The Challenge
To amplify the partnership, O2 commissioned creative designer Anderion De Castro to produce a series of bespoke digital artworks. Each piece incorporated coded designs, which, when solved, revealed hidden messages. These interactive art assets featured the O2 logo and doubled as NFTs, offering the first successful code-crackers unique digital collectibles viewable on Nothing’s NFT gallery.
The Solution
The campaign rollout included high-impact guerrilla projections in London, Birmingham, and Manchester, ensuring maximum exposure in key nightlife and entertainment districts. Alongside this, a comprehensive media strategy activated placements across DOOH, social platforms (Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, Twitch), and immersive gaming environments such as Roblox, Paladins, SMITE, and Rogue Company.
The Result
The initiative not only marked O2’s entry into the NFT space but also demonstrated its ability to push creative and technological boundaries. Through a blend of physical activations, digital innovation, and gaming integrations, the campaign captured public attention, drove intrigue, and reinforced O2’s positioning as a leader in connectivity and customer innovation.
