Campaign Brief: Nissan Ski Challenge -
PROVE IT is an innovative and breakthrough application: it is the first social
media iPhone application dedicated to the skiing and snowboarding community.
In addition to promoting the Nissan QASHQAI models, this innovative iPhone application
not only serves the skiers community but also the ski resorts. It succeeds in
creating a live and strong online community and provides users with a real
interactive service, an entertaining and valuable brand experience on their
mobile phone.
The challenge was multi-faceted: support the PROVE IT umbrella campaign not
only in order to raise awareness on Qashqai among its core and wider audience
and to create positive engagement, but also to enable these audiences to
interact among themselves as a robust community – and ultimately develop sales
leads among in-market car buyers.
Nissan takes advantage of all the iPhone functionalities to enable skiers and
snowboarders to keep connected with their friends thanks to the only device
they bring with them on the slopes: their iPhone. They prove the whole skiers
community that there are tough like Qashqai.
* 3D maps of 45 European resorts to locate themselves as well as their friends on
the slopes.
* iPhone users discover the 3D maps of European resorts like Tignes, Chamonix ou
Mayrhofen.
* They can turn around, zoom in, zoom out and resize the maps to locate their
friends directly from the top of the slopes.
The PROVE IT community lives on the slopes. The application is centered around social features to bring digital
entertainment onto the slopes: skiers can share tricks, publish geo-localized
photos, videos and events on the application’s 3D maps and on Facebook, and
send messages to friends or schedule meetings at the closest mountaintop bar.
Record your run and compete with the community LIVE:
The app enables skiers to prove their toughness on the slopes. With a “Record
your run” module, iPhone users can check their performance on 3D maps and
compare it in terms of distance, speed and height with the whole PROVE IT
community. Using the inbuilt GPS function of the iPhone, they can start
recording at the top of a run, stop at the bottom, and then access a detailed
map of their descent, including altitude, distance and speed, displayed on
their iPhone.
Resort Guide
It provides a comprehensive description of all services and hot spots for day
