Why is this work relevant for Creative Data?
Our cities are becoming cultural melting pots. In Finland and especially in Helsinki it means that many do not understand the local language at all. 1 in 6 Helsinki residents do not speak Finnish as their native tongue. Therefore advertising, as it’s always done in Finnish, doesn’t mean anything to many. Prisma Tripla changed this by taking a closer look at the true demographics of its audience and eventually made the townspeople embrace it as a store that truly understands them.
Background
Hypermarket chain Prisma was about to launch their first store in the central Helsinki area where the competition is ruthless and the target audience is very different from other areas in the country. The proportion of foreign-language speakers is growing fast in Finland and especially in the capital of Helsinki with one in six residents representing a foreign nationality. Our challenge was to get the attention of the audience of very diverse backgrounds to shop at the new Prisma and embrace it as their store. Our objective was to successfully launch the new store and bring in a steady flow of clients and sales. Bearing in mind that on the same day the store was going to open, there were two of Prisma’s biggest competitors opening in the same vicinity as well.
Describe the Creative idea / data solution (20% of vote)
Helsinki is the most multicultural city in Finland. The proportion of foreign-language speakers is growing fast in the country but especially in the capital of Helsinki, with one in six residents representing a foreign nationality. Services are adapting to this demographic change with language choices, but advertising still speaks in only one dominant language. Prisma decided to challenge this and welcome people to the new store by speaking to the locals in their own languages.
Describe the data driven strategy (30% of vote)
The audience was clear: all Helsinki residents, especially those living near the new store. As we looked at the locals, we found that in the district of Pasila, where the new store was opening, nearly 30 % of residents don’t speak Finnish as their native language. Though minorities, the immigrant communities are very close and visible and have long been overlooked in advertising. Our strategy was to address these linguistic minorities and show them and native helsinkians that this is a store really meant for every citizen. We set ourselves a challenge to win not only the minds of the city dwellers but also their hearts with the values Prisma stands for: equality and openness.
Describe the creative use of data, or how the data enhanced the creative output (30% of vote)
We decided to reach out to our audience in the most visible way – by utilizing traditional billboards and posters. We collected language data from the store’s surrounding area with block per block accuracy. Based on this data, we translated a welcome invitation to 8 of the most spoken languages in the area: Somali, English, Swedish, Estonian, Russian, Finnish, Spanish and Chinese. The message was the same everywhere: welcome to the store of every citizen. The translated messages we’re targeted across 331 geotagged OOH media placements according to the language most spoken near each media placement. All the ads went up the night before the store’s opening day. As the competitors opening at the same time were luring customers with prices, we used our core values.
List the data driven results (20% of vote)
The campaign resulted in the most successful opening week in the hypermarket’s history. But it also grew into something bigger. Reaching 22 million people, it became a statement for equality, diversity and inclusivity with 94 % of the audience embracing Prisma as a store truly made for them.
