South Africa - To sell an immune booster,
Saatchi and Saatchi South Africa have teamed up with comedic duo Derick Watts
& The Sunday Blues (Nic & Gareth) to create a hilarious interactive
campaign for Efferflu C Immune Booster, dubbed Project Trapped.
The activity features the
duo mistakenly embarking on the holiday of a lifetime only to discover that
they’re going to be locked in a hotel room for 5 days as part of a social
experiment created to dramatise how Efferflu C Immune Booster helps keep you
healthy, so you can stay in play, without missing a single moment of your
exciting life.
“Not only is the daily
content being produced hilarious but it is also based on crowd-sourced
suggestions for things for the duo to do from our #projecttrapped followers,”
says Executive Creative Director at Saatchi & Saatchi, Gavin Whitfield.
Whitfield explains that the
campaign has simple ingredients, which make it engaging; a great prize (holiday
of a lifetime valued at R60 000), a simple entry mechanic (just tweet a
suggestion), reasons to stay engaged (entertaining content, spot prizes and
user influence) and a clear link to the product (don’t get stuck inside,
strengthen your immune system with Efferflu C).
“The tweeted suggestions
from the public on things that Derick Watts & The Sunday Blues should do to
entertain themselves have been rolling in since Monday and the new daily
episodes are being uploaded to the YouTube channel,” he says.
“So far the suggestions have
seen them waxing their armpits, enjoying a bubble shower, impersonating each
other and playing with sock puppets, whilst always being reminded of the things
they are missing out on. There’s even talking toilet paper! So far, so good,”
he concludes.
All episodes can be viewed
daily on the YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/wearethesundayblues
