Showing Aussies how to get data rich with unlimited data banking and gifting on their mobile plans.
Telco Belong has launched a emoji-bling-infused, baroque-meets-hip-hop campaign, featuring UK rapper Taz, via DDB Melbourne.
The ‘Data Rich Opera’, directed by LA-based Jonny Look through Hooves, features emoji bling belting out their love for banking obscene amounts of unused data.
The music features a mashup of opera and rap, genres synonymous with excess, and features UK rapper Taz, the first UK artist signed by Def Jam Recordings.
Belong head of marketing and retail Joshua Bailey said Belong has always believed everyone should feel free to enjoy the internet.
"With unlimited data banking and data gifting, our customers get the confidence to scroll, stream, and share—without ever hitting pause," Bailey said.
"It's just another way we're helping Aussies feel more connected and in control.”
DDB Group Melbourne executive creative director Giles Watson said people love flaunting their data stash, and unlimited banking helps make it the ultimate brag.
"Working closely with Belong’s in-house team, we turned these great features into a campaign that makes becoming ‘Data Rich’ the ultimate flex for netizens across the country," Watson said.
Beyond traditional media channels, the operatic musings of the golden chains deliver highly targeted digital, social, radio and digital out-of-home placements across the country that will bring the ‘Data Rich’ campaign to life in DDB Melbourne’s campaign for Belong.
