Background
GrabCar is the top ride-hailing app in the Philippines. GrabFood, on the other hand, is the No. 1 online food delivery platform the country.
Both wanted to expand its business in the Philippines during summer.
It used this truth: Riding a cab--or having food ordered--saves you the sweltering experience of being outside under the sun in 125.6-degree Fahrenheit temperature.
Armed with this, the brand Grab crafted a film to convince Filipinos to go Grab this summer.
Execution
The film takes us through the day of a lovable character as he goes about his daily tasks during summer in the Philippines. From commuting, working at his office, and cooking a meal at home—he is always accompanied by sweat that all but cascaded like a waterfall.
It seems that he's oblivious to what is happening.
The sweating instantly stops when he rides a GrabCar and receives his order from GrabFood.
Outcome
Filipinos instantly related to the main character’s condition and engaged online. The film resonated with people from other tropical nations as well.
