The Campaign
To remind everyone of this dream we revealed the number of the legendary phone, and turned it all upside down. Instead of waiting for the winning call, they could now place the call themselves. The lines were open for 9 days, and you could place a call at any time. If someone picked up you won a prize, big or small. Everyone was hunting for the grand prize; one million norwegian kroner!
Campaign Success
We live broadcasted the phone, located at the National Lottery headquarters. The live broadcast could be viewed at the campaign website, billboards, and metro stations - places where people are waiting and killing time on their phones, so they just might place a call to Hamar. On the campaign website you could also see all incoming calls from all over Norway.
With just a click you could call the phone directly from mobile banners placed in Norway's biggest newspaper.
With over 700 digital screens from northern norway all the way to the south broadcasting live from Hamar, Norsk Tipping was receiving calls from all over the country.
Describe the success of the promotion with both client and consumer including some quantifiable results
- 25,9 millions calls in 9 days. Population: 5 millions
- 185 calls per second at the most intense.
- Probably the first time so many people have called the same number within a given time-frame.
- Organic Facebook reach: 71 % of the population
- 29 000 hours streamed live broadcasting.
Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service
The Norwegian Lottery is selling the dream of becoming a millionaire. With this campaign people were no longer sitting still and waiting for the winning call, now they could place the call themselves, taking an active part in the campaign.
We wanted to make people feel that they could win at any given moment. With just a mobile in their hands they could pick up their phone whenever they felt like it and place a call. Who dares not to call if their intuition, good luck or karma kicks in?
Our target audience was young people aged between 18 and 40. With the target audience always having a phone in their hands we wanted to take use of that, and make it our advantage.
