BWS invites Aussies to ‘Play Summer’ as app-driven campaign returns
BWS kicked off the latest edition of its ‘100 Days of Summer’ campaign, set to run for the next three months.
The ‘Play Summer’ sales promotion includes summer deals and daily giveaways through the BWS app ‘BWS on tapp’. Also returning to the app is a gamified scratch and win promo mechanic with $7 million in prizes.
The BWS On Tapp offers users a one in three chance to win from the prize pool, with merchandise, free products and experiences among the prizes, as well as discounts.
BWS head of brand and customer experience Ken Russell said: “The BWS Cooler delivers a rich consumer experience which we know Aussies will love. It is an integral part of how we invite Australia to “Play Summer” with BWS”.
The campaign has been created by M&C Saatchi, who worked with Endeavour X to bring new features to the app including brand bucks, prize streaks and more.
It aims to build on the brand equity established in last year’s campaign, with Woolworths@Dentsu looking after the media strategy and bringing the platform to life.
Dentsu’s Isobar was engaged to develop and design a series of interactive rich media games throughout the customer journey.
The Play Summer platform will roll out across OOH, radio, press and social, and launches with an ambassador – the Thumbassador – who’ll appear across digital and social channels.
M&C Saatchi creative director Sharon Edmondston said 2020 sees a true evolution of the 2019 campaign.
“We took all the best bits from last year and brought a new sharper focus to the app which has been in intense development in the off season,” she said.
“This has opened up opportunities to create tightly honed creative bespoke to channel, resulting in a balance of hard-working retail alongside brand led/brand love creative.
As part of the campaign, BWS has used guerrilla non traditional media to build awareness and engagement with the app in Melton, Victoria.
The suburb was one of many under months of lockdown, with placements creating playable spaces in real life peppered around the town to lead residents towards their local BWS store.
