Chicken Licken South Africa
Inner Peace Country Campaign 2018
With the core theme of the 'Rock My Soul 3 Straight' product of Chicken Licken being Inner Peace, we decided to subvert the idea of inner peace for a change. With previous campaigns focusing on a journey toward inner peace. So in creative, we posed two question; Where could one never have inner peace? And what would it look like if that place in fact did have inner peace?
The answer? A small town in the wild wild west, an oasis of inner peace, where you would expect tension but something in the town is different. The audience experiences a place that has many parallel themes to South African popular culture, with one major difference. This town has inner peace thanks to the Chicken Licken.
And so a bootless bandit arrives in a small town of Harmony, we see distinctly South African quirks layout. These are juxtaposed with tension within a Spaghetti Western, and peaceful conclusions to various scenario.
We welcome and invite the audience to explore Inner Peace Country alongside our loveable yet grimacing bandit, Durango.
Five spots were released "Peace by Peace",
causing much excitement and expectation as each spot was released.
No explanation was given for the bootless bandit, making Chicken Licken audiences laugh at the scenarios but incredibly excited to find out who and why this mysterious man is roaming this strange town.
