Fiestagram - Creating Brand Engagement with Classic Tactics
Ford Fiesta gave the agency Blue Hive the challenge to not only create attention and raise awareness about the new Fiesta, but also to come across with information about the new USPs, the features and improvements of the car.
The result was a cool engaging campign that utilized consumers’ love and eager to take and share photos. The idea was to partner with the viral photo sharing app Instagram to launch a new photography competition called Fiestagram to promote the new car.
The contest challenged Instagram photo-taking enthusiasts across Europe to upload photos in several categories inspired by the technologies and features of the new car - Participants could as always with Instagram easily share their photos on Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter etc.
Moreover, the best submissions were also appearing on live-billboards and real life photography galleries across Europe. The “feature” categories were: Starting, Hidden, Listening, Entry, Music and Shape and the winners of each are still shared on Ford Fiesta’s Facebook page.
The idea to make a photo contenst is not original in any way - Guess it has been a marketing tactic ever since the camera became a common household item, however the understanding of social and the execution have created results worth sharing.
Nike: Launch of the M8 NYC Flight with Water Project Mapping
To celebrate the launch of Carmelo Anthony’s M8 NYC Flight, W+K New York wanted to showcase Melo’s explosive game in his NYC home as an epic nighttime show on the Hudson River’s Pier 54.
At the event on the 20th October Melo didn’t just hang around with fans and gave autographs. The 2500 fans were surprised with a display of Carmelo’s Jordan sneaker history, an arcade-style basketball game, and the video of Carmelo Anthony projected onto the water!
Nike knows how to impress, create buzz and get people excited about every major launch, but this is among the coolest stunts thus far.

ESPN - Nothing without True Sports Fans
ESPN claims to be the worldwide leader in sports, but what is sports without the world’s most passionate sports fans? - Nothing and that’s why ESPN in this spot show appreciation to the fans.
ESPN recognizes that fans of sport have a 6th sense for sport, can read a game and see things before they happen. True sports fans have a gift and ESPN can help them nurture that beautiful gift.
