Brief and Objectives
Solution
TED created the concept, and then actualised the vision of building three count down Christmas clocks, powered by Terry Chocolate Oranges. The Christmas count-down clocks were then installed into each of the three shopping malls in the last week of November, ready to begin their countdown to Christmas day. Each clock was identical: A flipper clock was housed on top of a 3-meter clear sphere, inside of which kinetic elements were powered by the falling weight of the product – Terry’s Chocolate Oranges. The sound and sight of the product whizzing around through tunnels, down slides, through gates and spinners, amazed children and parents alike, as they gazed into the spherical clock structures. On the hour each clock would chime, and a hidden scent machine would emit the product’s chocolate orange scent. Single pieces of the product were sampled by a team of highly trained ambassadors, who also entered shoppers into a special competition. Sales of the product were increased by c20% in surrounding outlets and our installation was more popular than Santa’s Christmas Grotto!
