The Campaign
Humanity has been always sending rovers to explore unknown planets. For 75% of Russians the real undiscovered planet is our own. To inspire people to explore places they have never visited before, S7 Airlines created EARTH7 – the space rover destined for Earth.
Revealed at a public event in Moscow, EARTH7 created a portal from Moscow to the world.
Combining cutting-edge technology with simple gesture control, users could maneuver the unique rover and explore the remote secret location thousands of miles away where the rover was situated. Seated in front of a huge screen transmitting a live stream from EARTH7’s location, participants were able to remote control the 75kg aluminum machine with just a flick of the wrist. The connection was made using custom built 5,000KM high-speed data channel and kinetic EMG armband.
Each participant driving the rover had the opportunity to win return tickets to any S7 destination worldwide.
Creative Execution
EARTH7 aimed to inspire all Russians to travel, however the core target were people 30+ who have never flown before.
EARTH7 was the interactive activation at the heart of ‘The Best Planet’ – an integrated campaign including film, print, OOH, radio and digital activations. It was revealed at an event in Moscow two months following the campaign’s launch.
During this interactive gaming experience, participants driving the rover had the opportunity to win tickets for two to any S7 destination worldwide, if they could collect three samples of life on Earth. From jamón to kite-surfing, over 50 samples were rendered on top of the rover’s live video stream in a dynamically generated gaming interface. Each representative of a destination that S7 flies too, these samples of life served as a reminder that from famous attractions to experiences, there are so many amazing things to discover when we travel.
The EARTH7 activation succeeded in not only putting the wonder back into travel, but drove fame and sales for S7 Airlines:
123% sales increase via S7’s website
70% increase in visits to s7.ru
32% increase in brand awareness
5M+ organic film views across S7’s owned brand and social channels
