NAWRAS // PIGGYBACKING

PROBLEM
Oman’s telecom provider, Nawras, wanted people to test their fast Internet speed, and then buy it.
The Omani market is highly competitive, and Nawras – known for its innovative products and services – wanted something that steered away from conventional advertising.


SOLUTION
We based our idea on a human insight: when people look for WiFi, they try to steal it. It’s called ‘Piggybacking’.  
We utilised the most relevant medium: WiFi available network names. By manipulating routers to send many messages to theright people at the right time, ‘Nawras Piggybacking’ was created. If people clicked on any of the newly-created network names, they’d get to test the service for free.


RESULTS
Despite no media budget, with this campaign:
• We achieved maximum exposure to the right people at   the right time.
• People got to test the speed of Nawras' Internet for free.
• Nawras' database increased significantly.
• Revenue grew by 1.2% during the same period.
