Unilever’s objective was to connect Lynx Ice Chill to key pop culture moments by targeting male Generation Z’s through their passion points of gaming and pop culture (TV and movies).

Says Dan Hill, CEO, Val Morgan: “PHD & Lynx were able to utilise the large audience reach of Val Morgan and Fandom, whilst simultaneously engaging people who are passionate about movies, gaming and entertainment. The Lynx campaign is a great example of brand funded content, traditionally seen only online, now leveraging an offline audience via cinema.”

Says Kathryn Furnari, group business director, PHD: “Val Morgan and Fandom have delivered a strong solution by creating custom content that can be broadcast at scale not only across the small screen but also the big screen, nationally.  PHD was thrilled to deliver Unilever with an Australian first to launch their new product.”

Bespoke localized content was created to reinforce Lynx Ice Chill’s key message of “you’re hotter when you’re chill” tying the story into this audience’s love of pop culture phenomena’s like Game of Thrones, Mario Bros and Fortnite. The first of the six videos will launch today, and others will run through the end of July 2019.

In addition to the video content, the campaign will be amplified via a movie marathon that will be held across HOYTS cinemas in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane showing the latest action hero blockbusters with some iconic films now part of mainstream pop culture.

Says Marc Holloway, brand lead ANZ, Lynx: “As we know, the Gen Z audience is hard to reach. Following the success of our Lynx Australia campaign, we partnered with Val Morgan and Fandom knowing they could help us reach our target audience in a relevant and engaging way through local creative that resonates. We are excited to see our content amplified across digital and cinema.”
