Why is water wet? Fonterra helps mums answer curious kids

Client: Fonterra

Agency: DDB, Mediacom

Market: Hong Kong 

Campaign scope: Online video, campaign site, social media

Details: The new campaign, titled 'Mama Tell B Why' (the 'B' echoes the pronunciation of the Cantonese word for baby) marks a continuation of Anmum’s October 2014 campaign titled ’Knowing a word is only the beginning of knowing the world'.

This time around, the campaign idea focuses more on highlighting the role of mums and helping them do their best to tackle the curious nature of their kids. Meanwhile it also continues to communicate the supposed ability of the milk powder’s key ingredient, gangliosides (GA), to not only connect brain cells but also "be connected to the world".

Campaign Asia Pacific's comments: When kids ask the darndest questions, many bewildered parents answer them in overly simplistic ways to brush them off. After all, most of them are busy making 'milk-powder money' rather than exploring evolution, follicle health or molecular compounds. While communication in the pediatric milk powder category is slowly moving away from functional messaging towards emotional storytelling, combining the two adds more value for parents.
