SOLUTION

#CARDCONCERT
To connect teens with their mums for Mother’s Day and to promote Hallmark Helper, Nova Entertainment executed a bespoke music event called #CardConcert featuring American Authors at Sydney’s iconic Luna Park.
Research revealed teens wouldn’t be as enthusiastic about attending a Hallmark event as they would be to attend a Nova event, so made the bold, yet strategic decision to be absent from all communications in the lead up to the event. This allowed Hallmark to ‘Surprise & Delight’ the audience who attended the event, revealing their involvement as guests arrived.

On Air
Content:
As all On-Air communication was delivered without Hallmark branding, Nova utilised the Smallzy to strategically engage with the target of ‘teens’. Smallzy voiced campaign commercials that featured the hit American Authors track - Best Day Of Your Life, encouraging listeners to tune into Smallzy’s Surgery to win their way into the gig.

Nova facilitated a unique music event featuring American Authors at Sydney’s Luna Park for Hallmark. Hundreds of teens won their way in and attended along with their mums. Unbeknownst to them the event was thanks to Hallmark, which was revealed as they arrived.
To gain entry to the concert - guests needed to select, write and post a Mother’s Day card from the Hallmark Pop Up Card Store, with the assistance of HallmarkHelper.com.au.
