Lowe helps Ghana find their missing ‘H’
Lowe Sydney recently made noise around a low-interest football match between the Socceroos and Ghana by creating a fake Ghanaian fan club, which goes on a desperate mission to recruit people to be their missing ‘H’. Executive Creative Director Dave Johnson says “Highlighting the plight of an opposing team to help promote an Australian international is in itself a fairly radical approach, when you consider the patriotic formula of most match promotions. And then, to fabricate a tiny Ghanaian fan base, too few in numbers to spell ‘GHANA’ on their chests, and send them onto the streets to find their ‘H’ is a very lateral idea. But the theory, with such limited funds, was to create a genuinely captivating story, that the media would pick up on, and catapult way beyond our spend. All seemingly farfetched, if it were not for the fact that this is exactly what happened”
