While price remains the focal point (but treated in a more discrete way than previous editions), the main concern when developing this campaign was to create a bond with teenagers by showing situations in which they’d feel reflected.
Starting by acknowledging that Eurosaver is a platform that is “always there for you” (it is a permanent range) at a friendly price, this led TBWA\Portugal and McDonald’s to search what this really meant to teenagers. In reality, Eurosaver allows teenagers, who tend to have short financial resources, to spend less money on good food so that they can use it in stuff they really love such as music, concerts, clothes, games, etc. This belief became the insight that has motivated the current campaign.
Thus, the idea behind this campaign is that “it’s all for one Euro and nothing else matters”. As so, TBWA\Lisboa has developed several situations were you can see teens having a dialog being the product the subject of discussion. The tone chosen is humorous with a special type of humor that makes sense to Portuguese teens trough a well-known group of humorists in Portugal.
