The Campaign

How can you thrill a movie audience waiting to see the latest blockbuster full of high definition, crystal clear images? With technology that belongs in a museum. And a totally unexpected brand experience.

Creative Execution

2 minutes of white screen were placed in the middle of the commercial break in an Austrian cinema. At the end of the previous commercial, a lively caretaker stepped into the theatre, pushing a unrecognizable device in front of the movie screen, plugged in a wire and turned on the device, which now became recognizable: an overhead projector from back in time at primary school, projected on a small area in the middle of gigantic movie screen. And the idea was revealed: State-of-the-art technology. Of yesterday.

As part of a multi-channel campaign the installation attracted passers-by at 4 different locations in Vienna's city centre. Overall result to date: 80.000 visitors since december 2015 +12 % in season ticket sales

A totally unexpected live brand experience was brought to an audience at cinemas.

The key insight for a museum of technology has been translated into an unique and simple media placement, with the help of outdated technology.
