Eno - Crying? No - Cara de Azia / Heartburn face (2022) :30 (Brazil)

"Everyone knows this guy, but no one understands why" says the VO of the ad starring none other than Hide-the-pain Harold, whose real name is András Arató. And why does he have that face? Could it be sadness, shyness, or lack of charisma?  No, here he is “Cara de Azia” (“Heartburn Face”), which explains why he has looked like this for years. With a quick sorting out using Eno heartburn salts, his face finally relaxes and he smiles.

 

According to Carol Curi, ENO Manager, the brand chose humor to connect with consumers. “ENO Fruit Salt is a superb ally for people who need to better their heartburn. Bringing an iconic figure such as the Harold meme guy to this dialogue gives more force for our communication to expand the target,” she says.

 

“To have one of the biggest memes in the world as a character in our campaign is to combine work and fun, and still have the opportunity to build an even more proprietary tone to highlight ENO in this category. The Cara de Azia campaign is not only a relief for Harold, but also for consumers, since talking about heartburn doesn't have to be boring”, emphasize Laura Azevedo and Ricardo Schreier, Creative Directors from Publicis Haleon Brasil.

 

“Brazilians love memes, and we choose this character for the strength of engagement and the ability to create a connection with different audiences. It's a different, funny and very powerful project”, explains Carol.

Finally, this explains the meme. One of the few times I've seen a meme used well in an ad. Bravo.
