It’s My Time | Benetton Global Casting Competition

Incrível como idéias muito simples caem como luvas para algumas marcas.
Usar consumidores reais nas campanhas não é uma novidade. Fazer um site onde você pode subir sua foto e concorrer, também não é.

Mas a Benetton, que sempre ilustrou suas campanhas privilegiando a igualdade, e transformou isso em um valor de sua marca, acertou em cheio fazendo justamente um projeto que não é novidade, mas que é tão acertivo que merece destaque e respeito.

Um concurso para qualquer pessoa do mundo se transformar na cara da Benetton. Nada melhor para ilustrar a igualdade e a beleza global do que trazendo as pessoas para perto.

Os critérios da competição são os seguintes: 100 ganhadores vão receber um vale compras de 200 euros, 20 desses ganhadores vão ser levados a NY e participarão do catálogo Outono/Inverno 2010.

O que eles procuram? Algo diferente, não convencional, surpreendente e real. Não é só na aparência, eles querem alguém que se destaque pelo que realmente é.

Então passe lá, participe e vote. É pra todo mundo.
