The Campaign

We focused on an entire culture of one-upmanship – hip hop, creating a rapper called Lil Pup and introducing him to his V-drinking doppelgänger, Lil Big Pup, letting their tensions play out within a rap battle music video.

Creative Execution

A full-length music video that takes the form of a rap battle between Lil Pup and a V-drinking (and therefore bit better) version of himself, Lil Big Pup. Lil Pup vs Lil Big Pup was ON! A driving bass beat and infectious hook set the stage. Then it was over to the hip hop star with the witty lyrics. Lil Pup against the slightly wittier lyrics Lil Big Pup.  The verses touched upon all the fundamental values hip hop holds dear – like fashion sense, diet, amount of Grammys won, number of tigers owned, how many Instagram followers they have, and the gregariousness of the private jets they bought their mothers. The high-end music video style spot ran in cinema, online and on music television channels for 2 months.

7,800,000 + people reached. 34,700,000 + impressions.

As an authentic hip hop music track, complete with booming bass, infectious hook and witty (and slightly wittier) lyrics, this rap battle ran in its natural environments of MTV and other music channels. Basically our brand promise delivered musically.

Using a truly modern character and channel, to demonstrate the products benefit of marginal improvement.
