Creative Execution

To promote this idea further, we wanted to take that metaphorical idea, and make it a reality. We hired a professional hypnotist to use his magical influence to make people hungry. We invited an audience to the live event and broadcasted on the internet.

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

SNICKERS has built a global campaign around the idea that "YOU ARE NOT YOU WHEN YOU ARE HUNGRY". We needed to develop an innovative promotional campaign in accordance with this idea which appeals to young audience.
