BBC iPlayer – Wasted on Some
Award: Wood Pencil
Wood Pencil / Film Advertising / Writing for Film Advertising / 2020
As viewing habits change, the success of iPlayer has become key to the BBC’s future. Yet it was struggling to connect with younger audiences, who assumed that neither the content nor brand was for them. The creative brief set out to challenge this perception and prove that the platform was indeed relevant to under 35s. Wasted on Some is an irreverent brand campaign that pokes fun at this assumption, by creating caricatures of what young people believe the typical BBC viewer to be, before playfully suggesting that many iPlayer shows are in fact wasted on this audience.
