Challenge: As world’s leading acrylic paint supplier, Winsor & Newton has very low brand awareness in China. Clients want us to raise the brand awareness within a small budget. Strategy: Considering the small budget, we decided to go from the charity angle. By weaving our brand naturally in a project for disabled people, we wanna make it a topic all around China.
Mind art is a quite unique and innovative project to make Winsor & Newton famous in a short time. The product of Winsor & Newton acrylic paint is the center of idea execution.
Objectives: Raising brand awareness for Winsor & Newton in China, secondly raising the sales.
The Mind Art project exploded on TV stations, national press and social media. Many opinion leaders re-tweeted and made it a big topic across China. Finally reaching nearly 20,000,000 media impressions for free. The Mind Art exhibition toured 22 cities around China with average 50,000 visitors per week. Some of the paintings were auctioned and earned over RMB 800,000 which went to help disabled charities. A happy side outcome was that the brand awareness of Winsor & Newton went up 17%. And sales rose by 6.6%.
