Describe the campaign/entry
BRAND BACKGROUND
361 is one of China’s 3rd largest sportswear brands specializes in footwear, apparel and accessories.
CHALLENGE
Just like the rest of the world, China loves the World Cup more than any other sporting event. But this year there was one major problem: Time zones. The final match of the evening was broadcast at 2:30 am in China. By the time the match is ended, it’s almost time for work again. Millions of fans would either struggle to drag themselves back to the office, take sick leave or miss the matches.
361 wanted to give these dedicated fans the one thing they would need most. More sleep.
IDEA We delayed the workday. We proposed that companies begin working 1, 2 or 3 hours later than usual and stay the same number of hours at end of the day.
Describe how the campaign/entry was launched across each channel in the order of implementation
We used RenRen - China's largest social media site to influence colleagues into petitioning the boss. Our application empowered employees to rally together and send petitions to delay the workday.
HR DEPARTMENT: Petitions were sent to the HR department.
BOSS: Finally, the boss received the collection and felt the pressure to delay the workday.
Give some idea of how successful this campaign/entry was with both client and consumer
7,211,075 petitions were sent Covered by CCTV, Sports Illustrated and other major news networks Covered by over 540,000 blogs 4,102,954 people had their workday delayed 12,508 global and local companies participated in the project Generated US $5.7 million worth of free media coverage and "DELAY THE WORKDAY" became a popular online saying.
