The Watch That Transforms You
Shearwater
Our Challenge
Shearwater wanted to introduce an advanced dive computer to the recreational dive market where they saw a demand.
Our first ad featured mermaids.
The idea of legendary diving was a hit, so we kept on the legendary diving theme and introduced a few new creatures, including Poseidon, sprites, and sea nymphs.
The mythological angle made Shearwater ads stand out in a sea of boring magazine ads that looked the exactly the same (blue water, bright fish, pink coral, logo).
There was no way to miss them, and it showed.
Did It Work?
Did it ever. No one could have anticipated the tidal wave of web traffic they received to their website at the time of launch.
Orders for the product flooded the website, overwhelming the servers and crashing them.
Demand for the dive computer outpaced supply so dramatically, that it created a massive backlog in delivery and manufacturing.
All good problems, mind you, just not expected!
