Why is this work relevant for Audio and Radio?
Constipation is a more commonly faced problem than people think. But talking about it openly is usually faced with disgust or shame. To navigate this exact challenge as a laxative brand, the Macrogol HEXAL plus Elektrolyt campaign leverages the strength of audio to engage with listeners via a memorable British voice from nature documentaries. With immersive soundscapes and episodes that describe seemingly natural events, each story highlights smoothness, the product benefit, to leave the listeners with a twinkle in their eyes.
Please provide any cultural context that would help the Jury understand any cultural, national or regional nuances applicable to this work.
In a world where discussing constipation is often met with awkwardness, and all laxative ads sound the same, it becomes difficult to stand out. Macrogol HEXAL plus Elektrolyte embraced the challenge with a refreshing approach. The humorous take from the radio spots went against the stigma around constipation and created conversations around it, enhancing the brand perception as witty and solution-focused, in a fresh yet memorable way.
Write a short summary of what happens in the radio or audio work.
In this humorous radio campaign, we use euphemisms from nature to talk about the laxative Macrogol HEXAL plus Elektrolyte. Every spot, descriptively narrated in Nature-Documentary style with a British voice, goes in-depth to observe a seemingly natural scenario with a smoother end than expected. The voice takes a surprising turn to land on the claim that relief from constipation could be that easy.
Translation. Provide a full English translation of any audio.
At the hint of dawn,
a rustling breaks the stillness of the forest.
As the sun rises,
an otter emerges from the shadows.
With a gentle stretch,
it spots the perfect place for a morning adventure.
The otter’s speed towards the riverside
hints at what’s about to come.
Just then, in a swift motion, it lunges in.
An arrival so smooth,
as if the water was always its home.
Along the heavy flow of the river,
the otter disappears into the depths,
leaving behind a sense of wonder.
Could it be this easy?
With Macrogol Hexal, it is.
Macrogol Hexal plus Electrolytes –
Smooth Laxative Relief.
Oooh, I think I spot another one.
