Our creative take was that mothers that will never experience having grandchildren are the ones who suffer the most from the low birthrates. In an online film, we asked wannabe grandmas of Denmark to join forces. In order to give them a strong tool, we launched Spies Parent Purchase™. Here they could prepay active holidays for their children and in-laws in order to create a sex-enhancing combo of workout and holiday that could lead to grandchildren. To show our commitment, we threw in discounts as well. Segmented social media content followed the online film and created relevant engagement and retargeting.

Segmented social media content followed the online film and created relevant engagement and retargeting.
