TV2 Sumo “Movie Guide”
A highly engaging conversational campaign on mobile, using Cavai Bubble.
TV 2 Sumo is a leading streaming service in Norway
But they has an image problem. People perceived them as a streaming service for sports, series, shows, but not for movies. After strengthening their library with over 200 new movies, they wanted to quickly and convincingly get the word out that they were definitely a streaming service to consider in the movie segment too.

In addition to newsletters, bumper ads, traditional media advertising, and static display ads, TV2 Sumo wanted to test out conversational advertising. Whilst most streaming services focus on a couple of premieres, some new offerings, or the occasional montage of content, they don’t really use advertising to help people with the eternal question; “what am I going to watch today?”. A poster ad showing a premiere of a new show works great to raise awareness for that specific show, but people’s tastes are more complex. Some like thrillers, some like comedy, others just want to cry their hearts out. The conversational solution seemed obvious. We advise people on something specific to watch based on what they are in the mood for and let TV2 Sumo shine as the expert on movies.

Using Cavai conversational ad creative, we simply posed the question: “Which movie should you watch?”, “Take the test here!”, and let the conversation do its work. A simple decision tree model let people for example say they were in the mood for something fun, then narrowed into something feel-good, finally stating they wanted something for the whole family. “Then we know just the thing!”. “Head here to check it out!”. The dialogue steered people into a landing page, after a brief conversation.
