Background
Situation: Société Générale was one of the many sponsors of the Rugby World Cup 2019 in Japan.
Brief: How to stand out in an extremely crowded environment, where every brand speaks at the same time, with high media budget.
Objectives: Stand-out as the most relevant sponsor of the competition, while tiding it with our mission statement as a bank 'The future is you'.
Idea
Data influenced the story of our characters in real-time during the 11 weeks of the Rugby World Cup competition. Every prediction led to new adventures, dialogues, questions, keeping our communities entertained, from the first day to the last.
Strategy
We designed an algorithm scrapping the data from various websites such as ESPN and crossed them up with unexpected data points like temperature, lunar phase, weather conditions, location, time of day... Those results were then analysed and assessed by a team composed of analysts & creatives to write the prediction of the upcoming games.
Outcome
61% accurate prediction
145 400 000 Social impressions
Business impact: N/A
