The Vocal Coaching Website

'Your Music School' is a school for vocal education in Hamburg. To generate more applicants for the school's vocal coaching courses ad agency Red Rabbit Hamburg developed a website that could be navigated by using one's own voice. The eight menu items on the navigation were arranged on a scale. By singing the appropriate notes one could directly hit the desired menu item. 8-)

As a result, the website increased applications to the vocal coaching courses by almost 30%.

Vodafone Pixel Hunt

To promote the new Vodafone LG Optimus Windows 7 phone with 5 Megapixel camera, German ad agency Jung von Matt/Alster launched a website where the users had to search for the winning pixels in a picture of 5 millions pixels. There were one hundred winning pixels and each one of the winning pixels contained a brand new LG Optimus Windows 7 phone with 5 Megapixel camera.

In under a month, the entire 5 Million Pixels were clicked out by over 300,000 visitors (pixel by pixel). Thereby making this a great example of how a simple engagement campaign can generate the best results.
