New Blood Entry — ffamous ffones
giffgaff / 2024
People who buy refurbs do so because they have to, not because they want to. Even though they’re better for the planet and your wallet, the reality is—they’re just not that cool.
That’s why giffgaff are launching ‘ffamous ffones’, the world’s first celebrity line of ‘reffurbs’, to turn a pragmatic purchase into an aspirational object. We’re making giffgaff synonyms with refurbished—and hey—you might even get the celebrity’s actual used ‘ffone’.
What did the judges have to say?
Ffamous Ffones - This entry cleverly harnessed Gen Z celebrity culture to take refurbished phones beyond just cost effective, making them cool. Both bang on brief and brilliantly stretchy, it's the sort of campaign that gives the brand longevity, creating an ongoing way of behaving to drive hype and reappraisal for refurbished phones with GiffGaff.
