Koo Strawberry Jam.

What goes great with bread? Koo Strawberry Jam. They needed to find a new way to communicate this to consumers at point-of-purchase. Research identified that consumers are most likely to buy a spread for their bread when they are in-store. They touch the fresh, soft bread and imagine how good it’s going to taste with loads of butter and jam. They brought that thought to life by using the bread tag that was previously colourless and boring. By turning it into a slice of bread, spread thick with Koo Strawberry Jam, and adding the Koo brand logo on the back. Consumers were prompted to make their jam purchase there and then. They also took their bread tags home with them, which served as a further reminder of of Koo Jams.

To exemplify this idea, heavy books like Yellow pages were chosen for this activity.

Bridgestone "Tyre Swing"

Bridgestone wanted to herald the production of their 35 millionth tyre and talk about the success of the factory and its commitment to New Zealand. Rather than focusing on the massive contribution to industry and employment that this milestone signalled, They instead decided to highlight the special place that tyres have in New Zealanders' memories and lives. Pretty much everyone in New Zealand has a fond recollection of swinging on a tyre swing, strung up in a field. To announce that the Firestone factory in New Zealand had manufactured its 35 millionth tyre, they sent out a 'limited edition' tyre swing to 40 editors, radio DJs and other media types who generally have plenty of other things to talk about than the success of Firestone and their 35 million tyres.

Bloody Coasters (for Mumbai Traffic Police) were printed using a special invisible red ink, wich spreads only when moistened. They were placed at tables and bar counters in Mumbai’s prominent bars and watering holes. When a customer places his frosted, moist glass of alchohol on it, the red ink starts spreading; and the normal face starts bleeding. Alongside, the message reads: Just a reminder: Drunken driving kills.
