Rapper Costa Titch and soul singer Boskasie collaborate on a new hit
OROS summer campaign brings fun, youthful energy to much-loved South African brand
A unique campaign fusing music, a TV commercial, live activations as well as a social media and influencer drive, has helped to reposition South Africa's much-loved OROS brand for a new generation of fun-loving young people.
As part of the campaign, homegrown hip hop and R&B come together in a unique collaboration between innovative South African artists – rising crossover rapper Costa Titch and soul singer Boskasie. They team up on the infectious new track Rather Be With You as part of the OROS Just Add Fun campaign.
The campaign comes with a vibrant TV commercial produced by Left Post Productions and filmed in Johannesburg's hip Braamfontein district. Directed by Amr Singh, the TVC sees OROS bringing young people together and inspiring a host of good times, while showcasing the talents of local music artists. The ad features a muso, a skateboarder and a fashionista hooking up in Braam for a day of fun and self-expression, as the OROS Man comes out to play and dynamic, animated OROS splash motifs come to life in the real world, with the OROS summer anthem as the soundtrack.
"OROS is a refreshingly playful drink, and we believe that play makes the world a better place,"
said Ismail Nanabhay, marketing director: beverages for Tiger Brands.
“OROS allows us to have fun in a serious world, and the Just Add Fun campaign emphasises the special place OROS has had in the hearts of South Africans since 1899."
"We were looking to modernise OROS to appeal to younger teens and our young-adult target audience,”
said Leanne Ford, marketing manager: beverages for Tiger Brands.
“An exciting music activation was pivotal to appealing to that market and those who identify with its dynamic attitude and energy.”
Ford said OROS had looked to partner with upcoming South African talent and was fortunate to have found artists as talented as Costa Titch and Boskasie to create the epic, fun-filled OROS track – an anthem for the summer season.
“The new OROS track shows how we have grown from being seen as a kids brand,”
said Ford.
“OROS is a truly South African brand that appeals to both the young and forever young.
"Almost all South Africans grow up with OROS. Even as teens and young adults, OROS is part of our lives – this is the youthful energy that the OROS Just Add Fun campaign expresses."
Besides the TVC and the OROS Summer anthem, the Just Add Fun campaign includes influencer, social-media and radio activations, in-store promotions, a competition, new product launches, gaming tie-ins and flash-mob events.
