Heineken‏: The Better Halves

You have half of the ticket for the Champions League Final. Would you ask your better half to perform the Champions League anthem live to get you the other half? That’s what Heineken and the digital advertising agency NEXT-DC asked Bulgarian fans and the answer was positive.

62 wives and girlfriends took the stage all because of their men and their passion for the game. Custom hardware and voice recognition software detected the three performances that were closest to the timing of the original anthem. They were awarded with the second half of the ticket and a seat at the Final.

Nestea revives Nestea Plunge campaign

In the revival of the classic “Plunge” campaign that ran from the Seventies through the Nineties, a stranded musician is found wandering in the desert. After grabbing a cold Nestle, he plunges backward into water and is quickly transported to a concert where he has become a crowd-surfing star.

The new advertising campaign, created and produced by Publicis Hawkeye, is brought to life through print, television and online advertisements. The campaign pays homage to Nestea’s classic ad spot while reinterpreting it in an energetic and contemporary way, appealing to new users and long-time Nestea fans alike.

To further support the product relaunch, the brand will offer a “Nestea Plunge Into Summer” sweepstakes beginning on June 2nd with chances to win a variety of prizes throughout the summer.

Water is Life: The drinkable book

The drinkable book is a revolutionary and life saving idea. It filters water and teaches proper sanitation & hygiene to those in the developing world. Each book is printed in two languages on technologically advanced filter paper, capable of killing deadly waterborne diseases. Each page is coated with silver nanoparticles, whose ions actively kill diseases like cholera, typhoid and E. coli.

Once water is passed through the filter, bacteria count is reduced by over 99.99%, making the filtered water comparable to tap water in the United States of America.

The paper costs only pennies to produce, making it by far the cheapest option on the market. Each filter is capable of giving someone up to 30 days worth of clean water. And each book is capable of providing someone with clean water for up to 4 years.

Paw Justice: Animal Strike

An animal strike that changed a law. Paw Justice with the help of DDB New Zealand collaborated with Google and YouTube and blocked videos with animal content in order to make people sign a petition to force the goverment to change a law that allowed legal-highs to be tested on animals.

The insight was simple. People love to see entertaining videos of animals online. So a nationwide block of these videos would definitely spread the word.

Street posters, print ads, TVCs and billboards, where also used in the campaign, along with a website with the petition and a strike toolkit with all the files needed for the public in order to upload then to their social media profiles, YouTube channels and websites to block their own animal content.

This incredible collaboration made the Prime Minister John Key announce that there will be no further testing of legal-highs on animals in his country.

It connects students who want to speak English with Americans living in retirement homes via an exclusive digital tool that uses video chat technology to bring the students face to face with Americans.

Amazing cutout dioramas by Hari & Deepti

Layers of paper are illuminated from the back creating a sensational depth and atmosphere. Originally from India and now based in Denver, Hari and Deepti, believe that “Paper is brutal in its simplicity as a medium. It demands the attention of the artist while it provides the softness they need to mold it in to something beautiful. It is playful, light, colorless and colorful. It is minimal and intricate. It reflects light, creates depth and illusions in a way that it takes the artist through a journey with limitless possibilities.”

The Hunter and the Bear in Pharrell Williams' book

The hunter and the bear, heroes of one of the most acclaimed digital campaigns of the last decade are back with another friend, the amazing Pharrell Williams. Get ready for an exhilarating adventure...

This year, Tipp-Ex®, N°1 correction brand in Europe,Bic® and Pharrell Williams go together to make history by creating the first participatory book instantly translated into 5 languages. A real technological feat imagined by Buzzman agency for a world first!

The idea: Tipp-Ex® and Buzzman asked Pharrell to write a book about the source of his inspiration. A few hours before the book launch, struck by panic due to fierce readers seeking to steal the book, the bear decided to cover the whole book with Tipp-Ex® to protect its contents.

