The strategy focuses on executing an out-of-home (OOH) campaign to increase the brand awareness of the online dating platform 'No Names'. The approach includes three main strategies: utilizing billboards, leveraging public transportation advertising, and hosting guerrilla marketing events.
For billboards, the campaign involves placing eye-catching designs in high-traffic areas with a clear call-to-action directing people to download the app. This strategy also includes using QR codes for easy app downloads, digital billboards for dynamic content, and partnering with local influencers for extra engagement.
In terms of public transportation advertising, the campaign targets the most utilized systems in key areas and develops tailored ads for buses, trains, and tram systems. Interactive ads with QR codes and user testimonials are part of the plan, along with strategic ad placements in highly visible areas to maximize exposure.
The guerrilla marketing events are designed to captivate audiences in high foot-traffic locations. These events involve branded merchandise, collaborations with local artists, and interactive experiences to highlight the app's features. The events aim to drive engagement and encourage app downloads through limited-time promotions and incentives.
