OVERVIEW

ClientBriefOrObjective

Digital Geeks are rare and keenly sought after in the industry sector. So how do we win the high-calibre technology experts over to our digital agency?

Effectiveness

We gained worldwide media attention – from Wired and TechCrunch, to L.A. Times and Business Punk, to Japanese and Brazilian online magazines, among others. So we reached more than 2.5m people via print publications plus countless Internet users. The project resulted in a 200% increase in the number of applicants and the ratio of hackers among them tripled.Not to mention several new business inquiries and loads of fun for our team.So the €150 for the hardware parts were certainly invested well.

Implementation

The ultimate proof of our leading position within Germany’s digital industry is a popular open source project. So we built the first digitally-enhanced foosball table worldwide. Made by our very own geeks.

Light barriers, PCBs and an online connection to the cloud turned our agency foosball table into a high-tech device. Thanks to our custom-developed software, scores are displayed live, all games count towards the agency league and the results are tweeted.Then we released the do-it-yourself instructions for the hardware and the software on the Internet. With a little extra for the geeks playing in our league ...

Relevancy

Many technicians all over the world showed the involvement we were looking for – they inspected the code – and discovered our message between the lines:"So you love innovative technology? Then you’ve come to the right place!Send your application to jobs@sinnerschrader.de. We look forward to hearing from you."Digital Geekness is deeply anchored in our DNA. Hence the use of only the latest web-technology in combination with sleek interfaces and the fun we have at work exactly expresses our mindset.

Which is exactly what gets geeks going.
