The Camaritas campaign was developed at Young & Rubicam Buenos Aires.

Y&R Argentina creative director Martin Mercado explains the thinking behind the campaign. “People tend to associate security cameras with negative events, but we wanted to disprove that assumption by demonstrating the abundance of happy events and actions they capture.”

“We want to remind people that acts of kindness and bravery are taking place around them all the time,” said Guido Rosales, advertisement director for integrated marketing comms of Coca-Cola Latin America.

Filming was shot by director Maxi Blanco via Landia, Buenos Aires.

Music, “Give a Little Bit” was written, composed and performed by Roger Hodgson.

Spanish Script

Las cámaras de seguridad del mundo también captan…
Ladrones de besos.
Adictos a la música.
Soldados inofensivos.
Carteristas Honestos.
Y traficantes de papas fritas.
Ataques de amistad.
… de Amor…
… y de bondad.
Pandillas generosas.
Bomberos Voluntarios.
Rebeldes con causa.
Y terroristas de la Paz.
Muchos locos sueltos…
… y algunos héroes locos
