Growing interest and modular releases
To build interest while keeping the YORK® YZ a secret, Godfrey created a landing page that transformed over time. At the beginning, teaser pages hinted at the scale and potential of the approaching launch without giving away its “big reveal.” On the day of the launch, the centerpiece of the site became an interactive, 3D chiller that visitors could manipulate and explore. Virtual hotspots would activate videos explaining the revolutionary technology of the YORK® YZ. The page also included a chiller chat function, where visitors could “talk” to the chiller itself. And the chiller answered with simple responses, video or collateral. Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) as the engine behind the bot, our chiller chat was designed to not only educate users, but act as a lead generation tool. Its friendly interface and helpful persona engaged users and underscored a revolutionary design.

Two separate launch videos brought the tone of a blockbuster movie teaser, building suspense for the approaching YORK® YZ reveal. Ads and emails were launched strategically to build and maintain interest. The rollout itself began with a press webinar and concluded with an impressive debut at the industry’s largest trade event, AHR.
