TBWA DAN\Paris launched a new campaign for OPI, creating an alphabet and language using shades of the brand’s nail polish.
The brand introduces the idea with the 90-second launch video above. In it, a red drop introduces itself as the letter “A,” saying, “My mom thinks I’m very classy, but I can also be pretty naughty.” From there, all the other letters are presented, and the idea really starts to come to life when they are used to form words and sentences. These range from “Hello world,” to “Happy birthday Grandma,” to “Marry me now” and a certain four-letter word (you can find out which one for yourself). At the center of the campaign is an app which allows users to send messages using the language, and translates incoming messages. The campaign also includes print and OOH executions that make use of the same branded language, as well as merchandise like a t-shirt, mug and tote featuring different executions of the idea.
