View Script

Write a short summary of what happens in the radio or audio execution or campaign.

In a series of radio spots, we introduced a new type of self-defense for kids against bullying – mental martial arts. In each spot our mental martial art master teaches a different technique, inspired by ancient Kung Fu.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

Kids are bullied at schools and online across the globe. Bullying excludes kids from making friends and joining groups, damaging their self-confidence and future growth. Sprite stands for fun and togetherness and therefore must support bullied kids.

‘The Mask of the Owl’ MVO 1 (With heavy reverb and a mystical oriental musical sting) Welcome to the Sprite School of Mental Martial Arts. The ancient art of beating bullies with the power of the mind. MVO 2 (Japanese accent) A bully wants to see you cry. Or cower in fear. Or blush the colour of a ripe rambutan! Google it. But when they do not see you cry or cower or blush, they become weak and confused, like when your father plays Fortnite. HA HA! Look at him! He doesn’t even know what this is! So, you will show bullies no emotion. You will learn (with heavy echo) The Mask of the Owl. Look at an owl. He is blinking. He is staring. WHAT DO YOU WANT OWL? He does not say. WHAT DO YOU WANT? See? He blinks. He stares. He gives nothing but those still eyes and that occasional total rotation of his head. CURSE YOU, OWL! And thank you. Give the bully nothing. Be strong. Be still. Be the owl. There will be more lessons from the Sprite School of Mental Martial Arts soon. (A random martial arts noise, such as…) GWWN-TCHAO!
