Sinarmas World Academy in Indonesia offers a combination of flexible spaces to allow for the different ways in which children learn.
Diverse learning modalities
The design of Sinarmas World Academy utilises modern research which shows that learning is not linear and uni-dimensional, but holistic and multi-faceted; in other words, children learn differently, using different learning strategies, or modalities, and at different speeds.
The modalities can range from group lecturing, one-on-one learning with the teacher, independent study and peer tutoring, to project-based learning, performance- and music-based learning and seminar-style learning. Each way of learning requires a different sort of environment. The traditional classroom comes up short against these diverse learning modalities because it is set up primarily for group lecturing.
In 2014 Nivea was one of those brands, with their award winning mobile campaign – Nivea Sun Kids, The Protection Ad.
The main goal was to win attract new customers to their Nivea Sun Kids product. To do this, Nivea wanted to reinforce the idea of protection. Instead of focusing on the sunscreen to fortify their message, however, they tweaked their lens to gain a broader perspective on their product. In doing so, they realised that when at the beach, parents’ concern reaches beyond merely wanting to protect their children from the scorching sun. What else they need to do is protect their children from getting lost.
Inside the ad is a detachable protector strip, something like an adjustable bracelet. The bracelet can then be strapped around a child’s arm. When the parent downloads Nivea’s app, which prompts the parent to identify the bracelet with a numbered code, the parent can set the parameters to which his or her child is allowed to travel. If the child breaches that distance the app starts beeping, alerting the parents of their child’s misadventures.
Now that’s some innovative mobile thinking.
The success of the campaign speaks for itself. It was featured in ten press articles and 40 digital ones. It’s won awards, caused a stir, and even become a sort of desired fashion accessory. According to this article, Nivea still receives requests for it today.
It’s clear to see why this campaign was so successful. The answer is simply because it doesn’t feel like marketing. It feels more like a useful gift that a concerned company is offering its adored target consumer. It’s creative, it’s fun, and it doesn’t reek of maligned corporate intentions. It’s a way of saying Thank you, customers… but remember, we’re still here, and you NEED our products.
They key to take away from this message is that you have to know your customers. The reason Nivea’s lateral thinking in this case worked so well is because that style of thinking was applied to what they know about their customers. Protection is the name of the game. Sure. But what what Nivea did was look beyond what their product can offer, and instead at what their target market might additionally need.
