CHALLENGE
Finns knew the Leijona (Lion) watch brand far too well ... nobody was interested. The brand imagery was dated – the image "a stuffy confirmation school gift". Leijona required a totally new brand positioning to help start a new era. The new target audience is a section of the Finnish population with attitude and a habit to growl occasionally.
SOLUTION
We appeal to the Finnish team spirit and brawn – comparing it with "delicate foreign wimps". Here goes! Despite its roughness, its a feelgood campaign with a twinkle in the eye – and with high quality imagery, materials and website.
WHAT HAPPENED
The concept was awarded a silver prize in the annual Finnish Advertising Awards competition in 2012 and what's best of all, the customer is very pleased with the brand's new energy.
