Brief Explanation

The challenge: Create hype and buzz about the launch of the new Android Smart Phone in Oman. The creative solution: Internationally, the mascot for Android is an illustration of a LITTLE GREEN ALIEN. We turned this illustration into a 3D live character and posted clips that show “SIGHTINGS” of him and his spaceship around Muscat on Youtube and Facebook. The result: Youtube: Over 60,000 VIEWS between all five “SIGHTING CLIPS” posted. Over 23,000 views for the single most viewed clip. Facebook: Over 550 MEMBERS. Sales: The entire stock of Android Smart Phones were sold out in just TWO WEEKS!
