OVERVIEW

Background Text

The picture of masculine success is skewed in today's world. Traditional notions of masculine success are focused mostly on superficial things like material wealth and professional ambition. This is an outdated and harmful way of viewing “the picture of men”. Because the way the media paints men does not resonate and reflect how they see themselves. There is a disconnect between men's private, real aspirations and the public images of masculine success they encounter. It's time to hear the voices of individuals and acknowledge that there isn't a singular model of what masculine success is. We aim to redefine success by showcasing diverse, authentic stories of what truly makes individuals feel successful and fulfilled.

Describe the creative idea/insights

Our creative idea starts from YouCubes, modern confessional booths created in collaboration with YouTube. These booths will be placed in iconic locations worldwide, such as Times Square, the Eiffel Tower, and Piccadilly Circus. They provide a private space for individuals to share authentic stories about masculine success and what it means to be a man today.

Designed to be inviting and comfortable, the YouCubes ensure people feel safe and supported while sharing their stories. They also aim to draw attention and spark interest and conversation in their locations. Each booth will be equipped with recording equipment to capture these heartfelt confessions, which will later be edited into powerful video content.

To amplify our message, we are partnering with influencers/celebrities known for promoting positive messages about masculinity. By sharing their personal stories, we redefine masculine success and showcase diverse voices and experiences.

Describe the strategy

We will innovatively use media to redefine perceptions of masculine success. It transforms how we use media by setting up YouCubes as landmarks. These installations serve two main purposes: they grab public attention as a media stunt and provide spaces for people to openly share their views on masculinity and success.

We will boldly take over the homepage of YouTube during International Men’s Day. YouTube is a crucial hub for our target audience, especially Gen Z men who rely on it for most of their content and information. This move aims to engage viewers powerfully and ensure they can't miss our message.

The content captured in the YouCubes will be edited into thought-provoking advertisements. These materials will be optimized for 360 media and distributed across all channels to ensure widespread visibility and engagement. We will saturate the media landscape, ensuring that our campaign resonates deeply and sparks meaningful conversations globally.

Describe the execution

The campaign execution begins with the installation of YouCubes, modern confessional booths placed strategically in iconic global locations like Times Square, the Eiffel Tower, and Piccadilly Circus. These booths are equipped to capture authentic stories and thoughts on masculinity and success, serving as both physical landmarks and spaces for individuals to share their true feelings, sparking immediate attention. Collaborating with top influencers amplifies this impact.

Phase 2 involves a bold move as we take over the YouTube homepage on International Men's Day. Here, we unveil video content from the YouCube confessions, presenting diverse perspectives on modern masculinity and success.

In Phase 3, we maximize impact by disseminating this content across all media channels. Through strategic distribution and engagement initiatives, we aim to raise global awareness, provoke conversations, and challenge outdated stereotypes, ultimately redefining societal norms around masculinity and celebrating individual paths to fulfillment.
