The village where nothing ever happens/Business campaign
Agency: Shackleton
Client: Conect
Conect Pay TV Thematic Council spent 20 years running advertising campaigns talking about advertising efficiency. Looking for a new approach, it turned to agency Shackleton, which came up with a four-step process to reach business owners. It chose an unknown, never-advertised-on-TV product; launched an advertising campaign only on Pay TV, with a clear call to action to the product’s Web site; measured knowledge, awareness, traffic and sales before, during and after the Pay TV campaign; and credited Pay TV for the experiment’s efficiency and announced it to the market. The unknown product: An actual village, Miravete de la Sierra, “where nothing ever happens.” Its inhabitants appeared in four spots, broadcast solely on Pay TV channels. The “product” Web site featured a virtual tour; online reservations; a goat-milking game, downloadable ringtones and screensavers; a place to donate to the village’s church; bios of the 12 inhabitants; and a map to Miravete. The campaign boosted both the village’s economy — its two bed and breakfasts booked solid for four months — while demonstrating the effectiveness of Pay TV media. The Web site was visited 517,000 times.
