Description of the Project:
A lot of effort goes into making our favourite entertainment.
But most people watch these epic productions on un-epic screens, like an old iPad or a tiny phone.
So the purpose of the project was to get people to ditch their old mobile device and upgrade to the Samsung Galaxy TabS2 tablet - the only device that has a screen worthy of the entertainment we love.
To do this we teamed up with an actor from one of the most loved and epic shows of all time (Game of Thrones), an actor famous for only saying one word, and got him to finally speak up against inferior screens.
The ads used device-detecting technology, so he knew what device you were watching it on (a competitor phone or tablet) and had a tailored tantrum directly at you for watching such a high quality production on such a low quality screen.
The online ads were designed to look like a trailer for the upcoming season of GOT and rolled out across rich media pre-rolls, a micro-site, expandable banner ads and a sharable online spot tailored for personal devices.
