Execution

- Media team realised success hinged upon creating a reunion experience between Thai women and Hello Kitty. The fabled feline is more than just another molding, but a confident cat of many coats, an icon of fashion, provided a vector back to a childhood time when they felt cared for and protected. 'The Cult of Cute' became the strategic idea to rebuild connection and custom with Thai women, while having commercial value and through ripe activation across her journey.

- A challenging non-TV campaign was strategically executed to suit the minimal budget. Led with Digital and Social media, the team had ensured influential awareness was spread across target audience networks. Transit and Out-of-home played the key in daily accompaniment of our women with invitational-interactive communication on the go. Favourite public radio personalities were chosen to advocate the must-have cats and promotional details.
