Creative Execution

Our strategy was to create a dynamic brand experience that would transform Hubbing from a function to an emotional desire amongst consumers. Our key message was: Life. Hub it! The campaign was supported with a 360-degree media approach, utilising Press, FTA, Cable, OOH, Radio, Magazine, Digital and Mobile. To showcase StarHub as a cross platform provider, our team designed a trans-media experience that could be shared; supported by a smart phone application, Hub it!. The campaign revolved a game to reunite StarHub’s mascot Sparky with a poodle, Kiki. The game was introduced through a teaser campaign on our 360-degree platform. The launch included Singapore’s first fully interactive TVC, allowing the consumer to become part of the story. Heavy OOH, magazine and radio supported digital activity. Clues to the game were released daily on Facebook and Hub It!. All media worked seamlessly towards the success of the campaign.

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

Amongst the 3 telecommunications providers in Singapore, StarHub was the pioneer in Hubbing - the ability to deliver unique, integrated and converged services to its customers. However, SingTel and M1 were tight on StarHub’s heels, offering Hubbing services of their own, threatening StarHub’s lead, and leaving little differentiation for consumers between the 3 major players. Our objective was to redefine what Hubbing meant to the TA (age 15-49, with particular focus on youth, age 15-24). We wanted the TA to connect with Hubbing services on a more emotional level, thus cementing their relationship to the StarHub brand. Concrete goals included: • Create >30,000 consumer interactions, including app downloads, Twitter and Youtube • Increase the Facebook fan base by 50% • Achieve a 2% increase in Triple-Service Subscription households • Achieve a minimum ROI of 100% • Improve the brand score for Hubbing by 5%
