2015 Winners & Shortlists

The Campaign

By June'14, Tunisians were facing an unprecedented rubbish crisis. In summer period people were spending a lot of time at the beaches and unfortunately they were being transformed into an open dumping ground. Tunisie-Telecom saw an opportunity, what if we helped, give the people on the affected beaches, who were seeing the issue, a channel to communicate to the rest of Tunisia and spread the word. Challenge, the 3G-network quality on the beaches was poor. Objectives: Engage people to clean up the beaches. Enhance the 3G++ brand-image. Increase sales by 3%. Increase Tunisie-Telecom’s ecological engagement awareness among its target by30%. Kilograms to Kilobytes: Tunisie-Telecom converts kilograms of trash on the beaches into Kilobytes of internet connection for beach goers. Tunisie-Telecom installed the “TT-Smart Converter” onto the six Tunisian beaches most effected by the rubbish crisis. The “TT Smart Converter” consisted of a digital screen, trash bin, wireless weighing scale and an optical fiber that was connected to Wi-Fi terminals omitting 3G++ connection. The background to the initiative was communicated through a short film via the digital screen, the key message being: ‘Keep our beaches clean …. 1 Gb of mobile internet connection will be offered for 1 Kg of trash The PR coverage was incredible.. Tunisie Telecom benefited from the free PR coverage estimated at $1 Million
