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.

Campaign Success

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. 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. To maximize reach, the content was promoted in YouTube's first ever 360° video masthead and promoted within the YouTube app.

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

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.

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

The idea for this work was rooted in creating an immersive and quality brand experience that would make Jaguar's sponsorship of Wimbledon famous amongst tennis fans and leverage its endorsement of tennis star, Andy Murray. A combination of experiential activity, ambient media, virtual reality technology, brand ambassadors and media partners were brought together to deliver an premium and innovative activation of the sponsorship, that transported tennis fans into another world and enabled them to feel the intense emotion of Wimbledon, wherever they were.

Not only are Jaguar's primary target audience of 35-55 ABC1 men big technology enthusiasts and heavy mobile users, but they are incredibly time poor, so we needed to find an opportunity in their busy day when we could get them to participate in our branded experience without asking them to do too much, or change their routine. Our approach was to use mobile technology to create a quick yet impactful and immersive brand experience, in a moment where we knew they would have dwell time - waiting for their train home. So at London Waterloo (London's busiest train station) we created a branded experience where we would tap into this dwell time and bring Wimbledon to commuters, through virtual reality. For thousands of commuters, we would enable them to Feel Wimbledon, all within the 12 minutes they were waiting for their train.
