The global brand platform Yours to Make is about how you can explore who you are with Instagram. For young people, identity isn’t defined, it’s something that’s constantly explored. In Japan, we connected this with the idea of tapping into your true honne 本音 feelings rather than your public tatemae 建前 facade. The film features culture makers expressing their honne spirit, from NBA star Rui Hachimura to avant garde artist (and veggie dancer) Aoi Yamada. The campaign serves as a celebration of the good that can come from connecting with communities and interests on Instagram.

‘Instabae’ was a big buzzword in Korea. This popular trend was also connected to a fear that stopped many people from exploring their true interests or expressing themselves. Aligning with the global brand platform Yours to Make, we showed Koreans that it’s ok to like whatever it is that interests you. The campaign uses clever wordplay; Just-because-I-like-it-gram sounds just like Instagram in Korean.

We partnered with culture makers made famous for a specific talent to fearlessly share something different – an unexpected or unshared interest or passion. These stories were shared across the country, showing Koreans previously intimidated by the world of instabae content, that Instagram was exactly the place where they could explore their interests and shape their identity. Made in partnership with our good friends at Cheil, Korea.

The global brand platform Yours to Make showcases how you can explore who you are with Instagram. ‘Instagram perfect’ is a real thing in India, and a fear that stops many from expressing themselves on the platform. To launch Reels in India, we challenged this notion of perfection. The series is about overcoming self doubts and exploring identities on Reels. We partnered with small, upcoming culture makers to share their stories across the country, inspiring young creators, intimidated by perfection, to embrace being in the making, one reel at a time. Made in partnership with our good friends at DDB Mudra.

Many people in the Philippines find Meta-owned apps valuable, accessible, and innovative. But they don’t connect those values back to the Meta brand or its products. In fact, many people don’t know Meta owns the family of apps. So we used Facebook, Instagram and Messenger as a starting point to begin Meta’s narrative across the Philippines.

The campaign shines a light on the innovative ways that Filipinos have used the Meta-owned family of apps, and celebrates Filipino Creators who are inspiring a new movement of creative content online.

Roar Together shines a light on the power of connections, following the Facebook brand belief that people can do ‘More Together’ than alone. In India, culture went virtual over Covid. The film is based on a true story that centres around the popular folk art of Pulikkali, in which performers – painted like tigers – dance in the streets of Kerala to entertain people as part of Onam celebrations. Amid Covid-19 restrictions, they hosted a live performance on Facebook.

To create an even stronger bond with the community, an AR filter took Pulikkali to the people. Users could don the mask of a roaring tiger themselves and virtually place themselves in Swaraj Round, Thrissur where Pulikkali happens every year, and also join in the Facebook Live celebration. With many millions taking part safely & virtually, Roar Together was considered the most successful engagement campaign in Facebook International Marketing history.
