INTERVENTION & THE HOOK UP

Hooked On Phonics was famous in the 80s for their direct response TV commercials. But since then, they’ve become a meme and a joke. And their tagline:“Hooked On Phonics Worked For Me” is frequently used on pictures of people passed out from binge drinking or being high on drugs. So rather than shy away from this, we played along and endeared a whole new generation of parents to Hooked On Phonics.

“Intervention” was one of Hooked on Phonics’ best performing ads, lowering CPA (cost per acquisition) and allowing for additional scale on Meta. It gained more than 12.9 million impressions, 32,000 likes and thousands of comments of both legacy customers who used the program with great success, serving as testimony, and attracting brand new customers who were entertained and educated on our product via the ad.
