Snopake Sticky Notes by Impact BBDO Dubai

Advertising Agency: Impact BBDO Dubai
Executive Creative Director: Fouad Abdel Malak
Creative Director: Amit Kapoor
Associate Creative Director: Dinesh Tharippa
Copywriter: Amit Kapoor
Art Director: Dinesh Tharippa

Results and Effectiveness:
The project was a resounding success. On a shoestring budget, we created instant recognition and appreciation for Snopake Sticky Notes. There was widespread brand awareness and recall – even after the mosaic art was removed from the walls, thus proving effectively that Snopake Sticky Notes didn’t just stick on the walls – they stuck in the consumer’s mind.
Creative Execution:
Using thousands of Snopake Sticky Notes, we created portraits of unforgettable British icons. We stuck the sticky notes on the walls of public spaces like malls for this unique mosaic art. The idea allowed to show the different colours of Snopake Sticky Notes in an innovative and engaging manner.
Insights, Strategy and the Idea:
Snopake is Britain’s most innovative brand of stationery products, but it’s relatively unknown in the UAE. The objective was to launch Snopake in way that sets it apart from other stationery brands. But how do you gain attention in a category with low level of involvement – and with limited media spend? We came up with an idea that involved showcasing the product and Snopake’s lineage at the same time, thus raising awareness of both.

This Is All I Have To Say

 

Review by Arjun Mukherjee. Arjun is a crack Creative Director at Bates 141, Kolkata.

It arrived in a corrugated, cardboard wrapper. A noisy ‘tear away’ later, out came a crisp, fresh smelling book bathed in cream with a green spine and a sharp green edge on every page. When Swapan Seth writes the words become feathers and knives, tickling and cutting as you read along. For a man who has quietly conquered the highest peaks of advertising this book packs a surprise by steering away from the subject he has cut his teeth upon. What it offers in return is a stirring, soul-searching account of life and its many shades.
