The Campaign

For 25 years, Bench, the Philippines' biggest fashion brand, wanted to offer the world something more than clothes. From a brand of outfits, we launched a movie outfit. On it's 25th Anniversary, Bench created Benchingko Films. Benchingko is a colloquial Filipino term for 25.

Success of the Campaign

The buzz about Benchingko was heard across Twitter, Facebook and blogs. The films were avidly followed by the showbiz-hungry press. Resulting to 5 million pesos worth of media impression and 1 million ombined views. By creating movies inspired by the Filipino way of life, Bench finds its rightful place in pop culture, transforming itself from a clothing brand to a true Philippine icon.

Describe how the campaign/entry was launched and executed across each channel in the order of implementation.

We wove the Bench into the fabric of everyday life through movies that Filipinos love. Covering different film genres, the Benchingko digital films spotlight the people that Bench has clothed for 25 years: the Filipino people. Top-billed by Bench models, the biggest stars in Philippine cinema, the films are shown online for free viewing and sharing. Bench billboards were transformed into movie billboards. The films were launched in a star-studded premiere. The Facebook fan page counted down to each film showing.
