We used the world greatest icon of boxing , Sylvester Stallone, to “gently” invite all men that were needing a lot of boxing in their lives with a simple phrase: You need to watch more boxing. Or box, as we call it in Mexico. But what happens when your star can’t say it right? When he sounds more “bax” than “box”and people notice it and begin to point it out in social media and di. Did we have to sub him? Did we have do dub him? Or what about changing the name of the sport as people claimed it?

That’s what we did: a campaign adapted to what people wanted, to the way they asked for, to be aligned to the thousands of memes, mentions and casual uses.

Through a campaign of 7 online videos, radios, billboards, high profile boxing matches sponsorships (as Mayweather vs Pacquiao) and social media along the last year and in so far this one, Sylvester Stallone got close to Mexican men to remind them that they need to watch more boxing in order to be more in line with the values of the sport, with just a single line: TE HACE FALTA VER MÁS BAX (You need to watch more boxing, or “baxing” as he says). Then, when people began to use the error as norm, we knew we had to evolve the campaign to what people asked in real time. The only way we could achieve to become part of the popular culture was to evolve in its own environment.
