Brief

During the height of MCO, demand for digital devices and data plans surged. To get people to sign up for their plans, many telcos were offering cheap or free devices, and U Mobile was one of them. But with so many choices in the market, how could we hook audiences and get them to remember U Mobile’s unbelievable offerings?

Solution

We created a hypnotic video with an unbelievably catchy song. Using the well-known Infernal Galop (can can) as a base, we added our own lyrics and twist to the song to make it 1000x more addictive. Visually, we used repetition and a hypnotic-type effect to get people to watch. Complemented with high energy editing, this video was a certified banger that stayed in brains for days.
