Case study: Snickers Get Some Nuts | Agency: Mediacom Create | Technology: MediaMind | Sector: FMCG | Objectives: Purchase intent, lead generation | Format: Rich media, mobile & viral
This example of data capture inside an advertising space is a good way of showing how brands can build lists and email addresses of prospects without needing them to visit the website. In this particular example, the confectionery brand Snickers uses mobile marketing as a way of sending messages between friends that are from their brand spokesperson – Mr T. The messaging is customised by name and gives the person who triggers the message a range of options. A neat way of reaching into social networks and getting people with mobiles to forward the brand message to their friends.

Case study: AIS | Sector: Telecomms | Objectives: Traffic-driving, buzz, brand awareness | Format: Rich media
Thailand-based telecommunications company Advanced Info Service PLC (AIS) is a market leader. With traditional ad channels having less impact among tech-savvy professionals, it was time for a new approach. AIS believed that many tech-savvy Thais went online for the best deals on new mobiles. So the company wanted to try online for its latest phone and airtime package. The problem was finding a media owner with high reach who could deliver measurable results.

Case study: Nokia on Facebook | Sector: Telecommunications | Objectives: Brand repositioning, buzz, trend creation | Format: Sponsorship and content integration
Nokia is about connecting people. The pioneers of mobile phones created the handsets a generation grew up with, and the handsets a generation learned to ‘talk’ with. So how smart and how fitting that Nokia is the brand behind an initiative for writing the rules for mobile and SMS conversations. Getting the most from a new technology isn’t about understanding the functions it’s about understanding how to behave with it. We master the functions quickly, but the behaviour takes longer and as people try out new technologies (from texting to tweeting), there’s a new type of behaviour we have to discover. So when Nokia started thinking about how people connect, it seemed only natural to let their customers do the talking. And that’s what you have right here. A great example of a wider social message, linked to a brand truth, delivered through a sponsorship, inside a community space, using social content - and along the way some great marketing. Like the strapline says, Nokia really are about ‘connecting people’.

Coca-Cola Zero offers Coca-Cola taste with zero calories.
