Give consumers a one-of-a-kind tour of the all-new Carnival Vista by developing and designing a truly dynamic and innovative 360 degree ship tour highlighting all of the new and differentiated features that Carnival Vista has to offer. By teaming up with internet legend and visual effect guru, Zach King, we were able to pair innovative technology with an equally innovative personality.
The power of virtual reality is its ability to deliver the experience of presence. It allows users to be fully immersed in an alternate, lifelike experience without any effort or risk. Never has there been a better tool to help consumers see products in a brand-new light.
So we wanted to change up the consumer view. Carnival Vista was designed to bring people closer to the open sea. It's in our architecture, our open spaces and it's in our personality. We utilized virtual reality to show people the joy and excitement that comes when you simply change your vantage point.
Carnival Vista is full of visually stunning moments. So Carnival invited Zach King, someone who creates visually stunning videos for a living, to use the amazing views of Vista as his canvas. Zach takes us through the ship and shows us all the amazing visual trickery he's come up with, inspired by the amazing views of Carnival Vista.
Not only did teaming up with Zach King provide creative innovation but also distribution to his 20+ million followers.
Final video deliverables consisted of, (1) Long form with all spaces, (1) Narrative versions with 5 spaces that feature Zach on Camera, (7) individual videos of each space.
Distribution: Posted organically to Carnival Facebook page and Zach King's Facebook page. Zach posted a teaser video on his Instagram page. Paid consisted of Facebook, High Impact display units (Google Lightbox, AOL Road Devil). Video was included in (2) emails sen t to Carnival's database.
The video also had a hidden URL in the last scene. If a viewer saw it and went to the site, they had the chance to win a cruise for two on Carnival Vista. There was a total of 60+ entries. This hidden URL was never teased or mentioned in any promotion of the video.
