Case study: Royal congratulations

02 Will and Kate Post ItRoyal congratulations | Post-it, UK| OgilvyAction

OgilvyAction, the brand activation arm of the Ogilvy Group, created a tactical royal wedding-themed outdoor campaign for the new Post-it ‘Super Sticky Notes’.

The OOH based campaign uses a giant Post-it Super Sticky Note with the names of the royal couple hand-written with a heart, accompanied by the words ‘May you stick together forever. Congratulations’ - a light hearted connection between the product and the Royal wedding. The product strap-line is ‘Holds Stronger and Longer’.

The campaign goes live on Sunday 24th April for 2 weeks and appears in high-visibility sites across London. In central London locations with heavy traffic and footfall.

Helene Manga, brand manager at 3M, said: “OgilvyAction came to us proactively with this initiative.  As soon as we saw it we knew we couldn’t say no to the campaign. The Royal wedding is spreading cheer throughout the nation as millions, even billions of people across the world gear up for this wonderful celebration. OgilvyAction has placed Post-it Super Sticky Notes at the heart of the event with a humorous campaign that has as wonderfully light touch.”

Jason Wall business director at OgilvyAction, added: ‘Post-it Notes are an iconic product that everyone knows and loves. Given their status as a household name it made absolute sense to develop a tactical campaign that would reinforce the ubiquitous nature of the product and teasingly link them to the Royal wedding, through the Super Sticky messaging.
