Philosophy (original language)
Take a compelling, positive insight that hits at the hear of a timeless teenage fear:being uncool. Then package this with cool, sexy, edgy people, and unexpected retro soundtrack (recent hits Ala Coldplay/smashing pumpkins often overshadow the ad!) A solid dose of gross-out and humour and lastly hope it works!
