Havas Malaysia Elevates 100PLUS as the Drink to Fuel Malaysians’ Aspirations in Latest Campaign

Havas Malaysia has unveiled an exciting new campaign for 100PLUS, repositioning the iconic isotonic drink from a sports-focused beverage to an everyday hydration solution. As Malaysia’s first and leading isotonic drink, 100PLUS is expanding its relevance beyond the sports arena, offering hydration for daily life and its many challenges.

The campaign, titled ‘Dahagakan apa jua,’ which translates to ‘For all you thirst for,’ is crafted to resonate with Malaysians from all walks of life, highlighting their personal journeys and goals, while positioning 100PLUS as the essential drink that fuels their daily routines and path to success.

‘Dahagakan Apa Jua’ marks 100PLUS’ first significant effort to transition from being perceived solely as a performance drink to embracing a broader role as the nation’s go-to hydration solution and empowering Malaysians to pursue their aspirations.

The campaign features two bite-sized films spotlighting four dynamic personalities: Michiyo Ho, a rising content creator gaining popularity; M. Syah, a hardworking food delivery rider navigating the bustling streets of Klang Valley to earn a living; Tunway, a passionate streetwear enthusiast who has founded his own clothing brand; and two-time Olympic cycling medallist Dato’ Azizulhasni Awang, affectionately known as the ‘Pocket Rocketman’.

Together, they represent the different dreams and many aspirations across the country, illustrating how 100PLUS supports and fuels their journeys toward achieving the goals they thirst for.

Complementing the films is a series of engaging social media content that delves deeper into the unique aspirations of each personality, exploring what they genuinely thirst for in life and how 100PLUS plays a role in their stories.

“We needed a compelling idea to reposition 100PLUS from a brand primarily associated with athleticism to one that addresses the daily hydration needs of all Malaysians. After all, 100PLUS, being packed with electrolytes, hydrates 33% faster than water. We are all participants in this journey called life and our daily efforts to achieve our goals require constant hydration.

Whether it is making a living, building a reputation, or making a difference, we all pursue what matters most to us. This inspired our campaign idea, ‘Dahagakan Apa Jua’ (For All You Thirst For),” explained Donevan Chew, Chief Creative Officer of Havas Malaysia, on the creative process behind this campaign.

“Havas Malaysia once again impressed us with their strategic creativity and holistic response to our brief. The team demonstrated nuanced insights into Malaysian consumers that will help us to continue to be the isotonic brand of choice for our nation,” said Leong Wai Yin, Marketing Director of F&N Beverages Marketing Sdn Bhd.

The campaign is being launched across television, out-of-home (OOH) advertising, point-of-sale displays, and social media. It will run for two months, from 1 October 2024 to 30 November 2024, throughout Malaysia.

After 20 years of evolving technology, shifting market trends, and adapting to changing consumer behaviour, the media landscape has nearly reached saturation.

We’ve optimised to the fullest, providing advertisers with abundant choices across technology, platforms, data-driven marketing, CTV, OTT, DOOH, influencer marketing, retail, etc.

Media specialists have diversified, but with more options comes the challenge of maintaining income growth. The industry is expanding, but revenue isn’t keeping pace.

Now, we’re at a TURNING POINT: time to explore and harness new sustainable revenue streams. While GroupM forecasts a 7.8% global ad revenue growth in 2024, challenges like antitrust regulation, AI and copyright issues, and platform bans persist.  

Collaboration is key: partnerships that thrive on synergy, shared values, and aligned goals are becoming increasingly essential.

Hence, the Malaysian Media Conference, in its 20th year, has assembled the partners and players under one roof on October 25 for a day of learning, sharing, and exploring.
