The Brief

1. Create buzz around the launch of the Nokia N96 by launching a promotional limited edition. 2. Create a burning desire for the N96 Bruce Lee Limited Edition beyond rational reasoning to part with a price equivalent of 5 month's salary in China. The Nokia N96 Bruce Lee Limited Edition came complete with a laser-engraved back cover featuring Bruce Lee's face, an ENTERBAY Bruce Lee Game of Death collectable figurine, nunchaku dongle, limited edition poster, and special embedded content (ringtone, images, etc).

Creative Execution

Our Chinese tech and style leading audience lives most of their life online and are heavy users of social networking sites. Being leaders, they reject mass preferring instead to be the first to discover and the social kudos that brings. Viral, an internet 'dialect', was the perfect way to reach them in their language and excite them enough to get them to the campaign site where they could explore more and place an order. Retail theatre was used to capture imaginations in-store.

Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective.

Our solution was unapologetically simple - generate enough excitement and desire through viral video on social networking sites to encourage consumers to visit the campaign site to find out more and place an order. - It's purpose was not to make a stand alone 'product sell' like traditional TV advertising. Our targets were: - 1,000,000 unique views - 1% click-through rate / 10,000 unique visitors.
