BIG SKY BONUS CAMPAIGN

With some of the best odds of any Montana Lottery game, Big Sky Bonus needed to raise awareness about the potential to play this exciting progressive game every day. To emphasize the connection between Big Sky Bonus and its players, we personified the numbers that made Montanans winners. Through the media campaign, our series of number characters spoke to audiences about how hard these digits work to make them happy. When Montanans won big, the numbers felt as though they did, too. After being introduced on social media and starring in commercials, the quirky, affable characters quickly won the hearts of viewers and persuaded them to try their own luck with Big Sky Bonus.

There’s a lot to be excited about when it comes to Big Sky Bonus, including the fact that the game is daily, designed specifically for Montanans, and has some of the best odds of any Montana Lottery game. Consequently, the campaign for Big Sky Bonus needed to be edgy and eye-catching to highlight these perks. By developing a series of characters, each associated with a numeral, we brought Big Sky Bonus to life. Through TV, radio, digital, and social avenues, our numbers spoke to audiences about how hard these digits work to make them happy. When Montanans won big, the numbers felt as though they did, too. After being introduced on social media and starring in commercials, the quirky, affable characters quickly won the hearts of viewers (and persuaded them to try their luck with Big Sky Bonus).
