Overview

CampaignDescription

Advertising in traditional media in Colombia is becoming more expensive every day, clients have lower budgets, productions are getting reduced and campaign quality is being affected by the situation going on in the country. That´s why we looked for new ways to reach consumers by doing advertising that lives naturally in people's lives generating a big impact at low cost.

Fin de la conversación

Effectiveness

FIFA wanted to communicate that the new FIFA 14 now includes the colombian soccer league. During the live broadcast of the most important match of the entire colombian soccer league we replaced in real time the most important plays and goals with the graphics of FIFA 14. Four gamers replicated those plays and goals in an XBOX match and we immediatly switched them in the replay of the live broadcast with a message comunicating the good news. This way all colombians found out that the new FIFA 14 now has the colombian soccer league included.

Implementation

The audience were drawn to the content every time a team scored or had the chance. In that moment we replaced the normal re-runs of each play with our gamer's real time recreation of the game in FIFA 14. We also surprised them with other moments of the live game being replaced with the graphics of FIFA 14.

Outcome

220% increase of sales versus last year. This game was one of the most watched games of the entire season and it was broadcasted in the most important sports tv channel of Colombia. It was also broadcasted online. So, basicaly, we reached a huge amount of the population in real time. The rest of the country found out afterwards with the the media attention that we drew.
