The Brief

OBJECTIVE: Promote Sky Go – the only subscription based mobile app with exclusive live football content in Germany. CHALLENGE: To promote a product which is at the same time very exclusive but whose value can also only be experienced by one self is challenging. STRATEGY: We approached potential consumers when they were on the go and targeted their most basic human instinct: Curiosity.

Campaign Success

We broadcast the Sky exclusive Champions League top match Real Madrid versus Schalke 04 live to public digital OoH screens all over Germany. But: Encoded with the first ever real time adaptive QR code. This innovative technology was developed especially for Sky. It let’s you see the live content – but only rudimentarily. Creating the irresistible urge to see more. Which was easy, with the content as direct channel: A scan of the QR code led to a mobile website simulating the Sky Go product experience: See the match in best quality live on your own smartphone. After 5 minutes, you had to share the promotion with your friends via text message to continue watching.

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

Starting from only 4 screens, we reached 15 Mio. contacts within 90 minutes. 1800% higher interaction rate than standard QR codes. 94% sharing rate after the five minute break. 23% higher sales during and immediately after the match (compared to similar matches before).

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

To promote an exclusive product, we made everyone ultimately curious about it. By showing just a little bit, with the first ever real time adaptive QR code. It turns the content into a channel, delivering the product experience directly to peoples’ devices.
