Hasta La Creative!

Clemenger BBDO Melbourne recently launched a campaign for Snickers called “Hungerithm” that gauges internet anger and adjusts Snickers prices at 7-Eleven accordingly (angrier = cheaper) for a twist on the “You’re Not You When You’re Hungry” brand positioning.

Here’s how the “Hungerithm” works: the algorithm, which is built on a 3,000-word lexicon, analyzes around 14,000 social media posts a day, then determines mood and adjusts the price of Snickers accordingly, dropping to as low as 82% off the normal shelf price (if the internet is really, really angry). To claim their Snickers, consumers simply visit Snickers.com.au and click “Get a Snickers” to generate a unique barcode for the reduced price at their local 7-Eleven. The campaign will run in Australia through June 27, featuring video, digital, outdoor, PR and social elements.

“Considering how quickly the Internet can swing from a place of sharing and enlightenment to one of incredible vitriol, we felt this was the perfect way to bring the ‘You’re Not You When You’re Hungry’ platform to life,” said Clemenger BBDO Melbourne executive creative director Ant Keogh. “A data-led idea that changes the price of a global FMCG brand is an amazing opportunity. To launch it at scale through 7-Eleven is something else again.”

“We’re hoping this shows consumers that Snickers is on their side during trying times, and we plan to satisfy even more hungry consumers by rolling the Hungerithm out globally in 2017,” added Snickers marketing manager Renee Lewington.

Summary: With the NewFronts and Upfronts behind us, and a holiday weekend ahead, it seems like a good time to ask another “20 Questions” about advertising, marketing and media.

Has there ever been a more mealy-mouthed euphemism for layoffs at an advertising agency than “talent calibrations,” used by the Starcom MediaVest Group to explain recent pink slips?
