Execution

Well, how to do this? It is quite easy:The solution: Equipping the most exposed.We provide the most famous statues with red scarves. These statues are perfect for our purposes, as they are the only ones to endure all winter long freezing temperatures. The red scarf becomes the ultimate teaser. Stickers attached to every statue strengthen the connection between brand & scarf: Grippostad C – strong against fluEverybody sees it, everybody interacts with it. And due to a sampling everybody wears the red scarf of Grippostad C.

Strategy

March 2011: It is freezing cold in Germany. When you look around, you see thick scarves, everybody is sneezing and coughing. The good news: There is Grippostad C – one of the best flu medicines. But: We have two strong competitors, both with a much higher Share of Advertising.

Our advantage: We are the only ones with a strong and eye-catching key visual – a red scarf. However, when people see a red scarf, most of them would think of catching a cold, but wouldn’t think of Grippostad C right on the spot. They don’t link the key visual to the brand.Our challenge: Making the red scarf synonymous with Grippostad C.
