Astro created the World’s Longest Online Banner in conjunction with Astro On-The-Go’s “Where do YOU want Astro On-The-Go contest” which encouraged Astro On-The-Go users to show off their most creative locations they would love to enjoy Astro On-The Go.
The “Where do YOU want Astro On-The-Go contest” ran from July to August 2012 as a promotional effort for Astro On-The-Go, Astro’s latest innovative service delivering non-stop entertainment anytime, anywhere via smartphones, tablets and laptops.
Participants who shared their photos to garner votes and increase their chances of winning the contest helped spread awareness & interest in the product.

Amongst the unique initiatives as part of the Astro On-The-Go campaign is the one of a kind Astro On-The-Go Human iPad theatre. The Astro On-The-Go theather is an exceptional marriage of digital and on-ground initiative comprising of iPads and a mini flash mob all synced to create a mini theater featuring various key genres offered on Astro On-The-Go.
The Astro On-The-Go Human-iPad theatres showcases Astro On-The-Go to the Malaysian public by bringing the experience to them, no matter where they are, and in an innovative, fun & impactful way.
