The campaign was created
and produced by Night Agency, New York.
By putting an interactive spin on the classic idea of product sampling, the SpiralFrogClub.com microsite allows users to sample and discover free, downloadable music from 12 different genres. Users can choose from virtual dancers that represent different playlists. These dancers can be personalized in a way that lets users choose hairstyles, accessories and even upload pictures of their own face to the dancer's body.
Targeting music fans in the U.S. and Canada, the microsite includes a viral aspect that lets users pass along playlists and virtual dancers to friends.
"SpiralFrogClub.com is a great way to get introduced to our benefits versus illegal peer-to-peer download sites - free, safe and legal music delivered in a fun discovery environment," said Matthew Stern, vice president of marketing for SpiralFrog. "This campaign gives music fans the tools to become part of the SpiralFrog brand experience and connect with music in an inspiring way."
"We wanted to create a humorous and interactive site where users would be able to experience the brand," said Darren Paul, managing partner of Night Agency. "We felt the dance club theme provided a setting that the target demographic would be able to relate to and have fun with."
SpiralFrog has achieved several key milestones since its launch in September 2007. The rapidly growing service now reaches more than 3.8 million unique monthly visitors and more than 1.1 million registered users.
