The document describes several marketing campaigns created to promote tourism in New Zealand. One campaign involved a Twitter account where a man dressed as a sheep congratulated people on their adventure posts and encouraged them to visit New Zealand. Another involved an augmented reality game in airport terminals simulating New Zealand extreme sports. A third campaign targeted moviegoers by offering makeup consultations related to a film.

These ads bring the spirit of the campaign to the social sphere
by targeting Facebook users based on their relationship status.
7. NEW ZEALAND
With open landscapes and plenty of water, New Zealand has the best hiking, kayaking, rafting,
skydiving and rock climbing in the world. But only the bravest of vacationers can handle it.

10. SHEEP TWEETS
In New Zealand, there are 9 sheep for
every 1 person, which makes it the perfect
mascot! The sheep witness everything on
these islands and know better than anyone
else what an adventure it can be. This
Twitter campaign congratulates people for
doing adventurous activities. We search for
hashtags relevant to adventure and extreme
sports and respond to the tweets. The reply
tweets will contain a video of Sheeptweets,
a man dressed as a sheep, congratulating
them. The short videos will contain funny
sheep puns/jokes, New Zealand lingo, and
will encourage the person to come to New
Zealand for a real adventure.

11. ADVENTURE SIMULATOR
It wasn’t enough to simply tell people about
the adventures to be had in New Zealand,
we wanted them to experience them too.
That’s why we created the New Zealand
Adventure Simulator. A large screen will
be placed in the international terminals of
different airports. The screen will display
an augmented reality game using motion
sense technology, where participants use
their bodies to play. These short games will
simulate extreme sports one can play in New
Zealand. It’s a fun activity to do while waiting
for a flight. Branded messages on chairs
in the gate waiting areas will encourage
people to get out of their seats and go do
something... play!

15. classic shaving
Classic Shaving is an online shop that specializes in straight-razor shaving supplies. Sounds awesome right? Well maybe if you’re an older gentleman. My job was to attract a younger generation to the craft and convince them that it’s only for the most sophisticated of men.

20. BBC AMERICA
The task was to persuade news junkies that BBC America was the only unbiased, truthful news source. So we cut the bollocks and got right to the point.

22. Tidy Cats
If your house smells like a litter box, expect your
friends to stop showing up.
24. Untidy houses stink. Your excuses shouldn’t.
When your cat-owner friend doesn’t use Tidy Cats, their home might smell less than appealing.
Tidy Excuses generates endless inarguable excuses so you can avoid going to their house forever.

We need time to bond.

I’m working on some new raps.

26. MARY KAY
While many perceive the direct-selling model of Mary Kay to be outdated, we felt that its promise of personalization made it perfect for transitioning Millennial women. So we repositioned it into a new category of makeup: personal cosmetics. Because each customer has her own beauty consultant who tailors to her specific style needs, Mary Kay takes care of its customers in a way that drugstore brands cannot. That’s why Mary Kay is “Beauty To Believe In.”
28. FIRST LOOK
We worked with National CineMedia’s First Look series to grab the target’s attention. Partnering with the movie Pitch Perfect 2, we would offer a character a personal beauty consultation, which would run in cinemas prior to films. After, viewers would be invited to text a number to receive her own consultation. In select cinemas, makeup remover samples would be distributed so the viewers can try the product for themselves and refresh their perspective of the brand.
29. MOBILE MAKEUP BAG
To modernize the beauty consultants, we created the Mobile Makeup Bag App. This allows customers to see when their makeup will run out after inputting which products they use and how often they use them. They can then place an order with their personal consultant through the app, making the repurchase process easier than ever. Consultants can also see the information and make recommendations to customers through the app.
I see you’re almost out of blush. Should I place an order for you?”
“
That sounds great! Thanks so much!”

30. PALETTE
When half a million Mary Kay ladies are creating homemade posters using their 1996 Word programs, it’s safe to say you have an image problem. Palette offers consultants quality promotional materials which they can customize with their own information and print. It offers posters, brochures, social media posts, a hashtag of the week, and more. They can also link their social media accounts to the Palette so the brand can monitor effectiveness and post on their behalf. With Palette, Mary Kay can make messaging consistent across all consultants, giving them one compelling voice, and consultants can better promote their businesses.
