Mobile case study: Adidas “Light You Up” campaign
Adidas ran this mobile campaign to promote its latest football boots. Mullen’s mediahub worked with Millennial Media to target users across multiple mobile platforms, inviting them to the Adidas’ “Light You Up” promotional light show. To cap off the event, footballer Lionel Messi joined everyone at New York City’s Penn Station. This is a great example of how location based targeting can be used with mobile video to reach local users with relative and time sensitive messages in order to drive foot traffic to an event. Banner ads engaged nearby users to click through to the landing page to see event information.

Case study: Adidas Impossible Is Nothing | Agency: Netthink ES | Technology: MediaMind | Sector: Retail | Objectives: Engagement, brand positioning | Format: Rich media & microsite
There’s an interesting technique for engagement here. The square advert on the right hand side opens up and gives the viewer a pen. A brand character then runs along the line that’s automatically drawn. It’s an engaging way of drawing the viewer in and delivering a clear payback. The ‘Impossible is nothing’ message resonates and has more compulsion given that the viewer is bound to be sitting at a PC screen.
