This makes its tally of awards to a total of 5 in the last six months, with the previous two awards being MOBBY's and one in MMA SMARTIES India. The two IAMAI Awards won by netCORE were for the categories of Best Mobile Voice Advertising or Marketing Campaign for Hindustan Unilever Ltd. - Active Wheel and Best Digital Integrated Campaign for India Against Corruption. The Hindustan Unilever's Active Wheel campaign was aimed at reaching consumers in towns and villages with a population of less than 10 thousand. The mobile medium helped reach these consumers by using a tool as simple as missed calls. On giving a missed call to the advertised toll-free number, consumers received a voice call-back with humorous and engaging content from a repository. There was an element of surprise interweaved with the fresh content every time they called, which got these consumers excited, and resulted in multiple calls from them. This campaign has become HUL's most successful marketing campaign for mobile in the entire Asia Pacific region. Recent results from 3rd party research have shown that close to 84% people touched by the campaign, even months after the campaign, associated the Wheel brand with the campaign, and there was a 95% increase in spontaneous awareness of Wheel after the campaign. The India Against Corruption Campaign launched gained enormous support for its anti-corruption movement through viral marketing. The campaign was launched with a missed call number to garner responses which was advertised on website and social media. The campaign reached out to 80 million people through SMS campaign and received 25 million missed calls within 180 days. It grew virally with each person forwarding 3 SMSes on an average to their friends, acquaintances and relatives. netCORE had previously won awards at Mobby's 2012 and Smarties India 2012 for Colgate Active Salt Taste Challenge 2012.
