OOHM - winning malaysian hearts

Challenge
MisterPotato is the Number One snack made by a Malaysian company. Can we leverage on our Malaysian heritage in a truly humble way? How can a single outdoor site move from static to kinetic. From mere branding, to building deeper connections with all Malaysians?

Solutions
Whilst the world is moving on, Malaysian hearts are still touched by customs and traditions. We have a strong sense of community. This makes us uniquely Malaysian. MisterPotato weaved into the fabric of Malaysian society and touched hearts by bringing “Projek Angkat Rumah” to the people. A unique Outdoor experience which powered Earned media. With pride, hundreds of young people experienced first-hand “Projek Angkat Rumah”. By moving a kampung house, we moved mountains (brand engagement).

Execution
One day media stunt did it all at zero media cost! We built a whole out-of-home experience around Projek Angkat Rumah. A ‘walking house’ escorted by Mister Potato mascot and his mariachis created strong and lasting images people liked. The entire “kampung” house moved from Sentul to KLPAC. Red sombrero hats were given out. Mariachis cheered the participants who munched happily on MisterPotato chips. The full day festivities closed with a MisterPotato kenduri feast.

Result
The out-of-home experience cost Zero but seen by 9.3 million people. Value went beyond Live event through EARNED media. Front page coverage in major newspapers and TV primetime news, valued at RM1.35million. Across social media platforms, conversations went on for days. The campaign further increased market share by 16%.
