VW’s Fun Theory Takes Cyber Grand Prix

Written by Igor Beuker on July 3rd, 2010 | 2 comments

In Cannes Volkswagen’s Fun Theory won a Cyber Grand Prix with honour. One engagement idea led to over 700 user created ideas. A true example of invisible technology and real-time interaction. See the case study…



Fun Theory
promoted Volkswagen’s environmentally friendly engine technology with an integrated effort featuring videos-turned-virals such as Piano Staircase and World’s Deepest Bin.


These efforts ignited a broader appeal within the general public to create their own acts that turned mundane, good-for-you tasks into other fun experiences. I suggest you take a good look at the site: funtheory.com or the Facebook page.

The jury existed of jury president Jeff Benjamin, co-chief creative officer of Crispin Porter & Bogusky, led the panel. The campaign was created by DDB Stockholm.

The user created winning ideas:

Bottle Bank Arcade – TheFunTheory.com

Piano Stairs – TheFunTheory.com



The world’s deepest bin – Thefuntheory.com
