Take Me Fishing: Mobile Case Study

< Previous / Next >

Visit the site: www.takemefishing.org/mobile »

Solution

We conducted user studies that revealed the features most desired by consumers, such as where to fish and general how-to information. We then combined with the style and functionality of TakeMeFishing.org to the launch the brand into the mobile space. A first-of-its-kind in the category, it became the go-to resource for planning a day on the water. Initial data shows the mobile site is helping produce double-digit increases in overall site traffic. And shortly after launch, it was celebrated as a must-see mobile experience by Communication Arts and Creativity — and named the FWA’s Mobile Site of the Day.

Challenge

The Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation (RBFF) is the nonprofit organization behind TakeMeFishing.org and is dedicated to aquatic conservation and increasing participation in fishing and boating. As the use of smartphones skyrocketed, we wanted to continue to set anglers up for success, regardless of where they accessed the brand. How could we give fishing enthusiasts a wealth of information when they most likely have a fishing rod in one hand?

Schwinn: Bell Choir Case Study

Schwinn Schwinn Bell Choir

Solution

At the core of Schwinn’s DNA is joy, so instead of sending yet another sales message into the seasonal clutter, we created a new twist on an old holiday favorite. We assembled a team of Schwinn-riding carolers who played beloved holiday songs using custom-made, specially tuned Schwinn bike bells. We also built a site where people could exchange e-carols of the Bell Choir performing the songs. To extend the spirit of giving, Schwinn donated bikes and helmets to kids in need for each carol that was shared. The Schwinn Bell Choir has been recognized by the Webby Awards, AIGA and the FWA for its rich Web experience.

Challenge

At SchwinnBellChoir.com, visitors were not only be able to listen to the Schwinn Bell Choir perform classic carols, they also had the opportunity to spread the joy by sharing e-carols with friends and family. Each song shared helped donate a Schwinn bike to a child in need during the holiday season.
