OVERVIEW

Execution

Guys fell in love with the Lynx Angels through the TVC, but what they value most is interactivity and experiences, so we chose digital OOH screens as the channel to deliver this desire – but transformed them into a something truly mind-blowing using Augmented Reality. We cherry-picked two of the biggest digital screens in the UK and booked weekend takeovers to maximise impact. We then made a video of the action to bring the experience to our guys on personal digital screens; making the investment work as hard as possible.We used proximity DOOH to drive awareness and O2 proximity messaging to increase the likelihood of engagement amongst our super-social guys, promoting the Angels’ presence in the station and encouraging participation, issuing a challenge “to see if the angels fall for you…”.

Outcome

Lynx Excite is the most successful variant launch to date, overtaking Dark Temptation as the second highest-selling Lynx variant, never previously achieved by a launch. It jumped from 3% to 22% of Lynx sales over the campaign period, with total body spray sales growing 18%.Angel Ambush achieved 1.17m views on the YouTube channel. It was the highest-rated and viewed video on the channel (double the second highest video!) and was shared over 30,000 times. The activity was recognised as an innovative use of media on over 249 posts including WIRED US and the BBC, delivering an estimated 240,000,000 OTS.
