Creative Execution

An unbranded campaign was created to stimulate the audience and drive them to participate. Riding on the increasing influence of social media and blogs, we chose online as our main channel and launched inmynewworld.com, a crowdsourcing platform, to create the content of our re-launch campaign and started #inmynewworld. We developed an app; created recording booths, radio programming, rolled out an online and offline campaigns asking people to create the change they want to see and help us change their brand to the better. People could record videos via the app, on their desktop or in the booth and instantly upload them to the site. In 48 hours we collected the content and created TV ads, radio spots, prints and animations for our new brand campaign.
