Death and dismemberment don’t rank high on the list of confectionery ad strategies but in the hands of Wieden+Kennedy São Paulo and the animation crew at LOBO, the macabre melts into the ridiculous and that is a welcome thing.

LOBO directors, Mateus de Paula Santos and Nando Cohen in São Paulo, Brazil: ” The main goal of the campaign is to speak to the youth market (from teens to college-age consumers), combining an irresistible appetite appeal with high entertainment value.

“The agency’s solution was to create a series of short spots full of moments of pure mayhem and dark humor in a world made entirely of plain chocolate.

“It was particularly challenging to depict such tragic situations as comedy, with characters being killed in gruesome ways and yet still making people laugh.

“The animations were created entirely in 3D CG, with the greatest care taken to reproduce the natural textures of chocolate and other ingredients.”
