The Brief
In springtime, people like to stand out with colourful outfits and tell the world about it on their
blogs.
But how can we take this craving for colour to the next level? How can we reach beyond their
friends all the way to their colourless homes? In short: How can we lead them all to Germany's
biggest DIY store OBI? Where they can get any paint colour they want, exclusively mixed
according to their wants.
Describe how the promotion developed from concept to implementation
We invented a digital billboard for the colour mixing service of OBI. It showed people in a
surprising and unseen way that picking and mixing colours is as easy as getting dressed using
face recognition, a stereo cam, a special processor and an extra coded algorithm that assessed
thousands of colours.
The billboards rastered people passing by and matched their colours with funny colour names
exclusively created for this. The colours were shown in systems and came with QR codes that led
people to the nearest OBI store for getting their personal colours mixed.
Describe the success of the promotion with both client and consumer including some quantifiable results
In just one day, OBI had mixed their whole colour palette from make-nice-nicer-yellow to
no-hard-feelings-gentian-blue. Customers used their mobile phones to get their personal colour
card.
OBI's social media channels were also getting more colourful thanks to the hashtag
#colourblogging and those who scanned, reposted, repinned and followed us.
But most importantly: People had fun interacting, exploring and challenging OBI's Colour Picker
billboards.
Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service
Spring means more colourful clothes. And where do you express this the most: outdoors. The
digital billboard was therefore the perfect touch point to tell people that with OBI picking colours
for your walls is as easy as picking daisies in spring.
