Describe the brief/objective of the direct campaign.

Most students no longer write. They text. They tweet. They download school courses on their computer. The actual number of pens in their school bag diminishes daily.



Our objective was to win them back and to become their favorite brand of pen at school.



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

The creative solution : we sent SMS to students ( at least we’ll be sure they’ll read them ) with famous quotations from Shakespeare, Thoreau, Tagore, Tennnyson, written as an SMS, with abbreviations, symbols and signs.

After the quotation, a message appeared: some texts deserve better than a text. By replying with the word « pen », students could win a Pilot.



We expected at least 11 % answers on these SMS.



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

By using SMS (one of their favorite tool of expression ) we were sure to catch students. By using humour, we were sure not to sound like one of those « old boring teachers » telling them what they have to do.



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.
