With the government failing to produce enough license plates for new car owners, the agency decided to help drivers by providing free, legible and legal temporary plates. These plates reminded drivers not to drive hungry – helping them stay safe on the road.
We set up a website where people can create legal license plates that reminded them not to drive hungry. They just had to input their details and upload a photo of their conduction sticker. After verification, we told them to pick up their plates. Then we installed their plates in the center of Manila’s business district.
Vehicles with our plates became transit placements. So each car has the potential to reach 5.5 million people in a month. From a small budget, we earned $82,000 in media values, 190% more than what we spent. We also earned $363,000 in PR values, 839% more than what client paid for. Resulting to an ROI that’s 10 times our original budget. And until the official plates are actually released, we continue to have free media for the brand.
The work uses advertising space that no other consumer brand has been able to capitalize on. With a nationwide shortage of license plates in the Philippines, we used temporary license plates to reach out to drivers on the road.
As a foreign brand, Snickers had to penetrate a market dominated by local competitors. In order to do that, we thought of the one thing all Filipinos experience every day – traffic. We realized we could reach out to drivers and their passengers by using temporary plates. With this unique advertising space, we conveniently reminded people not to drive hungry.
