Grey 2013
Labels are dull and unemotional. So how to you make them exciting and engaging? How do you get labels talked about?
We launched the campaign “Labels are powerful, what does yours say?” Making the subject of labels so much bigger than Tupperware containers and your kids' school uniform. We took Brother labels on a 3000-mile road trip along Route 66, asking the weird and wonderful people we met along the way how they would label themselves. From Cowboys, to strippers, to Vietnam Vets, to Poets, to Cafe owners. 16 interviews, from the funny and inspiring, to the tragic and harrowing.
It featured on Campaign Live, and got Campaign of the Month. It raised sales by 50% and picked up a Silver Campaign Big Award.
