360-degree views for Deakin Uni’s mobile campaign

Graham Christie, group commercial director and partner at Big Mobile said: “Prospective university students want to see what life’s like on the campus before they commit and we’re now able to let them experience what Deakin is all about by using their mobile phones. 

"We work closely with creative and media agencies to deliver pioneering brand experiences via mobile and tablet and this is a great example of that sort of collaboration." 

Matt Hunt, media and strategy director at CumminsRoss added: “Deakin University's Open Day '360 degree campus tour explorer' saw us work closelywith Big Mobile to co-create a unique format. Connecting the dots on our existing access to Deakin's Google Business Places 360 degree images, the standard iPhone and Android accelerometer functionality and the expertise of our mobile partner in Big Mobile saw an Australian first mobile advertising format.”
