Outcome
Motorola’s brand improved. Once seen as old and elitist, brand perception became younger and hipper. But this response was not limited to Hong Kong alone. Because these videos multiplied. In China alone we found unprecedented awareness for a campaign that never ran in the country. Sales have continued to soar in Hong Kong, (Up 12%) but almost unbelievably, in China as well. And the consumers have joined in as well, dedicated websites to collecting all the clips, which have become a digital collector’s item. To this day, there has been online documentation of the videos reaching 54 countries.
