Virgin Blue have just launched a new campaign; the worlds biggest game of “Pass the Parcel” to celebrate their 9th Birthday in Australia. When you get to the Birthday website a 3D present invites people to unwrap it for a chance to win one of hundreds of instant win prizes.
Every friend you share it with gets you an extra layer to unwrap and another chance to win prizes, so this could go semi-viral if they can drive enough traffic to the site at the start of the campaign.
Not as engaging or interactive as I’d expected it to be (it’s kind of a one click game), but it’s beautifully art directed and rich in creative execution, plus it’s a great competition idea!
Click here to check out the website. The agency is Cummins Nitro.

I am the only one who hats when friends send me a link like that to enable them self to win more? Sorry not my favorite approach to generating traffic.

Hi Aden
Vodafone NZ did this ages ago – shows the idea’s pretty old hat.

Sounds a lot like the early days of Facebook apps where you had to send a link to 20 friends to find out who really likes you. I would like whoever more if he didn’t send me links. Imagine 20 other people sending you the same link. It happens when your name starts with A and is first one on their lists. Arrggh.
