Brief Explanation

While the competitions’ ads showed hip and happening people, we turned a 66-year old called Grandma Techie (Lola Techie) into an internet celebrity. The idea: 'Bayan DSL makes it easy. ' Virals and TVCs showed she could video chat, play shoot-em-up games, respond to Youtube hits and a local celebrity's sex video. She had accounts in all the popular social networking sites, and a team of online responders kept these active, interacting with consumers as many as 7,000 times per week. All these led the target to www.lolatechie.com, where they could fill in a subscription form for Bayan DSL.
