Did You Mean Mailchimp?

Analysis

Mailchimp made strange films around names that sounded like its own. MailShrimp places a diner between walls of refrigerated products.

WordplaySurreal setting

Why it worked

The balanced walls make an ordinary meal feel theatrical. The unusual scene gives viewers a reason to remember the deliberately wrong name.

Lesson

Make a naming weakness the source of a distinctive campaign.
