A Cry for Hydration

Creative idea

In order for Studena, a challenger water, to stand out on the market, we built a bold idea: saying “I’m dying of thirst” may be a joke, but dehydration is dead serious. So instead of classic warnings, Studena “mourned” the dehydrated in the campaign “A Cry for Hydration!” We cast real traditional mourners, who usually perform at funerals, and placed them in a campaign for people who jokingly say they are dying of thirst. They delivered funny lines about everyday dehydration moments, creating viral content, including a 2-minute video and social posts. Through a social media activation, followers could tag friends, and the Wailers made custom videos.
