The Brief

To promise it’s responsibility and the performance as the world’s No.1 security software. To activate consumers visit the stores and purchase Norton software.

Describe how the promotion developed from concept to implementation

We created a premium that is the “almighty divine security gadget”. This unique premium drew people to the mobile site where they registered by typing in their prayers and were immediately given a secret phone number they could call to find out which stores had this safeguarded gadget.

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

This divine security drew people to our store front, turning the boring retail environment into a power spot. In just its first week, the promotional product sold out, the average weekly sales went up 122% and viral video received just over 400,000 views.

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

We had it sanctified by a real Shinto priest. Thanks to the divine collaboration, the retail environment turned into a power spot, and protection for your pc has now acquired a spiritual level.
