Guerrilla

 

Winner: Canlis


TITLE: 2011 Canlis Social Media Campaigns: In 2011, the owners set out to engage social media in a new way. Working from their brief that social media is relational and needs to include more of a “give and take” mentality by the industry, they launched three shoe-string budget campaigns. From news-worthy menu hunts to Morse Code and secret dinners, the brothers won national attention for their creativity and paradigm-shifting.

Merit Award: Bullseye Creative

TITLE: Seattle Boat Show “Get Out And Boat” Guerrilla Campaign: Capitalizing on the fact that we were entering a presidential election year, the campaign centered on using “BOAT” as a play on the word “VOTE.” For months, The agency and a team of volunteers hit the streets at strategic times and locations to spread our message. Phrases like “Rock the Boat,” “Exercise Your Right to Boat,” “Every Boat Counts,” and “Boat Early Boat Often” blanketed targeted neighborhoods of the city.

We distributed buttons and bumper stickers at other boating events, we held mock rallies and “protests” with picket signs, we staged “exit polls” and “boater registration drives” outside marinas, and we planted our campaign yard signs right next to authentic political signs. We also developed a social media strategy on both Facebook and Twitter. Finally, on November 8, 2011 (election day) our brave group of volunteers held a collection of guerilla campaign posters over the freeway overpass.

All of these messages led our audiences to a guerilla campaign website (www.getoutandboat.com) where we offered downloads, photo galleries, polls and more. We received thousands of visitors, and dozens of of requests for fake political signs came in through the site as area boaters clamored to show their support.

(The last two pages of the PDF show how the guerilla eventually transitioned to the official advertising campaign for the “Boat 2012” show.)

Our primary goal was to stimulate interest in the world of boating during the “off-season.” Since our primary show advertising typically doesn’t launch until a few weeks before the show, we worked to make sure boating was a Top Of Mind topic with the Seattle boating community. In the interest of driving more boat sales at the show, we wanted to get people in a “Boating State of Mind” prior to our official advertising campaign, and to promote the fun energy that surrounds the boating lifestyle.
