Overview

Description

The use of entertainment contents by brands is not common practice in Argentina, partly due to the new regulations imposed by the national government, but also by the low budget different brands work with at the time of funding their campaigns. That is why, in this case, we have found a chance to work with the brand. Our brand is a technology dealer, and day-by-day technology and entertainment are becoming more closely related, which makes this strategy even more relevant.
