To create awareness about Inlingua Istanbul Language Schools
Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective with reference to the projected response rates and desired outcome.
We wanted to give people this real-life experience of knowing a foreign language. To inform people about the English courses at Inlingua we created the Subtitled Girl. Whatever she spoke in English has immediately showed up on her led screen in Turkish. In a period of one month, the calls Inlingua Istanbul offices received have increased by %350. And the English courses registration has increased by 25%.
