“Create Your Own Oakley Diorama” Campaign to Inspire the Creation of Skate, Surf and FMX Dioramas : Campaign Turns Actio

SAN DIEGO (Business Wire EON) May 15, 2008 — “Each one of our world-class athletes is an outspoken personality with a unique story to tell, so we set loose their creativity on dioramas that capture their lifestyle and turn their inspirations into art,” said Colin Baden, president of Oakley. “Those who respect and rely on Oakley innovation are part of that mindset of independence and unrivaled style, so we’re giving them the opportunity to express themselves and celebrate their individuality by laying down some pure creativity.”
In addition to honoring the grand prize winner, the Oakley expert panel will award prizes to the first, second and third runners-up among the top 100 highest scoring entrants. Chosen from the top 100 most viral entries, the most viral winner will win a London Police Presentation Pack featuring Oakley GASCAN® sunglasses, CROWBAR® SNOW goggles and an Oakley hoodie.
Brands and agencies use Brickfish’s patent-pending platform to launch online advertising and marketing campaigns that spark the creation of brand-focused UGC such as blogs, images, video and audio. Brickfish’s content sharing tools enable anyone to view and review submissions, vote on their favorites, and share them with friends and peers through email, instant message, and by posting on social networking sites.

“Fans of action sports have a style all their own, and this campaign gives them a completely unique way to express themselves and celebrate their allegiance and respect for the Oakley brand,” said Brian Dunn, CEO of Brickfish. “By virally spreading Oakley’s action-sports heritage across hundreds of social networks, numerous like-minded consumers will be exposed to the brand.”

The “Create Your Own Oakley Diorama” campaign ends June 12.
