The Campaign

In order to engage the target audience and establish the notion that the product fits perfectly no matter how or where you run, we built a unique website where users literally need to run in order to scroll the page. All along the "length" of this site, we placed dozens of pairs of Alphabounce sneakers, so that anyone could get a pair for free if they reached them first.

Campaign Success

A unique website where users literally need to run in order to scroll the page. All along the "length" of this site, we placed one hundred pairs of Alphabounce sneakers, so that anyone could get a pair for free if they reached them first.

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

Thousands of people from all over the Russia were actually running on our track for 14 days. 106 000 unique users covered 30 000 000 meters total distance in pursuit for the new Alphabounce sneakers.

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

Imagine a running track where dozens of pairs of sneakers placed all over the distance and the only thing is you need to do is to be the first one who reaches the sneakers to get them for free. Sounds like an event, right? No, if this running track placed on the unique website, that can be scrolled only if you are running.

The strategy was to engage the target audience and establish the notion that the product fits perfectly no matter how or where they run.
