Description
We target at those SMARTS that can identify fraud, and tell them that they need to keep their family safe from fraud as well. We put up a question “Are you one of the SMARTS?” on WeChat Moment Ad. When a viewer clicks this title, he will see a recorded video of an experiment that we conducted, telling him the facts behind the statics. We want them to think about how they should protect their family, and then we provide them a solution – an APP to keep them from fraud, and to forward our content to more people.
Execution
We searched in different provinces for those victims that didn’t tell their family the truth, and invited them and their family for this single blind test without revealing our true intension – to reveal the story behind the data and to record everything.
We put this content on WeChat Moments Ad and targeting at those white-collars in key cities, with a digital solution provided in the end of the video, and encourages them to forward the content.
