Client Brief Or Objective
Milo Cans was perceived as a ‘kiddy’ brand for kids 7-12. It needed to appeal to the teen market segment by leveraging on its strong association with sports. As the country’s most popular sport, football was the obvious choice. But teens know it as a sport their fathers and grandfathers played. Rather than the old and familiar, teens are more willing to experience and experiment with new kinds of sports. This year, under our Milo Cans Next Games platform, we took on the challenge to redefine what football is to teens, on their own media turf.
Implementation
We created the sport of Twisted Football. To launch it, we built Twisted Football goalposts across the country. Each Twisted goalpost came with its own unique shape and dimensions. Through mobile, online tutorial videos, interactive posters, YouTube and Facebook, we introduced the rules of the game to millions online and on-ground. With simple rules, the sport became an instant hit. On our Next Games Facebook page, teens could design, submit and vote for their most twisted designs. The best designs were made a reality while the two most popular designs were used in the first ever nationwide Twisted Football Tournament.
