Live Ekstraordinær by BoConcept

BoConcept is a Danish furniture and lifestyle brand. But despite its rich heritage and beautiful designs, it was getting lost amongst the Scandinavian sea of sameness that floods the industry. The Marketing Store Team needed to identify where its product and service propositions intersected with consumers’ contemporary needs. Then redefine the brand architecture, from purpose to platform.

By taking complete insights, purpose, product, and service truths, The Marketing Store Team crafted a new brand platform and to date, The Marketing Store Team has completely re-engineered BoConcept’s brand architecture. The Marketing Store Team has delivered their all-encompassing new guidelines, The Book of Ekstraordinær, which includes a completely fresh and distinct visual style. The Marketing Store Team created a powerful purpose-infused film, broadcast across their social channels.

RESULTS:

The Marketing Store Team’s purpose and platform will influence the company and brand for the next decade. The commitment to Live Ekstraordinær has been adopted by every facet of the business globally, embraced by a franchisee model excited by its limitless potential.

SURPRISE ALARM

McDonald’s wanted to increase breakfast traffic for Singapore, Taiwan, and Australia. The problem: people hate mornings.

So The Marketing Agency gave them something to look forward to.

We created McDonald’s Surprise Alarm, an alarm clock app that delivered a fun surprise every morning. Users received food items, partner prizes, music tracks, entertainment, and more.

RESULTS:

The program created a prolonged increase in sales. During the 2.5 years of the program, over 164 million prizes were delivered in Singapore, Taiwan, and Australia. In Taiwan, 12.6% of the smartphone market installed the app. In Singapore, 19.3% of all smartphones used the app.

With over 7.5 million app opens per day, the McDonald’s Surprise Alarm built brand affinity, increased visits, and drove incremental transactions.

HAPPY READERS

Based on a report revealed by European Commission, that 1 in 5 teenagers in Europe lacked basic reading and writing skills, McDonald’s decided to use their scale and reach to help. So, they briefed The Marketing Store Agency Team to find a way to raise child literacy among their broad customer base.

The team turned one of McDonald’s most iconic marketing platforms, the Happy Meal, into a tool for education by giving away fun and educational books with each purchase. And developed a new, original companion app that brought to life scenes straight from Roald Dahl’s imagination through sounds, colour and motion.

RESULTS:

More than 102 million physical and digital books found their way into the hands of Europe’s children. 80% of adults surveyed also agreed that McDonald’s was helping to make reading fun.

The work done in Europe ignited a movement within McDonald’s, inspiring a global mandate for every market to run a holistic books programme.

X19 LAUNCH by adidas

adidas wanted to launch their lightest boot ever, the x19, leveraging one of their leading assets – the Egyptian king, Mohammed Salah.

O2’s job was to make it happen in a new, and totally organic way, with a low-budget, high-engagement stunt that would stir intrigue among Salah’s followers and generate hype in the wider football community.

They knew Salah’s fans already thought of him as god-like, but what if the speed of the x19 could help him pull off a stunt worthy of this status? What if Salah could run on water? And what if we made this appear to happen for real?

So, they built an invisible runway under a remote private lake and shot two short films of Salah running out to fetch a ball he had kicked out into the water.

RESULTS:

-69% increase in mentions of Adidas football

-90% increase in positive sentiment in posts mentioning #X19

-6.4 million views of Salah’s film, with over 22k comments
