Hamburg, Germany – June 3, 2025 – In a world saturated with digital noise, one company at this year’s OMR Festival cut through the clutter with a surprisingly analog approach: the humble cassette tape. But this wasn’t a nostalgic gimmick. AI training company Snipki leveraged the power of 80s nostalgia to deliver a hyper-personalized marketing experience that’s turning heads and redefining what’s possible with AI-driven campaigns.
The campaign generated over 1,000 qualified leads with a conversion rate considerably above industry average, proving that the perfect blend of emotional connection and data-driven personalization is a winning formula.
From Cassette to Custom Landing Page: A Blast From the Past Meets Cutting-Edge Tech
Forget flashy VR demos and interactive installations.Snipki distributed over 1,000 real music cassettes at OMR, a medium most attendees likely associate with childhood memories.Each cassette featured a QR code – a intentional juxtaposition that sparked curiosity.
Scanning the code didn’t lead to a generic website. Instead, it transported visitors to a fully personalized landing page designed in the iconic aesthetic of Windows 95. Imagine seeing your name, your company logo, and even a song generated by AI specifically for you. That’s the “wow” factor Snipki delivered.
