Campaign Objective

To help address “data poverty” during the holidays by distributing free mobile data to those in need, while raising awareness of O2’s National Databank initiative.

Campaign Story

Campaign Story

Virgin Media O2 launched a heartwarming Christmas campaign called “The Snowgran” featuring an elderly woman reconnected via free data. Central to the campaign, 300,000 special O2 Christmas SIM cards were produced with a snowflake-themed QR code. Scanning the QR led users to an O2 landing page where they could apply for a free 7GB data voucher (for themselves or to give away). The SIMs were available in stores and online, ensuring that those hit by the cost-of-living crisis could easily get connected at no cost over the festive period.
