Description
We created the Theraflu Thermoscanner - the world's first interactive advertising medium measuring fever – one of the first symptoms of flu.
Our interactive outdoor ads equipped with a thermal camera were placed in high foot traffic areas, creating the perfect opportunity for passers by to check if they have a fever, without even having to take off their winter coat.
People could also generate their own ‘thermo-selfie’, and share it on their social media or send it to whoever they wanted… to their boss for example, as proof that they have a fever and need to take the day off.
After measuring their temperature people were directed to prepare for a flu season with Theraflu.
Execution
The campaign launched during the peak of a flu season in Poland (January-February).
We placed our city lights in most visited and crowded areas of Warsaw – near popular meeting points, metro station and malls.
Each site was placed within walking distance of a pharmacy, where we could easily convert our brand message into sales for Theraflu.
Outcome
In the launch phase we managed to reach over 100,000 people a day, with 90% of participants stating that they would try Theraflu. The data is based on both food traffic at our sights and a direct survey taken of people who interacted at key sites during the first days of the campaign.
We generated thousands of Thermo-selfies shared on peoples social media.
We also generated an estimated 20 million media impressions talking about our new , innovative device.
The Theraflu Thermoscanner was so effective that it’s currently planned to be rolled out in other locations around the world.
