Execution
We seeded the campaign idea ‘my phone knows everything about me’ and discretely introduced the characters through Facebook, youtube and PR (on and offline) prior to launch, to establish word of mouth amongst an active and influential cultural audience.We created a feeling of scale and ubiquity through our launch materials which served to introduce the characters, to build interest in their stories and to drive traffic to the microsite.Beyond TV, print, outdoor and radio, the storylines lived on somebodyelsesphone.com, were supported by Facebook pages, influencer outreach, mobile content, interactive partnerships, a widget, banners and events with credible partners like the Parisian boutique Colette. The story ran for ten weeks, fusing scripted content with real time audience interaction through text messages, voicemails and Facebook conversations. The campaign culminated in a finale party in Paris where our three characters stories intertwined, and the most engaged fans won the chance to party with the cast.
