The Brief

Inspire the creative communities in Mumbai and Bengaluru to design the PUMA 2011 Flip Flop collection. Co-create via Crowd-sourcing. Literally make your consumer also an owner of the brand.

Describe how the promotion developed from concept to implementation

We drove a vintage car loaded with graffiti cans to youth hangouts & invited them to ‘PIMP’ it with graffiti. Flyer invitations to take part in the ‘Sole Fight’ design contest at a pre-selected PUMA store were handed out.The entire activity was captured on video + stills & uploaded to YouTube, Flickr & Facebook by mobile editing crews. Real time videos, tweets & pictures were posted to Facebook, YouTube, Twitter & Flickr from every venue. The design competition at the store was also captured on video & pictures and uploaded for a Facebook contest where Puma fans picked their favourites

Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service

The campaign has set a new benchmark in integrated communications by combining on-ground activation and real-time video & image content creation, exponentially multiplied by the power of social media. Further success lies in the fact that not just the content but the product itself was co-created by consumers with the brand. More importantly, the brand created heroes out of its audiences by putting the spotlight firmly on them.
