    Campaign Results

    Over 800,000 impressions generated over 5 days.

    Objective

    CBS came to us merely 2 weeks before Comic-Con 2015 with a specific project in mind. They wanted us to transform one of our bar bikes into an interactive, multi-media mobile screening room to promote their new Late Show host Stephen Colbert. We had never done anything of this nature, especially with such short notice, but that did not stop us. We accepted.

    Solution

    We worked day and night to make modifications to the bar bike. Ultimately we added black vinyl strips as well as a metallic chrome finish around the exterior of the bike for aesthetic detail. Then we added a functional LED TV and display strip on the sides of the bike, which played snippets from the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, as well as 7 other CBS shows. During Comic-Con, we allowed patrons to ride around on the bike and experience the media bike first-hand, which proved to generate extraordinary social media impressions.
