American Express's coverage gap issue involves the perception between where individuals think the American Express Card is accepted and where it is actually accepted. Improving this so called 'Perception of Coverage' was the primary goal for this campaign. Because of the divided base (proprietary and Flying Blue cardholders) the game was designed and build in two different variations.

Following up on the earlier 'awareness' and 'spend stimulation' campaigns we choose to create an interactive and engaging game to get our message across. Reward points and miles where used as an extra incentive to play. We used over 90 of American Express's top merchants in the Netherlands and divided them into 6 categories to create a clear overview of the richness of coverage. In every category the user had to pick his personal favorite.

The six favorites where then used to create a dice with a logo on every side. With these personalized dice the game 'Best Of 5' is played. Best of 5 is based on 'Yahtzee' and object of the game is to win points by rolling five dice to make certain combinations. The dice can be rolled up to three times to try to make one of the possible winning combinations.

Besides a better perception of the cards coverage with the cardholders, American Express enriched their client database with valuable data of personal favorite merchants in six different categories. This data will be used in upcoming campaigns and personalized offers.

For the commercial transport clients of Mercedes-Benz we developed a special program to convince them to install a route registration device in their cars. The clients recieved a mailpiece with their own 'Vito' or 'Sprinter' as a model car. Within the original model car package was a leaflet informing about the 'ZERO Delta' route registration system.

On the website users could see the special deal for placing the ZERO Delta system in their cars. To show the benefits of ZERO Delta we used the model cars in combination with the registration system. A hand places the USB-sick in the device before driving one of the cars around. It shows what is registered, how it's registered and shows registration of multiple drivers or cars.

David Ogilvy was big on testing, and his effectiveness as a communicator improved dramatically as a result. It’s amazing what you learn when you test different elements on a website: simple tweaks of headlines, changes in calls to action, different placements of elements, tracking how design changes improve conversion of your objectives. And I think this should also apply to your own website.




The biggest problem with the previous version was that it was build in Flash, so it didn't work on the devices we all love so much. Besides that it was pretty complex to add content so most of the news and cases were outdated. That's why we decided to take the next step and build a future proof website which was easy to update and could easily be improved by small tweaks and changes. After all, at Ogilvy we never stop testing.

For this Google Adwords sales event entrepreneurs first received a miniature art-frame-mailing inviting them to an exclusive art exhibition. A couple of days later they recieved the real invite with a personalized tagcloud of search words.

At the gallery branch specific words were printed, framed and presented as if it were art. Thus communicating that certain words can be very valuable to a company. At the event the Country manager of Google in the Netherlands, an Adwords user and a known dutch writer told about their personal 'Value of Words'.

Mercedes-Benz After Sales vroeg of we bestaande klanten met een Vito en/of Sprinter wilden bevestigen in hun keuze om hun auto bij de Mercedes-werkplaats te brengen voor reparatie en onderhoud. Als je dat consequent volhoudt en niet naar een ander gaat, dan kun je rekenen op een betrouwbare en veilige bestelwagen met nog een hogere restwaarde ook.

Vandaar de Mobiliteits-Kuur: structureel onderhoud zorgt voor een gezonde bestelwagen. Dus maakten we een medicijndoosje met daarin vitaminepilletjes en een bijsluiter. De bijsluiter bevat - in bijsluitertaal - alles wat we wilden vertellen. Dus geen brochure, geen brief, zelfs geen envelop. Alleen een doosje, waarbij de apotheeksticker dienst deed als adresdrager.

We wisten dat Mercedes graag e-mailadressen wilde verzamelen. Dus hebben we een code toegevoegd aan het pack. Hiermee konden mensen inloggen en, na het invullen van hun e-mailadres, kijken of ze een mooie prijs (gratis accessoires, korting op een onderhoudsbeurt) hadden gewonnen. In totaal liet bijna 10% van de ontvangers een e-mailadres achter op de website.
