It’s been nearly a year since we last heard from SMFB, but the Oslo-based agency has returned with a timely summer campaign for Norwegian multinational oil/gas company, Statoil. In an effort to “Keep Summer Going,” SMFB has teamed up with Dutch content creation shop Made.For.Digital to produce several 45-second videos based on the improvisational techniques known as “life hacks.”
Perhaps you’re familiar…
In the series of 10 clips–which were shot in the always-pleasant Ibiza–we’re shown a variety of simple tips and techniques to make your summertime revelry that much more pleasant.
Whether it’s turning dental floss into a makeshift knife to cut cake at a picnic (above) or opening a bottle with a few folded sheets of paper (below), the life hacks presented by the rather adept couple in the videos are clever, efficient and–most importantly–helpful!
Regarding the digitally-driven campaign, SMFB creatives Pia Ølstad and Sveinung Arnestad write:
“The 2015 Statoil summer campaign is about getting the most out of summer time, or as we say: Keep Summer Going. For Statoil’s Facebook page we wanted to make something that could actually help our customers. Good, informative content told in a fun and unpretentious tone.
We came up with a package of life hacks designed for the life on the road. Small tips and tricks that can make any road trip a little more comfortable. With a mix of photos and video we show a couple on a summer road trip. Faced with small challenges they come up with imaginative solutions, using things they already have in their car or can find at a Statoil station.
Hopefully, the summer of 2015 can be the summer of life hacks.”
