Problem Statement

When Google announced its new logo with a doodle using crayons, well known stationery brand Kokuyo Camlin realised it was the perfect opportunity to respond in line with its core proposition – ‘Let’s Have Fun’

Identified Objectives

To build on the social media buzz created by Google’s launch of its new logo and establish a direct connect with Kokuyo Camlin’s Crayons range.

The Strategy/Execution

To welcome the logo change and highlight the product connect with the crayon-drawn Google doodle, Big I Tuna created a micro video with a ‘Love The Change’ response using similar graphics. The video closed with the direct product connect of ‘If it’s Crayons, its Camlin’. The video was posted on Camlin’s Facebook page. @Kokuyo_Camlin shared the video with @Google on Twitter less than 24 hrs after the new Google logo was unveiled.
