The Campaign

Control Packages never spoke to the youth before; we had to make a great effort to break through the already well established perception of it being a product to the mass, to being a product that tailors to the youth specific needs. We did this by building our creative idea on a situation that the youth aspired too; A situation free of control, portraying an occasion where authority did not affect them, disregarding orders to make their own decisions and take their own risks. To reflect this creative in a real, humorous and lighthearted way, the coach had to be a good actor yet we didn't want his stardom to be center of the ad nor over shadow the creative. So we featured a well-known celebrity called Akram Hosni known by “Abou Hafiza”who set the trend to the youth jokes, yet we introduced him in a fresh and new character that wasn’t seen before.
