Lynx Primal Instinct 47took the Lynx Instinct brand out to the places where its target audience
naturally congregated online.
The result was an integrated campaign featuring a multi-player online game
that proved both popular and addictive. The campaign was supported and
amplified across the audience’s favoured media channels:
●●Interactive media: rich interactive media created impact and awareness.
Some banners were also embedded with unique ‘game codes’ that could
be used to advantage when playing the Primal Instinct game.
●●Myspace/Bebo: a campaign profile was developed, allowing fans to post
comments and receive content such as wallpapers, icons and the Primal
Instinct iPhone app.
●●iPhone app: Soap developed a Magic 8 Rock app, giving the audience
decisive prehistoric wisdom for use in the Primal Instinct game – and in
the mating game at large.
●●PS3 and Xbox Live: in-game advertising spoke directly to the brand’s
target market.
●●Ralph and FHM: periodicals for the ‘modern caveman’ provided
promotion and more unique game codes to drive online participation.
●●Cinema: a 15-second cinema spot promoted the game experience before
movies popular with the target demographic.
●●TV commercial: the Lynx Instinct TV commercial drove consumers to the
online game at primalinstinct.lynxeffect.com.au. It was seen on TV, the
Lynx YouTube channel, the YouTube homepage and Facebook.
