Challenge
To position Dell Futurist as an enabler for students who want to pursue their passions, and to create a content ecosystem that helps them build a passionable future by providing them with guidance and opportunities to not only nurture, but also elevate their passions.
Objective
Until last year, Futurist was just a platform that enabled your dreams. This year, we wanted to position it as more than that - an identity. You don't just come to Futurist. You BECOME a Futurist. A Futurist wants more from their future than just a 9-to-5 routine. We inspire students to see their passions as viable careers, and enable them to build a passionable future.
Strategy
Prebuzz - Venn Diag - student language visually and in copy, direct and to the point but doesn't lose quirk, and hence did well. Monday Motivation - Leveraged an insight relevant to students (MondayMotivation), spoke in their TOV, and didn't lose quirk. Launch - Mario story and Rock paper scissors story to add a relatability factor After intriguing our audience with the promise of Dell Futurist for 2 weeks, we launched our first passion - the opportunity to be a part of the exciting (and thriving) world of GAMING. Quirky and relatable content gained a lot of reactions and engagements, along with driving more profile visits than the functional content on average. Activities like Quiz-Off with V3nom, Maze solving puzzle, pro-tips by influencers and gamers like Ankit Panth, Abhish Mathew and Kiran Noojibail drove a lot of attention of the gaming audience.
