The challenge

Introduce the Huawei GR5 — the lowest-priced fingerprint-sensor handset in the market — and prove the fingerprint technology was genuinely useful.

The big idea

“Everyone is different — and so is their fingerprint.”

Our approach

A series of teaser posts built entirely around 'Tap' and what a tap can do, leading into a connected launch. A launch video plus a mobile web app, Tap-O-Graphy, combined a user's fingerprint with their face to create a unique profile photo — reinforcing the message.

The outcome

  • Sales doubled vs. the previous G7 Plus
  • 110K additional page likes
  • Reached 9 million people; campaign exported to other Huawei markets

Deliverables

  • Social strategy
  • Teaser series
  • Launch AV
  • Tap-O-Graphy web app
