Pocari Sweat: Fast rehydration

POCARI SWEAT is an Ion supply drink that contains similar minerals to the fluid in our body which can quickly replenish the sweat that we lost from doing activities. In Thailand, the general conception was that POCARI SWEAT is a sports drink for sports people, but in fact people lose water from their body through daily activities, not just after a workout.

We then create a visual impact which gives a new impression for the brand and evokes attention through the details of the craft from the idea conception in order to clearly convey that “every drop of sweat lost from every activity can be replaced with the POCARI SWEAT bottle in your hand”.

Because pores exist all over our body, we go with a hand painting technique to create a millimeter-scaled illustration. We draw the details of each drop of sweat that form a shape of a human body showing no skin to emphasize the message that every drop of sweat is replaced by the product that we incorporate into the work. Our team have studied the realistic aspect of sweat from a macro image of sweat to render the most realistic image, shape, light and shadow, size or even movement of sweat from different angles. This artwork invites people to come and have a close-up look at the details while at the same time creates an impact to those looking at it from a distance.

McDonald's Integrated Ad - #BedaRodaSatuJalur

Many Indonesians think that Drive Thru is only destined for cars, and it’s always become a BIG QUESTION for other rides. And since pandemic, McD has opened Drive Thru for all rides. But still, none of them aware about it. Thus we need to spread the news widely and at once encourage other rides to our Drive Thru.

The idea came from a simple insight that Indonesia is a diverse country. And it’s not only shown in our culture, but also on the road. But McD believes that there’s no such differences that can’t be united. So we launched #BedaRodaSatuJalur (Different Rides, One Lane).

Joann Fabrics: Nightmare on Phyllis' Street

JOANN, the nation’s category leader in sewing and fabrics and one of the fastest growing players in the arts and crafts industry, is bringing back comedy star Phyllis Smith in a hilarious Halloween campaign that is “sew” spooky, it might just inspire everyone to make their own DIY costumes this year.

The centerpiece of the campaign is a new docu-style webisode titled “Nightmare on Phyllis’ Street” that follows the craft-obsessed Phyllis as she attempts to win points with her boss by making a Halloween costume for the boss’ daughter that will also be entered into the annual neighborhood costume contest. There’s only one problem: Phyllis’ design has been ruined because she accidentally spilled red paint all over it.

The episode features notable DIY fashion influencer April Yang (aka @coolirpa), who comes to Phyllis’ rescue despite being her crafting nemesis, having beaten Phyllis every year to claim first prize in the contest. However, Phyllis has plans to “slaughter” the competition by secretly entering the costume unbeknownst to April. Throughout the episode, tension builds as ominous phone calls and the presence of a shadowy figure turn Phyllis’ craft room into a house of horrors.
