Execution

We took over a construction site in the busy Melbourne business district - a destination of over 100,000 daily commuting workers. The builders on the site were replaced with actors, we then we flipped their stereotypical behaviour, by having them shout out empowering statements to unsuspecting members of the public, and bring the 'You're not you when you're hungry' campaign idea into the real world. The outdoor ambient was then filmed and distributed as content to key blogs, websites and seeded with influential mass media outlets. It was seen by an audience of 3.5 million, in 194 countries and shared over 680,000 times.
