THE CHALLENGE
UNiDAYS needed to keep student audiences engaged with brand discounts through the Euros one of the busiest promotional periods of the year. Standard single-offer campaigns fatigue quickly, and Gen Z's habits made it harder: 71% discover products via social media, 41% prefer short-form content, and attention is driven by emotion and FOMO rather than static messaging.

How do you keep Gen Z engaged with brand discounts during one of the busiest promotional moments of the year?


THE RESULT
-
+43% increase in click-throughs to retailer sites
-
+36% increase in discounts actually redeemed
-
Students returned repeatedly, confirming the "hook" mechanic worked as intended
-
Created shareable social moments that extended reach organically beyond paid placement
-
Delivered a globally adaptable format, easily localised across regions and languages
"The campaign delivered a strong uplift in click-throughs to brand partner sites, with engagement peaking as new offers were revealed. Its high-energy creative system made the campaign memorable, flexible and easy to refresh across each phase without losing consistency."
Insights into Gen Z's engagement habits shaped a strategy driven by energy, fun and nostalgia built to flex across brands, markets and languages.
HOW WE GOT THERE
-
Gamification: an interactive "sticker book" mechanic made offers feel collectable and time-sensitive
-
Rounds: the campaign unfolded in phases, introducing new colours, products and prizes to reduce fatigue
-
Visual system: bold type, sticker-style offer cards, colour waves, halftone textures and retro football references
-
Modular & global: offer cards, hero graphics and round markers could be swapped and refreshed quickly, translating across languages and markets without losing campaign energy

THE IDEA
Built around a simple behavioural insight: Gen Z engagement increases when content feels fast-moving, playful and reward-led. Rather than presenting offers as static promotions, the strategy reframed them as part of a live, football-inspired experience using anticipation, surprise and FOMO to give users a reason to keep checking back.
