Phase 1: Teaser

The Strategic Approach

Recognizing the transformative potential of interactivity in product launches, we integrated an engaging teaser for the Apex Series launch. Understanding that interactive content garners superior engagement compared to static images drove our approach to actively engage the audience from the outset.


The Frosted Window Pane

The Phase 1 approach, the "Frosted Window Pane," was a captivating and interactive teaser for the Apex Series. Accessible on both desktop and mobile platforms, this feature allowed users to actively participate in the unveiling process, creating an experience that left a lasting impression. Visitors were presented with a view through a frosted window pane, concealing an image of the new Apex series. By using a swipe or pointer interaction, users could melt away the frost, gradually revealing the lineup behind. This engaging feature not only intrigued the audience but also created a memorable and shareable experience, building anticipation for the full reveal.

Secrecy as a strategic shield

During this phase, maintaining secrecy around specific elements added an extra layer of anticipation and mystery. This guarded approach effectively heightened curiosity surrounding the Apex Series announcement, building excitement and setting the stage for the full unveiling.
