mCanvas in collaboration with Merkle Sokrati has created a mobile ad for Canon India’s Mirrorless Camera

mCanvas in collaboration with Merkle Sokrati, a Dentsu Group agency has created a rich-media mobile ad for Canon India’s Mirrorless Camera, EOS M200. Using cutting-edge technology like sound recognition, the ad is engaging users effectively and is creating a lasting impression. 

Canon, the world leader in imaging technologies, wanted to popularize its mirrorless camera – the EOS M200, a smart, connected, lightweight Mirrorless camera, designed for the social media influencer who desires to deliver high quality content. Coupling its best in-class features with the ability to send images to smart devices instantaneously, the camera is the optimal choice for users who need to manage visual content on the go.  

The brand wanted to engage with its audience in a way that would evoke the influencer in them while subtly convincing them to switch to the EOS M200 to create stunning photo and video content, and simultaneously increasing awareness about the product. It was thus imperative for mCanvas to create an ad that positioned the camera as the ultimate solution to create drool-worthy content for social media.

In order to fulfil the brand’s objective, the expandable ad opens to the impactful copy ‘Does the influencer in you want to create better?’, with visuals of emojis. The ad then transitions to the next screen, with the copy ‘Don’t fear, we have you covered!’, along with an instruction to ‘Tap Here & Blow to Uncover’ at the bottom of the screen. On blowing into the phone’s microphone, a bunch of emojis fly upwards covering the entire screen, revealing the EOS M200 camera and the brand’s messaging. Additionally, a carousel displays the product’s features and CTA ‘Register Now’, directing users to the brand’s landing page, where they are asked to enter their details to proceed with the purchase of the product. 

Reaching over 2.9 million users, the campaign is witnessing an impressive engagement rate of 1.9%, which is over 9 times the 0.20% industry average for mobile banners. Users are spending whopping 11 seconds, on an average, engaging with the ad.

C Sukumaran, Director, Consumer System Products & Imaging Communication Products, Canon India said, “The Canon EOS M200 is specially designed for social media influencers, to help them produce engaging and quality content. For the same,
