Campaign/Program – Day of the Dead comes to life in many ways across the globe, but one thing the celebrations all have in common is rejoicing via food, drink, music, artwork and communal activities. Modelo helped set the scene for the celebration by deploying 10-by-15-foot Day of the Dead themed murals in cities such as Washington D.C., Charleston South Carolina, Miami, Fort Lauderdale and New York. Using their mobile phones, celebrants could bring the murals to life by looking at them through their screens.
Insights – If context is king for brands seeking to match the mood of a given audience, adding to a party is a surefire way to get context right. Modelo dressed up the cities in its campaign with interactive, engaging Day of the Dead imagery that played into the public’s fascination with augmented reality — making a day of fantastical imagery all the more real for customers, old and new.
