Write a short summary of what happens in the film

After years of a scattered marketing approach, Fanta needed to be reintroduced to the world in a modern, meaningful way. To do this, the brand launched a new brand purpose aimed at inspiring the playful side in everyone. However, for their teen target, “play” no longer looks like the cliche smiles and high fives we’re used to seeing in marketing. It looks like the millions of funny videos being uploaded to YouTube, TikTok and Instagram every day. This resulting campaign, “In The Name of Play,” celebrates the real people behind some if these hilariously dumb videos. The true champions of play. The campaign launched with an anthem film, “Idiots are Amazing,” that treats internet stars like other brands would treat superstar athletes. Featuring the real clips and the real people behind them, the work aims to inspire the idiot in all of us.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

Fanta needed a global brand message that resonated across different markets, cultures and age groups. As research proved, funny internet videos are a truly universal language. Teens across the globe are sharing playful content to digital platforms like TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat and YouTube at an unprecedented rate. This reinterpretation of “play” has made Fanta universally relevant.

Idiots. You can call us that. But if being an idiot can lead to greatness Then that’s a sacrifice worth making This isn’t about fame, glory or medals It’s about doing something incredible for no reason at all Because to become a true champion Takes more than just blood, sweat and tears Its takes courage, grit and determination There is greatness inside all of us So isn’t it time you set yours free And the show the world how amazing an idiot can be.
