Interface for Jacaranda's StudyOn product range.

Having established themselves as the major sponsor of several international runing events held across Australia, Suncorp were in need of a digital campaign and strategy to build on their well established offline position. "How will you run?" is the successful pitch that I Art Directed and helped develop the overall online and offline stategy for while working at Mettro. Users could interact with the Suncorp brand by going to a microsite in order to win prizes and complete a simple questionaire that answered the question "How will you run?". Each user was then assigned to a team such as Running Wild, Running Free, Running Scared etc. Alternately, those not participating could still win prizes by cheering on a friend or family member. Each user's answer could then be shared via social media, thus increasing the viral nature of the campaing. The look and feel of the online campaign was also carried through to the offline campaign to be implemented prior to and on the day of each sponsored event held across Australia.
