BBDO Launches ‘You’re Not YouTube’ Extension for Snickers

By Erik Oster 

BBDO’s “You’re Not You When You’re Hungry” campaign for Snickers has been around for years, but the agency keeps finding ways to rejuvenate it, such as this year’s Super Bowl spot starring Danny Trejo as Marcia Brady. Now the agency has teamed up YouTubers from around the world for a new “You’re Not YouTube” campaign extension.

Each of the videos features a YouTube personality acting unlike their self due to hunger. In the sole video out of the U.S., for example, Jessica Harlow takes a break from style and motivation to instead explore “How to Let Yourself Go!” Harlow goes from motivational and style-savvy to remote-grabbing stick wielding and sweat-pants wearing without proper sustenance in the sarcastic video.

The worldwide campaign is actually pretty huge, with efforts from 13 YouTube personalities in eight different countries. We’ve included a few of the international efforts below, and you can head on over to Adweek to see the rest.
