The creative idea completely delivers on the product benefit of Mio offering different experiences depending on the amount one uses. It is memorable, for sure. And it definitely breaks through. The director and agency did a great job. I love the casting, particularly at the end. Overall, the performances are very good. My only other note is that this “back and forth, wardrobe and character change” is starting to get a little trendy. It still feels relatively fresh, but soon it won’t be. Let’s see which brand does it next and grill them!
