Augmented Media

Special campaigns draws attention effectively

What is Augmented Media?

Augmented Media term is created by us and means different kind of digital specialization projects and campaigns.

Augmented Media is a special campaign or material that activates and engages the client. It is by far the most effective way to attract customer attention and to leave the best and most durable memory of promotional product or service.

The most effective customer experience and memory footprint are created with the Digital Signage system with custom-made interactive special campaigns. For example, customer-driven games, SoMe-integrated content services, special events and promotions, and personalized, user-friendly and activating messages.

The current technology allows almost everything, so only the ability to design and the budget is a limit to the implementations. We combine the latest technologies with creative content solutions, gather the necessary implementation teams and specialists together and create a tailor-made special campaign for you.

Augmented Media ways to influence:

Gamification

Different motion sensors can scan the moves of the entire body and use them as part of the content of the gamification ads. This how the gamer will guide the progress of the game with their own moves. Games can also be controlled in other ways, for example: by mobile devices, dance rugs, wireless gadgets or even with big crowd movements or voice analysis. The game leaves a more powerful experience and memories compared to usual ads. After the game, the results of the game can be displayed and recorded in the result list for example in social media. At the same time, you can also collect customer contact details for later additional campaigns.

SoMe integration

Craneworks has implemented many special campaigns to customers, while also leveraging the power of social media. According to the public, the pace and visibility of public displays open completely new opportunities. Integrating a campaign into social media gives a tremendous extra dimension and reaches those who did not get into the event itself. Digital Signage screens can also show integrated campaigns and features like likes, check-in updates, images, videos, game results, video reviews, likes, and comments in real time.

Interactive campaigns

Interactive campaigns make people participate more. The customer moves from a passive viewer to an active participant of experiences. When a campaign, content and action that is being implemented have a strong connection to the product and its features to be advertised, it is possible to engage in fun, opinions, voting, positive feelings, and product features. After that, the customer feels that the products are more familiar and desirable than the other competing products.

Happenings

It is a good idea to create a multidimensional event, the happening, which brings people together and brings other media's attention to the event. Through this you will get more additional publicity. The crazier the idea is and the more special the implementation is, the bigger the media attention will be. Typically happenings are combined with digital media, music, dance, performance, physical activity, serving, customer gifts, charity and art.

Suprises / Pranks

Many of the best special campaigns are based on a small, harmless clients' suprising, spooking, tricking, flashmobs or even public proposals trough huge displays. The best surprise campaigns are very memorable and get incredibly valuable social media visibility for even years after the campaign itself.

Viral videos and SoMe -tails

When a good happening has been built and there happens something new and different, it is worth recording a viral video and sharing it in social media. This is how the video will continue marketing the event after it. The best videos can achieve a lot of attention. Sometimes, the viral video is actually the most important result of a special campaign.

Kamppi as a playground for special campaigns

Interactive indoor totems at the Kamppi Shopping Center and large outdoor display, The Wall, has over the years been a test- and playground for numerous special campaigns. Kamppi has given energy to the virtual Franekenstein figure, made passers-by look like virtual little red riding-hoods, competed in Alepan Beat It! dance competition, launched the new Playstation Xbox One, premiered Madonna's new music video, proposed several times on a big screen, streamed christmas songs from Lohja Church and Don Giovanni opera from the old opera house, danced ballet, played various sponsored games on a big screen, arranged various happenings in Narinkkatori, enjoyed media art and collected blood to the Red Cross. Digital display surfaces only limit is imagination and the system is designed to support any crazy and impossible ideas. Special campaigns have been conducted in co-operation with several advertising and digital offices, as well as with our technical partners and external advertisers.
Here are some examples:

Augmented Medias benefits

Basically everything is possible. Only your timetable and budget may cause us small limitations. However, we have become accustomed to working with our partners to push limits of possibilities.

The best and most sustainable memory

You can not get more better memory than this: When a customer participates in the campaign itself and achieves results, for example, gets the experience of the game and the score and reaches the ranking list is a memory trace of the event guaranteed.

SoMe -tails

With social media tails, your campaign lives online long after the event. For example, playing scores or a screenshot of a customer as a game character can be shared in social media, which causes even more attention and contacts than the actual event.

Media visibility

Because of their novelty and specialty, special campaigns get often published by other medias like in TV, web, magazines, Some. This will give you more free visibility.

Even little budgets have a big impact

Special campaigns do not always have to be very expensive implementations. A well-designed and well-executed campaign can, with a small budget, get a big media attention.
