Domtar Paper: Situation
Feeling the pressures to go paperless? In a time when textbooks are being replaced by iPads, maps by iPhones, conversations by tweets and filing cabinets by "the cloud," people still have great affection for paper.
Domtar, a global leader in office paper, drove that message through the advocacy campaign PAPERbecause. Along with creating new print ads, videos and online banners, EMA launched a truly wireless hotspot that became a highlight at SXSW, one of the world's largest interactive festivals.
Paper in the Lion's Den
The Domtar "Paper Hotspot" was an oasis of comfy couches, a fireplace, and shelves filled with books, magazines and sketchpads. People stepped inside to unplug, sit down and interact with paper. While the warmth of the paper was a stark contrast to the surrounding digital landscape, it was welcomed with open arms.
Crushing convention
PAPERbecause did more than raise eyebrows; it turned a commodity into something special. By building affection, relevance and trust, the overall campaign increased brand awareness by 225% and raisedpurchasing intent for Domtar by nearly 100%.
