“The Glance Lockscreen is a really unique medium that has helped us reach and engage our core target audience with truly immersive content.”
Refreshing Indians since 1999 and created by The Coca-Cola Company, Sprite is the world's leading lemon-lime flavored soft drink. It is known for its signature green color branding and crisp, clean taste. The brand is also known for its cool and honest attitude, providing its consumers with a spurt of refreshment every time they drink the sparkling beverage.
Glance helped Sprite conceptualize and launch the Sprite Cricket Premier League (CPL) - a highly engaging virtual cricket tournament. Closely reflecting the IPL format, it allows users to choose and play for a city of their choice. The game provided a chilled-out escapade for users, encouraging them to play the Sprite Cricket Premier League with a Clear Mind, underscoring the core brand communication #CLEARHAI.
The heightened stadium experience was brought to life through a custom gaming creative on Glance; tactfully using the platform in innovative ways to create brand associations. The signature green color of Sprite, the bottle, and the logo were strategically integrated as native elements within the game, maximizing the impact for the brand.
The brand also cleverly integrated its core message about how Sprite helps one-hit reset by providing not only a physical but mental refreshment as well. During the Sprite CPL games, if a batsman (user) is dismissed, they are presented with a second chance to bounce back on the field and play again, this time with better clarity by choosing to “Reset with Sprite”. This not only kept users hooked to the game but also strongly landed the message that Sprite will activate the much-needed clarity whenever a player is going through a ‘bhaari’ situation in the match.
The campaign creative were designed to provide a rich, full-screen brand experience on the consumers’ primary device’s lock screen. Users were nudged to “Play Now” and upon clicking were instantly taken to the Glance Game Centre to experience the Sprite CPL. As the game loaded, a 15-second glimpse of the latest Sprite campaign video reinforced the message of ‘Din Bhaari Life Jaari’.
The brand also captured any intent generated through the course of the awareness and engagement exercise. A cricket-themed Sprite promo card was curated with the brand prominently placed in the center of the lockscreen. Upon clicking on the card, the user was taken to the Coke2Home page to purchase the product. The Glance platform’s deep links with leading e-commerce platforms such as Flipkart, Grofers, and Big Basket meant that users could instantly complete the transaction.
Sprite over-achieved its goal of engaging high-quality users through the Glance platform within just five days of the campaign being live.
