Campaigns we have run in Softdrink
Work we planned, booked and photographed for advertisers in this sector, run by the same team and the same process you would work with.
Auto hood branding for a twelve hour cold box
A hot case that holds temperature for twelve hours is a straightforward promise that needs a straightforward format. Auto-rickshaw hoods carried the claim, the product shot and the contact details across the residential and market roads where household purchases like this are made. The hood is read from behind and from the side, which is why it works for a product that needs its claim read rather than glanced at.
Autos reach the internal roads and market lanes that fixed outdoor skips, at a cost that lets a single product carry a whole campaign. Putting the number and the website on the same panel means the format asks for a response rather than only building recall.
Every placement shown was booked directly with the media owner and photographed on the ground by our team.
