What's the story… Since young people can’t spend money like there’s no tomorrow, we helped them enjoy
tomorrow without spending money: having fun with the perfect ambassadors for their generation
We challenged Joko and Klaas, popular Jackass-style rival comedians, to the ultimate battle Giro sucht Hero” (Giro Casts a Hero) to become Sparkasse´s next ambassador and provide product testimonials to young people
“Serial born endorsers” The pair casted musicians to recreate the best Sparkassen theme-song and shake up the brand
´s safe style Strapped into rally cars with pro-drivers racing 150 km/h They used the bank´s locator app to deliver a cake to a Sparkassen customer, competing to
convert football fanatics with a cash prize transferred via the bank´s mobile app, they narrowly escape angry fans
On holidays, the pair used Sparkassen´s credit card to take hideous revenge on each other
Success 39% spontaneous ad recall vs closest competitor (13% V+R Banken and 10% ING) +75% recall for its Giro offers +21% desire for Giro account (45% vs V+R 22% and ING 5%) +8% leader bank

OBERMUTTEN by the mayor of Obermuttenor how a small village can reach global press coverage…
What's the story… Switzerland has many lovely little villages in the Alps, such as Obermutten, but sadly nobody knows
them. For that reason, the major of the small town Obermutten decided to create a Facebook page with a special promise
“Grüezi” to Obermutten The campaign started with a video, featuring the mayor's promise that anyone who 'liked' the
village's Facebook page would have their profile picture put on the Obermutten's notice board Soon, the notice board was so full that the profile pictures had to be put on houses. In addition to the profile pictures posting, the campaign engaged its fans with more video postings
and a contest for one lucky person to win a scarf knitted by the mayor’s daughter.
Success Almost 15.000 Facebook Fans 4 out of 5 Fans interact with the page Fans from 32 countries Approximately 60 Million people have read or heard about Obermutten worldwide thanks to the
Facebook campaign and the press coverage around it Costing about 10,000 Swiss francs, the campaign has reportedly brought in 2.4 million francs in
earned media
Why we liked it… A village of 79 inhabitants creates a campaign that reaches 60 Million and
generates more fan engagement than Lady Gaga. A good example for “THINK BIG”

NIKE TAKE MOKUM CAMPAIGN by Nikeor how to re-launch a sport…
What's the story… Nike was determined to reset runner’s minds in the Netherlands. Youngster think that running is
boring, so Nike devised a plan to have people “Run Unleashed,” making running light hearted, playful and enjoyable and, thus, attracting a whole new target group of young urban runners
A new way to run… Nike created a revolutionary Facebook application that let runners draw a graffiti running route
over the map of Amsterdam. They could color the graffiti by going out running, registering the run with Nike+ and filling the graffiti with their actual KM’s run.
The graffiti made them run in completely new way. It shifted from being focused on schedules and minutes to expressing creativity while running. And it attracted the young, urban runners who started designing creative graffiti’s turning the map of Amsterdam into a virtual canvas
A Nike Runhouse pop-up store was opened close to Amsterdam’s most famous urban park where Nike further engaged youngsters in the Run Unleashed experience with events, runs and free product trials
Success They converted over 9,000 new running members The online running club was visited 183,275 times 220 graffiti’s were created on top of the Amsterdam grid within 6 weeks time (colored with
1,268 Nike+ kilometers)
Why we liked it… It was a creative way to attract the youth population to a sport that is all about routine,
lacks heroes and is actually pretty boring

What's the story… To announce its brands new video game (DC UNIVERSE ONLINE), in which you can design your own
super hero, Playstation created a real-life tailor shop. Gamers could go in and have their personal super hero suits made
“Mr. Lee is all about confidentiality…”
An original truly integrated campaign where you can make your suit a reality and live the same experience as the game in the off line world
The shop opened in the heart of Madrid, near the majority of comic shops. Undoubtedly, it received lots of success and soon there was a long waiting list to get tailored. Book yours and try your chances to make your crime fighting alter-ego a reality
Success It was the most successful campaign launch for Playstation yet and Mr Lee Taylor Shop is more sought
– after than the Batcave!

Ibrahimovic playing frisbee... Players from both sides ran out onto the pitch and immediately abandoned their usual warm-up
routine Zlatan Ibrahimovic chose to play frisbee. A pink capped Sergio Almiron pretended to go for a
swim. Thiago Silva entertained the crowd with his limbo skills. Even Gennaro Gattuso got involved as the pitbull began prancing around with the referee

perseverance of a number of innocent couples in a movie theater
“This is not what we paid for” To reinforce the new baseline ‘That Calls for a Carlsberg’ Duval Guillaume Modem proposed an
original experiment. In Belgian cinemas some innocent couples were confronted with a theatre filled with not-so-friendly gentlemen and only 2 seats left…
How will they react? The result of this experiment can be seen in Kinepolis and online via YouTube
Success 4,450,000 people watched the YouTube video A worldwide buzz

