Describe the objective of the promotion.

Sprite sparks fresh thinking. As Sprite was hitting the market with a new, reformulated Sprite, we wanted to follow up with an equal fresh sampling promotion.

We knew that most of our target group (teens, 15-18 years old) lived at home and had a strained relationship - especially with their mothers. This sparked the core creative idea:

Sprite is so good - you would sell your mother to get it.



Describe how the promotion developed from concept to implementation

With the Core Creative Idea in place we started activating the campaign. We used a mix of branded, non-branded media and buzz to drive traffic to the one and only place where you can sell your old, dusty mother and get a new and refreshing Sprite - Sellyourmother.dk



Describe the success of the promotion with both client and consumer including some quantifiable results

Within the first two weeks the campaign website had more than 186.000 visitors. More than 220.000 votes had been cast on the 1.800+ moms that had been put for sale.

The website alone had generated over 7.000 samples of new, reformulated Sprite, making it the best danish Sprite promotion ever - and that was only halfway through the campaign.



Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service

Sprite is all about refreshing body and mind. The fresh thinking campaign urges the consumers to think in new and exciting ways. So obviously Sprite had to do so itself.

With the insight that teens and mothers are not always on best speaking terms. Our campagin not only talked straight into the 'everyday experience' of the target group, but also gave teens and mothers a common project and reason to coorperate. The owner of the winning mother got a Mac - and the mother a nice, relaxing SPA.
