The Hire II Film Series (2002)

Remember those cool BMW online short films with Clive Owen as the "Driver" in 2001 and 2002? Did you know these videos increased sales for BMW by 12%? Working with Fallon, we developed the interactive strategy for The Hire II, and the interactive experience for this groundbreaking online entertainment/marketing experience. What a huge success!

This triggered one of the Web's first viral phenomena - the movies were viewed over 11 million times in four months. Two million people registered with the web site and the majority of these users sent links to their friends and family. All this 4 years before YouTube was even launched.

  • Client: Fallon Interactive / BMW Films
  • Website: The interactive site was closed in 2007 after 5 years, but you can still see the films on YouTube.

Love The Ride.

"The new site gives our customers more detailed product information, increased functionality, and a new, fresh aesthetic. We have the best URL in the business with Bikes.com and our new site does it justice. We had lots of great options of local firms to work with, but we chose Work At Play because they are world leaders in online customer engagement and shared the same vision of our brand.”
