OBSTACLE: TracFone's StraightTalk brand needed to resonate with thrifty millennials culturally, embedding frugality within a broader narrative beyond budgeting. Seeking to bridge the gap between awareness and consideration among budget-conscious millennials, they sought a partner to engage their audience during moments of passion and content consumption.
SOLUTION: Seamlessly weave frugality into the broader cultural narrative beyond mere budgeting through DIY fashion content.
