The Brief

Right before the start of the new school year Radio 1 wanted to open the discussion about the quality of the Belgian education system.

Describe how the promotion developed from concept to implementation

To do this, we created a challenge based on a scientific test for animals from the Max Planck Institute for Anthropology.

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

The campaign was widely spread ‘Radio 1 goes to school’ became one of the most discussed and most listened-to Radio 1 broadcasts ever. Recorded results: - +220,000 shares - + 40,000,.000 people reached - + 10% Facebook fans within one week Or how one single peanut can induce a lot.

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

To do this, we created a challenge based on a scientific test for animals from the Max Planck Institute for Anthropology. Immediately the discussion took off. Even the Education Minister got involved.
