Execution
We placed the Samsung S4 inside a special CLP billboard in busy hotspots and invited people to stare at the phone for 60 minutes to win it. During the 60 minutes players were challenged by a number of outrageous distractions From police dogs and renegade motor cyclists to arguing couples and hot dog dealers on fire - a series of professional actors doing their utmost to create a scene and steal the attention away from the new S4. Even local celebrities such as Miss Switzerland and a heavyweight boxer arrived to try to distract the people trying to focus on the phone.

Strategy
In Switzerland, the nation’s almost 8 million inhabitants are divided into 4 major languages: French, German, Italian and Romansch – 4 regions with regional media formats. To reach the nation in a traditional way you need to be dubbed or subtitled in 4 different languages. This makes the web a particularly effective medium to reach the masses in one shot. Switzerland’s online users account for more than 85% of the population and 50% of Swiss people use smartphones.