With this blunder starts a new Tipp-Ex® adventure ... To participate, you will have to enter the cabin of the hunter and the bear and help find the thousands of words, which have been covered in the book.

Obviously, the hunter, the bear and even Pharrell will be there at every moment with hints to help you complete the book. The more words you find, the closer your name will be in the credits alongside Pharrell Williams.

Once completed by users, the “Social Book” will be printed and published.

Profits will be donated to an organization supporting disadvantaged children as they attempt to, hopefully, rewrite their lives.

Thai Life Insurance: Unsung Hero

This heartwarming spot from Thailand will encourage you to do small acts of kindness. The unsung hero is young man who don't have much but he is generous enough to help a little girl begging for education, to feed a stray dog, to leave bananas to the old neighbor, to give his seat on the bus, without expecting something in return. He will not get rich or be famous or featured on TV. He just keeps doing good and as time goes by we see that all his good deeds starts to pay off.

Canal+: ‘Wilhelm Scream’ Mockumentary

"The Woman Who Can’t Watch Movies" is the widow of Sheb Wooley and she can't watch movies because he keeps hearing her husband's screem. “The Wilhelm scream,” is a legendary stock audio scream, recorded by Sheb Wooley and used  in the 1951 film Distant Drums. It was named after the character Private Wilhelm in the 1953 western The Charge of the Feather River. It has been used in over 200 films since then (including Star Wars, Toy Story, Indana Jones, Lord of the Rings and more).

Canal+ made a Scream Bank, a catalog of donated screams for industry professionals to use in place of Sheb’s and invites users to record their own screams and help Linda Dotson Wooley see films again. The video is a teaser for Leave Wilhelm Alone, an upcoming documentary on the “Wilhelm scream.”

Carlsberg: HappyBeerTime

Blending social with on premise sales is not an easy task but Carlsberg's Happy Hour 2.0 campaign seems to make everybody happy. Bars have a HappyBeerTime USB stick that when plugged in Happy Hour appears on screen for a limited amount of time. Then people take a photo, upload it to Instagram tagged with #HappyBeerTime and the bar's name and they get extra Happy Hour time. So, bars sell beers and get on Instagram, customers gets discounts, Carlsberg gets content. Everybody's happy.

Wren: First Kiss

20 strangers kissing for the first time in front of a camera. This short film from L.A. fashion brand Wren, got over 22.000.000 views on YouTube in just 2 days. The 20 strangers where hesitant at first, they felt awkward but when they started to kiss it all changed. Director Tatia Pilieva managed to make a touching film that went viral because the majority of the people just saw the transformative power of a kiss. They believed in the "strangers kissing story".

The reality is that these strangers are not common people but professional performers. Slate says:
"The cast includes models Natalia Bonifacci, Ingrid Schram, and Langley Fox (daughter of actress Mariel Hemingway and sister of model Dree); musicians Z Berg of The Like, Damian Kulash of OK Go, Justin Kennedy of Army Navy, singer Nicole Simone, and singer-actress Soko (who also performed the melancholy indie music that accompanies the short); and actors Karim Saleh, Matthew Carey, Jill Larson, Corby Griesenbeck, Elisabetta Tedla, Luke Cook, and Marianna Palka." 

Knowing this ruins the feelings you get out of the film but I guess only people in advertising will know.

Coke Zero: What do pétanque, knitting and fishing have in common?

Zero. A magic number which when added it can mean nothing or change everything. In Duval Guillaume's latest stunt for the Coca-Cola Zero "Just Add Zero" campaign they did just that. They added zero and changed everything.

They asked ordinary people playing pétanque, knitting and fishing to film them. As you can imagine all of these hobbies have non-to-a-few spectators only. Then they added zero. 6 spectators became 60 then 600. Fishermen, knitting ladies and petanque players felt like superstars when, out of nowhere, supporters started to appear, cheering, creating a crazy atmosphere. (Thanks Sophie)
