In the ever-evolving digital landscape, pioneering technologies and innovative strategies are what really empower marketers to achieve their goals. Attesting to this are latest wins of Glance, InMobi, and Microsoft Advertising for their campaigns with Owl Labs and American Tourister. These remarkable narratives brought home a gold and a silver at the DIGIXX Awards 2024, and here, we dive into them in depth.  

American Tourister Wins a Silver With Glance, and BigTrunk Communications 

Category: Creative Use of Technology 

American Tourister is a globally renowned brand creating cutting-edge travel products for a diverse audience. It aimed to raise awareness about its new product range in a fun, interactive, and memorable way, and the Indian Premier League (IPL) was the perfect time to do this. But the brand knew one thing: the key to engaging millions of cricket fans on mobile was to capture their attention with an out-of-the-box idea. For this, it partnered with InMobi, Glance, and BigTrunk Communications to craft a high-impact experience that leveraged mobile technology

How the Campaign Took Shape 

A live score API on the Glance smart lock screen brought the brand’s vision to life and gave IPL fans what they wanted with one simple tap, without having to unlock the phone!  

Furthermore, by utilizing smart communication and featuring brand ambassador Virat Kohli, the brand created an instant connection to IPL. A full-screen takeover on the smart lock screen showcased the message, “Live score: See who’s #BreakingBoundaries,” with a "See Score” call-to-action leading to an interactive experience displaying live scores and boundary-crossing travel bags. Viewers were invited to explore colors and more, followed by the “Go Explore” call-to-action which led to the brand’s website, completing the delightful journey. 

Uncovering Impact 

By creatively using the mobile technology to create a smart lock screen experience, American Tourister achieved a 41.25% higher click-through-rate and 1.34x higher engagement compared to the platform benchmark. It also reached 2.7 million Indians and truly broke the boundaries. Dive deeper into this experience here
