Mike’s In A Beer World

 

In South America, beer is king and It’s practically impossible to compete with beer brands’ massive marketing budgets.

So to launch Mike’s in new countries we realized we didn’t have to fight beer, we just needed to tag along.

And that’s exactly what we did.

We “crashed” the biggest beer ads. Then we shot our ads in the middle of their ads.

Pete’s Fridge Live

 

Hellmann’s is all about making the most of leftovers. Their 2023 Super Bowl commercial took place inside of Pete Davidson’s fridge.

To drum up excitement, we did the most weird thing we’ve done to date. A leftover giveaway.

We live streamed Pete’s fridge on Instagram and gave away his leftovers.

 
 

Since the actual live stream was 20min long, here’s some highlights.

When Things Go Wrong

 

DNA is the boss who controls different processes in a happy and well oiled machine that’s your body. But if you vape, DNA gets damaged and that’s when things go wrong.

Stay Home Of The Whopper

 

At the beginning of the pandemic, we didn’t want to do another “unprecedented times” ad.

We had a simpler message to Americans.

Do the least you can for your country, stay home. Be a Couch Po-ta-triot.

Awkward Silence

 

Vaping is highly addictive but teens don’t seem to care. So to warn them, we showed how it could affect other parts of their life.

No Yada Yada

 

Mike’s is simple, lemonade and vodka. And that’s pretty much it. It doesn’t try too hard to be something it’s not. So when we were tasked to launch the brand globally, we didn’t try too hard either.

A global launch with no fancy BS and for a fraction of the cost.

 
 
 
 

A big celeb endorsement? We got one, a meme one.

 
 
 
 
 

Splashy parties? NO.

Instead of a launch-party, we found a way to bring Harold to every single NYE party in the world. We put him on the TV in the background.
