The brief: 

Drive active preference for Windows 7 amongst UK students, deliver social media engagement and strengthen Windows’ long-term digital community.

Our response: 

Integrated student campaign championing the great entertainment product features of Windows 7.

The details: 

Working with Neon we developed Access All Areas, a platform that offered students the opportunity to win great entertainment experiences for them and their mates.

For students, likely the most digital savvy of all audiences, we needed to create a digital campaign that would communicate on their terms. 

The Access All Areas platform achieved just this and additionally created stronger foundations for Windows’ long-term digital community.

The lowdown: 

Developed a Campaign Platform, Brand Identity and Social Media Assets as foundations for long-term activity.

Targeted blogger engagement to build the group at launch.

The highlights: 
  • All targets achieved & positive sentiment for Windows 7 increased 
  • Successful recruitment of student tastemakers
  • Over 5,000 people signed up to the community in first 3 months
  • Foundations for a long-term community in place
