Interviews
Grand Interview
Your innovative approach in the Use What Moves You Outdoor Campaign to transform everyday subway commuters into brand ambassadors is fascinating - could you elaborate on how this concept evolved from initial brainstorming to final execution?
The concept began with a simple question: How can we elevate everyday commuters into storytellers for the Metro brand? During brainstorming, we identified that commuters interact with the Metro not just as passengers but as part of their lifestyle. By observing behaviors, we realized Metro-branded items had untapped potential to be symbols of identity and urban pride. We worked collaboratively with the photographer and the creative team to ensure the campaign authentically reflected this insight. Execution involved selecting real commuters, not models, to feature in real-life scenarios. This approach lent credibility and relatability to the campaign.
The Use What Moves You Outdoor Campaign uniquely positions Metro products as lifestyle choices rather than mere souvenirs - what inspired you to bridge this gap between public transportation and personal fashion?
The inspiration stemmed from the realization that public transportation is integral to daily life and culture in Santiago. Instead of viewing Metro products as functional items, we reframed them as extensions of personal expression. Just like tote bags or t-shirts can symbolize lifestyle choices, we envisioned Metro products doing the same. The idea was to connect with the commuter's emotional journey—transforming a simple travel accessory into a badge of pride and identity.
In developing the Use What Moves You Outdoor Campaign, how did you balance the commercial objectives of promoting Metro merchandise with the authentic representation of Santiago's diverse commuter culture?
Authenticity was non-negotiable. While we aimed to drive sales, we understood that the campaign’s success depended on accurately reflecting Santiago's cultural diversity. We prioritized inclusive storytelling by showcasing individuals from various age groups, professions, and neighborhoods. We ensured that the visuals highlighted real-life moments of connection between people and Metro products, which naturally aligned with the commercial goal of creating desirability.
