The Best of the Best in the World GLOBE

DDB Shanghai, Tribal DDB Shanghai China for “McDonald’s Cheer for China”

McDonald’s, a foreign Company, wanted to be more than just one of 56 or so Sponsors of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. DDB Shanghai China and their sister, Tribal DDB Shanghai, found a way for them to become an integral part of it. The “I’m lovin it when China Wins” campaign brought the 2008 Olympics to the people and became a movement for millions all over the country.

The Agencies seamlessly weaved the global tagline into everyone’s dream, for China to win the most medals and lead the World and a cheer. Millions had a chance to connect with the Olympics by learning a special cheer and performing it every time China won.

Using a viral interactive campaign, video “cheering stations” in McDonald’s stores and even a “Cheer for China Online Reality Show” the Promotion culminated in a Guinness World Record with the Winners of the Promotion and 1,200 cheerers, outside the Olympic Bird’s Nest Stadium.

REAL VALUE FOR MONEY NEEDS REAL CREATIVITY BELOW THE LINE, ARGUES PHIL PAWSEY, CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF WAX COMMUNICATIONS

Wander down any high street and you’ll see the promotional noise has grown toa deafening din in the past year or so.

Price promotions are popular at the best of times, and especially so in a recession.

Not only do they appeal to budget conscious shoppers – even the affluent are elbow-in the bargain bins, according to recent reports- but marketing directors like them for their accountability and tactical impact.

Retailers, who want to outsell the merchant up the road, have been passionate in their demand for them to hook in customers.

But are consumers starting to suffer from ‘discount fatigue’?

While a money-saving deal will always catch the eye, it’s been proved that when times are tough people are inclined to turn to the warmth and reassuring nature of established brands.

Brands like these tend to want to protect their brand equity.

Discounts can harm brands

Deep discounts can cause the consumer to believe that something is ‘wrong’.

Frequent discounting serves to lower the value of the brand because of an almost subconscious consumer reaction – they believe that quality has also been lowered.

Or, in a ‘value rebound’, as identified by US based branding experts Killian and Company, consumers begin to perceive the usual, non-discounted price as too high.

It’s often debated whether Stella Artois’‘Reassuringly Expensive’ above the line premium positioning was damaged by constant price promotions below the line. It was confusing for consumers, to say the least.

A recession doesn’t mean all brand communications should be about price.

It’s arguably even more important that brands build a distinct personality and image in tough times than in better days, because they need to achieve stand out.

With people looking for better value, having a genuine reason other than price to choose one product over another is all the more important.

Above the line agencies talk a lot about the fact that brands which continue advertising through a recession come out of it the strongest. Recent research by Oregon State University and Western Oregon University showed that advertising expenditures contributed to increased earnings by firms for up to three years following; the greatest impact occurring in the year immediately following a recession.

So building brands, both above and below the line, during a recession ensures that when the good times return, the strongest brands reap those benefits.

The good news is building brands and driving sales is not such a stark choice these days. With creative thought and proper insight, sales promotion can do both.

Take our latest work for United Biscuits, which extended the above the line campaign in a neat sales promotion in
this way.

Our integrated campaign for Hula Hoops was born out of the insight that people love to play with the hoops, usually sticking them on their fingers. So building on from the great ads that Publicis delivered, we created a campaign inviting consumers to make ‘Finger Films’ and win trips to ‘Hulawood USA’.

A strong promotional call to action can use insight to support and build brand equity.

Another UB through the line campaign we worked on asks the nation which McVitie’s biscuits they love the most. Yes, there’s a chance to win cash daily, but the central insight – that we Brits are obsessively passionate about biscuits – drives the campaign, placing McVitie’s at the heart of that obsession and building the brand in the process.

Creativity can shine below the line; and so it should,

now that the public is inured to the ‘half price’ message.

Creativity cuts through

Creativity can shine below the line; and so it should, now that the public is inured to the ‘half price’ message and deals are a given.

And, as the recession rolls on, we should remember consumers have been bombarded with ‘money-off’ messaging, 24/7, online andoff, in the home and on the high street for a while now. There must come a time when they not only switch off, but actively ‘tune out’.

With this in mind, I would go as far as to say that creativity counts for even more in a recession. What else is there to engage customers when price no longer cuts it?

A good strategic and creative idea sometimes (but not always!) costs no more than a run of the mill one, and offers greater ROI.

Creativity also delivers more than sales volume spikes, if planned with the bigger picture in mind.

The promotional hit of early summer – the Walker’s ‘Do Us a Flavour’ campaign – is an example par excellence.

According to Walkers, the idea came out of a brainstorming session involving Walkers marketers, ad agency AMV:BBDO, PR consultancy Freud, below-the-line agency The Big Kick and Paul Weiland, the man who directs the brand’s TV ads.

