Overview

Description

The test was announced with a radio commercial full of slang language that we aired on Radio 1, Belgium’s number one newsradio for slightly more grown up listeners.

We asked the listeners to shazam the commercial to get the translation (please listen to radio commercial nr 1 or watch casemovie)

when people shazamed the commercial, they got this translation (now please listen to radio commercial nr 2 or watch casemovie)

Execution

Implementation: the commercial was aired on radio, people could Shazam it in order to better understand it. And immediately do the language test via the direct link.

Timeline: the campaign ran during 3 weeks.

Placement: Radio 1 and other radio stations with a slightly more grown up audience.

Scale: the commercial got around 300 airings

Outcome

On shazam there was a direct link to the language test.

After only a few hours #languagetest was already trending topic n°1 on twitter

and over 145.000 people participated on the first day.
