BBDO Guerrero developed a campaign for Snickers that saw the brand hijack the World Cup finals with the Wrong World Finals. On July 15, the world tuned into the biggest sport event of the year. Snickers wanted to join the celebration but if you aren’t an official sponsor, you can’t mention “World Cup”. So instead, Snickers launched The Wrong World Finals; a social media campaign that features all the matches you might confuse with the big one—a mistake likely made when you are hungry. The campaign launched with a series of posters on social media and was brought to life offline in crowded sports bars around the country. So whether you were #TeamFrance or #TeamCroatia, Snickers made sure you weren’t #TeamHungry.

PROBLEM: The illegal downloading of films is a crime that is hurting the Philippine film industry. 99% of Filipinos who have Wifi access in their homes have committed the crime of piracy by downloading, sharing, or streaming files obtained through illegal means. IDEA: Globe Telecom, the leading purveyor of digital entertainment in the country, wanted to help stop it. How? By committing a crime. Globe Telecom launched Piracy vs Piracy. In December 2017, during the Metro Manila Film Festival. Globe started committing the crime of piracy. The Metro Manila Film Festival is the most popular in the country that showcases original Filipino films. As these films were released in cinemas nationwide, the brand released ten blockbuster Filipino films as illegal downloads and streams. But as each of the films played, viewers saw footage they did not expect to see – a member of the film production crew talking to them and telling them how much time and work went into the film they tried to watch illegally. Directors, producers, gaffers, cameramen and more appealed to Filipino viewers to watch the movie the right way - transforming platforms used for piracy into tools versus piracy. Within hours of uploading, people began to watch the films. And within hours, thousands of people were made to realize that they just took part in a crime. A crime that was stealing from an industry. A crime that was stealing from fellow Filipinos. Film advertisement created by Publicis, Philippines for Globe Telecom, within the category: Electronics, Technology.

This has never rung more true than in this pandemic era with moms working non-stop as mothers and career women from home. And as Mother’s Day approaches, family members try to find all sorts of ways to please mom. But sometimes the best gift to give her is some well-deserved rest.

Launched this week on social media, the film is effectively resonating among families, judging by the engagement it has created.
