Overview

Execution

We convinced MTV to create 10” spots, featuring youth describing “pleasure you can’t measure” moments. Back covers of daily free-press newspapers (mainly read during morning commute) featured witty headlines such as “Go back to Bed”, “Pickpocket Strike” and “Next Stop: Marrakech”. Full page in lifestyle magazines with “Loot an Outlet” message facing fashion content. Product sampling during key football matches and in hangout areas utilising fully wrapped smart cars.

Outcome

Mars achieved #1 top of mind, sales went up 50% on impulse. Moreover, we designed a bespoke methodology to account for the overall media effectiveness and found that people exposed to the whole mix had 93% higher UBA against those exposed to TV only, thus defeating client’s belief that “TV only works”.
