The challenge was to remind teens milk is a great addition to their snacks when they’re relaxing at home. However when teens are relaxing at home they aren’t exposed to most traditional media channels. They spend a lot of time watching online videos so we created a cartoon webseries called “Snack Time.” It’s a fun, quick and irreverent show about a carton of milk named ‘Carlton’ and his friends who all happen to be snacks that taste great with milk.

For young people, 17-24, smoking represents empowerment, a sense of being in control of one’s life. The mandate is to sensitize them to the fact that, in reality, it is the tobacco industry that is in control of their lives, and this through strategies to create a dependency on its products. We created a campaign using an unlikely theme that nonetheless resonates strongly with the target group: romantic relationships. In the end, the entire campaign, which includes a short film, sheds light on the insidious and sly nature of cigarette addiction.

See all the videos here. Our objective was to increase sales of milk within a cynical teenage demographic by helping make it more socially acceptable. We wanted to make milk cool. Knowing that traditional 30-second television commercials would be lost on our jaded, media-soaked audience, we created quick, fun, and strangely animated mini-commercials called “Dot Spots” that each highlighted a single health benefit of milk in only five seconds. To date, we have created nearly 200 of these individual Dot Spots, keeping the campaign continually fresh and unexpected.
