Brief Explanation

The action uses Augmented Reality to connect Majid magazine with it's website, delivering a seamless experience for Majid fans. The magazine remains part of the experience when users reach the website. Users physically show the magazine’s AR code to their webcam and the magazine becomes a steering wheel in the online game. The game is advertised in the magazine itself, promoted with online banners and with a viral 'how to' video hosted on the site, facebook on youtube. It works, increasing site traffic by 25%!
