Controversial Snickers builder spot wins Bronze in Media Lions
The controversial Snickers Aussie Builders campaign from ClemengerBBDO Melbourne and Starcom has grabbed a bronze in the Media Lions category, one of five campaigns to get up from Australia.
The viral video, which shows a group of builders shouting reassuring and complimentary comments to women passing by from a construction site with the strapline “You’re not you when you’re hungry” caused confusion amongst some viewers as to whether it was an insult to builders.
