The Brief was to create a corparate brand platform to own the brand promise “happiness between two fingers”, among all the target audiences. Instead of creating a conventional communication campaign we acted to connect them in an interactive way. Rather than being passive lessoners they participated in the show. - Act to connect - This is experimental marketing. Speaker: Burak Tuncer frrom The Sales Machine, Turkey member of DPID

dream of celebrating this very special year in an unconventional way.

make target people live and experience happiness. We formed the “Eti happiness
volunteers team”.
• The objective was to organize unexpected and surprising events to enable people
to live little happiness stories throughout Turkey.
• We organised 3 different events during the year where people participated and
experienced. Tv commercials were produced real time. Viral films were produced
showing the making of and the real time event as well. TV, Press, Internet media
is used for each case.

had not snowed over 30 years.

sqr of one of the City squares, just by the sea, with half a meter high. Also 6
big machines were installed to generate snow.

seats. We installed all the audio and visual systems and a very special 3D
film projection. When it was dark in the evening all the villagers took their
seats and put their 3D glasses. Those people who had never seen even an
