The agency boasts that the ‘Dream factory’ is a first-to-market web-based approach using revolutionary facial recognition technology  to deliver a fun and engaging experience, while educating users on the device’s various features and capabilities.

As part of One2free’s strategy to build a strong social networking community, users can access the game via One2free Facebook fan page and the Sina Hong Kong platform and its dedicated site, where a viral competition is taking place.

To drive partipation, the print campaign offers an exclusive game code distributed with Metropop magazine that gives users additional time for the competition.

The game’s facial recognition software functions as the main engine of the game to drive users from one level to the next, and the ultimate goal is to ‘catch’ as many apps and feature icons as possible in the shortest timeframe.

One2free will award the top three winners with free HTC Desire HD phones when the competition ends on 29 December.

TBWA has been working on CSL account for last 18 months.
