OVERVIEW

Execution

We created a media by custom designing and building five fully ‘pimped-out’ Cabbie-Oke cabs. Partnering with key youth brands including Universal Music Australia, the fleet launched in February 2010 cruising nightlife locations in Sydney and Melbourne.

With the latest Microsoft Xbox technology and a customised version of the ‘Lips’ karaoke game, passengers choose their favourite tune for a free ride. Cameras captured their performances - the content edited and uploaded onto a branded YouTube channel and microsite within 24 hours. Each weekend, the five best performers won an Xbox 360, while voters got the chance to win a smart phone.We designed the campaign around the customer experience and getting word of mouth impact. Pre-launch, “influentials” were invited to unpublicised, private launch events in underground venues and extensive ongoing social media monitoring enabled us to fix issues identified by youth, ensuring Cabbie-Oke was always the best part of their night.
