BBR Saatchi & Saatchi presents: “Alive & Kickin’

“A few old people is no reason to shutdown a whole country” – that’s how our latest campaign for the “Mediterranean Towers” Senior Living Residence kicks off. When the Pandemic struck, it soon became apparent senior citizens were especially at risk of contracting the covid-19 virus. So people were told to respect social distancing and families were warned to stay away from grandparents and elderly citizens lest they spread the virus to them.

Countries went into total lockdown and stores, businesses and restaurants shut their doors. However, while the lockdown was tolerated at first due to the general atmosphere of panic and fear, soon the economic consequences became apparent as most economies began suffocating. The advocates of reopening the markets were fast to point the finger at their seniors – blaming them for the continued segregation and economic shutdown in posts that showed increasing animosity and resentment towards the elderly. Posts where they were fast to offer up ghetto like solutions.

Most senior living chains had remained quiet during the lockdown – too afraid to advertise lest they draw fire and be painted as ‘houses of death’. Well the residents of the “Mediterranean Towers” Senior Living community thought differently and had a message for people they thought it was about time they heard.

So we scoured the net and social media and embarked on a campaign that took the most authentic comments and posts, straight from people’s feeds – and slammed them right onto the “Mediterranean Towers” elderlies reality, where our seniors stood proud and showed people exactly who they are : strong, independent, knowledgeable, creative,  life loving people who can look just fine after themselves – thank you.

Carlsberg’s Rosh Hashanah Record Breaking Post by BBR Saatchi & Saatchi

Case Study, Digital, International, , , , , , , , , , no comments

As you know New Year (Rosh Hashana in Israel) is a hectic time on social media feeds. Greetings and wishes abound and if you’ve got a Facebook account, chances are you’ll be checking in more than usual to see exactly who sent you wishes, sent your friends wishes and no less important didn’t send you wishes at all. But Carlsberg doesn’t compromise on the type of wishes it sends.

So when Facebook announced a couple of weeks back it was implementing its live photo technology, we immediately understood that together with the vertical screen, we held at our fingertips the power to implement a new type of storytelling through the mobile feed by combining a short movie with live interaction.

Carlsberg created ‘The Best Way to Open the New Year’ – an interactive ‘Live Photo’ based post that asks social media aficionados to ‘Press Here and not Let Go’. Those who did, (live photo tech only works on mobile) were delighted to see they’d just set in motion a rube machine that ultimately delivers Carlsberg’s suggestion to open a great new year with a nice pint.

Surfers loved our playful interactive experienced and engaged with our innocuous little post like never before. Engagement rate reached 13% – an all-time high for the brand whose record stood until then unbeaten at 9% J

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.
