Overview

Description

The purpose of the campaign was to create differentiation for ACCIONA’s message and vision at a time when worldwide financial uncertainty is being compounded by doubts about the soundness and viability of our entire system, leading to the need to re-think and review everything considered valid to date.In that context, it was necessary to “Re_Accionar” (re-act) and launch a campaign calling for reflection and social awareness to create a shared sense of responsibility for the future. And we found that, counterbalancing the countless obstacles, mistakes, defunct systems, pessimism, etc., by placing a “re” in front of anything we can emphasize “return to, redo, start anew, change, re-focus,”etc., and call for a “re-birth” of our understanding of business and the socioeconomic structures of the twenty-first century.

Execution

• The use of an advertising campaign (both outdoor and in the printed media) launched in three stages, two expectation stages and a revelation stage. This is something that has never been done before and it had great success in raising public interest even before the launch.• A TV campaign, based on an exclusive one-day launch (2nd of November, at the time with the highest audience) later moving to the Internet.• The Internet as a key medium, in accordance with the campaign’s revolutionary spirit. With the creation of innovative elements never before used in Spain, brand new formats on YouTube, the creation of a Brandchannel, the promotion of viral dissemination by means of GoViral, the creation of a Facebook profile and, of course, the setup of a landing page www.acciona.es..• As well as the generic campaign actions, RE_ was complemented with two very special activities
