Ask Guðmundur
The power of a content-led approach and seven Icelandic Guðmundurs. With a budget of only $2.1m, Iceland created a radically new type of tourism campaign using Responsive Content rather than traditional communications to rapidly change the attitudes and behaviours of tourists, adding $44.7m to the economy with a ROI of 21.3:1. "Iceland invites you to send your questions to #AskGudmundur. I gather that Iceland has a lot of folks called Guðmundur and they'll answer." President Barack Obama

The Wiener War
How does a smaller chain like Checkers & Rally's take on a big brand like Burger King and hijack their multi-million dollar hot dog launch? Well, sometimes all it takes is a print ad, a hashtag, and some clever innuendo to insult their...manhood. We forced them to compare wieners, inciting a Wiener War using our fanbase as our loyal soldiers, ultimately earning millions in earned media and doubling hot dogs in the process.
