The Brief

The competition from foreign betting companies is getting harder and more aggressive everyday: Poker, free spins, 'first bet for free' and so on. Norsk Tipping wanted an activity that reminded Norwegians of the dream of winning the lottery. To bring out the good memories and associations they have to Norsk Tipping.

Campaign Success

The dream of winning the lottery is part of every Norwegian. Getting 'Telephone from Hamar' means you've won. To every Norwegian. The iconic Phone Booth also has a special place in Norwegian hearts. The remaining protected booths are spread all over the country. Perfect venues to take the campaign from the web and into real life. One could argue that anythings easy with a money prize, but money prizes are what the lottery is all about. It's relevant (and the effect of the prize of € 100.000 could never be matched in media spending).
