Snickers: Hungerithm
Snickers created the "Hungerithm" in Australia, where the price of Snickers dynamically dropped in 7-Eleven stores based on real-time internet anger levels. By linking social media sentiment to product pricing, Snickers turned online emotions into a unique marketing strategy that drove significant sales and engagement.
TAC: Meet Graham
To combat desensitization to shock advertising, the TAC created Graham, an interactive, anatomically exaggerated sculpture showing how the human body would need to evolve to survive a low-impact crash, sparking global conversation and visceral understanding of human vulnerability on the road.
Bonds: The Boys
Bonds, an Australian underwear brand, created a humorous campaign that personifies body parts as comedic characters to highlight the comfort and moisture-wicking properties of their underwear. By using absurd, anthropomorphic dialogue between body parts experiencing discomfort during swimming, the campaign creatively demonstrates how Bonds underwear solves common moisture and chafing problems in a memorable and entertaining way.
NAB: Stand Ins
NAB created 'Stand-ins' - bankers who literally replaced footy fans at their game-day duties, allowing them to attend the AFL Grand Final. This ingenious service not only helped fans but also generated massive, authentic social media and broadcast attention, dominating the day by not being a traditional sponsor.
Carlton Draught: Slow Motion
Carlton Draught created a humorous slow-motion advertisement that exaggerates the visual appeal of men in slow motion, playfully suggesting that everything looks cooler and more attractive when filmed in slow motion. The brand used comedic visual storytelling to capture audience attention and entertain viewers while subtly promoting their beer brand during a sporting event.
VB: The Regulars
The campaign celebrates diverse, uniquely Australian male archetypes, uniting them under the banner of VB, positioning the beer as the common thread that binds all "regulars" regardless of their quirks, fostering a sense of inclusive camaraderie.
