História	Waterboy, a little character made of water, goes through various situations symbolising the element of water. On his adventures, he meets a gorgeous girlfriend who is also made of water. Together, they start a family. We Will Rock You (B May), Copyright 1977 Queen Music Ltd, courtesy of EMI Music Publishing, KCPK remix 2003 SUMMARY In order to sustain Evian’s premium price in a commoditized market, Evian’s “We will rock you” campaign adopted a whole new advertising approach: no longer consider Evian to be just a water brand, following the rules of the category, but change the brand’s status and transform it into a badge of youthfulness. To achieve this goal, the campaign went beyond advertising, conceiving a global “advertainment” in which adults singing a mythical song with children’s voices were the basis for a global entertainment program. Despite a modest advertising budget the campaign succeeded in reaching all of the goals set and achieving considerable market share gain.
História (língua original)	Reflet de l’esprit de jeunesse d’une eau minérale exceptionnelle, le clip met en scène un personnage d’animation en 2 dimensions fait d’eau et capable de traverser toutes les épreuves de son quotidien grâce à une capacité d’adaptation hors du commun. Un personnage qui devrait rapidement devenir une nouvelle icône pour Evian !
Filosofia	CREATIVE STRATEGY The strategy was to transform Evian into a "Badge of Youthfulness". Youth is one of the strongest consumer aspirations, an aspiration that drives added value in most markets. An international TV commercial was launched, “Voices” : the revival of “We will rock you” by Queen, sung by adults with children’s voices expressing the inner youth inside us all and connecting Evian with a young spirit and powerful energy. This served to show that drinking Evian every day helps people feel young in body and mind. MEDIA - Broadcast - Cinema TOTAL MARKETING EXPENDITURE Under € 5 million. MEDIA STRATEGY The media strategy that had proved successful in France was implemented on an international scale. The method aimed to maximize the effects of an average media investment using a creative strategy conceived to maximize impact. In France, Belgium and the UK several media formats were deployed intensively for maximum impact and emotion, concentrating the larger share of media investments on powerful first bursts. Cinema broadcast immediately following the period of TV broadcasting was designed to generate immediate personal involvement. In order to prolong the impact of the campaign launch, an international release of the ad soundtrack on CD and as a video clip was staged, thus obtaining the equivalent of free additional media coverage on TV and radio.
Filosofia (língua original)	Ce clip donne à BETC l’occasion d’associer son expertise propre à une création en marge de la publicité classique : - en continuant d’illustrer concrètement la place qu'elle entend conférer à la musique dans sa réflexion publicitaire. Une place qu’elle pousse depuis longtemps au plus haut niveau d'exigence et d'expertise. - et pour démontrer haut et fort qu’il est possible d'aller au bout de ses parti-pris professionnels tout en ré-enchantant le monde de la publicité. Après la sortie française du 30 juin, suivront les sorties en Grande-Bretagne, Allemagne, Belgique, Luxembourg, …tous pays qui ont accueilli le film Evian puis le CD dans le plus grand enthousiasme.
Problema	CAMPAIGN OBJECTIVES Add value to the brand by claiming a specific and motivating benefit which justifies Evian’s premium price and thus helps stabilise Evian’s market share. TARGET AUDIENCE - In France, Belgium and Luxembourg where Evian is consumed by families on a daily basis the broad population was targeted. - In the UK, where Evian is positioned more Premium, the target was the urban population belonging to the “A +” socio-economic class and ranging from 16 to 44 years old. CAMPAIGN PERIOD January 2003 to September 2003.
Problema (língua original)	En janvier 2003 sortait sur les écrans de télévision le dernier film Evian «Les Voix de la jeunesse», film qui a réussi à rassembler les gens autour d’une promesse de jeunesse de corps et d’esprit, universelle, motivante et accessible. Suite à l’engouement immédiat provoqué par la campagne, le CD 2 titres de « We will rock you », remix par KCPK, sortait le 29 avril dernier, confirmant BETC dans un positionnement d'agence qui revendique la musique comme élément central et stratégique du discours publicitaire. Quatre semaines après son lancement en France, il recevait un Disque d’Or. Pour accompagner la sortie de ce CD, l’agence BETC Euro RSCG choisit aujourd’hui de mettre à profit son expertise musicale et visuelle dans la coproduction d’un clip original.