The bold central idea was to tap into the ‘user-generated’ phenomenon. By letting the public take ‘control’ of the new flavour, like other brands riding the wave of customer interaction, Walker’s was able to ‘stand back’ and let the public do the edginess. But while the creativity came ‘from the street,’ the professional feel was maintained through the campaign’s slick execution, featuring wellcrafted multimedia content.

‘Do us a flavour’ was an innovative, engaging and strategic promotion and a world away from the tactical, template variety of discount SP.

Of course the two are not directly comparable, but if both are measured against their bottom line, which offers the best return?

It’s true the Walker’s campaign gave a pretty hefty incentive to enter; not just the chance of winning a £50,000 prize but also a 1% share of future royalties. But the results are sensational.

Walkers received more than 1.1m entries, four times as many as it had hoped, and at its peak in August, the website had 102,000 web sessions per day.

Walkers had the mettle to do something different – and with every success comes a wave of ‘me too’ promotions.

Among them is Dorito’s digitally-heavy ‘Guess Which Flavour’ campaign, which invites users to guess its mystery flavour.

All very well, but is copycat marketing, even if it does mirror a highly creative campaign, a good idea?

Brands may think so, if the number of times I am asked to create a hybrid campaign ‘a bit like promotion ‘X’ but with a bit of promotion ‘Y’ thrown in’ is anything to go by.

SP is one of the few marketing industry good news stories to come out of the economic down turn; the January Bellwether report showed sales promotion now accounts for 9.2% of overall spend, compared to Main Media (30.3%), Direct Marketing (24.9%) and ‘all other’ (25.7%), a considerable rise on previous reports.

But SP is not just big news in a recession. With creativity and insight, it can be the marketing method of choice for all seasons.

Beyond the brief

Pushing the boundaries and delivering new creative spins, even if the brief appears to require an obvious solution or a re-hash of something that’s  already been done, will give SP a shelf life beyond the recession.

Consumers don’t settle for second best – why should we?

The Climate is in the toilet, your parents are poking you on Facebook, religion has become celebrity culture and MJ’s no longer with us!

All the usual avenues for advice are slamming shut just when you need them most!  Is it okay to laugh at swine flue jokes? Do I have to talk to that guy beside me in the elevator in the morning? Does reading Nietzche on the tube make me look like a Nazi? Indeed.

Or maybe your just sick of modern life and want to bust a move out of this nihilistic funk!

Business & Leadership (Ireland) | 02.09.09

The new sales promotion (on-pack and digital) campaign for McVitie’s which is running in the Republic of Ireland has been picked up by Business & Leadership.

United Biscuits | 26.08.09

How do you eat your biscuit?

Do you sink your teeth into the last Jaffa Cake or leave it for your boss?

Would you dip your chocolate digestive on a date?

When is the best time to take a biscuit break?

Research out today shows the UK is fiercely divided over the top time to eat a biscuit, with ‘Biscuit O’Clock’ falling between 3 and 4pm (for 19.6% of people polled) or 10 and 11am (19.5%).

But the real ‘crunch time’ was determined to be 3:10pm, with school ending and teachers, kids and even parents all
resorting to a quick and much needed pick-me-up.

According to the McVitie’s Bonkers About Biscuits report, our ‘Biscuit-iquette’ depends on whether we are eating them on our own or in public. Nearly half of us enjoy dunking biscuits in a hot drink in private (48.4%), or admit to scoffing them down fast and consuming most of the packet (15.9%).

In public however, many changed their approach, taking fewer and smaller bites when consuming their favourite biscuit and one-in-six people surveyed (15.5%) say they would never eat biscuits in business meetings.

When it comes to sharing, four-in-five Brits are willing to offer their last biscuit to others, however
nearly a quarter (24.6%) would kick themselves if someone actually accepted the offer!

Peter Kay (11.4%) was the favourite celebrity to share a packet of biscuits with, while Barack Obama came a close second at (10.5%). It also seems Brits are unable to keep their hands off biscuits in even the strangest places, including the bed (34%), the bath (17%) and even a swimming pool!

And finally, after a bad day at work or an emotional break up, it’s the good old-fashioned chocolate digestive that tops the list for comfort (42.8%), closely followed by a chocolate HobNob (23.7%) and Jaffa Cakes (23.5%), while chocolate chip cookies (21.9%) and shortbread (21.5%) complete the top five favourites.

Sarah Heynen, from McVitie’s who commissioned this survey said:

“It is clear that everyone has their own quirky habits when it comes to biscuits. Biscuits fill many roles from giving you a mid-afternoon boost to sharing with a friend over a nice cuppa.

“How we choose to enjoy our favourite varies vastly from area to area and between the different ages and sexes, but one thing is sure, people are not about to get tired of biscuits anytime soon.”

Chairman of the Biscuit Appreciation Society added:

“With a big passion for biscuits myself, McVitie’s Chocolate Digestives being my favourite, it has been really interesting to see what the McVitie’s Bonkers about Biscuits survey has uncovered and has proven that people out there are just as fanatical about biscuits as me.”
