Brief Explanation:
CLIENT: GMP, a recruitment consultancy BRIEF: Raise brand awareness Increase CV uploads SOLUTION: Singaporeans work late. So we positioned GMP as champions of work-life balance. Since Asians believe in the supernatural, we used ghosts as a danger of working late. Phase 1: Chilling office video appears online. Phase 2: Three amateur ghostbusters invite the public to join their investigation. Phase 3: On Labour Day, GMP staked ownership with a video message: NO ONE SHOULD WORK LATE. RESULTS: Over 2,000,000 views of the viral after 3 months Over 9 times traffic increase to GMP’s website Over 48% increase in online registrations
