Somersby rolls out strange, yet catchy video with Lam Suet and To Siu Kiu

Carlsberg’s cider brand Somersby has launched an entertaining video featuring celebrities Lam Suet and To Siu Kiu to raise awareness of the brand.The campaign developed by DDB Group Hong Kong aims to reinforce Somersby’s carefree and refreshing personality while appropriating pop culture by featuring celebrities Lam Suet and To Siu Kiu singing and dancing to the re-arranged nursery rhyme ‘I’m a big apple (我是一個大蘋果)’.The task was made fun and engaging with the light-hearted lyrics, catchy music and comedic dance moves of the comedic celebrity duo. The ultimate aim is that Hong Kong young adults will then be able to associate Somersby with apples, a refreshing taste, and also being carefree and fun.Kelvin Cheng, marketing director at Carlsberg said, “We loved DDB’s unconventional way of doing an education campaign. The lyrics and imagery connect consumers’ enjoyment with the product, it’s benefits and the best occasions to drink it. We look forward to seeing this entertaining campaign liked and shared by viewers on social media platforms.”Jeff Tsang, creative director at DDB Group Hong Kong said, “Leveraging the product’s refreshing image, we wanted to highlight the association of the cider taste with the brand. We played on this original and fun song and dance to reinforce the consumers’ enjoyment – whilst also celebrating the apple flavour through lyrics.”After the launch of the video, a UGC campaign will follow in May, allowing social media users to simply submit a photo or short video of themselves doing the dance. Each entry will then be in the running to win 365 bottles of Somersby – a bottle to enjoy every day of the year or two Apple iPads.The campaign will also be featured on online channels and at some karaoke joints.Credits Director of client services: Benny Ko Creative director: Jeff Tsang, Gary Lee Copywriter: Phoebe Chan Art dirctor: Monique Tse Business director: Clara Ma Associate account director: Stannie Li Senior account executive: Kelsey Wong Head of TV production: Annie Tong Producer: Chuen Media agency: IPGMediabrand
