Storytelling
The story of the winter ritual, told across channels.

The small detail that made the difference.
Every swimsuit came with two free tickets to Plugin Heat Club. Customers scanned the QR code on the hang tag and entered their order or receipt number. The idea was to give people a reason to buy now, bring new guests into the sauna and link in-store sales with online.
What you get from one team.
No gaps between suppliers
Design, lead generation, retail and the event were planned together, so each step knew what the next one needed.
Ideas that cross channels
The ticket trick only happened because the same people knew the product, the sauna and the order system.
One contact
Nine processes, two brands, two retail chains and an event. One place to call.
