The Brief

The goal of this campaign was to introduce the Volkswagen Scirocco Cup race series for the first time in Malaysia. Our task was to create awareness and drive interest through a fun, interactive experience.

Creative Execution

Avoiding the most obvious route to create a racing game, we were inspired by training equipment designed for race drivers to improve reaction time - BATAK PRO. As a result, we developed the world’s first Augmented Reality game based on real life training equipment.

Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective.

The solution was to create an interactive game which gained repeated plays and site visits. Through the game we impressed upon users, how a race driver feels behind the wheel while keeping the experience fun and exciting. We wanted to generate awareness and buzz leading up to race day.

Results

The microsite garnered repeated plays and site visits. The campaign ran for a total of 2 weeks. During that time, traffic sources sent a total of 4,317 visits. And the average time spent per user was 5.02 minutes.
