Ver de Noche

In the Spring semester of 2010, I worked at a marketing agency called Ver de Noche in Buenos Aires, Argentina as well as studied at la Universidad de Austral. Though I wont bore you with the details of every unbelievably awesome moment of that time period of my life (seeing as I blogged my stories via www.katiegoestoargentina.tumblr.com I like the 'Perito Moreno' entry) I will show you what I worked on while at Ver de Noche that includes a monthly newsletter, as well as work for clients including Johnson & Johnson and Nescafé.


In regards to Johnson & Johnson, our objective was to come up with a strategy that would increase the public's awareness of Johnson & Johnson's corporate responsibility, and to integrate that objective with an incentive to reward their loyal customers. Our creative brief (in English and Spanish) is below. Please keep in mind that this was due at the end of the internship and therefore weren't around to execute our suggested campaign.

We want to emphasize that J&J products are necessary building blocks for a healthy, happy home.

Suggested Mood/Tone: In order to appeal to our target audience, the best way to reach out would be to have an overall sentimental tone, one that touches the heart and family aspect of the Johnson & Johnson products and that will also inspire them to want to give back to their community. 

Con el fin de atraer a nuestro público objetivo, la mejor manera de llegar sería tener un tono general sentimental, una que toca el corazón y la familia aspecto de la Johnson & Johnson productos y que también les inspiran a querer devolver a su comunidad.

Ideas/Suggested Campaigns

TV Ad: We want to demonstrate the different products in different every day life scenarios. Examples: a mother using baby lotion to bathe her child; a mother using Neosporin and Band-Aids to fix a cut on her child’s knee; a teenager using Clean and Clear acne wash before going to school; a husband and wife taking Splenda with their morning coffee, etc. Ideally, in the next shot, each of the products would come together to form the outline of a house (emphasizing that J&J products are the foundation, or building blocks, of happy, healthy home). Include suggest script below in voiceover format.

Queremos demostrar los diferentes productos en diferentes escenarios de la vida todos los días. Ejemplos: una madre con loción para bebés para bañar a su hijo, una madre que utiliza Band-AID para arreglar un corte en la rodilla de su hijo, un adolescente usando Clean & Clear para elimina el acné antes de ir a la escuela, un marido y mujer usando Listerine antes de salir para trabajo en la mañana, etc. Lo ideal sería que en la siguiente toma, cada uno de los productos que se unen para formar la silueta de una casa (con énfasis en que los productos de J & J son la base, o la construcción de bloques, de feliz, sano en el hogar). Incluya sugieren siguiente secuencia de comandos en formato voz en off. Otros productos que pueden usar son: Siempre Libre, Neutrogena, ROC, hilo dental de Jonson & Jonson, Johnson’s Baby Shampoo, etc.

Print Ad: Utilize the image from the final shot of TV ad (the home built from Johnson & Johnson products). Include suggested script below, with “Johnson & Johnson…Building a better future” as the main focus of the subtext. Optional additional image would be a photo of the chosen community effort.

Tenga en cuenta que en la copia final, no habría una miríada de otros productos de Johnson & Johnson, que se presentará mucho más pequeña para emular ladrillos / bloques de construcción, haciendo hincapié en nuestro lema de "Johnson & Johnson ... Construir un futuro mejor".

The final project centered around Nescafé. A key thing to understand about Argentina's  cultural background: they take their café very seriously. It is something to enjoy while sitting across from a dear, dear friend while conversing for the better part of two hours about how they are really doing, and what is life all about? The sheer thought of café Americano style (on-the-go) is preposterous. In fact, when my co-worker and I stopped at Starbucks before hopping on the bus before work, the porteños would see our café in hand, and look at us as if we had 5 heads, or as if we were disgracing the entire country of Argentina (I mean, they don't even have cup holders in their cars and people actually sit down and eat at Burger King and McDonald's). But, as America has discovered and somewhat thrived on, the on-the-go mentality is immensely popular and incredibly successful. Nescafé, seeing a business opportunity wanted us (the Americans) to figure out way to integrate our on-the-go culture into Argentina, gently

So, we began to brainstorm. Who drinks coffee? Businessmen and women and college students. Where do we drink coffee? At the office/while studying/library. When do we drink coffee? Mornings/early afternoon. Where do we get our coffee? With our breakfast. McDonald's. At the train station. Before the bus stop. While the thoughts continued to pour, ideas started to form. 

Target the businessmen and women at kioskos, which are small convenience-type stores stocked with water, Coke, Sprite, Gatorade, breakfast and candy bars, chips, alfaflores, among other things. Why not café? Pick up your breakfast, grab a cup of free Nescafé. Get them used to the idea gently. The more they get used to the free café, the more they enjoy it, and a new on-the-go market is born. 

Target the students at the universidades. College students everywhere love free things. They also love café thanks to many a late night study-sesh. Why not position Nescafé in their minds as an on-the-go brand as well? Below is a promotional marketing plan/outline for the students of Buenos Aires.
