on television, very few had ever<br />

swung a club in one. Prizes for getting on the green and closest to the hole included<br />

Buick-branded caps, balls, polo shirts and golf bags, a Buick/Nike golf bag (just like<br />

Tiger Woods’ official bag), VIP packages for four to go see Tiger Woods at the Presidents<br />

Cup, and, for the lucky golfer who sunk the shot: a brand new Buick Enclave.<br />

Even though no one won an Enclave, reviews for the Buick Zone were high. The<br />

sand trap provided superior on-site presence; people were lined up all day to try it<br />

out and over 1,000 golfers attempted the shot. Furthermore, the sand trap was so<br />

successful, Buick decided to recreate it for ExpoGolf <strong>2008</strong>.<br />

Start with a new shampoo brand, add a big risk, a small budget, and a $3,000 viral<br />

YouTube video called “Bride Has Massive Hair Wig Out”, where a bride supposedly<br />

cuts off her hair, and what do you have? An unbelievably successful product launch<br />

that garnered world wide attention on the Web, broadcast television and print.<br />

Competition in the hair care category is high. So when Sunsilk launched its<br />

shampoo line, they knew it needed to make a big impact to get noticed. Their insight:<br />

do it through viral and social media, not television. Simple yet effective, Sunsilk’s idea<br />

was to tap into women’s often severe emotional reactions to bad hair and establish<br />

the word ‘Wig Out’ as the expression for this reaction. Once successful, Sunsilk could<br />

set the stage for their larger activation plan to set up the new brand as the one that<br />

best stops ‘Wig Outs.’<br />

“Bride Has Massive Hair Wig Out” was launched on YouTube and emailed to 38<br />

key opinion formers. Within a day the video was appearing on blogs and people were<br />

flocking to YouTube to watch it. When Ryan Seacrest mentioned it on his nationally<br />

televised American radio show, the video crossed from viral to mainstream media<br />

overnight. “Bride Has Massive Hair Wig Out” quickly became one of the top 100<br />

watched videos in YouTube history, the #1 most discussed, #1 top favourite and<br />

#1 recently featured.<br />

That $3,000 video was created in Canada, achieved $100,000,000 + of media<br />

impressions and was featured around the world in newspapers, blogs, talk shows and<br />

magazines. Among the 300+ shampoo brands in the hair care category, Sunsilk’s new<br />

line definitely got noticed.<br />

Some campaigns rate their success on an impressive ROI. Some campaigns are<br />

successful because they become a part of our collective consciousness. Only a select<br />

few campaigns can claim these successes while also revolutionizing the way we think<br />

about advertising. The Sunsilk “Wig Out” campaign is one of those select few. It had<br />

an activation plan that unfolded unlike any the Canadian marketplace has ever seen.<br />

Sunsilk’s viral video “Bride Has Massive Hair Wig Out” released on YouTube became<br />

a national water cooler topic and its actresses went from unknowns to superstars,<br />

appearing on many national and international television shows. The video was viewed<br />

over three million times in less than two weeks and nearly one million samples of<br />

Sunsilk were given out by sampling teams and direct mail via the Sunsilk website.<br />

Consequently, Sunsilk successfully outpaced all Procter & Gamble hair brands,<br />

resulting in share growth of 105% during 2007 and achieving the #7 liquid brand<br />

following Sunsilk’s four-week partnership with MuchMusic.<br />

Furthermore, Sunsilk knew it had successfully seeded its coined phrase ‘Wig<br />

Out’ into the mainstream when, 18 days after the launch of the viral video, Britney<br />

Spears shaved her head, and the media around the world announced: ‘Britney Spears<br />

Wigs Out.’<br />
