Case Studies
#1. Evian’s Campaign
Tasked with building Evian’s cultural relevance in the US, Patrell’s team devised a plan to release a bottle in honor of Andy King—the lovable event planner and breakout star of Netflix’s Fyre Festival documentary. Emboldened on the custom bottles was the slogan: “So Good You’d Do Anything For It.”
The results were mind-blowing. Within hours of hitting the market, Evian’s Andy King bottle generated close to a billion media impressions and close to 330 million on social media. At the same time, the news was picked up by notable outlets, among them People, E! News, Ok magazines, Mashable, OUT, Attitude, and Queerty.
#2. Samsung NEON’s Campaign
Having brewed some breakthrough artificial human technology, Samsung’s team tasked Praytell with unveiling a potentially-polarizing product early in its development stage.
The solution was simple yet effective. PRaytell’s team chose to build excitement in the period leading to 2020’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES), accompanied by widespread outreach to capitalize on the pre-show momentum. The results were unmatched. NEON drew significant attention to become the most anticipated launch during CES 2020.
