13/10: Aerodeon to Support First 'Text and Reveal' "Bite Me" Billboard Campaign for Kitkat Kubes
Billboard campaign to take place 12-14 October 2003 to support launch of bite size product
Launch to target males and females aged 15-25 years
LONDON, UK - Aerodeon, the mobile marketing agency, today announced that it has created the first 'text and reveal' billboard campaign for the launch of KitKat Kubes, a new and innovative extension of the nation's number one chocolate brand.
The campaign, which takes place from 12-14 October 2003, aims to position KitKat Kubes as a 'mobile' product that can be consumed anytime, anywhere, and to create mini-breaks with friends. The target audience is text messaging-savvy male and females aged 15 to 25 years. Whilst it is traditionally women who buy bite size products, this campaign aims to bring new male users into this area of confectionery.
An innovative 30x20 ft billboard in Covent Garden, London will encourage consumers to text in to 'discover' which celebrity is hidden behind the KitKat Kubes covering the picture. The face of the celebrity will be gradually revealed during the three days. Prizes include the chance to meet the featured celebrity and runners-up prizes of signed CDs and KitKat Kubes.
The campaign has been devised by Hill & Knowlton with J. Walter Thompson handling the TV advertising. Consumers will be able to opt-in to receive future promotional offers and information about KitKat products.
A Nestle spokesperson said; "KitKat Kubes targets young people on the move, so the fit with mobile marketing is perfect. The Britain's Biggest Break campaign we developed with Aerodeon earlier this year was very successful in delivering high response rates and we are looking to repeat this success."
Chris Bourke, Aerodeon UK Managing Director said; "Mobile marketing is of growing importance to brands due to the phenomenal rise in text messaging. This campaign demonstrates how a global brand has embraced the medium and now views it as a vital part of the marketing mix."
