Realisation
Together with the experts of United Internet Media, an innovative communications concept was developed for realising the idea comprehensively and in the complete reach on the portals of WEB.DE and GMX. The main point of the idea was integration of the real-time transfer into the various advertising media. The reach of the campaign website www.warte-bis-september.de was therefore directly expanded at the start by the reach of the portals.

Results
- Greater degree of recognition through the absolute live character
- Unusually quick awareness thanks to the real-time advertisement
- Effective placement on special interest environments and log-out pages led to higher absorption of the target group
- Eye-catching advertising media and more interactive forms of communication awaken the curiosity of the users

Conclusion
The strategy - developing awareness as quickly as possible - was successful: Within the first 24 hours, the WEB.Buster with integrated live streaming generated more than 100,000 clicks. More than 40 million contacts were generated across all of the advertising media that were used during the campaign period within the shortest amount of time. In terms of quantity, this put the campaign in the area of TV reaches. However, it offered the decisive advantage in terms of quality through direct linking to the IKEA website, which led to a massive and promotionally effective distribution of the desired advertising message of IKEA and increased the efficiency of the booking.
