VICHY HUIDWISTJEDATJES (April 2010)
 
Client VICHY
Brand Normaderm
Employer NRG3
My activities Strategy, Account- and Projectmanagement
Results

A self-sustaining platform where VICHY generates new content every week - based upon input of consumers.



Summary
VICHY asked us to develop a campaign that 1. increases awareness about Normaderm, 2. shows VICHY's expertise and 3. grows and enriches the database. We developed the concept "HuidWistJeDatjes"(urban legends about the skin) that covers all these aspects.

About the skin and skincare circulate numerous facts and fables. "Eating chocolate may get you pimples, but if you rub toothpaste on them, they disappear." But what is true? What really works? The VICHY skincare specialist collects all urban legens about skin and explains why they are true or false.

Together with UniversalMedia we chose specific places to interact with the targetgroup: on niche weblogs about beauty & health, on SkyRadio (actionpage), and in pre-rolls (commercial with tag on).

In order to engage a wide target audience with the thrill of this game, we created the Need for Speed SHIFT Banner Tour: a series of interactive video banners that allow visitors of five different websites to battle each other in real time 1-on-1 races. To win the tournament, players had to finish all five races on all five websites.

Gigi Ravelli. The creative team did an awesome job and created this online interactive video.

To promote the release of the game, we had Hollands most influential blogs working together for the first time, creating branded content and placing our banners.

Client Coca-Cola
Brand Fanta
Employer NRG3
My activities Strategy, Concepting, Projectmanagement Hyves campaign
Objectives
- Create awareness about the new 0,25cl bottle
- Stay in line with the international "Play On" theme
Results

- High interactionrate (11,2 %) on the banners
- 10.000+ gadgets placed on Hyves
- (Other results can't be disclosed)




Summary
Primary objective of the Fanta Ball Bottle campaign was to create awareness for the new Fanta packaging: the 0.25 cl 'ball' bottle. We created 3 game banners, based on well known classic games which were ‘Fantanized’ featuring the new bottle as an essential item in the game. Each banner contained the entire messaging, there was no need to click through to the promotional website (other than playing the two other games).

On Hyves we placed an actionpage from which people could embed the three games as a gadget on their profiles, or send their friends a short message to inform them about the games. Want to see how it works? Check a screencapture movie of the Hyves campaign here!

Operational marketing rollout


Summary

Alcatel Geel (location in Belgium) assembles electronic circuit boards for a variety of customers. After a management buy-out, Alcatel Geel changed from a small part the multinational Alcatel-Lucent towards a small, independent and commercial electronics company.

I started a NIMA B internship in 2006. The goal was to write an operational marketingplan. After 3 months, I stayed working for the company as we changed from Alcatel to Alcatel-Lucent, and finally to tbp electronics. I had the great opportunity to deal with a wide range of challenges that came with these changes.
