About the Work
Car brands are the second biggest advertisers on TV. So, to launch the new Golf GTI, we did something to make sure people saw ours - we hijacked the entire ad break. We purchased the first ad in prime-time ad breaks and, using a QR code, let people launch an in-browser racing game. For the first time ever we turned the commercial break into an interactive live gaming event. Players raced live against everyone else watching, for the exact length of the ad break. This turned a 30-second ad into a 3-minute brand experience and made sure our ad was the only one people were watching.
