The Campaign

The creative idea behind the Beck’s CAPCAM is based on the insight that even though our lives happen in 360°, our smartphone videos don’t. They never capture the whole story but rather small pieces of it. We wanted to offer a solution to solve this problem and invite people to capture more of their exciting Beck’s experiences to share these moments with even more people. The CAPCAM is part of a special edition that delivers both, an engaging gadget that is easy to use and fun to interact with and at the same time, due to its innovative technology, offers a piece of shareable content. All that in the spirit of Beck’s: Just like the brand brings people together in our lives, they now do it in our videos. With a 360° angle that manages to capture everything around us instead of just small pieces.

Creative Execution

The CAPCAM is part of a special edition that combines innovative technology and strategic brand approaches in one simple design element. The goal was to design the device in a way that is useful and at the same time in style with the product itself. Functionality needed to be assured as well as a smart way to attach it to the product. To tick all these boxes, we created a magnetic layer that kept the CAPCAM on the metal cap of the bottle and protected the lens of the device. As soon as this layer was removed, the CAPCAM was ready to go. The material guarantees high stability values and low weight. The design of the CAPCAM allows to store the mirrors that extend the smartphone lens to a 360° angle and at the same time limits the size of the device to a handy format that still allows branding.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

The CAPCAM is strongly attached to the brands’ spirit of living in the moment and sharing fun experiences with your friends. It proves once more that Beck’s is an engaging brand that is always looking for new ways to bring people together. In our lives as well as in our videos. The consumer gets an innovative tool that comes with a clear benefit and offers them a new way of capturing the fun moments in their lives. They are finally able to capture the most exciting moments the way they really are - in 360°. Since the CAPCAM was part of an online raffle, we recorded significant amounts of social media activity throughout the brands’ web presence and highly positive feedback.

Since Beck’s is an engaging, socializing brand that always brought people together in our lives it is strongly relevant to create a gadget that invites people to celebrate these moments even more. The choice of creating a technical device to use with a smartphone is based on the pursuit of creating user generated social media content. The CAPCAM is easy to use, fun to interact with, an attractive incentive for people to take part in an online raffle and creates lots of unique social media content. The CAPCAM focuses on a target group of open minded and highly socialised individuals who are always interested in new technology and social media content. The approach was to give them a device that they can use to show and share the moments that are strongly attached to the product.
