Kraft Food’s chewing gum brand Trident has launched a debut global campaign, which celebrates all the opportunities life can give us. The new ‘See What Unfolds’ campaign by Saatchi & Saatchi, New York, which broke on Monday, is targeted at millennials—people in their 20s and 30s, who want to experience everything the day can give and make their own decisions. In its core idea, the new marketing initiative, which as reported by Ad Age is set to roll out in at least 17 countries, including the U.S., is in some way similar to the controversial Diesel’s ‘Be Stupid’ or Levi’s ‘Go Forth’ campaigns combined, but of course is less provoking than the first one and less rebellious than the second one.
New ideas are often sourced from previous approaches. Miller Lite has returned to the old ‘It’s Miller Time’ tagline (now it has a new meaning) to encourage Americans to spend more time with their friends—not only for a beer. While in the previous campaigns under this slogan, which was used by Miller High Life in 1970’s and then returned for Miller Lite from 1997 to 2002, beer was positioned as a reward after hard work, now the focus got shifted to sociability. The new U.S. campaign, which is set to roll across multiple platforms including TV, social media and print, is to help the Miller Lite beer, which is the fourth biggest-selling beer brands in the USA, revive since its overall shipments dropped by 4.3 percent last year, CNBC reports.
Toyota has launched a bunch of lovely promotional initiatives dedicated to its Prius Family (remember the search for the plural form of Prius or the launch of a dedicated hub www.toyotapriusprojects.com), and there’s no reason to stop this successful movement. Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A., Inc. has teamed up with Saatchi & Saatchi LA to develop the new fully-integrated campaign titled ‘The Game of Life with Prius c’ for the latest addition to the Prius Family. The new marketing effort, which is infused with youthful spirit, clearness and freshness, is targeted at urban dwellers of 20 or 30-something, who are considering the purchase of a functional and fuel-efficient urban vehicle (which might be the first car in their life) at an accessible price.
