Tango launches ‘Warden’, a new integrated campaign created by agency of record, VCCP London and its content creation studio Girl&Bear. ‘Warden’ is the second film within the ‘dangerously potent flavour’ brand platform, aimed at a Gen Z audience, which continues driving differentiation for Tango Orange by reasserting its powerful taste compared to generic orange fizzy drinks. The campaign is brought to life by an integrated agency team comprised of VCCP, Girl&Bear Studios who led production, VCCP’s in-house social team who created content for TikTok, and mSix&Partners who drove media planning and buying, and PR, in-store and sampling managed by Cirkle, Initials and ID respectively. The spot aims to land the creative idea that Tango’s dangerously potent flavour leads to outrageously bold behaviour (getting Tango’d), as the iconic brand continues on its mission to increase its market share and introduce a younger generation to the powerful taste of Tango. The campaign breaks category norms of the soft drinks market as Tango taps into its heritage distinct position of being bold, pushing boundaries and behaving mischievously, all while retaining its classic British humour roots. In addition to conceiving the idea for the campaign, VCCP’s in-house social specialists, the Creator Team, led on all content creation for TikTok. The social-first films consist of a series of ‘behind the scenes’ style TikTok videos, all recorded on set, including a native ‘POV’ film of the warden dancing from the point of view of the other prisoners.
