What is the pandemic? I'll start with the first one which is an Indian campaign and I'll truly put the True Color campaign. It really used the word pandemic quite well, though it was not related to this pandemic, but they were able to actually highlight the issues related to women and the social issues and saying that's the real true pandemic and it really stood out. I've sent it to my global peers, my global marketing heads, everywhere saying this is a marquee gold platinum standard campaign which has been done and which has got the attention from nowhere. And surprisingly it used print media. At the time when lockdown and everything happened, that's what it stood out.
One of the other campaigns being very closely associated with Lekker is the Guinness campaign which started before St. Patrick's Day. It's very nicely put out that you still need to celebrate, you don't need to stop everything but bring in the humanness in use. Say thanks when you vote to the pub, say thanks to your doctors, try and say hello to your neighbours. It's humanising the brand, suddenly a Lekker brand trying to humanise itself. One of the best campaigns I'll put and which is still part of Stays With Me is the Coke campaign in Nigeria. It starts very nicely like saying people are trying to go back to the old normal or the new normal but why are we trying to do that? Why are we not trying to be more open and realise what we were missing?
Two to seconds moments in the ad where it says that you are a stranger in your home, you are a stranger to your neighbour, you forget to say hi to your teachers, things like that. It's a fantastic campaign using the pandemic as a background and again humanising the pandemic.
