A Cheeky Welcome for Prince William

It’s been 70 years since a British dignitary let alone British Royalty has visited in Israel. By Israeli standards this is a wonderful opportunity for celebration and an even better one for brands to give the young prince a royal welcome ‘Israeli style’. That is why Super-Pharm, Israel’s largest drugstore chain, working together with BBR Saatchi & Saatchi advertising bought up a huge billboard space at the entrance to Jerusalem along the Prince’s schedule journey into the capital.

The billboard meant for the fair skinned and slightly balding young royal, tells him that the London sun is nothing compared to the scorching Israeli sun and kindly nudges the prince on to buy and apply Life Sunscreen. But while the billboard’s message seems mostly straightforward and innocent, it of course could not refrain from poking a little fun and derision at the “Sun” British Daily Newspaper known for grilling the royal family any occasion it gets.

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.
