Thinkboxes July/August Winner: Lucozade's ‘Find Your Flow’, by Grey London
Thinkboxes July/August 2015 winner
‘Find your flow’, Grey London’s first TV execution in its £14m campaign to reposition Lucozade Energy, wins the Thinkboxes award for TV ad creativity.
The ad features a series of people whose actions embody ‘flow’ – defined by Lucozade Energy for the purposes of the campaign as meaning: the “unmistakable feeling of being unstoppable”. The idea is graphically brought to life by scenes such as a window cleaner giving his work a foamy flourish, and a librarian able to throw books over her shoulder into the correct place on the shelf without looking.
The campaign’s aim is to reshape people’s brand perceptions by encouraging people to drink the beverage in situations other than when experiencing illness and hangovers and “position the drink as an ally to busy lives”, explains Lucozade Energy Head of Marketing Nina Meusburger.
We are celebrating the women and men who have found their rhythm and are making the most out of every day.

A view from a Thinkbox Academy member on this month’s picks…
Today, more than ever, it’s not just what you say that is important: how you say it is what reveals everything about you. Whether it’s with a smile or a tear, the emotional connection through execution is where advertising’s alchemy happens.
