Situation
Target Demographic and Music Rights
Tommy Hilfiger wanted to engage young adults.
They couldn't use Shawn Mendes's music.
Campaign sought to bolster loyalty sign-ups.
Tommy Hilfiger was aiming to attract a younger demographic (ages 25-34) by leveraging the image of renowned singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes. They wanted to engage this audience through a sweepstakes promotion as part of their loyalty program. However, they faced a significant challenge because while they had the rights to use Mendes's image, they did not possess the rights to his music, a core part of his appeal. This restricted their promotional approach by limiting how they could incorporate the artist into their campaign. Additionally, the promotion aimed to drive traffic to the company’s website, increasing memberships in Tommy Hilfiger’s Hilfiger Club loyalty program.

Task
Create Engaging Sweepstakes Promotion
Design a captivating sweepstakes campaign.
Encourage website interaction and sign-ups.
Compensate for lack of music rights.
The goal was to design a campaign that not only attracted the target demographic but also encouraged multiple interactions with the brand. To overcome the lack of music rights, they needed a creative solution that leveraged the brand's partnership with Mendes effectively. The task involved increasing engagement on Tommy Hilfiger's website and incentivizing users to join their loyalty program despite the limitations. It was crucial to develop a captivating experience that would compensate for the lack of integration with Mendes’s music, making sure the campaign would still resonate with fans and align with the brand's values and aspirations.

Action
Integrate Gaming and Branding Elements
Launched the 'Play It Forward' game.
Integrated a suitable, rights-safe soundtrack.
Used game levels to enhance engagement.
To tackle these challenges, Tommy Hilfiger and TLC Worldwide launched the 'Play It Forward' digital game. This tapped into the growing trend of gamification to engage their audience. The game featured a soundtrack that aligned with both the brand and Shawn Mendes, without infringing on music rights. Participants could boost their chances of winning through repeated engagement by advancing to higher levels within the game. The interactive elements not only enhanced user engagement but also increased traffic to the brand’s website. By merging gaming with branding, the campaign optimized its appeal and drove interactions without relying on musical content.
