OVERVIEW

Background

The Epica yogurt brand is number one in the Russian market.

They came to us with the task of making something entertaining and fresh without any references. They needed a youtube-based project at the intersection of advertising music and film industry.

Objectives:

- Brand or Product Integration into popular Music Content

- Organic celebrity involvement

- The creation of the film series content impossible without brand participation and band producing

- Increasing brand loyalty

- 3 000 000 core audience reach

Idea

We decided to make a music film series. The first collaboration between the FMCG brand and Music Label . As a result, we created 5 fresh music videos for the fresh bands and 40 minutes long musical for the brand.

Strategy

According to the legend, EPICA yogurt turned to Ivan Dorn for creating a script for this musical.

We started with a hot and weird teaser with a pop superstar in a yogurt bath.

Then we placed all pieces of content in a special new youtube channel and Instagram account @themostepicday (including backstage, interviews, and photos).

Then we released a full video.

Execution

Initially, we created a special shortlist for label artists from more than 20 compositions and jointly chose five directors. One of the clips as an experiment agreed to remove the label creator - famous pop star Ivan Dorn. Then the directors chose compositions for themselves together with Epica, thought through the story inside the clips and how to combine all of them into a single whole - the most epic day. This time it was important for us to show epic in a new, non-standard form.

The scale of the project is worldwide: the collaboration between the German company, Russian creative production, and Ukranian music label. The project was filmed in 5 countries: USA, Georgia, Turkey, Ukraine, Russia.

Outcome

The results measured the impact of each video on the audience, saw the portrait of the project audience - men aged 18-34 years.

6 148 293 organic views on Youtube.

Over 10 000 followers in a new Instagram account.

Retention of the audience on the channel more than 50% on short videos. 20 261 reposts. The main thing is organic comments and discussions, a positive tone for the communication of the audience.
