The Campaign

We found that divorces grew by 57% since 2014 in Italy. We found also that 45% of Italians betray the partners. So, what a better day than Valentine's Day to tell a story? So, on Valentine's Day, we published a funny film made entirely with stock royalty free videos on social media platforms. It was about a love story gone wrong. A love story made of boxes, toothbrushes and annoying little dogs. And in the end we revealed the way to get the sweetest revenge on the exes: to sell all their stuff on Subito, the leader second-hand marketplace in Italy.

Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service

Subito is the leader second-hand marketplace in Italy. And our work “Valentine’s Revenge” tells people to sell their exes’ stuff instead of throwing it away or burning it. We launched our message on Valentine’s Day, when the anger for a love story gone wrong is stronger. And we redirected the viewers directly on the selling page of Subito’s website.

Target audience: Italian males and females, 25-45 years old. Italy. Approach: We choose to use an ironic tone of voice to speak to our users emotions about love. The aim: to invite them to sell their exes’ stuff on Subito.
