“We plan to expand our exposure from branding to product placements in the Hong Kong and Mainland China market,” said Gary So, vice president of Soul Electronics.
“We used the commercial to capture the image of a regular, working class male, transforming into a dancing PSY after listening to the newest Soul headphones because the Power of Soul can create movement by providing enjoyable music listening thru active lifestyle,” he added.
Both the TV commercial and the outdoor activations at Times Square and Harbour City will run until the end of January next year.
Media buying duties is managed by The Garage Limited, a media agency started in 2010. Clients of the agency include some leading brands including Sun Hung Kai Property and L'Oréal.
