Twix challenged ten global BBDO teams to each create a “visually powerful” video for the candy bar that “crosses borders” and plays off of the brand’s ongoing left Twix vs. right Twix rivalry.
According to BBDO, the experiment stemmed from the agency’s quest to improve its global storytelling and nimble content creation skills in today’s quick-turnaround environment.
Once the ads were good to go, they ran in the US, UK and Netherlands. To measure which videos proved the most successful among consumers, Twix measured view-through rates on YouTube (when a user views a video for 30 seconds or until the end, whichever comes first) and surveyed viewers to determine ad recall.
BBDO said the ads all ran on a single day with more than million impressions per country.
