Description of the Project:
BRIEF:
Market relaunch of Fiorucci, a cold-cuts brand, with a high-impact campaign relevant to the Italians.
INSIGHT:
Italy is one of the most corrupt countries in Europe.
And corrupt politicians in Italy are said to “eat pork”, because cold-cuts were used in the past as bribes. That’s why Fiorucci decided to run a campaign to expose the issue of corruption.
IDEA:
We organized guerrilla, stunts, radio teaser activities the week before the election aimed at drawing attention to the corruption issue and to maximize the effect of the TV commercial that was going to be aired on election day. The film immediately spread online reaching 2.4 million views in just few days, thus becoming the most viewed Italian commercial on you tube ever. The film was supported by a Facebook page entitled “Power and cold-cuts” that became the largerst italian online political debate. Then we produced a unique tool for the journalist: the first scientific map of the history of corruption in Italy in a slice of ham.
RESULTS:
Fiorucci obtained PR coverage worth 1.2 million euros, which translates into ROI of 3,700% and we reached a vast part of the Italian population (both online and offline), making this campaign one of the most talked about ever.
