To maximize the impact of the launch we concepted and produced a PR stunt: The Most Freezing Football Match in the World. Two celebrity football teams, Gilla FC from Finland and Off-Pitch from Norway, played an epic and icy match on a frozen lake.
To promote the match, we created a teaser film to set up the scene, give the story origins, and create pre-event hype.

We also created product films that showcased OnePlus 12 key selling points in a creative, entertaining, and nationally relatable way. Showing the phone’s superior performance through all-too-familiar everyday struggles in our Northern climate made the product’s features tangible and relevant.
The results were impressive. OnePlus 12 was the most sold Android flagship phone in Finland.
OnePlus social media follower KPI was surpassed by +318%.
