Take back the space that belongs to you
The brand image of Vantaa is bold and jagged; these were the qualities which were to be emphasized in the campaign. The campaign therefore adopted an anarchistic attitude with inspiration drawn from space occupation culture. Finally, the main message of the campaign was selected:
Take back the space that belongs to you.
The target audience, consisting of Vantaa residents, aged 10 to 17, was targeted on channels favoured by young people, such as Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat. We also wanted to reach the parents of these young people – as the Nuta card for youth services – must be applied together with a guardian. The main message encouraged parents to give young people their own safe space in which they could interact with a youth service worker. The parents were also targeted on Facebook.
In addition to the digital channels, local street advertising was used in the districts of Vantaa where the youth centres were found.
One of the most prominent elements of the campaign was the collaboration with MolyBros. This Vantaa-based social media influencer duo were given relatively free hand to produce content on their own channels. MolyBros, aka Manza and Keinaan, are brilliant performers. One of their trademarks is arranging street polls where they interview other young people about everyday matters and the influencer duo were perfectly suited to activate and familiarize their followers with Vantaa's youth services.
