An invitation they answer back.

A follow-up to the anniversary campaign — a bigger, interactive invitation to Erste Bank’s 200th-birthday party at the O2 arena, where every employee could confirm their attendance right inside a personalized video. CEO Tomáš Salomon returned for an encore.

01 — The task

The brief was to prepare a bigger, broader follow-up campaign — a personalized invitation to Erste Bank’s corporate celebration of its 200th anniversary at the O2 arena. The primary goal was to have employees confirm their attendance and gather additional answers through a built-in questionnaire.

CEO Tomáš Salomon, who had headlined the first successful project, could not be missing from this one either. The invitation had to carry the momentum of the first campaign while asking each recipient to actively respond — turning a video into a two-way conversation.

02 — Our solution

We shot new footage and layered in personalized and interactive elements — including a live-feeling chat with the viewer. The key element was an interactive questionnaire in which employees could confirm their attendance at the party, then move through a series of questions: choice of transport, help with the trip, and a competition question at the very end of the evening.

The aim was to capture a live reaction from viewers, and it worked — the questionnaire dynamically moved the story forward, and every answer was stored instantly in the CRM. The campaign drew very positive responses from employees, leadership, and across social media, cementing the value of personalized video in internal communications.
