From the archives: The Xbox Launch
This is a historic campaign from the SMA archives.
A little known fact is that Xbox
launched on campus before anywhere else
- a week before the official Australian launch.
The
campaign rolled
out with precision; grass-roots buzz followed by mass engagement - all
tightly integrated into a wider media strategy. Campus went
Xbox crazy.
Just how effective was the campaign? Within
days, the competitors
pulled their advertising from campus and conceded the
territory to Xbox - an important early victory in the battle for youth gaming loyalties.
Our incredible staff were employed for follow up in-store work over Christmas - winning awards in those channels too.
Internally it was a turning point for SMA - the first campaign where we handed over a significant part of the
promotional creativity to our student staff - with amazing results.

A new degree being offered? Lecture announcements are always an effective way to reach the target market.
Don't stand between boys and their Xbox!
