Strategy

A road trip could be a way to help the communities along the route.

TOTAL Hi-Perf Racing and Red White Team built the campaign around a charity ride. Along the route, riders delivered essentials and school supplies to families facing hardship and brought solar lanterns to homes without electricity. Facebook’s 360° video let young Vietnamese viewers ride along on their phones and see where the journey took them.

Big idea

Look around to play.

Phượt Ký 360° turned a travel web series into a treasure hunt. Viewers panned around the footage to find hidden boxes, took a screenshot and commented with their estimate of the distance from the Saigon Central Post Office to the box for a chance to win. Looking beyond the forward view was how you played.

Execution

A motorcycle route filmed from every angle.

The campaign recap maps a 1,200 km route through locations including Sài Gòn, Buôn Ma Thuột and Phan Thiết. The team documented the charity ride with 360° cameras and aerial footage. Livestreams and supporting videos rounded out the campaign.
