BriefExplanation

Skittles is synonymous with great TV ads, just read all the comments on YouTube. These comments were often as crazy and unexpected as the actual ads, showcasing love for the ads as well as for the brand itself. We leveraged off this to create a radio campaign written by you, the fans:-)

We have composed an original piece of music, which is an operatic duet between a male opera singer and female opera singer.
