Challenge
The large corporate accounts game was cornered by Maxis and Celcom. After all, it made sense for big boys to stick together, seeing that they were the number 1 and 2 telco providers in Malaysia. As these accounts were usually established, DiGi needed a smarter way to get noticed.

Solutions
The usual modus operandi for this market was Direct Marketing mailers, followed by personal calls. Unfortunately, everyone wants the attention of a big corporation. The only way we realized we could stand out, was to literally go big (or go home). Our campaign sought to catch the eye of a decision maker or influencer with impossible to miss attention grabbers. We wanted attract the big boys with a few big toys!

Execution
Instead of trying to get up to the secretary’s desk, we decided to utilize their main access route, their large shiny foyers. There, we placed tastefully designed but massively oversized origami structures of bulls, ships, television, and credit cards. Plus our giant call-cards from our CEO, they were impossible to ignore.

Result
By taking a different approach, we saw a tremendous ROI. Not only was the interaction rate a whopping 25%, but for the USD 4818 we spent, we generated USD 266,095 worth of business, 47.8% higher than our target of USD 180,000.
