Short explanation

“Sneezebox” - interactive outdoor event that surprised, entertained and educated the citizens of Gothenburg.

The aim: encourage people to take a flu vaccination.

In the booth, in shopping centres, was a touchscreen with a sickly looking actor prompting the user to click a button. On clicking, a hidden hydraulic pump sprayed an 80/20 air-water solution at the unsuspecting person.

The user then saw a message: “Next time it could be real – get your flu vaccination”. Startled reactions were recorded and, with permission, uploaded to a campaign site.

Results: 2000% site traffic increase; 600 films uploaded; 2500 flu vaccines performed.
