‍The Winning Campaigns:

‍Silver Award: XGD Media - Snapask (DSE Countdown) 🥈

Bronze Award: XGD Media - Kronenbourg1664 Blanc (New Year Countdown) 🥉

Snapask – (DSE Countdown)

In order to stand out from the clutter of billboards in Causeway Bay, Snapask required a dynamic and distinctive campaign creative to continuously engage the over 6million monthly pedestrians at XGD Media’s LFR@Causeway Bay billboard. To achieve Snapask’s creative strategy, XGD Media proposed a “DSE Countdown” creative that would automatically create new content on a daily basis, showing the number of days remaining until the DSE Examination Day. The countdown successfully created a sense of time urgency for students and parents to immediately work hard to achieve great examination results.

‍Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc – (New Year Countdown)

Kronenbourg1664 Blanc aimed to accelerate brand awareness during the Christmas and New Year festivities. To achieve Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc’s objectives, XGD Media coded a fully automated special purpose built-in program that would not only automatically alternate between different client’s creatives but also display a New Year’s countdown timer (programmed to the world clock to ensure millisecond accuracy).  To amplify the campaign’s impact, XGD Media included a static solid sticker extension, successfully increasing the original billboard size by over 200%.

For this campaign, XGD Media utilized an innovative feature by live-streaming user-generated content (UGC) shared on @discoverhong social media to their billboard.

The result was a deeply engaging campaign that successfully increased engagement via the #discoverhongkong hashtag and simultaneously display Hong Kong Tourism Board’s own promotional content.

Online to Offline Connectivity - Net-a-Porter

The first of its kind, XGD Media and Net-a-Porter created a fully automated billboard connected directly to the Net-a-Porter ecommerce store.
