Using novel or unconventional campaign ideas in order to engage people. Here are a few pieces of work that are either done by me or guided by me. Enjoy.

Some of the branding here I have done personally and at other times I have either overseen or guided the design team.

I was tasked with translating the ENFA campaign to the Asia Pacific Region for launch. This is a clear example of connected commerce and shopper marketing.

With the task of making sure the Pampers brand translated in the APAC region. I decided to show some of my favorite campaigns while working there. The communication objective was to be global, but act local. Translating a western brand into the Asian market and managing teams on Pampers of different cultures was an amazing experience. From concept the idea goes through all touch point including packaging.

To further integrate the values of Metlife and integrate value to their customers they created a health app that has incentives and partnership possibilities.

This was done in 2010-2011 pre- Netflix’s Black Mirror: Bandersnatch (way ahead of its time) with its, “choose your own adventure” type of storytelling and brand as the reason for the scenario as well as voice recognition when Carrie B calls you. Over all a couple have a better ‘love relationship’ because he is a “Good boy” by making sure he is there for her in a loving way. Bayer Levitra helps him not let down his girlfriend during the most intimate loving moments.

Target market:

Young urban male professionals 25 -35 in Hong Kong.

Strategy:

Be a "Good Boy" by satisfying your partner, longer.

Creative Solution:

Through interaction with Carrie Bee, a fictional person, men are more curious to hear the message and play along.

Carrie Bee's boyfriend was a "Good Boy" because he satisfied her as well as himself (which is most likely why he took Levitra). She decided to video chat with him to let him know because their fun made the apartment a mess.

This particular campaign showcases video storytelling but also the fb app calls the person, they respond, and the storyline changes based on their response. In the end Carrie Bee SMS a message with a link. It is the only time there is advertising (the link is the ad for a discounted trial with prescription).
