DRACULA - BBC ONE
While at BBC creative, one of the programs I worked on was the new Drama series of Dracula. The producers of the show wanted the advertising to focus on the handsome main actor playing Dracula, to make him a heart throb. They specified he must look gorgeous and be featured in all the work. But Dracula is loathsome, he’s old, rich, vain, manipulative, lacks empathy and wants to kill us all. Basically, he’s psychopath. How do we make everyone fall in love with someone like that?
Well as we know, everyone’s worst points are also their best.
I came up with the campaign idea: You’ll love to hate him.
