Stimulii secures massive Vodacom product placement deal

13 Mar 2009 11:43Submit a commentBizLike
Living brands agency, Stimulli, has revolutionised product placement in South Africa with their new reality-driven game show concept, Vodacom ThumbWars. The contestant-based show will take product placement and brand loyalty to new levels in South Africa and potentially beyond.
“Vodacom ThumbWars is the biggest, boldest, most exciting battle of the year,” Samantha Moon co-founder of Stimulii said. “We are delighted to be working with brand giants like Vodacom and Samsung, the programme's handset partner, on a project of such magnitude. Vodacom ThumbWars is going to be big.”

Tasked by Vodacom to demystify mobile technology to the mass consumer in a fun and entertaining manner, the game show will block contestants from using mobile voice applications. Contestants will have to rely on their wits, their thumbs and their Samsung phones as they travel to 20 unique destinations in South Africa in this treasure hunt of a lifetime. Each week, four age-diverse teams will put themselves to the ultimate test as the clock ticks down from R1 million.

The project, which is currently in the call-to-action stage, will run a massive above- and below-the-line strategy across TV, radio, print and online. Media partners include SABC 2 and the Sunday Times. Vodacom ThumbWars is set to air during prime time on SABC 2 every Thursday at 7.30pm, with season one launching on Thursday 4 June.
