According to the agency, the iris team wrote the stories of these characters and their frustrations with a touch of wry humour, to resonate with the local audience.“Through the films, we hope to show how the Smoke-less Indoor Grill makes barbecues easier and more convenient than ever, and spark a new trend of indoor barbecue gatherings,” Canice Koh, marketing manager at Philips Singapore, said.“The campaign was conceptualised and narrated with a clear intention to resonate with what people love and hate about barbecues. Anyone who watches the films will see themselves or their friends and family in it, because they are so relatable," Boo Wei Yi and Pearlyn Ong, senior creatives at iris Singapore added,.Campaign Credits:Client: Philips SingaporeAgency: iris SingaporeMarketing manager: Canice Koh Kheng SiangSenior marketing executive: Luo YanfangExecutive creative director: Ed CheongCreative lead (Art): Boo Wei YiCreative lead (Copy): Pearlyn OngCreative (Art): Chng Woon ChienBusiness director: Francesca BabetSenior account manager: Linda AvrianiAccount executive: Chiam Ning RongSenior planner: James Honda-PinderJunior community manager: Rebekah AnthonyTV producers: Tasmin Vosloo & Jenni StiebelProduction house: Big Blue Production
