Creative Execution

Online banners teased and streamed the three 2-minute races live from the specificially built race arena, during prime time, with 5 minutes of enjoyable coverage prior to and after the race. The whole broadcast was hosted by a famous German sports commentator and included star portraits, press conferences and behind the scenes material of the bunnies. The live sports event and tons of additional content could be viewed throughout any tablet/smartphone device on the go.

approx. 400.000 online viewers. + 250 Mio. overall campaign net reach. +18.2% customer increase. +250% interaction and +40% more followers on facebook. + 208% more followers on Twitter. - #OsterhasenRasen generated roundabout 6.3 mio. twitter impressions.

Media Markt is the biggest electronic retailer in Germany, famous for it's loud, humourus and wacky campaigns. In the move of developing more content driven campaigns, Media Markt always seeks for advertising that playfully involves customers online and offline and is enjoyable to watch and share. The brief contained a rather dull Easter related 5% discount promotion that we raised to a revolutinary, content-driven live marketing event, broadcasted as a livestream on several online banners on high-traffic websites, on Youtube's homepage and (only the 2 minute race) on the 9 biggest private German TV stations. The idea: A live sports event, where 10 bunnies were competing in a race. Customers, who shopped at Media Markt prior to the three broadcasted races could win back 50% of their money, if the bunny's racing number matched the number on their receipt.
