Brief Explanation

How do you promote a golf championship in a country where less than 0.5% of the population plays the sport? Well, by looking at numbers that are more flattering. For instance, Singapore has the highest Smartphone penetration in the world. An Iphone app seemed like the answer. Now that we had their attention, we thought what if we designed another unique experience using the same app? So we launched The HSBC Live Challenge, a live, participative golf tournament in the middle of Orchard Road. After all, that's where most of Singapore hangs out in weekends.