What's the story… To go with the brand’s message that ‘Slimming doesn't have to be boring’, Contrex, the bottled
water owned by Nestlé, developed an event that demonstrated just this…exercise can be fun
“Paddle for Chip & Dales” Pink lights, a majestic building, 10 bikes, a lot of women and a striptease Contrex mineral water is calcium-rich, which supposedly speeds up the metabolism, thus
burning more calories and helping you lose weight faster The event, targeting the ladies, saw a group of women burn 2000 calories in just a few minutes
of fun and playful cycling Riding pink work out bikes powering a neon light man’s strip tease, they illustrate that working
out doesn’t have to be boring or tough, and when it’s over, a well-deserved downing of Contrex comes as a great reward

Havas Sports & Entertainment GermanyPredictions for 2012
After heavy flirting with social media in 2011, brands will go beyond merely looking at Likes and Fans, and start caring and measuring engagement and community building
The value of a meaningful relationship will be properly appreciated to build strong communities, CRM programs, loyalty and integrated transactions
To prove the effectiveness of social media campaigns, brands will develop more sophisticated measurement algorithms to prove the ROI, more commonly to be known as ROSS (return on social spend)
By the end of 2012, successful brands in social media will have focused more upon increasing their levels of engagement with fans, than the number of fans

Social Media Effectiveness ‘Beyond Fans and Likes’
Cyber PR will become more challenging across online influencers who traditionally would blog or tweet about a campaign for free. This will change in 2012. The world’s first million dollar blogger will be created
Already in LATAM, and especially in Mexico, it is not un-common for a blogger to request $15,000 for a Tweet or blog post mentioning or linking to a brand. This emerging trend will spread across the globe
Accessing a blogger, will in some instances require contacting a blog management agency. Blog networks will manage the syndication of posts across a diverse range of interests and passions

London 2012 will be swamped in social media
More Tweets, shares, Likes, posts, comments, views will take place in 1 month, than ever before
News, scandals, records & exclusives will all be read on Twitter first. Then on the news channels and papers. Footage we aren’t supposed to see, we will. Thanks to Facebook, bit.ly and YouTube
There will be more Likes and friends for London 2012 than any other sporting event, ever. It will remain one of the top 5 trending topics in Twitter globally, for 1 month
During the 100m final there will be more messages, images and videos shared via social media, than at any other time since the dawn of the world wide web

Artists are increasingly asking their fans to not only suggest or create their album artwork, but to contribute to the actual audio that is released on the single or album.
During 2012 we predict an increase in fan sourced audio. More and more fans will contribute to the official release, making the list of credits read like a who’s who of the ultimate fan club.
Brands and artists will embrace this collaborative opportunity. A fan will be supersaulted from his bedroom to the 02 or Wembley stage. Royalties will take this fan from a 1 bedroom apartment, to a beach front bungalow.
Campaigns will be created in days and weeks, not months or years. Real time listening, creation, and distribution will mean a trending topic is acted upon, to create the long tail effect of relevance, overnight
Traditional production and content costs will go down, but licensing costs will go up, benefiting bedroom content creators
A fan at a sporting event will get rich quick, over the course of the weekend, at the press of a button. His unique content will be viewed (YouTube giving him advertising revenue for his page), licensed (broadcast revenue) and used without permission, winning a liable case
Agile content : more relevant, less costly

Personalized Content
Content will be more customized for each target audience based upon location, profile, interests and their networks.
Smart filtering and customization will make content more shareable and rewarding. Sharing content across a consumer’s peer groups, will provide another layer of rewards for the consumer. Great content will continue to be viral and shareable.
An increase in mobile content, delivered direct to a consumer’s handset will create connections all through the day, the night, and weekend.

Thanks to Flickr.com- creative commonshttp://www.flickr.com/photos/cambodia4kidsorg/3290848259/
PR accountability
PR will become more accountable and more accurate in measuring the ROI.
Traditional media monitoring agencies will integrate buzz monitoring services and metrics to provide more accurate qualative and quantative results.
Every PR agency will provide as part of a campaign evaluation : reach, sentiment, influencer analysis and equivalent media value (through an updated media evaluation tool).
Accountability and campaign evaluation will become more accurate and enable more accurate campaign planning and re-optimization. Clients will request greater accountability and performance related pricing models.

Sporting venues and stadiums are the second most checked-in places worldwide. The most popular checked-in places are airports
Brands, sponsors and rights holders will leverage this opportunity to geo target fans with compelling and shareable content and promotional messages. Having identified a physical fan, data will provide an on-going and customized relationship back to their home
2012 will see a huge increase in the connections between these attending fans, virtual fans and brand messages. 2012 will become the year of social currency – more shareable, more entertaining and more personalized

Live events get greener
Stronger corporate social responsibility, combined with increased consumer awareness of recycling and the need for a cleaner environment, will result in more environmentally friendly events.
Sponsors will require event producers to have committed to make the event as carbon neutral as possible. Sponsors will consider this ‘green score’ just as much as the number of attendees and media value.
Recycling will have high visibility at each event and be a creative and entertaining activity that attendees warmly embrace.

Digital Amnesty Day
1 day a year, everything will shut down, almost. Companies will ask all their staff to ‘switch off and unplug for 24 hours’.
At first employees will be scared and confused. They will scratch their heads wondering how they can perform their job or task, without a digital connection.
After 3 hours a smile will spread across their faces. It will be a beautiful day or real relationships and friendships the old fashioned way, face to face. We will re-discover social skills, beyond Facebook. We will put into perspective the role of digital. It will become a yearly event.
