The Brief

The promo was intended to boost acquisitions and to demonstrate the affordability and convenience of red Mobile's lowest unlimited service.

Describe how the promotion developed from concept to implementation

Due to budget constraints, red could only afford to advertise through radio. Using the budget of a 30-second radio spot, we thought of a call-in promo where people get to use the unlimited mobile service without restraint. We used the Filipinos' love for soap operas and fame, and created the first ever interactive radio drama – Dial-A-Drama. Here, callers get a twisted situation and a character to play. The best caller to portray that character wins phone load.

Describe the success of the promotion with both client and consumer including some quantifiable results

Callers did not hold back in using red Mobile to become a star, averaging 3 minutes per call. red Mobile enjoyed 27 minutes of airtime for the cost of a 30-second ad, with a media mileage of $9,600 everyday. 57,000 new subscribers joined red during the promo.

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

By using radio, even people who did not have the face to be actors had the chance to become stars. The unlimited rates were so low that people took their time in grabbing their 15 minutes of fame. Filipinos loved drama and fame so much that people subscribed to red Mobile just to be part of Dial-A-Drama.
