Eclipse extends “Hello” campaign to Asia in new spot via DDB Group Guangzhou + Sydney

Wrigley has launched a new campaign in Asia for Eclipse sugar-free mints. Created by DDB Group Guangzhou and DDB Sydney, the TVC centres on a young man making the best of unexpected and uncomfortable moments – including run-ins with a thug, street performers, gangsters and even a body bag.

Remaining consistent with Eclipse’s brand story of seeing where ‘hello’ takes you, the TVC reinforces the notion that every new connection offers a potential opportunity.

Filmed specifically for Hong Kong and Taiwan, the TVC features a young man travelling through the back streets of a dangerous city and the predicaments he finds himself in. ‘Hello’ becomes his catch cry, and with a packet of Eclipse in his pocket, he enjoys the company of his new friends.

Andy Fackrell, Regional Creative Director, DDB Group Asia Pacific, said, “Hello is such a universal greeting and we enjoyed playing with the idea of different story lines.

“With Bangkok as a backdrop, we knew we could be a little wacky and adventurous with the main characters’ predicament going from the fairly obvious to frankly the ridiculous”.

Nicole McMillan, Vice President, Wrigley Asia Pacific, said, “Eclipse is all about giving people confidence and something as simple as ‘hello’ can open up all sorts of possibilities. Our ‘hello’ brand proposition has always been about telling stories celebrating the coming together of new friends.

“This new ad is a refreshing shift from the original Eclipse hello ad launched in 2013 – pushing the boundaries and bringing to life just where a little bit of confidence can take you.”

The production company was The Sweet Shop and Music and Sound by Song Zu.
