Overview

Execution

Two ads were created for TV which mocked up the typical perfume and shampoo adverts aimed at young people in the target market.Through an appeal similar to the style of those messages, a simple strapline is delivered: Buy this attitude. Save energy.Outdoor advertising followed the same route: 3 classic messages; fashion, perfume and shampoo, but with models showing sensitivity to energy-saving, selling an attitude not a product. In addition to the strapline, each creative execution showcases the campaign’s website: compraestaactitud.es (buythisattitude.es)A viral video, a specific version of a format widely- known to the younger public, was created for Internet called “The Light Pong Masters”. It shows a group of young people getting up to all sorts, bouncing ping pong balls off everything imaginable in order to hit light switches and turn off the lights.
