The Challenge
Al Hilal Bank is an Islamic bank that works hard to maintain and live by its core corporate values. The Bank is also known for its standout orange branding. The task at hand was to increase awareness of the bank's position on sustainability and environmentally-friendly practices.
We began looking for opportunities to help the UAE environment. Our initial focus was on the capital, Abu Dhabi, and its inner city traffic, which can be a real issue making journeys to the bank laborious and time consuming.
The Campaign
What if we didn't have to drive to the bank? What if it came to us? And so, eGrab was born—the world's first eco-friendly, emission-free mobile banking branch that visits you, not vice versa—providing convenience to customers short on time, helping them save on fuel and parking costs whilst also reducing air pollution.
On board you'll find everything you need for daily banking including a teller and ATM machine. All of which make the name 'eGrab' very appropriate!
The initiative was in such agreement with the UAE's eco-friendly policies, that His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan attended the inauguration and launched the bus himself generating a lot of additional PR.
Our awareness campaign featured the silhouette of eGrab against the majestic Abu Dhabi skyline. The 'invisible' bus alludes to just how 'light' this mobile branch is on the environment.
Online, users were able to track and locate the bus as it travelled around the capital.
On Facebook, we went beyond awareness, setting up a permanent tab to show the bank's long-term commitment to thinking green. To encourage our followers to think green themselves, we launched the 'Think Green and Win' campaign where users shared Al Hilal's eco-tips via their own Facebook and Twitter accounts, spreading eco-awareness amongst their peers.
The prize for sharing tips was a Think Green iPad loaded with eco-friendly apps.
The Results
The social campaign resonated very positively amongst our target audience. As a result Facebook fans grew by 21%. We witnessed a sharp spike in activity as over 700 people engaged with our page daily, sharing eco-tips and creating nearly 16500 new stories. This helped us achieve a reach of over 200,000 unique users daily throughout the campaign.
Many followers posted their own eco-tips on our wall while others enthusiastically took part in conversations about environmental issues and the reform of societal eco-agendas in the UAE.
Momentum and Coca Cola teamed up to launch the Today I Will campaign, developed by FP7/DXB and aimed at inspiring the youth across the region. The campaign aggregated inspirational stories from the young influencers of the region and encouraged consumers to share their own stories for a chance to be featured on the Coca Cola can.
The Campaign
To bring the campaign to life, Momentum first gathered inspiring stories from such influencers as Saudi rappers Black R and Alanoud, a fashion designer and prominent fashion blogger, and featured them on the Coca Cola cans, Facebook and YouTube. Next, Momentum developed a Facebook Augmented Reality application which enabled users to view the videos embedded in the Coke cans just by holding a can of Coke in front of their cameras. Users were then encouraged to record and upload their own inspirational stories.
In addition, to unveil and gather insights on the Today I Will TVC and create buzz around the campaign, Momentum organized an event with the region's most popular bloggers and tweeps.
The Results
The campaign was a true success. In just over a month, the Facebook page aggregated 90,000+ fans and created engagement with the region's consumers.
Digital? Physical? Combining both, the campaign is true manifestation of what Momentum stands for - Phygital.
The Challenge
Trusted to care for skin for generations, Nivea was looking to celebrate their 100th anniversary. True to its Phygital essence, Momentum created a strategy that united online and offline efforts that marked the anniversary and leveraged it to engage Nivea fans and potential customers.
The Campaign
As part of the initiative online users were encouraged to share their stories of how Nivea has touched their lives throughout the years. Momentum designed and developed a microsite and Facebook page where users could upload their stories, read others' submissions, and learn more about Nivea's history. To connect with Nivea customers offline, Momentum created an iPad application, which enabled consumers to take pictures and print them in the form of Nivea 100 years adverts, installed at locations throughout Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
The Results
As a result, Nivea aggregated 3,000+ stories from consumers across the region and 6,000+ picture submissions.
