The Brief

It is a clear demonstration of an APP usage, on a TV program! It is a live call-for-action campaign, led by the program host. He is not just “demonstrating” in person how to use the APP, also requesting audience to follow him real time. Instantly, audience can co-create the voice book lively – and show the result on the TV screen.

Creative Execution

We initially launched an activation to create the association between voice donor 2.0 and “Voice of China”, encouraging audience to share their voice to “the voice of China” to achieve the goal of completing 20 new audio books to assist the blind and illiterates on social media first. Then the host, Hua Shao, famous about his speed of speaking, demonstrated the mechanics of voice donor on live broadcast, invites celebrities and audience to complete a voice book together. This leads more celebrities to volunteer afterwards. Under the need of publicity along with “left-behind in charity” pressure, celebrities competed with each other across number of fans participation, as well as the fast record to complete the book. The superstar, Li-Bin-Bin and her fans took only 20 minutes to complete a voice book, which is the fastest on the record.
