Challenge
Baby Kiko, primarily targeting Malay mums was facing the brand perception of being ‘local’, in a market where international fashion brands have higher aspirational value. The challenge was to improve sales by creating the feeling of “I want my kid to be seen wearing it” among urban parents

Solutions
An in-depth study of parents’ shopping psyche revealed that baby clothes are not selected on basis of ‘price’ and ‘style’ alone, but there is a deeper emotional connect. The brand of kids clothes reflect a parent’s love for their child compared to other parents. In a society driven by celebrity endorsement, it would be easier to convince consumers about the brand’s premium status, by demonstrating, that even celebrity parents are governed by this same emotion

Execution
We executed the first-ever child makeover reality show in Malaysia on Astro Ria – ‘Fesyenista Manja Baby Kiko’. Eight celebrity parents were given the opportunity to compete for their kid to be crowned as ‘most stylish’. The camera crew allowed audience a first-hand view as celebrity parents became fashion stylists and dressed their kids in Baby Kiko apparel based on different themes. The makeover unleashed the glamorous side of the kids through the clothes

Result
Successful integration of the brand into the branded content impacted sales positively. The client attributed ‘double digit growth’ in sales to the influence of the show, thereby exceeding their sales target. Viewers were excited and the program averaged 300,000 viewers/episode (Nielsen). These media achievements resulted in Season 2 being commissioned

Challenge
Johnson’s baby has been facing stiff challenge to maintain its leadership position in a very staid category seeing an influx of smaller brands. Johnson’s baby needed to showcase its overarching superiority over others to the moms and moms-to-be by connecting with them in a deep emotional way and create talkability.

Solutions
New mommies have thousands of questions during their motherhood and need a confidante, to who they could turn to during their journey. Mommies trust recent mommies the most and look up to ICON MOM. We decided to use Erra Fazira, a popular ICON, who had just given birth and is now an experienced mom who has gone through the same phases and would be the best soul sister to hand hold them in their journey.

Execution
8 episode, 30min branded talk show called TIKTOKTIKTOK Bayiku was created. The episodes saw Erra chatting up with Mommies, Role Models & Experts while taking them from pregnancy to husbands role to problems of working mothers. Each episode was designed to showcase a product from Johnson’s baby portfolio via guidelines and address Q&A’s from audience. All the while the brand was seamlessly integrated into the program based on occasion, lifestyle and mindset context.

Result
The program got a peak rating of 10.6TVR and was one of the highest rated programme in fringe time on TV9. Johnson’s baby remained unchallenged as the No.1 brand amongst mom with baby with highest Brand Equity Index. Johnson’s baby managed to push the envelope to grow sales by 4.5%.

Challenge
Last two years had seen a plethora of brands in juices claiming real orange, natural orange, genuine orange, true orange, 100% orange, and sometimes dozen vitamins to boot. As a latecomer, Minute Maid had to cut through the clutter, and be different enough to make people try the product.

Solutions
Taste was the biggest truth in beverages and when it came to juices, pulp was where the magic was. So, we romanced the simple delicious pleasures of a juicy chewy fulfilling pulp – via a new word – “Pulpylicious”. We decided to use a “Shake, Tickle, Chew” ritual, (shake and drink, pulp tickles taste buds, chew for pleasure) to experience the “Pulpylicious!!!”. It was fun, it was crazy and it was very very delicious.

Execution
Minute Maid brand was a jester – fun, naughty and humorous. We took over a youth program – Bang Bang Boom on TV3, where people play crazy pranks on streets. 6 episodes of custom ‘pulpylicious’ segments invited people to participate and spread their own contagious shake, tickle and chew routine! “8TV Newbies” used Shake, Tickle and Chew themed footages across four new programs to create pulpylicious capsules. Special Transformer trucks sampled creating fun curious buzz.

Result
The show was highly successful! The ratings boosted to 19TVR. Minute Maid Pulpy’s awareness soared to 64% beyond our target! Minute Maid also had good handover from awareness to consumption intent – a strong indication that Pulpylicious works to engage our audience. Today, the brand is commonly known as Pulpy.

<iframe width=”853″ height=”480″ src=”//www.youtube.com/embed/lKoqEm2KEQs” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>

Challenge
Cornetto was losing top-of-mind awareness amongst restless Malay youth and needed to quickly strengthen its proposition as catalyst of teenage Love. Agency was challenged to “do something more” with Cornetto’s theme song and create an explosive idea which would mend this link

Solutions
Malay teens are constantly involved with music, romance & celebrities, presenting a perfect opportunity to express Cornetto as a “conduit between love & music”. “Cornetto Inikah Cinta?” (Is This Love?) 16- part minisode was created as perfect response to the popularity of theme-song “Inilah Cinta” (This is Love). We created multiplatform content which could cut across TV, mobile & internet ensuring the content could not go un-noticed by Malay teens

Execution
Teen heartthrob singer, Akim starred in this mini-sode drama revolving friendship, love & music which cleverly wove in Cornetto’s brand- essence. Considering teen’s low attention span, 5-minute format was used allowing for many on-air repeats. Show was aired on two popular Pay-TV channels, available through free downloadable “Mobisodes” on cellphones (2000+ downloads) and webisodes on-line Live SMS-chat sessions, drama casts on CH15, celebrity radio interviews, SMS blasts, social- media and blogs also ensured teen interest was sustained

Result
Cornetto sales increased 15% during the campaign period, after a stagnant year! Cornetto uniquely associated with “Brands linked to love” & “Brand for teenagers” – improving relevance 50,000+ online viewers showed excellent connection the mini-sodes built with Malay teens. (surpassed target by 160%)

Challenge
Every year thousands of brands try to ride the CNY bandwagon, but they often disregard how their product is relevant to CNY occasion, creating humongous me-too clutter. BRAND’S Essence of Chicken wanted to break through the clutter by bringing its own meaning and relevance to CNY for their youth target.

Solutions
BEC stood for “Staying Alert”. Every CNY, millions of Chinese would stay awake all night in a timeless tradition called “Shou Sui” – to bring long & prosperous lives to their parents. Despite best intentions, it was difficult to stay alert – a perfect relevance for BEC. Most Chinese grew with mums giving them BEC for their well-being, on CNY, children ‘paid back’ by taking it for Parents’ well-being. We decided to own “Shou Sui”.

Execution
BEC’s target was youth, so we developed a music video to tell our story. It was aired for entire CNY month on 8TV, Malaysia’s top Chinese station. We also developed a special “Shou Sui” segment on ’8TV All Stars CNY Special’, where celebrities brought out the meaning & fun experience of Shou Sui, with seamless integration of BEC as their aid in staying alert. The youth icons from video greeted CNY on behalf of BEC.

Result
A total of 3.3 million Chinese youths were reached with FREE airtime worth 1 million. BEC achieved record breaking sales of 15% increase from the previous year.
