The Brief

For years, Indesit has been sponsoring some of the most important European football clubs, actively promoting 'clean' football. After a series of operations in the stadiums, aimed at supporting a concept of football based on respect, it was necessary to boost the connection with our target by reaching straight into the homes of our female customers

Describe how the promotion developed from concept to implementation

Our idea was to offer our customers a special service: cleaning the language of their partners, who notoriously speak 'dirty' while watching football matches. With a DEM, we asked the 50,000 women from our Facebook page to tell us whether they were annoyed by the language of their partners during the matches, and then we selected a sample of 300 women among the responders. We sent them the Cleaner Football Machine, a vocal recognition device patented by Indesit, able to recognise swear words and jam the TV signal for ten seconds afterwards.

Describe the success of the promotion with both client and consumer including some quantifiable results

Less swear words, more happy women during football matches

Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service

Also this year, Indesit has proved to be the symbol of clean football, paying special attention to its core target: women. With the Cleaner Football Machine, Indesit has reached straight into their homes and has given people happiness and fun, promoting even more customer loyalty.
