Background The pandemic has left a lot of Filipinos feeling stuck and unproductive. They also felt a general loss of control. The internet, though essential, was seen as nothing more than an escape - a means to endlessly scroll through social media or consume passive content. Brand Role Globe Telecommunications not only offers high-speed and reliable Wifi and data plans. It also offers various services, devices, and technology that help its consumers in various ways. The brand wanted to help Filipinos take back control and realize the power to reinvent themselves and their worlds was literally in the palm of their hands. Idea Globe launched the Reinvent Your World campaign with a pop group that proved to the world that reinvention can lead to opportunities you never thought possible - BlackPink. They starred in a music video that not only sang about reinventing one’s world but showed how technology could help one do so.

In 2016, Wendy’s launched three new branches in the Philippines: BGC Stopover, 6789 Ayala Avenue, and a renovated Greenbelt 1 branch. Wendy’s decided to disrupt how people normally decide where to eat, through a creative incentive for potential store visitors. Using Facebook Live, a newly-launched feature at the time, the brand came up with a live stream game of Finders Keepers, telling Facebook fans that if they could guess the Wendy’s locations and find the burger, they could keep it.

McDonald’s “Himbing”: A Lullabye for Mother’s Day Motherhood is a full-time job, they say. 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. This is the reminder in Leo Burnett Manila and McDonald’s Philippines’ online film “Himbing” which features mothers in slumber while a poignant arrangement of Brahms’ Lullaby plays. Launched this week on social media, the film is effectively resonating among families, judging by the engagement it has created.
