Why is this work relevant for Media?

85% of the Turkey population spend 350 minutes watching TVC per day. TV series are the most consumed TV content both by the Turkish society in general and our target audience in particular. ‘Kadın’ (Woman) is one of the most popular TV series among our target audience.

Background

Situation 85% of the Turkey population spend 350 minutes watching TVC per day. TV series are the most consumed TV content both by the Turkish society in general and our target audience in particular. ‘Kadın’ (Woman) is one of the most popular TV series among our target audience. Brief The number one competitor of Finish who had been rapidly gaining power, set off on a deeper bond with the localization strategy. Unfortunately, this situation led Finish to lose its leadership in consumer perception against its closest competitor. The brand had to sit on the leaderboard again in the hearts of the target audience. So, we needed a communication that focuses not only on functional benefit but also on emotional benefit. Objectives To create an emotional bond with the target audience through the most loved TV series. To increase loyalty and regain the market leader position.

Describe the creative idea / insights (30% of vote)

We decided to use Bahar, the lead character of the TV series… a character that Turkish women can identify with and is really fond of her. We positioned Finish as a brand that supports women, recognizes them, values them and tries to make their lives easier, thus closing the emotional gap between us and the target audience by going beyond performance communication. To appeal to the audiences, instead of integrating the product we decided to integrate a smile. We made an ad which is an continuation of the scene.

Describe the strategy (20% of vote)

The main character of the series “Bahar” certainly does not have an easy life. She is trying to survive alone with two kids with very limited money and she is also suffering from health problems. Especially in difficult economic conditions like the one Turkey is experiencing at the moment, our target audience feels a deep connection with her, and is inspired by the strength and hope she has despite these difficulties. The only thing the viewer wanted was to see her happy. The family is really poor and she did not even have a dishwasher. We thought this might be a good opportunity for Finish to get involved. But our golden rule was to respect the original content and be as native as possible and make sure that our presence as the brand did not ruin the target audience’s favorite show for them.

Describe the execution (20% of vote)

On November 13, a brand-free communication was launched with 3 influencers. Influencer's tweets are broadcasted as TV band in real-time in related scenes of the series. One of the Influencers tweeted that the main character Bahar needs a dishwasher. That tweet was also broadcasted as a TV band. We also answered this tweet as Finish, and we announced that we had a surprise for Bahar on Twitter and TV band. On November 20, a dishwasher was given as a gift to Bahar by her stepfather. Our integration ad became online just after that scene. In the ad, we see her smiling for the first time because she could have time for herself instead of washing the dishes. Just after the integration, we thanked the stepfather, who gave the machine as a gift, on the Finish Twitter account. And this tweet went online as TV band in that episode.
