A launch campaign for Super-Pharm’s second ‘Beauty Vlogger Academy’ by BBR Saatchi & Saatchi

Super-Pharm, the leading beauty cosmetics retailer in Israel launched its second “Beauty Vlogger Academy”. An academy which will form, shape and instruct Israel’s next generation of beauty vloggers.

Unlike in other parts of the world, where there are many YouTubers women can turn to for advice on how to create the latest look, in Israel there are but a handful of beauty YouTubers. That’s why Super-Pharm decided to fill in the gap and launch a search for Israel’s next big “Beauter”.

The commercial we created for the launch of the search, was inspired by the shape of the YouTube video frame and took several months of planning. The reason is that most of the action revolves around seven different frames which were hand crafted out of paper and cardboard. To complicate things further, we added to each frame elements such as cogs, folding concertinas, led lights and more which made the production challenging as they had to be hand operated on the set and the actress had to react to them on cue.

But hey, who wouldn’t go the extra mile for aesthetics right!?

Mazda : Don’t Scroll And Drive by BBR Saatchi & Saatchi

Interesting Things, International, , , , , , , , , , , , no comments

“Distracted driving” is what they call it.

It’s a treacherous innocuous name – meant to cover anything from taking your eyes off the road to check your baby hasn’t chocked on his pacifier,
right down to taking your eyes off the road to scroll down your Facebook feed and check who’s liked your latest profile pic.
And let’s be honest, that happens way more often than anything else.
But worst of all it’s killing people. Lots of them.

That’s why Mazda decided to launch a new campaign: smack in the middle of people’s social feed,  right as they were scrolling down it.

Watch the Facebook special post here:

And take it from us: when you drive, leave the phone alone.

BBR Saatchi & Saatchi Proudly presents a Presidential Charter

Interesting Things, International, , , , , , , , , , , no comments

In a bold move spearheaded by Baumann Ber Rivnay / Saatchi & Saatchi,  Israeli President Mr. Reuven Rivlin together with children puts the Israeli advertising industry’s typecasting practices to shame and urges it to change for the benefit of all Israeli society.

Israel is a melting pot. A country of immigrants who came from many different countries and cultures. A country where East meets West. A country where Ashkenazi Jews (from western countries), Sephardic Jews (from Arab countries), Ethiopian Jews, Arabs and Christian coexist but do not always do so on an equal standing. And while Israel is a country loaded with baggage on discrimination (having experienced it firsthand),  we are ashamed to say we are a country in which bias and prejudice still exists.

Nowhere is this more obvious than in Israeli advertising where the white Caucasian, blond, blue-eyed stereotype still reigns supreme.
Where portrayals of single sex families still are very rare and where you will be hard pushed to find a black Ethiopian kid
starring in a commercial let alone an Arab – unless it’s for purposes of typecasting him in various unflattering roles.

Not surprising if you look at casting calls issued by local talent agencies; stuff that will quite literally make your hair stand on edge.

But the job of advertisers, in our minds, is not only to reflect a country’s culture and values. Quite the opposite.
Advertisers have a responsibility to help shape the culture they live in and mold people’s behavior for the better.
The way we see things at BBR Saatchi & Saatchi, the industry has a proactive role to play in levelling the playing ground, abolishing prejudice and blowing up the glass ceiling.

Love Comes In All Shapes And Sizes : Super Pharm by BBR Saatchi & Saatchi

Creative, International, TV Spots, no comments

Ask any parent, and they’ll tell you parenting is a very challenging task, especially when babies are involved. No matter who you are, whether you’re a Mommy or Daddy, whether you have any experience or not. It’s going be tough.

So why is it, that in a country like Israel where over 42% of families are defined as “alternative” when we watch commercials, the families portrayed in them are consistently monochromatic, traditional, heterosexual families? Shouldn’t our ads be a reflection of the wonderful diversity that is out there? Are the love, family life and issues a gay couple faces any less valid than that of a traditional couple? Super-Pharm and its private label brand “Life Baby” didn’t think so.

That’s why when “Life Baby” launched their new campaign, they decided they wanted every type of family in Israel to feel included. To do so, they asked one simple question, “What’s the hardest thing about being a parent?”

The commercial we created is a first in the Israeli media as it portrays how non-conventional families all ultimately deal with the same challenges. A gutsy move for any marketer, this is especially remarkable for a marketer as big as Super-Pharm in a country like Israel, where religious concerns, taboos and traditional views still reign strong and supreme and where consumer protest are not unknown to happen .

Bekol : Sound Changes Everything

Bekol : Sound Changes Everything : BBR Saatchi and Saatchi

A clickbait campaign designed to test the hearing of the video-muting Facebook generation

We’ve all fallen prey to clickbait. Those small innocuous looking posts in our Facebook feeds with ‘interesting’ headlines created to combat banner blindness. Posts most of us cannot resist clicking which usually lead to a double digit lift in click through rates.

With that in mind, we decided to put this knowledge into practice for ‘Bekol’, Israel’s Organization for the Hard of Hearing, and get people to take a hearing test in spite of their reluctance to do so.

Appealing to the 85 percent of Facebook users who usually view videos with the sound off, we dared them to click on our post. Those who clicked were surprised to discover a video with a soundtrack that did not quite match the cute picture portrayed. A soundtrack which once added, presented in fact a whole new and creepy narrative. Viewers who still thought our campaign video was cute, fun or even romantic were invited to get their hearing tested by Bekol.

Some things (not many) still belong exclusively to the realm of adults and any kiddy attempt to overstep those boundaries, is bound to expose them to some unpleasantness.
Dark chocolate is no exception. It’s not made for kids!
