2,000 space cadets competing for a trip to space

Lynx - Space Academy​

Challenge

Create an IRL competition mechanic for more than 200,000 hopeful star explorers to win the chance to go into space on Virgin Galactic as part of Lynx’s multi-channel campaign for its new Apollo fragrance.​

Solution

We delivered an epic live final for the top 250 cadets at LSA Live - a broadcast style physical competition to test the online cadets across moon mountain ascents and a bespoke inflatable assault course. Using RFID we pushed scores straight to social channels and the entire 2 days were webcast live. ​

Impact

200,000 people saw the event live at Westfield, generating 18 million trend impressions and more than 28 editorial publications. Then won best brand experience at the Marketing Week Awards.​
