Prilosec OTC Gets Moms Buzzing With The Winning Play Giveaway


Manning, Selvage & Lee (MS&L) was brought in to develop a cost-effective, creative promotion centered on giving away eight Super Bowl tickets on behalf of the frequent heartburn medication Prilosec OTC, marketed by Procter & Gamble (P&G). Within a one month timeframe, MS&L led multiple partner agencies in developing a social media (blogger) campaign involving an online sweepstakes with an instant-win component.

Challenge:
- Raise awareness of and entry for the “Prilosec OTC Winning Play Giveaway” sweepstakes
- Drive product trial among entrants who qualified as frequent heartburn sufferers

Audience:
Busy, family-focused, sports lovers who participate in sweepstakes

- Assembled a database of 200 influential blogs, message boards and Web sites in the area of sports, parenting and contests
- Created a rich media “widget” as a tool for consumers to upload to their blog or social networking page. The widget included a countdown clock to illustrate how many days were left to participate in the sweepstakes and allowed bloggers to easily publicize the contest information to their network and drive click-throughs for the game
- Developed a Facebook profile to generate organic traffic to the instant-win game

Results:
- Reached 1,225,000 unique visitors on blogs (e.g. About.com, NFL GridIron Gab, 5 Minutes for Mom)
