First campaign created as a response to the global pandemic

With the end of April, Philips launched its first global campaign „Let’s make home a better place to be“ as a response to the situation the whole world was in where Coronavirus pandemic caused a significant change in consumers everyday lifes. Most of the population was in quarantine which meant that homes became offices, gyms, kindergardens and schools. Philips wanted to show that everyday life can be much simpler and cosier with Philips inovative technology.

Adjusting the global campaign to Croatian market included products from coffee, garment care, kitchen appliances and floor care categories. Main objectives were to integrate all categories into an umbrella campaign tailored to local consumers and to create a communication concept and a communication plan with a focus on the main messages of the campaign. Our task was to devise which communication tools will be used when addressing consumers in order to gain their attention and stimulate engagement. Given the wide product portfolio, the target group was also very wide and included young and old generations, families, coffee enthusiasts and people who practice a healthy lifestyle.
