ClientBriefOrObjective

To coincide with the back-to-school period, Tipp-ex, an European correction fluid company, wants to promote online its whiteout Pocket Mouse.The target is pupils, students and customers of Tipp-ex.

The strategy was to turn an ordinary product into a unique and ground-breaking interactive experience on YouTube.Our strategy was to create a specific relation between this target and the brand, and thus virally spread the Tippexperience.

Implementation

An interactive YouTube rich media campaign.It starts with a video on YouTube featuring a hunter out in the woods and suddenly facing a bear. At the end of the video the viewer decides whether the hunter should shoot the bear or not. Whatever the choice is, the hunter grabs the Tipp-Ex Pocket Mouse from the banner next to the video, whites out the word « shoots » and invites viewers to choose the end of the story by writing their own verbs directly in the title of the video.For each action, there's a video response.

Relevancy

The interactive campaign drew viewers into a choose-your-own-story-style video journey. The effort broke down the boundaries of YouTube for the first time, utilising the whole screen to exemplify the use of its whiteout product.42 alternative scenes were shot so anything you write gets a video response. The possibilities are infinite.With the signature « White and Rewrite », the video on YouTube and the interaction, the campaign is very appropriate to the brand and to the target.
