Brand: NBC/Endemol Entertainment

Company: m-Qube

Objective:
Give viewers of NBC’s game show Deal or No Deal an opportunity to play at home from their couch.

Solution:
Produced by Endemol Entertainment, the international hit game show "Deal or No Deal" came to NBC in a five-night event starting on Monday, December 19th and ending on Friday, December 23rd. Hosted by actor/comedian Howie Mandel in the U.S., "Deal" is a tension-building, high stakes game show with  success in 41 countries.

At the start of each show, viewers were asked to text their ‘Lucky Case’ guess into 59595. Consumers were prompted three times throughout each show to send a text message or go to NBC.com and enter their guess of the winning Lucky Case for that program. In the final segment of the show, the voting was closed and viewers who selected the correct case were entered into an instant drawing for a $10,000 prize. Entries cost $.49 via premium text message or free online at www.nbc.com/DOND/.

m-Qube’s platform was responsible for collecting entries from all SMS and Web votes, selecting the winner from among the correct Lucky Case guesses and confirming the eligibility of the winner. Winner selection and verification process occurred real-time in order to get the winner’s name and hometown on-screen, live at the end of the show.

Results:
The Deal or No Deal iTV program significantly enhanced the excitement of the in-studio game play by allowing consumer to vie for $10,000 at home. Results were very positive. In fact, the program turned out to be the largest cross-carrier iTV SMS program ever in the U.S. Given the show’s success, NBC has ordered additional episodes of the hit game show. m-Qube will again power the mobile component of the show.

§          Kikucall developed an online ringtone interface that was integrated into the www.LHIOB.com website.

§          Kikucall also sent a text message blast to a targeted list of 50,000 opt-in consumers in New York and Los Angeles. The messages contained a link to a Kikucall-developed WAP site where consumers could download the free LHIOB ringtones.

Results:
In the six months following the launch of the campaign, consumers listened to more than 180,600 LHIOB ringtones via the Kikucall web interface, and more than 19,600 LHIOB website visitors requested to download a ringtone.
To deliver the ringtone to consumers, Kikucall sent a text message with a WAP link to download the ringtone to consumer mobile phones. More than 15,500 consumers successfully downloaded the LHIOB ringtones from the Kikucall-designed WAP site.

GoldPocket Wireless Case Study – TV Guide

Programming: Joan & Melissa River’s Red Carpet Oscar Show

Goal: To drive viewer interaction with its Red Carpet show for the Oscars, create an innovative “live” mobile polling campaign, and offer a prize for participation.

Solution:
TV Guide and GoldPocket Wireless created and implemented the standard SMS campaign that allowed viewers a chance to submit their “Red Carpet” views, win a prize and see the results of the poll live on-air within minutes of voting. Throughout the broadcast, multiple questions were asked of the audience, results were tabulated live (through EMConnect’s real-time reporting) and then announced on-air by Melissa Rivers. One question in particular gave participants the opportunity to win a "Joan & Melissa Rivers" glider pen. The first 500 viewers to correctly guess the number of carats in Melissa Rivers' "million dollar microphone" could claim the free pen. In order to have the pen mailed to them, winners were driven back to the TV Guide Channel web-site, where they entered in their full mailing address and contact information. 

Technology:
GoldPocket Wireless provided all the technical aspects of the promotion including direct carrier connections and billing integrations, standard SMS, real-time reporting and customer service, and web registration support.

Results:
TV Guide reached not only their participation goals for the campaign but managed a 60%+ conversion rate (ie, the number of winners who went to the web-site to enter in their address information) for this campaign.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Case Study:  Enpocket and Panasonic Charge Up Fans at Jason Mraz Concert Tour<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Panasonic has achieved some astounding response rates with its recent in-concert text-to-win competition.  What better medium than the mobile for targeting a tech-savvy youth market…..

Objective:
Panasonic wanted to target the digital generation when launching its new state-of-the-art Oxyride battery, designed for digital cameras.  To reach college aged consumers throughout the US, Panasonic sponsored the Jason Mraz concert series in fifteen different venues during October and November. 

Overview:
Concert attendees were invited to text the word “POWER” to 69973 (OXYRD) for a chance to win a Panasonic prize package including a digital camera, batteries, and more.  The text-to-win promotion was advertised in each venue on signage, announcements, and flyers.  During 12 of the events, participants received an entry confirmation via text and an opportunity to opt in to future Panasonic mobile promotions.

Results:
The response rates to the Oxyride mobile campaign were as high as 14%.  On average, 6% of concert attendees responded to the call to action.  The high response rates from this campaign are illustrative of the power of the mobile channel for connecting with audiences. 

Panasonic found that the interactive nature of the mobile campaign during the concert was a potent enhancement to the concert sponsorship and an excellent way to reinforce the Oxyride brand.

“We have been very pleased by the response rates to the Oxyride mobile campaign,” said Stefanie Old from Renegade Marketing, Panasonic’s marketing agency.  “Based on the results, we will consider mobile marketing as a component of our future integrated marketing campaigns.”

Mobile Marketing Case Study – Ferrero “Shrek 2 Handy Specials” (12 Snap)<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Brand:            Ferrero

Campaign:     Shrek 2 Handy Specials

Goals:

The first branded mobile game:  Shrek and Donkey live in your phone.

Design a very effective and efficient on-pack promotion that drives sales of hanuta and duplo but still is innovative. Use the rights of DreamWorks Shrek 2. Target audience are kids, teenagers and young adults. Targeted country is <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Germany. No sweepstakes are allowed due to legal reasons, just “add-on/every-ones a winner” mechanics.

Solution:

The Idea: The promotion should promote itself.

To make that possible, two very exciting games for mobile phones, featuring Shrek and Donkey were originally developed for Ferrero’d hanuta and duplo brands.  1 SMS message with a code in the packages was enough to download the FIRST part of each game.  To continue playing the next game levels, Shrek reminded the consumers to text in another code.  This drove consumption, and yet excited the consumers.

In addition a mobile “picture collection album” – featured by Donkey - could be installed, “reminding” the customer what he is still missing whenever he entered.

Results:

It was the best response rate for a FMCG product on-pack. The self-promotion mechanism kept the people coming back. Donkey and Shrek “lived” on the phone with every part of entertainment and promoted the promotion in a very personal way.

Nearly 10% participated in total. More than 50% participated more than once, which means they bought at least one more multi-pack.  It was rated by Ferrero as one of the most effective promotions in terms of sales and brand image.
