Overview

Background

Vodafone GigaTV comes with a search- and recommendation function that suggests entertainment across every available platform based on your individual watching behavior. A feature that saves the average 16 minutes of deciding what to watch on which service. By automatically suggesting a likely searched keyword, Googles search bar does the same thing. Since everyone is using Google for searching good entertainment anyway it was the perfect opportunity to make GigaTVs prime feature experienceable directly on google. By precise Search Engine Optimization we could make GigaTV recommend the most searched Keywords regarding entertainment on Google. And thereby make the search bar to our unlikely ad space.

Idea

People spend 16 minutes on deciding what to watch on either streaming services or linear television. That is a lot of time they don’t actually spend an entertainment itself. Vodafone GigaTV has a cross-platform search- and recommendation function that saves users exactly this time by recommending them entertainment based on their daily watching behavior.

To proof GigaTVs advantages to non-users we made the feature experienceable in Googles search bar which does pretty much the same job as GigaTVs recommendation-engine and make our ad experience already to the user experience of GigaTV.

Strategy

Our target group (people running a household between 20-45 years old) search on a second screen for entertainment inspiration. In order to create awareness for the Vodafone GigaTV we unboxed its intelligence and made product experience available to everyone on Google.

Execution

To get into Googles Search bar we analyzed the monthly trending keywords regarding entertainment and then infused Googles auto suggestion algorithm with the proper GigaTV answers. With our customers help and search-engine-optimization we were able to make GigaTVs entertainment suggestions visible to everybody searching Google for entertainment. And making our ad experience the user experience. Keywords like “beste filme”, “Stranger Things” and “serien auf” led users to their awaited answer – but recommended by Vodafone GigaTV. Just like the actual GigaTV Box would do. But not only this. Users were also directly led to our product page and saw what they just experienced.

Outcome

GigaTV became the most clicked product for the keywords “beste filme”, “stranger things” und “serien auf”.

The suggestion “beste filme sofort auf vodafone gigatv” was viewed 100.000 times, 8.200 times clicked and ranked before Sky Entertainment.

The Google suggestion “serien auf vodafone gigatv” was viewed 80.000 times, 6.300 times clicked and ranked even before amazon prime.
