Tram laughs get message cut-through
Currie demonstrated its creativity and innovation when it conceived the idea of a comedy sketch on board trains and trams for Metlink.
Two comedians were engaged to travel on public transport for a week extolling the virtues of Value Metcards in a comic routine that captured the attention of the commuter target audience. Combined with promotions staff giving out free Herald Sun newspapers and a flyer to promote online sales, Currie generated an entertaining and novel way to create interest in a low-involvement product.
Supported by a Newspoll survey to generate news angles, a charity partnership and online competition, the campaign increased online sales by 73 per cent.
