Let’s start a movement. It’s about time! Research shows people are happiest when they maintain good relationships, but who has the time? It turns out we all do. We spend hours of personal time glued to screens each day. And it adds up. To days, weeks, years that could be spent a more fulfilling way—with each other.
With this insight, W2O helped launch the Make Time™ movement, to inspire us all to unplug and hang out with those who matter most to us.
We filmed interviews with real people about how they spend time, their lack of it and what gets sacrificed. The results were shocking (just watch the video!) and led to commitments to change behavior and #MakeTime.
We created long-form and teaser videos, targeted ads for Facebook and Instagram, collaborated on www.MakeTime.us with Kraftwerk Design, activated influencers, and helped concept the internal rollout. In 2 weeks, the video was viewed over 10,000 times on Facebook and Instagram, with over 9,000 teaser views.
#MakeTime was a natural for Wente, which has always been committed to bringing people together—over a glass of wine or on-site winery experiences. This initiative drives a brand connection that sparks curiosity, and will ultimately increase sales.

FRS needed a big boost. They had great products formulated to provide sustained energy from natural ingredients. But a failed attempt to expand and pricey athlete endorsements had sapped their strength. W2O was called in to help with a make or break brand re-launch.
W2O conducted online analytics to better understand FRS fans. This determined that the most important product benefit was long-lasting energy, so we shifted positioning from energy for fitness, to enduring energy for success. It would also work for future audience expansion, to enduring energy for everyday life.
We tested 3 high-performing campaigns before launching one that taps into a winning feeling: Today, I own this.
Also critical, was a complete rethinking of the FRS website to tell a story visitors would care about and make purchase easier. Content became more user-focused so people can quickly see how FRS science benefits them, and share their personal successes. And we drove purchase by making the site more intuitive and streamlining the number of clicks.
