MRM//McCann Romania has ADC*RO’s July 2018’s Best Idea
The Work of the Month as well as the first place in the Digital section of ADC*RO’s July Awards go to MRM//McCann Romania for the campaign KFC – Social me.
The Work of the Month
MRM//McCann Romania launched for KFC Romania the online series SOCIAL ME, a production inspired by real stories that exaggerate the difference between the person that we build in social media and the person in the real life. SOCIAL ME is a study case about what is happening when the teenagers let themselves driven by the rush for likes. The series is built starting from the brand’s local philosophy: Fii pe bune, nu perfect! (Be real, not perfect!) The campaign is signed by Corina Ionita (senior art Director) and Mihai Vasile (senior copywriter).
Because it had the courage to force the limit of the classic media format and to go where the consumers awaited for it – on YouTube and social media, because it did it through an entertainment piece that speaks totally about the brand’s values and because it was among the firsts (I am sure many more will follow), KFC truly deserves to win The Idea of the Month. Congratulations to all of the people involved!” said Sandra Bold, senior creative Publicis London & ADC Romania member.
