Strategic approach:
Strategic approach: Shopping is a national sport in Romania, with "price-conscious" consumers actively searching for the best prices and promo offers. However, in a sea of sameness, where every retailer brings out its big guns of offers and discounts, it is difficult not to be skeptical about brand narratives claiming, "the best deal".

THEN THERE ARE ROMANIA'S FINANCIAL EDUCATION STRUGGLES

Romania ranks last in Europe in terms of financial education* (Eurobarometru, 2023), a problem that significantly impacts people's lives. Romanians have a dysfunctional relationship with money, filled with a lot of anxiety, always in a state of conflict, which makes it difficult for them to restrain their desire to take advantage of a great price deal and the desire to leave the checkout counter with more money in their pockets.

OUR CHALLENGE: In these serious economic times, how could Kaufland, one of the largest retailers in Romania, help consumers make the best deals for their wallets?

APPROACH: Despite the cost-of-living crisis dominated by shoppers' skepticism about low prices, Kaufland embraced humor and creativity to launch a witty and courageous online video series called "Masters of Shopping Deals" In an innovative format, this five-part series breaks down communication norms of promotional offers, focusing instead on user engagement and interaction.
