Binge Watching Is Making You a Total Jerk, and Fox Approves
Dark Ad Highlights the 'Unmissable' Content on the Channel
Editor's Pick
This darkly comedic ad tells the story of certifiable jerks -- who don't bother taking their dogs out for a walk, miss their children's important school events, leave food delivery people hanging outside their door in the rain and of course, don't offer up their public transport seats to pregnant women -- all because they're too engrossed in binge-watching.
But Fox Premium Latin America, the marketer behind the spot, holds them up as anti-heroes, as they help to illustrate "all that you shouldn't miss" on the premium channel, including shows previously unavailable in the region such as "The Young Pope," starring Jude Law. The spot was created out of Ponce Beunos Aires and directed by Landia's Rodrigo Saveedra.
The dark approach was intentional, meant to cater to viewers looking for high-quality shows. Fox Head of Creative Services Andre Takeda said in a statement, "This is a big launch for us in Latin America. We have some unique content, and we know the level of content that our audience is used to. Audiences are becoming more and more sophisticated when it comes to narrative plots, so we wanted to communicate to them on this same level, all whilst catering totheir love of dark humour and showing that we get their endless desire for quality content."
"We've all been there, in that state of sheer addiction to a series that makes everything else in the world seem secondary, binge-watching is a real phenomenon," added Ponce ECD Juampi Carrizo. "An amazing, incredible and somewhat scary experience, we wanted to showcase that in all its glory."
