Description

Brief

Promote The Carphone Warehouse’s sponsorship of The X Factor by forging an engaging and fun link with the show.

Solution

The Carphone Warehouse is giving viewers another opportunity to show off their singing talents with The Carphone Warehouse X Factor Challenge. Viewers can record one of eight classic tracks from Madonna’s ‘Like a Virgin’ to Culture Club’s ‘Karma Chameleon’ or Spice Girls ‘Wannabe’.  There are more ways to enter than ever this year for a chance to appear on TV during the show’s ad breaks.  As well as recording their entry via the Freephone number, viewers can enter online using their computer microphone at www.carphonewarehouse.com/xfactor

 

There is a new twist in the website experience this year where users can create their own character which gets animated and combined with their voice recording to create a truly unique performance. Here people can rate their favourite, wackiest and funniest performances from others, send their own attempts on to their friends and upload their recordings to their facebook page.
