Philosophy BBDO South China was awarded creative duties last year in a competitive pitch with a strong brand-related big idea and execution – ‘Unlock Extraordinary’ – which includes a brand video, a series of 6 prints and digital content launching in China, followed by a global roll-out across markets with Vivo presence, including Cambodia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Burma, Russia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam.

The ‘Unlock Extraordinary’ campaign draws upon the belief that deep inside everyone is a piece of extraordinary, waiting to be seen; and that Vivo can help unearth that with its suite of cutting edge technology. And no occasion is more apt to demonstrate this than the FIFA World Cup, where extraordinary happens in abundance, be it on or off the pitch. Taking on this insight, the highly motivating film links together different pre-game ‘pep talks’ that happen moments before the opening ceremony in Russia, capturing the anticipation to celebration as each character’s story unfolds.
‘Unlock Extraordinary’ was a truly star-studded effort, with the film shot by celebrated director duo Josh Melnick and Xander Charity, and the print by famed photographer Tom Oldham.

The campaign also called upon master Chinese calligrapher Fung Siu Wah to inscribe the Chinese campaign line “非凡吧! 这是你的时刻”.
This is another great example of how BBDO helps Chinese brands shine on the world stage, with world-class ideas – such as Alibaba Group’s ‘To the Greatness of Small’ branding campaign they developed in support of the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games earlier this year.
