LOVE SQUAD

Couples meddle in online worlds, one assassination at a time.

When fiber-optic broadband became a commodity, WAOO needed to differentiate through superior customer service. Recognizing the growing tension between avid gamers and their neglected partners, Uncle Grey identified a unique cultural pain point. They transformed customer service into an unexpected, playful solution: a virtual hitman service. This allowed WAOO to engage its audience by humorously intervening in their digital lives, reminding them of real-world connections, and positioning WAOO as a brand that truly understands its customers' evolving needs and culture.

By manifesting WAOO as the ultimate customer service provider via entertainment, the campaign generated significant buzz and resonated deeply, honoring their platform 'Internet as it should be' and sparking widespread conversation.

“The campaign's idea is based on insights about the internet and a humorous way of acknowledging that lightning-fast internet from Waoo isn't the solution to everything. In fact, it’s important to spend quality time together away from the screen too."
