Execution
Apart from conventional media, we worked on a strategy that could effectively engage young people with the brand.More than speaking directly to them, we needed to interact.At GUARANA ANTARCTICA STREET FESTIVAL the entire communication was highly interactive:On print media, the ads became a mini half-pipe, graffiti and a t-shirt.We created a new media: a floor sticker applied to an underground station, giving the illusion of a skate bowl.And to reach quick coverage in an innovative way, we created a billboard that became a real half-pipe, produced by one of Brazil’s best designers. Professional athletes performed in it during an entire afternoon.Apart from the event itself, they were real media experiences.
Outcome
GUARANA ANTARCTICA STREET FESTIVAL was a great success: more than 15,000 people! 50% more than in 2007!All actions gave long life to normally short-lived ads. That by itself makes “Guarana Antarctica Street Festival” ads a great success among young people. And the brand was also strengthened by the action’s spot-on approach.At a time when everyone is talking about several media’s passivity, we have shown that it is possible to be efficient and highly interactive with our target.
