Virginity Map

Agency: AIM Proximity
Client: TVNZ

Producers of New Zealand’s TVNZ’s drama series, Go Girls, wanted a cost-effective way to attract more viewers during the show’s second season to ensure a season three pick-up. Incorporating the plotlines of Go Girls, which usually revolve around who’s sleeping with who, AIM Proximity built a cheeky Virginity Map website where users could find intimate knowledge about the show’s characters and share some of their own. It was applauded by the Caples judges for being “right on brand” as well as for its use of Google Maps. Visitors to the Virginity Map are invited to place a virtual pin on the location of where they “lost theirs” and add a rating and commentary. More than 19,000 unique visitors have checked out the Virginity Map site, and 1,731 pins have been placed on the map. On-demand views of Go Girls on the TVNZ website increased by 70% in the two weeks following the Virginity Map launch, and production on Go Girls’ season three is to begin soon.

Mr. Knowitall

Agency: M&C Saatchi/Mark
Client: Samsung

Samsung hired M&C Saatchi/Mark to develop a campaign that would bolster the launch of its Social Hub and demonstrate how the mobile application works. The agency created Mr. Knowitall, a fictional character who knows everything about everyone in his social circle thanks to the Samsung app that integrates all of a user’s social networks into one easy-to-use interface. To show how the Social Hub works, the agency featured a secondary social media timeline that unfolded along with the story and consisted of all the social media and messaging to which Mr. Knowitall was privy. The experiential online campaign also gave users the chance to star in the movie along with four Facebook friends by adding their names, profile photos and the music they liked, making it more personal. The Caples judges appreciated the campaign’s “good use of appropriate social media interaction” and “great production values.” The microsite has received more than 100,000 unique visitors since launch.

Live Rescue






Agency: DDB Group New Zealand RappTribal

Client: Coastguard New Zealand

Coastguard New Zealand wanted to demonstrate the difficulties of saving a life at sea to the country’s citizens in order to increase donations by at least 20%. RappTribal in New Zealand organized a live rescue event, which involved the public in a mock search for four people stranded off the country’s coast. In addition, direct response ads sent viewers to liverescue.co.nz, a microsite that placed visitors in a search simulator and gave them the tools available to the Coastguard with the objective to locate the victims. The campaign demonstrated the difficulties that the Coastguard endures daily, with only 1.8% of participants able to locate the boat. Caples judges approved of the microsite’s immersive experience and “good integration of weather and time information to enhance the experience.” The campaign resulted in 2010 online donations that were nine times higher than the previous year and a 41% increase in overall donations, doubling the client’s goal.

Growth/Business campaign

Agency: Proximity London
Client: Company: Royal Mail

Royal Mail wanted to show UK small businesses that direct mail is highly effective when used as part of an integrated campaign. Proximity London initiated a strategy to prove the channel’s efficacy by positioning Royal Mail as a potential business partner for small business, rather than just a means of transporting materials from one location to another. The “Growth” campaign had at its core a microsite consisting of 14 questions for small-business owners regarding growth strategies. Proximity’s database generated helpful advice, products and case studies customized to each respondent’s answers, and each respondent was sent a tailored direct mail package. Since October 2008, 270,000 visits to the site have resulted in a 50% conversion rate and a 25% referral rate.

The yellow treehouse/Business campaign






Agency: AIM Proximity
Client: The Yellow Pages Group

In New Zealand, the Yellow Pages was seen as an old fashioned book that was no longer the best place for people to find businesses. Because of this, Yellow was finding it increasingly difficult to sell listings in its books and to get people to use its books and site. AIM Proximity wanted to show that consumers could do any job using only Yellow. The agency set up Tracey Collins, a young, pleasant New Zealander with restaurant experience, with the mission to build a restaurant in a Redwood tree using only Yellow to find the myriad suppliers she needed. Each business that helped was featured and linked on YellowTreehouse.co.nz. DRTV, radio, print, billboards, mail and Web ads showed the progress of the restaurant, which, once completed, allowed people to register for a meal. Two thousand people visited the restaurant before it was taken over by Redwood Park, where it was constructed. Yellow itself reaped treetop-high results: Sales of its directories increased 6.7%, with online usage rising 11%, year-over-year.

Also placed Gold in the Integrated and Interactive categories.

The best job in the world/Single consumer






Agency: SapientNitro
Client: Tourism Queensland

Tourism Queensland was in a bind. Consumers booking island vacations were often looking beyond the Great Barrier Reef to locations such as Greece, the Maldives and Hawaii. Agency SapientNitro decided to draw attention to the area by offering the best job in the world — “island caretaker.” The contest launched in January 2009, offering a paid ($150,000 AUS) position for six months. Applicants from around the world — nearly 35,000 of them from 20 countries — entered by sending 60-second video applications. Because applicants needed to demonstrate knowledge of the area, they were forced to learn more about the Reef region, thus raising awareness of the destination. The winner was Ben Southall, a diving and sailing enthusiast from the United Kingdom. Southall reported on his experience through blogs, photos and video diaries celebrating the islands. The campaign garnered plenty of worldwide attention, and news articles covering it are still searchable on Google. Not bad for a budget of less than $2 million.
