Localised CloseUp ads tick all the boxes for new market.
The brief
Unilever had an existing campaign for Closeup that they wanted to run in Africa. They came to Genero to localise the campaign so it would resonate culturally in African markets.
The work
The Closeup team commissioned a Genero filmmaker to reshoot existing scenes with African talent. They were also able to use those scenes as individual bumpers for a whole range of social media content.
