Use the product itself as the medium and the message.Specifically in the environment where it’s most often used. The product = the medium = the message = the execution.

RESULTS:Significant increase of Citiphone queries on the new feature.Stochastic shares rose up to a record-high 92% in Malaysia. Weeks after the TV and print launch, the Creative Team came up with an engaging communication piece to further promote the Citibank Credit Card's new product feature (1-hour card replacement). The brainchild of Citibank’s Marketing Director, the 1-hour service provided a strong and single-minded platform. One that inspires strong ideas. The whole ambient campaign came into fruition with no involvement from the media team. It all started with "Let's print some cards and see what happens". This 1-hour card replacement campaign turned out strong and unique in many ways. It is intrusive yet effortless, quick to show immediacy in an irreverent sort of way.

The strategy, the medium, the message, the solution, the execution and the product itself. All these elements seamlessly interwoven.
