Close to 1,000 kids entered the event. 4,990 packs were sold on the day. Plus free publicity that amounted to P1,991,040 in radio announcements, P200,304 in newspaper and TV coverage and P 53,272.50 in online exposure. Participating kids also developed a new affinity for the brand because it made them experience the energy and thrill of competing in an Olympic sports tournament.
So we created Tiger Virtual Games, the world’s first Wii Olympics. We invited kids through myriad of media to compete in Wii Sports for medals and the ultimate prize – free Wiis. Cost of entry was just 5 empty packets of Tiger. We staged the ‘Running of the Wii’, a lead-up event to the tournament, where kids carried the controller like a torch across three major cities. We then turned it into a invational video online. This was supported by blogs, a PR campaign, radio announcements and merchandising.
Video gaming is the favorite play-activity of Asian kids. But 99% of video games don’t require physical energy to be played, reducing the need for the product we were trying to sell kids, Tiger Energy Biscuits. Our Solution? Don’t stop kids playing video games. Just get them playing one that requires physical energy – Nintendo Wii.
