Creative Execution

For two days, we installed 5 doors in France and linked to 5 doors in European cities with a distinctive scene played out for each one: Barcelona, Milan, Geneva, Stuttgart and Brussels. This event is based on a double technological achievement: providing a spotless real-time experience thanks to a satellite connection and a custom-made digital screen that fit perfectly inside a doorframe. To increase the effectiveness of the campaign, an ambitious mediaplan was set up: - Movie theatres - Massive posters in the Parisian metro and on buses - POS-advertising - Display - Pre-roll

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

Business, marketing & communication objectives : In France, the majority of people think, wrongly, that the TGV (the high speed train of the French national railway company SNCF) only serves French cities and does not go beyond the country's borders. So how can we make French people realize that European destinations are easily accessible, direct and center-to-center? The idea : What if you are able to open a door and in just a second, travel from France to another large European city? We made this a reality with interactive doors creating a multicultural experience for French pedestrians with their European neighbors.
