The challenge

To keep the interest of the media towards products distributed by Sony Hungary and maintain the trust of consumers, using only classical PR tools on a competitive market, in the shadow of international news, questioning Sony’s stability as a company.

The Hungarian management declined to react on international news, while competitors’ communication started to be increasingly fierce. A significant cut in the PR budget also made it more challenging to uphold the reputation of the company and the demand for its products.

The solution

We ensured the flow of information with localized press releases about new Sony products and PlayStation games. In addition to central press releases, we focused on getting the word out about the news and activities of the local company, as well as targeting media outlets that are not technology centred with diverse press materials. In order to have quality information for press releases, we often participated in omnibus researches, representative to the Hungarian population or internet users.

When organizing press events, we always strived to create a program that is unique and informative at the same time. This is why we chose the newly opened Budapest Music Center as a location to introduce a notebook series with exceptional audio qualities, or the TV studio of a popular celebrity transformation show (Sztárban sztár) to showcase products that could be turned from a notebook into a tablet with one simple move. At smaller workshops, we offered the most optimal setting for testing the products, accompanied by exciting culinary experiences. Our agency organized the launch event of PlayStation4 without a budget: the location and technical equipment were provided by Sony’s commercial partner, while celebrities (rappers Majka and Curtis, actor Győző Szabó, show host Levente Harsányi) agreed to participate in exchange for a PlayStation device.

We targeted different audiences with product tests: those who are interested in technical specifications through IT magazines, and the average consumer through lifestyle magazines and newspapers.
