Describe the brief/objective of the direct campaign.

The 'In an absolut world' - campaign describes a world that is as perfect as Absolut vodka. In autumn 2009 Absolut wanted to start a conversation with the urban creative scene about the Absolut world, based on the brands art tradition.



Explain why the creative execution was relevant to the product or service.



The Execution had a strong focus on the brand without ever losing sight of its secondary goal: increasing sales. The art savvy audience was invited via free cards and received extensive background information via mobile content directly at the exhibition sites. Additional information, a tour plan and the complete audio guide were also available on the website.



Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective with reference to the projected response rates and desired outcome.

Abslout created the first exhibition that turned an entire city into a museum. At a size of up to 240m², the works of photographer Danny Clinch were shown on mega posters, portraying the band Wolfmother and the pure Rock and Roll life. Free cards in bars showed the locations of the exhibiton. For more information people could download an audio guide via mobile directly at the exhibition sites. Further information, tour plans and the audio guide were also available on the website.



Describe the results in as much detail as possible with particular reference to the RESPONSE of the target audience including deliverability statistics, response rates, click throughs, sales cost per response, relationships built and overall return on investment.

The 200,000 Rock Bottles were already sold out after a few week and tens of thousands of 'exhibition visitors', 1,554 audio guide downloads and numerous press articles also bear witness to the success of the world’s largest photo exhibition.
