Description

Tippex , European leader in correction products, wanted to promote its whiteout pocket mouse online during the back to school period. We created an interactive campaign drawing viewers into a choose-your-own-story-style video journey. The effort broke down the boundaries of Youtube for the first time, utilizing the whole screen to exemplify the use of its whiteout product.The tippexperience started with a Youtube video "a hunter shoots a bear" featuring a hunter in the woods and suddenly facing a bear. At the end of the video the viewer decides whether the hunter should shoot or not.

Whatever the choice is, the hunter grabs the Tipp-Ex Pocket Mouse from the banner next to the video, whites out the word "shoots" and for the first time on Youtube, invites viewers to choose the end of the story by writing their own verbs directly in the title of the video.
