Best Movie Integrated Ad Campaign, Best Of Show Integrated Ad Campaign

In 1959 Flemish-Italo artist Rocco Granata scored a monster hit with ‘Marina’. The song was so popular that many parents called their baby daughter Marina. However, in the nineties, everybody started using the name Marina to define a trashy bimbo. The name was even included in the dictionary, described as ‘vulgar girl’. 50 years after Rocco’s breakthrough, a movie was created based on his life. Because the song was so crucial for Rocco’s career, the movie had to be named Marina. But there were some doubts whether the name would still have that negative connotation. So how do you promote a movie with a name of shame?By clearing that name. For the movie, but also for 6.000 Marina’s in Flanders.
