Description
Ibis offers a summer promotion, 10 or 15 euros off each night all over Europe. The main communication objective was to make this "classic" promotion sexy and create buzz.
Execution
We produced a real band "tenor15" to endorse the promotion and break the code of the category. They enjoy the promotion in the ibis hotel during their European tour, but are disillusioned when they realise that you don't have to be a star to get this privilege. A real brand means a real music video clip, a real tour, real Facebook fan pages, a real Myspace, a page on YouTube and a real night in Ibis. Everything takes place in the ibis hotel, as it is during rockstar tours. We recorded "behind the scene" videos to make it even more real and deliver the ibis plus product.
