Brief Explanation
In the Philippines, generic medicines are viewed as inferior to branded medicines. RITEMED is the Philippines leading brand for OTC generics and we wanted to dispel that myth. Using the most common* medium for the lower income market, RADIO*. (*second only to social media) Each spot demonstrated two scenarios, an expensive big budget scene done with sound taken from expensive, big budget sound productions, then for comparison, followed it up with the same scene done by a person using ONLY simple objects lying around. The resulting sounds were almost exactly the same, (listen closely with earphones, and you’ll spot the differences) but with the second version done at a fraction of the cost. To achieve this, we got engineers to replicate the big budget scenes with everyday tools (see pictures). This demonstrates that you can get the same effect at a much lower price, which is exactly what RiteMed offers.
