Wellcome unveils light-hearted TVC

HONG KONG Wellcome's new Chinese New Year campaign aims to leverage the colloquial use of pigs as metaphors for altruism in Chinese culture.

Based around an animated pig puppet, the light-hearted 30-sec TVC highlights how the word ‘pig' is an integrated part of positive perception in Chinese culture. Other executions include print, outdoor and POS.

"We want to create a campaign that is locally relevant and cheerful, but also has a well wishing note," said Danny Chan, CD at McCann-Erickson Guangming, which developed the campaign.

Wellcome's marketing director Diane Chiu added: "Our objectives are to create empathy for the brand through an emotional connection, and emphasis our hardcore commitment in offering the best value."
