Diesel-brand 55DSL Launches in India With an FWA Site of the Day Nomination and Over 5
Million Impressions
55DSL is the fresh, young spin-off of the iconic Italian fashion brand Diesel. The
brand launched its presence in India with the campaign "Paint Your Town" recently. To
unleash its digital presence, 55DSL partnered with Brandmovers India to launch a visually
appealing and thought-provoking Twitter campaign and micro site built around the concept
of "55 Seconds To Live".
Using the hashtag #55SecondsToLive, users tweeted about what they would do if they had
55 seconds to live. Within the first hour of launch, #55SecondsToLive was a trending topic
across India and continued for the next three days. The associated micro site has
generated over five million media impressions to date and a FWA (Favorite Website Award)
nomination within the first week.
All #55SecondsToLive tweets painted a virtual graffiti wall on a micro site, unlocking
various 55DSL merchandise prizes. To date, the micro site has had more than 6,000 unique
visitors who stick around for 1.30 minutes on average.
