Creative Execution

We modified a digital billboard. The screen showed a live stream of our man from Graubünden on a crystal-clear display thanks to multiple combined 4G LTE mobile cards. He could see and talk to the people in Zurich and vice versa. Using a remote control app on his iPhone, he could print train tickets which came directly out of the billboard. People took the tickets, got on a train to Graubünden and appeared on the billboard themselves once they reached their destination.

30 people took a spontaneous trip to Graubünden 20,000 people saw the promotion live 9,000,000 views on YouTube and Facebook 60 million people became aware of the promotion through the media

The Graubünden tourism board urgently needs more tourists – even though this peaceful place in Switzerland is only two hours away from the bustling centre of Zurich. The idea: A man from Graubünden wearing traditional Alpine garb speaks directly to passers-by via a live billboard at Zurich Main Station. He invites them to take a spontaneous trip to the mountains and gives them free train tickets.
