Case Study: Blackmores: Well Bot

Introducing the Blackmores Well Bot

AI chatbot kickstarts conversations about health at the Australian Open.

In an effort to activate their brand presence at the Australian Open, we partnered with Blackmores to create the Well Bot, an interactive AI chatbot designed to kick-start conversations about health.

Along with digital engagement with the WellBot, the activation at the Australia Open also included product tasting and roaming brand ambassadors to hand out samples.

The experience

10 digital interactive screens were branded to look like a giant version of the Blackmores Well Bots. The activation was set up over a 14-day event.

Our bespoke software solution was fully customizable including multiple choice questions that also collected key points of data from the customers. The data allowed for the AI integrated Well Bot to cleverly dispense the right sample for that customer.

The Well Bot was integrated into across the entire activity and was the central call to action.

A simple data capture mechanic meant every interaction was followed us with an SMS encouraging further interaction with the Well-Bot.

Case Study: Ice Break Iced Mocha

Ice Break Iced Mocha: Contactless Sampling

Ice Break safely gets their samples back in the hands of consumers.

Ice Break deployed contactless sampling vending machines in premium asset shopping centres in Melbourne, Sydney & Brisbane.  

Starting as a pilot, we have now rolled this activation out into 25+ centres with more to come soon!

The experience

Contactless Sampling Stations were deployed in high thoroughfare in premium asset shopping centres along the eastern seaboard states.

Each station featured a 360-degree branded set which included 2 vending kiosks each with 42” digital panel which displayed brand content and engagement instruction 24/7.

Standing in front of the Kiosks, users were encouraged to scan the QR code which appeared on the screen.  This then launched an interactive brand experience that the user controlled via their mobile phone. 

Only after the engagement was complete, the vending kiosks dispensed the sample.

BA’s for roaming sampling were also used at key times.

Case Study: Cadbury; Choc, Paper, Scissors

Cadbury, Share the Taste

Choc, paper, scissors

In collaboration with Cadbury, we created a digital kiosk experience connecting sites around Australia for a game of virtual Choc, Paper and Scissors.

The experience

As part of the Cadbury Share the Taste campaign, digital sampling kiosks featuring 42” interactive screens were deployed at Federation Square, Circular Quay, Murray Street Mall and Cavill Avenue.  Each Kiosk live streamed and linked you to a kiosk located in another Australian city.

Visitors to the activations were encouraged to play a virtual game of Choc, Paper, Scissors with a player located at another state via networked screens. You never knew who you would play!

Cadbury also gave away 50,000 blocks of Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate to help create this movement of true connection between Australians.

Case Study: Nissan Fast 5

Nissan Fast Five

Nissan Intelligent Around View Challenge.

We were asked to design an immersive digital activation to educate Fast5 fans about Nissan Intelligent Mobility (NIM) and position NISSAN as an exciting brand.  The experience had to clearly link netball with NIM and build awareness for Nissan as a major partner of netball Australia.

The experience

User were asked to stand in the middle of three large touchscreens. Using their peripheral vision they had to try to tap as many netballs as possible within 30 seconds.

Balls got progressively faster and harder to tap as the game went on. 

A running Leader board was displayed, with scores collected across a 2-day event.

The winner was announced in stadium, receiving a signed Fast5 playing dress. The activation was promoted on the big screen and also in-broadcast.

Case Study: AO Kia Stinger Challenge

Australian Open: Kia Stinger Challenge

Category: Gamification

In partnership with Kia, we created an immersive digital gaming experience using touch screen technology.

The campaign included an activation inviting participants to play a game of ‘catch the serve’ against the Spaniard tennis sensation Rafael Nadal.

Affinity Outdoor: Australian Open: Kia Stinger Challenge

The experience

We built an avatar of Rafael Nadal who challenges the user to catch his serve, in order to collect a prize.  Just touch the screen to catch the ball!

Sounds simple? It’s wasn’t! His serves come fast and increases in speed and frequency throughout the game. To win, the user must not drop more than five balls in 45 seconds. For a layer of added gaming complexity, every time the user drops a ball, the screen cracks, making visibility increasingly difficult

Case Study: AIA Super Steps

AIA Vitality presents: Super Steps

Make each step count with AIA Vitality’s Super Steps activation

AIA Vitality is a science-backed health and wellbeing program that rewards you for your healthy choices.  Rather than doing ‘all or nothing’, AIA believes in the power of an ‘All or Something’ approach to health.

Supporting this key message, we tasked with creating an interactive brand activation game that would support, celebrate and reward delegates that moved the most!

The experience

Taking inspiration from retro gaming arcades, we created a bespoke 1v1 game whereby delegates must step or jump on as many moving balls as possible in 30 seconds.  Each time they stepped on a ball, it exploded into a burst of colour and a point was scored.   Win or lose, participants scores were added to their daily step count, which in turn increased their chance to take out the top place in the AIA Super Steps challenge and win a grand prize.

In addition to the game, we developed a custom delegate data entry form, a secure admin portal with hosted database and networked the leaderboard for a complete digital solution.
