Vodafone Corporate Responsibility We work with Vodafone UK marketing and Corporate Responsibility teams to create campaigns which: Raise awareness of the positive initiatives Vodafone is undertaking to be a responsible business Encourage customers and public to use phones responsibly Wide diversity of issues including: handset recycling, responsible driving, content standards and teenage bullying...

23. Campaign Objectives Encourage teenage girls to think about the negative impacts of mobile phone bullying Provide support to those being bullied Help teachers and parents to better spot incidents of bullying and provide support tools Demonstrate Vodafone’s commitment to Anti Bullying Week (November) and creatively stand out

24. Campaign Strategy Develop a creative platform to engage teenage girls and parents and to deliver key campaign messages Create a formal education programme to aid teacher participation and classroom engagement Work with a bullying charity to develop campaign assets and raise funds

25. Creative Engagement At the heart of the campaign we needed a creative idea that would engage and entertain without being preachy That would inspire participation amongst all target groups by offering something unique and exclusive Tap into the desire for self expression and creativity Online was key to: Connecting with the target audience Delivering an intrinsic capacity for interaction – comment, rating, sharing Offering a way of overcoming tight project delivery timelines Providing measurability and data capture

26. Joseph and His Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat We approached The Really Useful Company Created by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber when 16 years old Still one of the most popular school productions over the last 30 years Features a bullying storyline between Joseph and his brothers who are jealous of his new coat Lee Mead, discovered by the BBC show, popular amongst teenage girls (and mums!) and on record as having been bullied at school

45. Creative Consumer Campaign:The Art of Tennis

46. Objectives Create an impactful PR campaign to promote the Finals and drive ticket sales in the two month build up to the event Engage sports and tennis fans through editorial coverage in national, sport & lifestyle media and through digital and social media content Generate media coverage with a reach of 50m Deliver over 100,000 unique users to the ATP website Help to deliver over 250,000 ticket sales for the event Provide content for international PR exploitation

47. The Challenge The greatest asset for the campaign was the players themselves, with globally recognised stars such as Federer, Nadal and Murray qualifying for the tournament. However, with extremely limited access to the players throughout the campaign, we needed a creative idea that would harness their global appeal and provide an ongoing platform for media coverage and online content, without relying on constant access for media interviews. .

48. Creative Our idea was “The Art of Tennis”, in which each qualifying player was challenged to create a self-portrait using just his racquet, tennis balls and a pot of paint, in a process that took just 20 minutes per player. Each player was photographed and filmed creating their artwork. This would result in a collection of unique artworks from the world’s top eight players, that could be used as a standalone PR asset throughout the campaign.

49. Execution As each player qualified for the Finals, imagery of their portraits were provided to selected media on an exclusive basis with links driving consumers to the ATP website for more content, including behind-the-scenes video of the artwork being created. Social media was a key channel, with Facebook, YouTube and Twitter all being used to engage with consumers and to distribute further campaign content. Influential bloggers were identified as a key audience and supplied with content, while the players themselves were encouraged to tweet to their own followers.

50. The Art of Tennis Exhibition A week before the tournament, the portraits were displayed in a London gallery, giving fans the chance to view them up close and for us to promote the gallery into London lifestyle media. Broadcast media were invited to the gallery to film as they created their own pre tournament features. The gallery also formed the backdrop of the official tournament draw Ceremony for national and international media.

51. The Tournament As the tournament began, the portraits were exhibited at the O2 and fans and media were given the chance to create their own pieces of art in the same way During the tournament, each player’s artwork was auctioned online for Save the Children allowing us to create further stories about the popularity of the players.

54. BBC live audience peaked at 2.9m (Nadal v. Murray)

56. Over 56,000 views of Art of Tennis video on YouTube

57. 20,653 plays of video content on ATP website
