Following the successful ‘You’re Not You When You’re Hungry’ UK campaign launch last year, AMV BBDO have created two exciting new ideas for Snickers.
These campaigns aim to get people to not only relate to our universal insight of hunger making people ‘off their game’, but interact with it at key hunger moments.
Foosball
The agency created a new type of foosball, Snickers Foosball, because ‘You’re Not You When You’re Hungry. We took over all the foosball tables in London’s most popular foosball bar, Bar Kick in Shoreditch. We replaced the regular figurines with their hungry alter egos. Each of our figurines was designed with a flaw that encapsulated a hunger trait and made them completely useless in play. We created Old Granny; a frail character that couldn’t kick the ball because she was made of rubber, Cry Baby; a little girl that was too short to reach the ball and Drama Queen; a ballerina who’s legs spun in contact with the ball.
To build on the digital success of our campaign activation in Twitter last year, they came up with a new way to tell the story in the digital space in an interesting and innovative way. We worked with Google technology to bid on misspellings of the most commonly searched terms. Each time someone misspelt a word they were given a tailored message to “Grab yourself a Snikkers” as “Yu cant spel properlie wen hungrie.” Without seeding, it reached over 500,000 people within three days of launch.
