Idea
Haters around the world are constantly posting painful comments on social media.
And teenagers are the most affected group, sometimes suffering from depression or even tragic endings.
As one of their closest brands, we got involved in the conversation by giving them a new speech, and new tools to act against the aggression, under the concept: “It’s haters season. Stay fresh”.
Strategy
In order get into teens culture we partnered with influencers and celebrities and use their media channels to spread the message under the platform #ILOVEYOUHATER
We also developed a series of content culturally relevant to create WOM and get impact on the media for free.
Execution
The campaign is composed of several content:
-"I LOVE YOU HATER" documentary, with which we started the conversation on social media.
And different media channels covered it for free.
We partnered with local and international musicians created new songs using their own haters’ comments. Showing that by staying fresh, and having fun, you can neutralize any kind of aggression.
Also, World Champion pole dancer Alberto del Campo, created a choreography based on his haters’ comments, and danced to the sound of the hater’s voice.
And thanks to big data analysis, we found the biggest Argentinean hater and put him face to face with his victims in a unique social experiment.
The campaign was massively shared globally.
