Kamppi | Finland's Premier mall 10x'd its impact with a truly phygital video selling experience

The brief

After the Christmas and New Year rush, Kamppi Helsinki mall sees reduced footfall and lower revenues. The management wanted to showcase some of the new attractions of the mall during the winter months and encourage online and in-person shopping.

"We decided to experiment with livestream shopping during the peak of winter, which is typically a low phase after festive season. Our customers were staying home due to cold weather and it was the perfect time to try an online event that our customers would enjoy."
