Overview

Background

Sprite, known for keeping people cool during summer, needed to expand its appeal for year-round growth. Research showed that 'moments away from home' presented an opportunity for consumption, to reinforce Sprite's message of staying cool.

Sprite's primary objective was to increase weekly consumption among Gen Z by engaging with them and positioning the brand as a light-hearted reminder to stay cool. In a world where attention is everything, we needed to create something both visually distinct for the brand as well as the category.

Execution

The use of contrasting heat-mapped figures creates a striking visual that immediately draws the viewer's eye and communicates the campaign's core message of "staying cool in moments of heat." Moreover, the art direction successfully incorporates elements of humour and cultural relevance, demonstrating a deep understanding of the target market. By highlighting the often-unspoken tensions people face in relatable yet unusual scenarios, it blends visual storytelling with cultural insights to create a compelling and effective campaign.

Outcome

Our placements targeted our Gen Z audience across Mexico and Malaysia, reaching them on their commutes and out and about in their daily lives. The unusual and cut-through imagery of our campaign stood out across 180 media placements in both OOH and DOOH formats.
