Serviceplan Suisse and Mini Switzerland let the Watson community battle it out
For the launch of the new models, Mini worked with Serviceplan Suisse to develop an out-of-the-box idea in which fans of the brand compete in a digital love duel. Cooperation partner Watson provided its interactive voting mechanism for this.
Serviceplan Suisse was commissioned to communicate the launch of new Mini models and bring the new brand positioning "#BigLove: We're different, but pretty good together" to life. In addition to the comprehensive campaign, the client and agency jointly developed an unconventional idea to get the Mini Convertible fully noticed in time for the start of summer. To win the Mini Cabrio for one summer, they had to demonstrate their love for the new vehicle and show how far they would go to express that love.
In the Mini Big Love Challenge on the news portal Watson 142 challengers competed against each other in several duels. The 100,000 readers of the promotion decided with their clicks whose proof of love was finally worthy of being rewarded with the Mini Cabrio.
The winner of the summer in the Mini Convertible was Alexandra from Richterswil, who devotedly baked muffins in the special Mini Convertible color "Zesty Yellow" and donated them to the Gassencafé Sunestube. Alexandra's plans for the new Mini Convertible also go straight to her heart: she plans to spend an extended honeymoon in it.
The promotion was advertised on Mini's social media channels, Watson and Mini dealers, on Mini's website and on the promotions page of Watson.
