THE CONCEPT: #UNICALC

15 08/20/13

#UNICALC: The Idea

UNICALC is a product and a campaign designed around the universal language of numbers. Numbers are:

Universal. They span generations, cultures, & countries.

Flexible. Numbers can represent anything – the possibilites are infinite.

Playful. They can teach, play, & intrigue.

Useful. We think this is self-explanatory.

PROJECTIONS & GOALS

42 08/20/13

KPIs

A few of the ways we can measure the success of the #UNICALC campaign across platforms:

App installs: 500,000 in its first month Time spent with app: Frequent and continued

Social engagement: Hashtag use & interaction in retweets, likes, and replies

43 08/20/13

Future of App

Only 20% of people return to their free app after downloading it. Only 5% of those who return continue to use it after 30 days. How we will combat this behavior:

New content: Both from user submissions and generated by UNIQLO

Push notifications: Keep the app top of mind

Contests: Continue to promote contests using app across platforms
