Brief Explanation

As part of an innovations strategy, we reinvented one of the oldest means of communication for one of the most innovative telecommunications providers: The telephone greeting card, which provides extra-special congratulations. Thanks to social media, sending greetings is now easier than ever ? but it’s also impersonal However, as soon as the recipient opens the O2 telephone greeting card, they’re personally connected to the sender. The O2 greeting card first appeared at a time at which greeting cards abound: Christmas. It not only raises awareness, it’s also a patent-pending innovation – and a new product and source of turnover for O2.

Results and Effectiveness

Positive comments on Facebook and directly on the campaign microsite, increased awareness among customers and non-customers alike and innovations that set the company apart from other telecommunications providers – the card is a roaring success and the objectives were achieved in full. Numerous technology blogs carried reports on our product innovation. This coverage also led to licence requests from USA, Australia, the Netherlands and India. In this way, one of the oldest means of communication was transformed into an internationally-coveted, patent-pending print innovation.

Creative Execution

The campaign was promoted exclusively on Facebook and appeared on the campaign microsite youcando.o2online.de; no other media were used. It was not necessary to optimise media planning. The user feedback was overwhelming.

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

The target group consists of existing customers and new customers who are seeking inspiration, are interested in innovations and technologies and who are also sociable and communicative. For this reason, the campaign was deliberately promoted on Facebook only
