David Shane of O Positive directed three spots as part of this “None Of This Makes Sense” integrated campaign for low calorie health beverage Bai out of agency Barton F. Graf.
The ad shop’s strategy taps into the irony that Bai is loaded with antioxidants and has only five calories–yet somehow still tastes great. The campaign drives home the point that none of this makes sense, brought to you by people in situations that also make no sense. This is particularly evident in the commercial titled “El Guapo” featuring a man who’s a Latin pop superstar despite being totally unqualified for that role.
