Description

Tippex, European leader in correction products, wanted to promote its whiteout pocket mouse during the back to school period, online.Buzzman 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 white-out product.It started with a video called "a hunter shoots a bear" on Youtube featuring a hunter camped out in the woods and suddenly facing a bear. At the end of the video the viewer decides whether the hunter should or shouldn't shoot the bear.

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 ever on Youtube, invites viewers to choose the end of the story by writing their own verbs directly in the title of the video.42 alternative scenes were shot; anything you write gets a video response. The possibilities are infinite.

The results to date:- 46 million views- Shares, likes and comments on Facebook = +1M- Tweets = 220,000- 60 ,00 online articles- International TV coverage
