Leo Burnett Thailand creates a space odyssey for Thai Health Promotion Foundation
Thai Health Promotion Foundation is encouraging Thais to reduce their sodium intake with a space-themed campaign created by The Leo Burnett Group Thailand, that warns the more you eat, the more sodium you store, and the more you risk your life.
The new film titled, ‘New World’, is part of the same campaign as ‘The Seasoning Spoon Man,’ released earlier this week, which follows on from the recent launch of ‘Oasis’, an awareness campaign for Thai Health Promotion Foundation that encourages Thais to consume less sugary drinks.
The average Thai consumes more than one teaspoon of sodium per day, which is higher than the WHO organization’s recommended daily intake.
With small convenience stores widely spread all over Thailand, the labor force is used to ready-to-eat behavior, with ‘high-in-sodium’ instant and frozen foods becoming their easiest, fastest way to take in their meals in a day, every day. Many people are exceeding their daily intake without knowing that sodium in these foods can store in their body and cause life-threatening diseases if consumed often for many years.
To solve this problem, the Thai Health Promotion Foundation has created a ‘dark mystery’ film that encourages audiences to be sodium-aware and rethink their diet: “Less salt, less disease.”
To communicate this message in a hilarious Public Service Announcement, Leo Burnett Bangkok collaborated with the Thai Health Promotion Foundation to launch a campaign featuring a group of genius space travellers who travel for many years to find the new world and survive amidst the incredible chaos. They won’t starve to death, yet when they finally reach a faraway destination, there is no one left behind.
