The Brief

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.

Describe how the promotion developed from concept to implementation

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.

Describe the success of the promotion with both client and consumer including some quantifiable results

・Sales on that day were recorded the highest ever, 153% above average. (Campaign period sales increased 140%, compared with the same peroid of last year) ・2,650,000 media impressions ・Participants from more than 50 countries

Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service

The execution stimulated young people's curiosity and their natural challenging spirit.
