CHALLENGE1. Activia marketing team was skeptical towards digital as

effective tool for reaching brand’s objectives. We had to show the power of digital

APPROACH1. Failure was not an option, so we used 80% of proven tools and

instruments: viral foto contest mechanics with maximum simplicity for users in combination with context and media advertising
