Results and Effectiveness

Everyone who was in the cinema really embraced the ad and we had full participation every time it played. The results exceeded Sky’s expectations when they received 2701 new sign-ups during the month the ad was playing.



Creative Execution

We created an interactive, voice-activated cinema ad that would engage movie lovers and use the media in a fun new way. We demonstrated exactly what happens when you make The Hulk angry.
It started with the torso of a skinny guy wearing a shirt with the super ‘Yell at the screen to make him angry’.
The louder the crowd yelled the bigger he became. If the crowd stopped yelling he shrunk. After a good deal of yelling his shirt ripped off and he turned became The Hulk.



Insights, Strategy & the Idea

SKY TV were holding the New Zealand television premiere for the movie ‘The Incredible Hulk’.

The client asked us to create a campaign that would increase awareness of the high calibre of movies that they played on Sky and engage new and existing customers by restoring fun to the brand.

Our strategy was to bring the movie to life through a highly engaging piece of creative that the consumers could actually interact with.
