BBDO New York continued its campaign for Snickers Crisper with a new spot entitled “Hunger Innovations.”
The online spot takes the form of a home shopping video, selling products for hunger-induced problems. There’s the punching pillow for when you’re angry and sleepy (angreepy), the tissue box swear jar for when you’re sad and vulgar (sulgar) and the astro tiara, for when you’re a spacey princess (sprincess). The schtick leads into the tagline, “Hunger keeps inventing new problems, so we invented new Snickers Crisper.” While the approach isn’t anything too surprising for the brand, offering the latest in the Crisper’s spin on Snicker’s “You’re Not You When You’re Hungry,” viewers may be surprised to learn that the products featured in the ad are actually on sale on eBay, via HungerInnovations.com. So if you just can’t live without an astro tiara, you can buy one for $59.99 (also the price displayed in the ad). The agency also created a pair of videos taking advantage of Facebook’s muted autoplay feature. Each features a demonstration of a “hunger innovation” such as “angreepy” with what appear to be music videos. Viewers can tap on the video to hear the musical accompaniment, which is not at all what you’d expect from the visual.
