Volkswagen Colombia was the official sponsor of FICCI – Festival Internacional de Cine de Cartagena for several years. We developed these posters linking the brand to the history of cinema in a compelling way.
We addressed the real problem with menstrual cramps: the emotional changes that go along with them. And we reflected the consequences of those changes speaking the language of teen girls: love, drama, music, music video format… The result: a brand that surpassed the category leader in just 18 months. A campaign that was exported to other countries in latin America.
