The Campaign

Nothing compares to the feeling of being sat inside Centre Court. It is an intense and intimate melting pot of tradition, adrenalin and drama that gives visitors each summer a unique and sensory experience unlike any other Grand Slam. But as a relatively exclusive event tucked away in a corner of London, not everyone gets to feel its energy. What if we could enable tennis fans everywhere to feel the intense emotion of being inside Wimbledon, even if they couldn’t be there? Our idea was to create an immersive VR experience that would give tennis fans a exclusive insight into the unique emotions created by Wimbledon. How? By transporting them inside the mind of someone who feels it most intensely - the nation's hero and world number two, Andy Murray.

Creative Execution

Using cutting edge technology, we created a 3 minute VR experience that took fans on a virtual, exhilarating journey beginning high above the grounds before swooping them into Centre Court for a totally new perspective of a Wimbledon final, featuring Andy himself. To connect people to the content, we distributed it across a range of paid and owned mobile led channels - At London Waterloo station, we created a Jaguar Feel Wimbledon experience zone where fans could enjoy the full VR experience through Oculus Rift headsets. The activation was live for the full Wimbledon fortnight and was designed to create a quality level of brand engagement. This was also available in 104 Jaguar retailers nationally. We created 20,000, premium Feel Wimbledon branded Google Cardboard sets so people could enjoy the immersive experience via their own mobiles. These were distributed at Waterloo station, in Jaguar retailers and in the Wimbledon queue itself. Finally, to maximize reach, the content was promoted in YouTube's first ever 360° video masthead, promoted within the YouTube app, across social media and throughout Jaguar’s owned digital channels.

The content received over 2 million views on YouTube during Wimbledon fortnight, the most viewed content ever produced by Jaguar. Over 10,000 people enjoyed the full virtual reality experience in our bespoke experiential zone, spending on average 12 minutes with the brand. The campaign drove an additional 41,000 visits to the Jaguar website. 77% of those who engaged with the campaign felt that Jaguar was a brand relevant to their lifestyles (versus a relevance score of 20% amongst who didn't engage with the campaign) and 80% felt Jaguar was an exciting and innovative brand. And with 69% of those who engaged with the campaign agreeing they would consider Jaguar for their next vehicle purchase, we had successfully excited the senses and put Jaguar back on the radar of a premium, car buying conquest audience.

Our strategy was built around using mobile technology to create a meaningful and memorable brand experience. Not only are Jaguar's primary target audience of 35-55 ABC1 men big technology enthusiasts and heavy mobile users, but using technology to engage this audience is also key to driving reappraisal for Jaguar as a more modern and innovative brand (and shaking off it's image as an outdated brand for older drivers.) To give this busy, time poor audience the opportunity to 'Feel Wimbledon' wherever they were, our approach was to make the content as accessible as possible, to as many people as possible. We made the YouTube app the primary destination for the content, available in both standard 360° video mode and also cardboard mode for those with cardboard.
