The Brief
Fanta is the new synonym for 'Play'. Priding themselves as on being the Ambassador of Fun in Egypt, Fanta orchestrated a large scale PS football tournament across ten governorates to ensure their position as Ambassador of Fun is solidified and known to their target and potential target audience. Fanta wanted to create the biggest on ground activation related to PS gaming in Egypt. This PS gaming fest was supported by a series of TV ads, OOH network, radio ads and heavy presence on social media.
Describe how the promotion developed from concept to implementation
it was concluded that 'play' in Egyptians' book means Football Playstation. This was used as the founding base for our nationwide PS gaming tournament. Up and coming comedian Ahmed El Garhy monitored the updates of the tournament, namely during the semifinals and of course the finals. Our Fanta-PS extravanganza; music, confetti, trophies and Fanta cans for all, took the country by storm. It was a most memorable day.
The winner won a massive trophy, along with the grand prize: An all expense paid trip to Spain, to watch the Barcelona football team play for the winner and two friends.
