Xbox Sounds- Pussycat Dolls

Challenge

Broaden awareness of the Xbox360 console as a family friendly console, reaching out to an audience beyond gaming

Creative idea

Xbox develop the Xbox Sounds event series, where iconic music acts would perform at iconic Australian locations throughout the summer. The first in the series saw the Pussycat Dolls perform in front of the Sydney Opera House.

Campaign

Pulse was tasked with taking the story of Xbox Sounds to the mass media, broadening Xbox’s reach beyond the gaming and technology press.

Pre-event outreach targeted news , lifestyle and music media  to build buzz and hype for the event.

To maximise the post-event coverage Pulse targeted media from lifestyle, broadcast and major news outlets, offering access to the performers, spokespeople and other talent for news and feature stories.

Outcome

Local and international coverage of the event reaching an audience in excess of 60 million.
105 pieces of coverage were secured with 82% of these pieces  occurring in consumer lifestyle, news or broadcast media
