Tango Berry Peachy

Finalist in Local Campaign

Entered in Food & Beverage, Humor

Objectives

Tango was launching a new soft drink flavour: Berry Peachy.

They wanted to raise awareness of this bold new flavour and reach GenZ (16-24 year olds) with the message to be bigger, bolder and fully express themselves!

More than half of Gen Zs and millennials spend zero hours on ad-supported TV on any given day (Reaching the Unreachables, 2022)

Soft drink commercials are not cutting through to our audience. To reach them we can’t advertise or disrupt their entertainment, we have to immerse ourselves in their culture which, increasingly, is influenced by creators on social media.

63% of US and 58% of UK GenZ audiences trust the product recommendations of content creators (Reaching the Unreachables, 2022)

62% of US and 57% of UK GenZ audiences trust product recommendations of people who follow the same content creators (Reaching the Unreachables, 2022)

 

Strategy and Execution

BACKGROUND

Tango is known for its cheeky and bold advertising going back to the late 1980’s and 90’s.

It flipped the norms of the soft drinks market at the time with the “You know when you've been Tango’d” campaign which propelled the brand to success and became one of the most well-known TV adverts of all time.


STRATEGY

Our audience’s eyes glaze over at the usual, boring, dry soft drink ads. We needed to catch and hold their attention by eliciting emotion via the bold tastemakers of their communities.

TikTok is the playground for bold tastemakers of this generation.

Tango needed to tap into this audience’s sense of humour with the creators they follow and the communities they’re part of on the platform they go to for entertainment: TikTok.

EXECUTION

Our six creators brought their unique angle to introducing Berry Peachy to their audience.
