Objectives
In numbers: To increase the percent of Yahoo! users to set Yahoo! as their
homepage.
In perception: I’m inspired to makeYahoo! the place I start my internet journey every day.
The Creative Challenge
Yahoo! is the original .com start-up, the first internet site that made sense at scale of the sprawling mass that is the internet.The core element of this success is the Yahoo! homepage. In a single page it is able to capture the most important things you need in your daily internet life - to communicate, to find out, to explore. Google and Facebook are now more popular homepages - so there is now a need to inspire our users, particularly those new to the internet, about to set an email address for the first time, to again setYahoo! as their homepage.
A dry list of benefits is not going to persuade them - but beautiful, engaging, fun, digital creative, illustrating those benefits just might.This work should be able to appear onYahoo! and across tablet, mobile and desktop as a minimum - but the brief is open to exploring new ways (particularly digital) to reach our target audience. These may be ways that everyone’s been ignoring for years, are unfashionable,
or simply bonkers - but our target audience set a high bar for their attention daily and we need to meet it.
Target Audience
13-18 year olds.
They are getting a smartphone for the first time, they have ready access to a tablet - even if its through school.They love and use Facebook,Twitter and Instagram in that order (and need an email address to use them).They’re already adept at filtering the multiple messages that they’ve been sent since they were born, chopping, making their own, shifting between different personas online and offline, with their friends and family. Authenticity is key.
