Bluetooth Relay
11th August 2008    Current rating: 

Topic: Technology

With the Olympics’ Opening Ceremony kicking off today and thousands of spectators packing Beijing to watch the events over the next couple of weeks, the world will be watching. But unlike past games where viewers simply depended on network television and the Internet to keep up with all of the action and advertisers, this time marketers will be leveraging mobile in a variety of unique ways.
 
 
 
Take Coca Cola, for example. The brand will be launching its largest Olympic games push in history and they are doing it with Bluetooth:
 
Pioco, China’s most influential Bluetooth Media company, has wired thousands of hotspots in and around the Olympic stadiums, hotels, restaurants, clubs, cafes and other leisure venues of Beijing and Shanghai to broadcast Coca-Cola Bluetooth video commercials to Bluetooth-enabled cell phones.
 

When Bluetooth- enabled consumers enter a hotspot, they receive a message on their device, asking if they would like to download content from Coca-Cola.

 
Within Beijing, Pioco has built a Bluetooth hotspot network that covers the International Trade Center, Financial District, Zhongguancun commercial district, Wangfujing shopping street and Xidan shopping district, Dongzhimen transportation node, Xizhimen subway area and other transportation hubs around the city. Coca-Cola believes that the campaign will reach consumers even more intuitively than traditional forms of media.
