San Francisco-based independent creative agency Mekanism today released its first campaign for Fiverr,”the world’s largest marketplace of creative and digital services for entrepreneurs and small business.”
Mekanism was appointed agency of record for the brand in July, following a review.
The campaign, entitled “Connections,” launches today and is centered around a 45-second spot. Employing a split-screen approach, the anthem ad follows a project manager and freelance designer who find each other thanks to Fiverr and turn out to be a perfect match.
“One gig (job) is purchased on Fiverr every few seconds. We wanted to showcase how easily and effortlessly a customer with a need and a freelancer with a skill can connect through the site,” Mekanism executive creative director David Horowitz said in a statement. “This idea of seamless connection became the creative inspiration for all the work.”
“Connections” also includes a 15- and six-second social ads and OOH elements initially running in New York and Chicago. The outdoor ads feature Fiverr community members such as Brooklyn digital marketing manager Devonta White and freelance designer and 2D animator Darrent DeFreitas.
