A good network can’t be captured on a photo. Vodafone wants people to experience it’s amazing 4G coverage across Europe. Therefore they lauched a new worry-free roaming proposition. But: People are afraid of staying connected while traveling. Usually Vodafone would book airport meida and target banners on traveling profiles. Sadly, this is not dismantling the fears of the customers. We had to come up with more than media. We created a content series called “I’ll show you the world”.

Together with Mia Buehler (travel blogger from uberding.net), we created a live travel experience through five different countries. Driving interaction while creating unique content and claiming the live feature as a brand was key. By condensing over eight hours of content (per day) into a two minute highlight clip, we compiled a best of every city and provided lasting inspiration for the viewer’s next trip. By visiting Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Rome and Reykjavik, viewers experienced entirely different cultures and people. Mia visited famous influencers in each city and got to see those places, that can’t be found in a travel guide. The local Vodafone network operator shined and it became clear, that Vodafone has the biggest 4G network in Europe.

Traveling live with Vodafone took over social media by storm. Thanks to the amazing people and places and a smashing performance by Mia Buehler “I’ll show you the world” gathered over 1m social interactions in just five live days. That’s double the number of half a year’s social interactions on editorial Vodafone content. The experiment using live video content instead of product messages exceeded all expectations with over 6m video views and 80m reach in total. From a qualitative side, the ad recall of the core TG (25-34) increased 54,5%. And: The world is still a big place (with an improving 4G network coverage).
