Description

dtac is the last brand to launch its wifi making the brand needs to create the better wifi experience to draw public’s attention and generate positive word-of-mouth in order to gain subscribers.

With this objective, the team came up with the idea ‘dtac: the moving wifi’, the first ever wifi that you can ‘surf while you walk’ as its hotspot can move everywhere with the users, breaking the conventional belief that wifi signal is only best when you sitting still and closely to the fixed hotspot.

The idea translated into the one day event with troop of cute animals wearing the wifi hot spot collar wandering around high traffic area in Bangkok to draw public attention and encourage people to get free trial connection.

The event immediately became the hot topic in social network as thousands pictures were taken and uploaded by passerby to their Facebook and instagram which have been shared by 1,108,199 people generated more than 10.5 million views in a few hours. While more than 5,000 people registered for free experience and consequently led to 300% increase in package subscription comparing to the non-campaign period.
