The Brief

KBC, sponsor of the main festivals in Belgium, still had some tickets left for Pukkelpop. They wanted to share those tickets with Belgian youngsters in a fun and engaging way. “Think big” was their question. We know for a fact that festivals are extremely expensive - especially for teens, who often don’t have too much money to spend. So we came up with the KBC festival campaign: Is your €5 note a Pukkelpop ticket. Because every teen must have a €5 note somewhere in his pockets.

Creative Execution

Our media plan was very limited. Because Belgian youngsters are mostly to find online and our website being the key element, we went digital. We only used our Facebook page, bannering and youtube pre-rolls to guide people to the website. To arouse interest, we built a real-life cash machine in Gent Shopping, randomly spitting out €5 notes. We used the footage in our banners and pre-rolls. We sent a direct mail to Belgian bloggers containing a real €5 note to get started and inspire their followers. We also put up vending machines selling €5 notes for 5 euros of change.

Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective.

It was simple. We built a website where you could check your €5 notes. Every €5 note has a unique serial number. If you got a €5 note and you entered its unique code on our website, you got a chance of winning a Pukkelpop ticket. If you entered a winning number AND you could show us the original €5 note, you won a free entry for 1 day for you and a friend. The objective was to keep the barriers low, to have fun, and to have as many participants as possible.

Results

We kept the barriers very low which was very effective. Results? We got more than 150,000 visitors on the website and 63,151 €5 notes were checked in only 8 days. Some people really went for it: one person even checked 187 notes.
