INQ's call of the wild
Posted by Eliza Williams, 6 September 2010, 13:33 Permalink Comments (9)
Sid Lee in Paris has created this campaign for the international launch of UK mobile device INQ, which aims to place the brand slap bang in the middle of the yoof market...
The campaign includes a series of online films and posters, based on the tagline Wild Is Calling. The films see a group of lads performing a series of japes, including teaching a parrot in a zoo to swear (above), and using a remote controlled vacumn-cleaning robot to interrupt a game of golf (below). Mayhem ensues, natch.
The Jackass style of the films may be nothing new, but as campaigns such as the recent Diesel Be Stupid prove, such techniques still have the capacity to go down well with the target audience, who eagerly pass them on. The films are directed by Jerome Langdale and Julien Rocher.
The films are accompanied by a series of posters that reinforce their youthful message. The posters feature photography by Benni Valsson, and typography by Check Morris. Three are shown below.

The vids are pretty funny, in a Jackass kinda way, but the print ads are beautiful. They have a real 'yoof' feel, very appealing.
You gotta love a granny rocking out as well.

Sense of details: use Comic Sans MS Font and it would look more like an UGC :)

The print ads are ace, it's just a shame the phone looks like a blackberry - the up-tight businessmans phone of choice.

Trying hard to look real, so obviously just actors.

I agree. Ads are amazingly potent! Wow. And the phone should be given to the designers of the ads and improved upon. For sure! I want to buy a poster. How?
