Challenge
PruRetirement’s “What’s Adam’s Number Challenge” engaged the public to guess a fictitious character’s retirement amount. We had to capture the nation’s attention and create curiosity—Who is Adam? What is his retirement lifestyle? What’s his “number”?
Solution
Being a short one month campaign, “What’s Adam’s Number Challenge” required round-the-clock presence to create ongoing visibility and garner immediate mass awareness. Combining this need with insight that our target audiences are adults commuting to work and insurance agents on the constant move, outdoor billboards are the ideal solution for its high traffic locations, wide coverage and ongoing visibility.
Execution
With the right medium identified, we now needed an innovative execution to keep its audiences hooked! We replicated the “Split flap display” used in flip clocks, where the visuals reveal the next digit of Adam’s retirement number week by week. This innovative movement stood out from other static visuals. PruRetirement’s countdown visual kept audiences hooked, driving them to participate online.
Results
This was the first-ever simultaneous weekly sticker change for multiple sites nationwide. The billboards drove 17,000 participants to take up the challenge online. One-third of PruRetirement’s entire 2009 sales were sold during this one month campaign period.

Challenge
The recent credit card RM50 tax impacted consumer spending disposition. 80% of total cards circulation dropped and HSBC]s cardholder base fell drastically. With only RM85,000, we were challenged to create a campaign that battles competitors, ratains cardholders and encourages cardholders to continue spending with HSBC during the festive seasons.
Solution
Insights indicate that cardholders are most likely to retain one or two cards which provide the best value and wont compromise the tradition of buying gifts for loved ones duting festive seasons. Leveraging on this, we engaged The Sun’s lighthearted content and developed irresistible tips for gifts, infusing joyful elements that drive ‘positive’ spending behaviour with multiply their rewards whenever they spend.
Execution
Centered on the message of festive gifting, we created the festive season’s Top 20 & 10 must-have gifts integrated within fashion and lifestyle content, encouraging readers to buy gifts to usher in 2010 new year. We creatively designed the numbers ‘20’ and ‘10’, engaging readers to relate HSBC’s gift ideas with multiplied rewards. HSBC will multiply ‘20x’ or ‘10x’ reward points for each HSBC’s gift ideas from the ‘20’ and ‘10’ lists.
Results
Within a month, HSBC’s only campaign singlehandedly ratained 98% of cardholders with overwhelming usage of nearly 1 million swipes (highest in 2009), gaining RM7Mn+ in increamental revenue, exceeded target by 17%! Campaign boosted brand consideration by 19%, free social media mentions and highest traffic to HSBC’s website which toppled competitors.
