When COVID-19 hit, many agencies in Thailand lost a lot of work, including Wunderman Thompson. One of the clients that canceled their campaigns was TCP beverage group. However, this was because their marketing budget was spent on pandemic aid for all Thai people instead, including testing machines, masks for the medical staff, and employee relief funds. Thasorn Boonyanate took notice of this fact and did what he could with his own wits, a laptop, and his Facebook account to turn this crisis into an opportunity for strengthening the agency's relationship with TCP.

Even though TCP cancelled their brand campaign, they are still active with their CSR campaign: they imported the first COVID testing booths in Thailand, hired unemployed factory workers to produce masks, gave away beverage products for the medical staff, and more. They had cut their own branding budget to help Thai people in time of need, and this is going on unnoticed by consumers.
