The Brief

We launched a movement called "Let's Play China" based on OMO's global "Dirt is Good" platform. The movement educates moms that the key to a child's success is not only about study. Proper child development is balanced. But how do we go beyond just educating users about the movement. What are we doing for those who have become believers, advocators and drivers of the movement. What can we give them?

Creative Execution

We went beyond educating and engaging through websites, search engine apps, social media and forums. We wanted to be at the side of our 30,000,000 supporters when they actually made that change in their behavior and took their kid outside, away from the computer. It doesn't tell them what to do, but shows them what they could do. For moms, its like talking another mom, a mom that enables informs that before, enables that during and supports them after they play. Thats what OMO is all about, enabling women with powerful laundry solutions to free them of time and worry.

Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective.

The app was enables them with information on their local weather forecast, places nearby they could take their kids, events hosted by kids development groups. We also gave them 102 different game ideas, and to make every second count, included step by step instructions on each game. Moms could share any game idea with their friends across different social networks. The brand was there, wayyyy in the back providing cleaning tips if needed as well as mobile coupons.
