(Marketingmagazine.com.my) – This week we shine the spotlight on Rubber Boy, the campaign done by Leo Burnett for Petronas that won Gold in the ProBono/Government/Cultural category at this year’s APPIES Malaysia awards.
At the beginning of 2016, the Malaysian ‘consumer sentiment index’ was down by 20% and ‘business conditions index’ plummeted by 30%. Malaysians were just not in the mood to celebrate Chinese New Year.
While other brands hyped up the ads that celebrated a ‘Prosperous New Year’, the agency decided to redefine the meaning of prosperity, by reminding Malaysians of their most important possession – their loved ones.
The ‘Rubber Boy’ campaign became the most successful CNY campaign for PETRONAS in consumer engagement and brand equity gains. It also got the highest spontaneous brand recall for PETRONAS during and post the CNY period.
