MOBILE MARKETING NEWS


Coca-Cola’s mobilized billboard engaged narcissistic Gen Z, delivering 350M social impressions

Looking to build on the success of its 2014 Share a Coke campaign, Coca-Cola integrated a Times Square billboard with a mobile activation this summer that helped passersby to seamlessly engage with the brand across multiple channels.

The digital billboard encouraged those in Times Square to enter Tweet their first name and see trivia related to their name show up on the screen and receive a photo when it appeared that could be shared. During a three week period, the What’s In a Name campaign generated 5.4 million audience impressions, 350 million social impressions and 42,000 social posts with the #COKEMYNAME hashtag.

“We couldn’t have done this without a real-time mobile strategy,” said Jeff Tan, vice president and director of strategy at Posterscope USA.  “Almost all of the interactions from Twitter came from mobile devices, with the overwhelming majority of inputs within the immediate vicinity of the Times Square billboard.

“This campaign worked well because it matched a key consumer insight – self-promotion and wanting 15 seconds of fame – to an activation, giving consumers their 15 seconds of fame on a huge Times Square billboard,” he said. “Further, it demonstrates the willingness of consumers, particularly Gen Z’s, to interact with OOH using their mobile.”
