DescriptionMobile Internet is one of the most growing trend in Russia nowadays. But women perception is more closed for new technologies and starting using them in comparison with men. That’s why we decided to make separate activation with focus on women to break this barrier. We chose Cosmopolitan magazine as the most effective channel for that and created Cosmo by Beeline application, which made Cosmopolitan Russia magazine interactive for the first time.

We put branded signs on the November 2013 Cosmopolitan Digital issue pages, which meant 50 signed pages starting from the cover were interactive. So, the reader saw the signs and got a chance to get the augmented stuff using a smartphone or a tablet.

Simple quests and good prizes provided the project with additional value for Cosmo readers. On several pages of the magazine we hided the key words, which belonged to the secret phrase. So, users were supposed to scan pages and look for words to get a month of free mobile internet in case they do all stuff in a proper way.

Results:

Over 20 000 downloads (iOS Store + Google Play)
Almost 80 000 2 minutes Interactions with augmented reality feature

And as the main result was a strengthening of Beeline’s key image attribute as an “innovative and high-tech operator” by 15% between October and December 2013.
