The Brief

Virgin Mobile is outspent by rivals 20 to 1. So they often look to social media as a cost effective way of building and sharing the brand position - Making Mobile Better. We wanted to directly involve people in making mobile better by getting them to turn food photos into real meals for those in need.

Creative Execution

The execution directly used the product to show the audience how Virgin Mobile was attempting to make mobile better for everybody. What better way to demonstrate this than directly involving people in turning a trivial mobile behaviour into something much better.

Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective.

18-55 year old Australians. Most people knew the brand but were not actively involved with it or were reluctant to join the provider. This campaign was designed to spread the word that Virgin was dedicated to making the mobile experience better.
