Describe the brief/objective of the direct campaign.

Advertising to the masses is getting harder and harder each day. But the Malaysian 4As council wanted to engage and get creatives excited again about entering the 2010 Malaysian Advertising Awards. Our task was to challenge a bunch of very cynical types to buy into our idea in an engaging, fun and relevant way.



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

Using ‘neuromarketing’ and Augmented Reality Technology, we re-packaged the typical award show call-for-entry kit; usually in a poster and website format; to a state-of-the-art personal brain scanner that teleports Malaysian creative hotshots into the heads of our creatives for an analysis of their brain matter on the website.



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

As the 2010 Malaysian Advertising Awards (as well as every award show on the planet) was all about pushing the envelope, we decided to lead by example. The one-on-one sessions with our panel of creative hotshots also managed to get us into the minds of our creatives literally as well as engage with them on a more personal level.



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.
