Advil Gripa Max – Meet Ropancio

To launch Advil’s new product, Gripa Max , the goal was clear: show that it’s made for strong colds and flus . But instead of following the usual formula for pharmaceutical ads, we had the chance to do something truly fun and unexpected.

We created Ropancio — a character buried in layers and layers of clothing, perfectly capturing that universal feeling of wanting to stay bundled up, hidden, and cozy when you’re sick. A literal walking pile of comfort.

What made this project especially exciting was that the client fully embraced the idea of personifying what it feels like to be sick . It gave us room to play, to connect with real insights in a playful way, and to bring something fresh to a category that rarely strays from the conventional.

And of course, once Advil Gripa Max kicks in, we delivered a satisfying visual gag — all those layers explode away , freeing the character underneath. A dynamic, expressive way to let the audience feel the relief that Advil Gripa Max brings, both physically and emotionally.
