The challenge
Tasked with an earned-first approach, we aimed to sway the skeptical Dutch public towards 5G's merits. Pre-campaign, most remained unconvinced, feeling distant from the topic. Media accentuated skeptic voices, hindering Vodafone's goals. The telecom sought a campaign to link 5G with Vodafone and showcase its societal unity and value.
The insight
The Vodafone 5G network can make the impossible possible. The main difference with the 4G network can be measured in nanoseconds and has the power to unlock a world of new possibilities. These new opportunities are brought to life through the powerful stories of authentic individuals. Over the course of several campaigns, we showcased the positive impact a nanosecond can have.
‘The Vodafone 5G network can make the impossible possible.’
The idea
We unveiled 5G with an inspiring tale starring a real hero: Tristan Bangma, a blind cyclist. Teaming up with FROLIC Studio, we crafted a groundbreaking tech solution for Bangma to conquer a cycling track. Commissioned by Vodafone, this device made him the first solo visually impaired cyclist, tapping into 5G's potential.
