but, WHAT HOLDS YOUNG PEOPLE BACK?
In the fast-changing society, together with the desire to achieve everything and express their value, there rises the fear of being inferior to others......
peer pressure
The pressure when comparing themselves with others is the factor resulting in Gen Z's anxiety, making them lose their faith in themselves, and hence, their identities
Why my friend got an offer from Big 4 but I cannot?
Am I a failure? Did I try enough
All the friends at my age was graduated, but I don't
it's the continuous fight...
The act of peer pressure could come from:
INTERNALLY
EXTERNALLY
Am I a failure? Did I work hard enough?
Social expectations
Collectivism nature
Social media expansion
Undefined & undeveloped self-value
The need to be integrated & recognized
CAN ACTIVELY CONTROL
CANNOT ACTIVELY CONTROL
It is indisputable that peer pressure is UNAVOIDABLE AND CANNOT COMPLETELY GO AWAY with your own control, it would still exist and come back to you. The fight between us and peer pressure is CONTINUOUS and unstoppable, the important thing is what is YOUR REACTION toward peer pressure
so what ARE theIR reactions?
As a self-awareness generation, Gen Z acknowledged that they have been suffered from peer pressure and they are trying to overcome this situation. Every minute passing by, they are still trying to keep their mind cool and be determined on their personal goals while fighting against the peer pressure that could come at them at anytime
However, is it possible to keep your mind cool everytime?
customer insight
"I acknowledge that each person has different ways to succeed, and my job is to focus on my goals. However, peer pressure still always exists along the way to dampens my will and faith that whether I should continue or stop chasing my objectives. Hence, sometimes it is very tired for me to keep my mind always cool to fight against peer pressure"
campaign idea
It is impossible to keep your head cool on your road every time, there must be a break time for you to rethink, reflect and reaffirm their self-value clearly, then leaving you a clearer mind to come back stronger
big idea
CLEAR THE DISTRACTION
CLEAR YOUR DIRECTION
key message
Clear means the act of removing an obstacle or an unwanted thing, but it also means the state of being transparent and unclouded. After the previous campaign of "Cool head, warm heart", Clear Vietnam wants to continue the story by saying that while keeping your head cool towards your journey, you also need to take a break at some moments to reaffirm your value and recharge yourself to move forward.
