ANDY Awards 2015 Call for Entry videos seek your bravest work

Disposing bombs, operating on someone's brain or fight fires may be tough jobs to do. But it's nothing compared to being an Ad Man.

Wieden + Kennedy made 3 funny videos for the ANDY Awards 2015 Call for Entries. An Explosive Ordnance Disposal Specialist who would choose the bombs over an advertising job trying to make killer social media campaigns in a week. A surgeon and a firefighter who also point out the stress and the courage it takes to conceptualize and run a campaign.

Beside the three films there is a series of display and social media ads. You can also take an interactive quiz on the website andyawards.com

Mercedes E-Class Estate: The Transportable Banner

When Mercedes asked BBDO to make a bannering campaign that shows how spacious the new E-Class Estate is, they came up with a smart idea that transformed the classic banner into a medium that proves Mercedes’ promise.

BBDO introduced the Transportable Banner. A banner showing the E-Class Estate, which is suddenly being ripped out of its framework by two guys and transported to the E-Class Estate parked right behind it. Finally the two guys store it nicely in the trunk of the E-Class Estate.

Burger King: Fight to skip the line mobile game

The problem: Burger King went back in France after 15 years and due to the very few restaurants opened so far, people complain on the social media as they line for hours before ordering.


The solution: Buzzman invented the first mobile game ever created to cut the line.

Users can download the application (http://www.burgerking.fr/application/), defend their menu against swarm of hands and win the Fast Pass. The Fast Pass is valid for 15 minutes, and will allow the user to skip the line just by showing his screen to a cashier.

FAR CRY 4: What are you made of?

For the European launch of Far Cry 4, Grey Paris creates a unique interactive campaign with 42 million possible routes, offering a completely different experience from one user to another.

Grey Paris has created 1 digital platform with 4 interactive rites of passage and 42 millions possibilities:
- A deadly face-to-face with « An eye for an eye »
- An impenetrable mind maze with « Rabbit hole »
- A hypnotic trance with « Mind Blossom »
- A blindfolded sound chase with « Escape »

Each rite is composed of interactive films in which the user has only a few seconds to make a decision and get out of the extreme situation he is trapped in. Each choice he makes triggers another sequence of events, pushing the user to make another choice and so on and so forth...

At the end of each rite, the user’s choices are analysed with a specific algorithm that determines his personality based on 5 criteria: toughness, violence, bravery, endurance and wisdom.

High-end cinematographic quality within the digital world. The numbers are staggering.
It took one year to conceive, develop and produce this campaign. In order to create a highly immersive experience, Grey Paris worked with the production company Stink & Stink digital and film director Nieto who brings all his cinematographic experience in this project. They shot over 168 different video sequences that, combined with the 42 million routes possible, reach the gold number of 100 days required to watch the videos from each of these routes.

1 new rite of passage will be revealed every week, starting today, October  22nd and ending November 12th, two weeks before the launch of FC4 on November 18th
