Describe the brief/objective of the direct campaign.

Business Objective: To raise awareness, and drive sales of the new Dell Vostro V130 business laptop.



Campaign Objective: To communicate both the style and performance of the V130.



Target Audience: Style conscious, small-to-medium business owners and employees, comprising of existing Dell customers and new customers.



Strategy: A portable laptop is literally (and figuratively) an extension of you; it reflects the way you work. The Vostro V130 is designed to help you look professional, perform better, and above all, succeed.



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

The Vostro V130 is designed to “work beautifully” – so you can too. With this laptop you can walk the walk, talk the talk, and (last but not least) look the look. The consumer response to the campaign exceeded expectations, with double the industry-average score for banner click-through-rates, and prolonged engagement times recorded for the WorkBeautifully.com website. The greater desired outcome was also achieved: to significantly elevate the Dell brand amongst consumers.



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

Each execution explained a relevant user benefit; a compelling way to enhance your professional image and appearance (better posture, cooler lap, fewer typos, etc). This idea was dramatized by combining each exquisite product feature with the language of beauty in order to communicate the perfect marriage of form (beauty) and function (work).



Work Beautifully is not just a theme line – it’s a philosophy. It says to the world, “Sure, ugly works. But beautiful works better.” A fresh, unique way to promote a practical business laptop; doing justice to this award-winning machine, and echoing Dell’s tagline, “The power to do more.”



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.

Banners: 100% increase in click-through-rate (compared to industry average)
