Overview

Background

• Situation: Gel alcohol products are all the same. No difference at all. Same color. Same presentations. Same claims. Same results.

• Brief: How can we tell people that BIALCOHOL is the best option and more effective than other alcohol gels.

• Objectives: Increase awareness of the brand. Boost sales.

Idea

We created THE NASTIEST TEST, a test in which the brand manager of Bialcohol is exposed to different challenges in order to prove that with Bialcohol, you don’t have to fear the bacteria.

Strategy

We found a way to show that Bialcohol is more effective than other gel alcohols: by proving it on the client’s body, exposing her to the most contaminated scenes and having a notary public to certify that all the challenges are true. And in the end, conducting a blood test to give real results about the test.

Execution

In the film, we see the Brand Manager of Bialcohol (an alcohol gel brand) exposing herself to the nastiest test. It consists of eating a potato chip from a stranger’s dirty hand, of course after they apply Bialcohol gel.

This is a documentary film in which the Brand Manager doesn’t have any script to follow. So, as you can see in the film she goes through different stages of the test without having any clue.

In the end, things get a bit tough.

Everything to prove the efficiency of the product.

The film was broadcast on social networks and online channels beginning April 2019.
