The use of rap and dance execution captures the attention of the young people, especially among the heavy media clutter."The appeal has proven successful to communicate the new position to the brand’s target segment as viewers tend to watch it several times just to capture the rhyming lyrics,” said Wan.Cashing in on the recent Buddhist pop album craze, the brand has worked with its digital partner Razorfish to create an ad visual on Facebook under a converted tagline “Kinder Live” (translated version) ridding on local star Nicholas Tse’s renowned pop song “VIVA Live” in order to ramp up viral power.Media duty was brokered by Mindshare Hong Kong.The original Middle East version:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tTj0mRqnlI
