Case Fisherman’s Friend

CASE: CAMPAIGN FOR FISHERMAN’S FRIEND
Animated campaign for Fisherman’s Friend
For Fisherman’s Friend, we created an animated summer campaign with their new tagline: “FF doorbijten!” In this campaign they focus on ambitious young people between the ages of 18 and 35. The message: “Fisherman’s Friend gives you a mental boost.”
We developed a cinematic animation style using a lot of brand assets. We came up with stories that related to the target group and the message. We chose a student who had to take an exam, a junior who wants to prove himself in the workplace and a young man who wants to jump off a rock on vacation. We have brought back the iconic Fisherman as a motivator/mental coach. We have made it visually clear that when using the product, he appears in the mind of the main character. The result: 6 eye-catching commercials.
Result: Reach and engagement
For the online launch of the campaign on Youtube, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, we worked together with online marketing agency Yonego. The first campaign run was a great success. The targets have been surpassed with a total reach of 39 million impressions and a unique reach of 13 million users. What also stood out was the high viewing ratio and engagement. The campaign in TikTok has even gone viral with more than 70,000 likes and hundreds of comments and shares.
OUR RESULTS
THE SEQUEL
Further development of the concept
After the summer campaign, we further developed the concept. The slogan didn’t stop at ‘FF doorbijten!’, but we have made it flexible so that it can be adapted to the content of the video. For example: “FF frisse adem” and “FF de keel smeren”.
We made 2 winter commercials of which we also made a special Christmas version. One of the commercials is about a sports supporter. We delivered different versions of this, in which the supporter always wore a different shirt. This way, a different version could be broadcasted per region
Now also on prime-time television
This campaign was even bigger than the summer campaign, so these commercials were often seen on prime-time television and during major sports competitions. They also advertised the animations on Reddit, an online platform that is relatively unknown in the Netherlands, but is becoming increasingly popular.
FUN FACTS
The campaign was the first paid Dutch advertisement on TikTok. And for the first time in the brand’s history, the fisherman is animated.
