The brief

Moment marketing has to go out on the day: find the idea, make it and post it, while everyone else is posting about the same moment.

For a wires and cables brand the extra difficulty is relevance. The product does not naturally belong in most conversations, so the connection has to be earned rather than asserted.

Approach

Find the visual pun in the product, not in the occasion. Cable, current and connection are flexible enough to carry a range of moments, which keeps the brand present without forcing it. A fixed frame and type treatment means a new post is an idea plus an hour, not a new design.

Impact

Gandhi Jayanti, Teachers’ Day, Onam, the Asian Games and the World Cup all went out on time, as stills and films, in one recognisable format.
