Milk is the original superdrink but it's one that's been ignored
by the current generation of consumers. Instead they're opting for
special water, energy drinks and carbonated options.
Todays's teens are embarrassed about drinking milk in front of
their peers despite it's many and proven health benefits.
The challenge was to highlight these benefits while also
boosting milk's social acceptability.
The solution was to treat milk as a rock band and sell it across
TV, via music and social media and online. A band called White Gold
was created with a lead singer who sings about milktastical teeth,
hair and muscles and backed by the Calcium Twins on drum and
base.
Content was distributed via TV, using three full-length music
videos, with extra tracks available via iTunes, a presence on
YouTube, Facebook, MYSpace, Lastfm as well as via the band's
website whitegoldiswhitegold.com.
The videos reached more than 500,000 consumers, the website was
visited by nearly 125,000 consumers who spent an average of five
and a half minutes with social network profiles attracting nearly
250,000 views.
Awareness of the whole campaign was 35% with the tagline
recalled by 97% of consumers.
