Corona WebAR Campaign for Custom Sneakers Giveaway
Corona has done it again and has produced a 2020 limited-edition sneaker release. The Corona team worked with sneaker designer Jake Danklefs, to create 12 custom pairs of shoes that incorporate branding elements from both Corona and the Texas Longhorns. These were made to celebrate the partnership between the two organizations!
Groove Jones was brought on board to create a web-based AR portal experience that allowed sneakerheads and college fans the chance to win a pair of custom sneakers. Upon entering the site, fans will be transported to the Corona beach where they must find the shoebox containing the sneakers. Find the box and you’ll be prompted to enter.
Fans entered to win by playing an augmented-reality game found at a select website. The AR experience transported you to a Corona beach with palm trees, ocean sounds, and a bucket of ice-cold Corona’s between two Adirondack chairs. The iconic Corona beach scene.
#FindYourBeach
The objective was to find the octagonal Corona box hiding the custom shoes. Once they found them, the consumers tapped them to open the box and get a sneak peek of the shoes.
Once activated players 21 and up were able to enter for a chance to win a pair of shoes.
The sweepstakes and Augmented Reality experience were promoted at Texas Longhorns home football games and season-long in sports bars in the Austin area. Additional shoes were also shared with national Shoe Influencers, who posted unpacking videos and related images of the kicks. Reviews and excitement were very positive, delivering a great Year 2 experience!
