USN Committed to losing weight

USN - SA's BEST SELLING WEIGHT LOSS BRAND

When you're committed to losing weight

THE BRIEF

Each year, when summer is around the corner weight loss is front and center in the minds and priorities of everyone’s collective consciousness. Everyone wants to lose weight and Everybody is selling a quick solution. So how do we position USN as the authority and top of mind weight loss brand, at a time when everyone is selling quick fixes.


THE CHALLENGE

Every year during Sept to April (Summer time), weight loss is in the minds and priorities of everyone’s collective consciousness. Everyone wants to lose weight and our feeds are flooded with quick solutions.


So how do we break the perception that USN is not only for fitness addicts spending endless hours in the gym, but for any person who is serious about losing weight?


So we got a plane, travelled halve the world and pitched an idea our client did not see coming!

THE BRAVE APPROACH

Let's be honest: The first thing that comes to mind when people want to lose weight is to go on a diet. Just search "how to lose weight" and you will discover an overwhelming amount of the latest celebrity diets, wonder products and ancient solutions that will leave you for dead. So how do we break through the clutter and position USN as the authority and the top of mind weight loss brand in all South Africans minds?


THE BRAVE APPROACH


Well, we take on the latest diet fads.

Because at USN we know diets are short term tactics and does not represent a sustainable long term solution to people's weight problems.


You can however get a sustainable solution from USN if you are committed to losing weight!



Making weight loss personal!

A unique and recognizable communication structure to associate and connect with our diverse audience whilst maintaining brand consistency across all platforms.


Getting people to talk about the truth. Diet is a BAD BAD WORD!

taking on "crazy diets" on national radio

What better way to launch our campaign than taking on the latest diet fads and trends on national radio stations. And did we have some fun!


Our objective was very clear:  To focus on the the ridiculous diet fads and our acknowledgement as a brand of the obvious: That people look for shortcuts to lose weight whatever it takes - and we all know shortcuts never last!


Little did we know consumers could not wait to share their own stories on air with the result being USN was quite the talk of the town!



"Isn't it time to ditch the fads and get the solution that really works!"


Content is king!

A brave podcast series most weight loss brands would not like their consumers to know...

 Tell them what the need to know, even if they don't buy your product!

In support of the campaign and to position USN as the leading weight loss authority, we developed a complete podcast series to educate and inform consumers on the principles for successful weight loss.


Our objective was very clear: 

Build brand credibility & trust and become the #1 brand of choice if you are committed to losing weight!

Decide.

Commit.

Succeed.


The result?

What do you get if you have a client that is BRAVE enough to take on the word "diet"? A single minded campaign that breaks through the clutter and becomes the talk of town. Now that is worth the commitment!
