Staging a marketing stunt missionfrom @drinksult
[01]
Overview
The creators, representing the UK brand SULT, explain their 'beef' with the US competitor Liquid I.V. for sponsoring the London Marathon. They outline and execute a seven-step plan to confront them, which involves going undercover as construction workers, driving their branded truck to the competitor's pop-up shop in Soho, and offloading a giant inflatable version of their product. They take photos for social media, enter the store to 'pay a visit,' and offer their own electrolyte product to the staff, positioning it as a healthier, low-sugar alternative.
