The tongue-in-cheek, over-the-top campaign was aimed, in the first place, at recruiting new model scouts. As a consequence, the subsequent target was new aspiring Guess models. This strategy resulted in a much broader audience, beyond the aspiring models or regular modelling agencies.The movie, Saving Cindy, contained two interactive elements. In the film, a miserable Cindy sends an alarming SMS, personalised using the viewer’s actual name. The viewer then receives Cindy’s message on their mobile phone. Obviously, the person who initially sent the viral had already submitted their friend’s name and mobile number.The viral movie was very successful in driving high levels of traffic to the campaign website. Many (wannabe) models signed up for the Guess Global Model Contest "Faces to Watch". The viral movie was so effective that a majority of Guess’s international distributors used it in their local communication platforms. The viral movie was translated and broadcast internationally. Cindy got her ‘happily ever after’ – she was actually spotted by Marciano and became a new Guess model. The movie was shot at the famous Royal Palace of Godollo, the former summer residence of Queen Elisabeth (Sissi) of Habsburg near Budapest, Hungary.Pink and Poodle developed and executed this campaign in collaboration with Muse & Guess Watches International.
