Client
Extra

Introduction

 

ICON Advertising is renowned for crafting impactful and engaging campaigns. This case study delves into their success story with eXtra, a leading electronics retailer in the region. The objective? To elevate eXtra's MEGA Deals campaign and propel it towards viral territory.

 

The Challenge

 

eXtra was gearing up for a massive tech sale – MEGA Deals – offering customers exciting discounts ranging from 10% to 50%. However, standing out in the crowded electronics retail space is no easy feat. To truly capture customer attention and drive sales, they needed a campaign that cut through the noise and generated buzz.

 

ICON's Strategic Approach

 

ICON understood the need for a multi-pronged approach that would pique customer interest, build anticipation, and ultimately, drive sales.

 

1. The Power of Video Content

 

Video holds immense power to engage audiences, evoke emotions, and create a lasting impact. This insight formed the cornerstone of ICON's strategy. They envisioned a series of captivating videos that would unveil the MEGA Deals campaign in a unique and exciting manner.

 

2. Building Anticipation with a Teaser Video

 

The campaign kicked off with a thrilling teaser video. Utilizing CGI (Computer Generated Imagery), the video showcased a variety of electronic items shrouded in a mysterious red cloth. This visual metaphor piqued viewers' curiosity and ignited their desire to know more.
