The Brief

The FIFA World Cup comes once every four years. Snickers wasn't an official sponsor, but still wanted to boost an excitement of Japanese youth for the World Cup, in an entertaining way.

Creative Execution

Young males are main target of Snickers and the brand wanted to be a part of this big event for them once in a 4 years.

Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective.

We changed our name from "SNICKERS" to "SOCCERS" by just changing three letters. We took advantage of Snickers' brand colours matching Japan's national soccer team's colours.

Results

We captured the attention of an excited nation. Fans shared the package and social media also spread the news. - 2,7500,000 media impressions - sales +10% during the campaign period - The campaign cost was ¥0
