Published: August 2014

Short Rationale (optional): World Animal Protection launched a campaign where Dutch people can pledge never to ride an elephant again. Each time a name is added to the petition, a specially developed 3D printer prints a piece of a life-size elephant at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol: the world’s first-ever 3D print petition. A live stream of the printing progress is available at www.stapvandeolifantaf.nl

The project is a partnership between World Animal Protection, Dutch advertising agency FHV BBDO, 3D printer manufacturer Ultimaker, production company Minivegas and 3D designer Joris van Tubergen.

Everyone who pledges has their name printed on the elephant with a special font -called Elephont- which makes it look like elephant skin. Although only Dutch people can pledge, everyone who visits Schiphol Airport can check out the 3D printing installation and everyone can follow the progress of the printing 24/7 through the live stream.

More than 20,000 people already signed the petition. The 3D printing installation will be in a pop-up pavilion in front of the main entrance of Schiphol Airport until August 30 2014.

Published: August 2014

Short Rationale (optional): Uncle Ben’s believes that every child should be able to cook as well as they can read and write. However, 1 in 4 British parents never cook with their children. So millions of kids are growing up without the cooking skills to look after themselves in the future.

To help change this, Uncle Ben’s has launched Ben’s Beginners. It’s an initiative aimed at getting kids and families back in the kitchen cooking together.

At the centre of the campaign is a YouTube channel delivering fun and engaging cooking content. The channel will feature a series of weekly shows hosted by DJ BBQ where he shows seven YouTube stars how to cook simple, delicious meals. This is supported by a set of videos where Lisa Faulkner teaches kids the basic skills they’ll need to follow the recipes.

The campaign begins with a provocative online film to raise awareness of the issue of disappearing family cooking skills. Seeding begins on 26 August, supported by PR. The film directs families to a taster of what’s to come on the Ben’s Beginners YouTube channel.

Published: August 2014

Short Rationale (optional): TalkTalk continues its sponsorship of The X Factor for the sixth consecutive year, with an ambitious twist on its familiar TV idents, giving fans the chance to star on TV in their own professionally-crafted music videos.

Created by CHI&Partners, the idents will feature content pulled in from an advanced app, ‘Mix-Off’, which pushes the boundaries of smartphone technology, enabling TV viewers to create their own music videos at home, with a real made-in-studio feel. The best mixes will then be broadcast to the nation during the show’s ad breaks.

The ‘Mix-Off’ app is fully responsive across iOS, Android and on the web, allowing users to create music videos starring up to four users, against nine different tracks and eight music video styles, all professionally directed by Sammy Rawal. The music videos will be released onto the app in staggered phases throughout The X Factor season.

A second-phase release of the app in September will give fans something new to play with as auditions end and the stage is set for the programme’s live shows. This second release will allow users to pull in performances from their Facebook friends as well as any performance already submitted to the app

Airing from August through to December, the idents will result in more than 160 user-generated spots.

Brothers and Sisters: Betfred 'You’ll love a bit of Betfred'

Brand: Betfred

Title(s): You’ll love a bit of Betfred

Agency: Brothers and Sisters

Agency Website: http://www.brothersandsisters.co.uk/

Creative Director: Brothers and Sisters

Art Director: Brothers and Sisters

Copywriter: Brothers and Sisters

Additional Credits: Media Agency: Mediacom Manchester

Production Company: Biscuit Filmworks

Director: Bruce St Clair

Editor: Ross Hallard @ Trim

Post-Production: Framestore

Audio Post-Production: Dom Dew at Jungle Studios

The spot builds on the existing brand idea of “You’ll Love a Bit of Betfred” and positions the brand at the heart of the entertaining, social and fun spirit of betting. The ad features two cool characters, lifelong best mates who turn an ordinary walk down the street into a slice of fun and entertainment by playing keepy uppy.

Construct: YOO Home 'Brand Identity'

Brand: YOO Home

Title(s): Brand Identity

Agency: Construct, London, UK

Agency website: http://constructlondon.com

Creative Director: Construct

Published: August 2014

Short rationale (optional): YOO Home (homebyyoo.com) is a new retail interiors collection from YOO, represented by an identity by brand consultancy Construct, YOO Home marks the latest development for the YOO brand and comprises four eclectic collections curated by the YOO Studio.

The brand identity by Construct is conceived as a unifying visual umbrella for the aesthetically varied furniture and accessories. Original furniture designed by YOO Home sits alongside a curated selection from iconic design houses including Boffi, Cappellini, Cassina, Droog, Flos, Fritz Hansen, Moooi, Nani Marquina, Poltrona Frau, Zanotta, and show-stopping pieces from Sean Dare, Bethan Gray and Jon Male. YOO Home offers the entire collection across four key themes: Classic, Nature, Minimal and Culture

The YOO Home identity is anchored to the existing YOO logotype, with its lower-case twist on the classic typeface Futura. The addition of the word ‘home’ has been achieved with typographic precision so as to retain the balance and elegance of the original. A protected and defined area of clear space ensures that the new mark is never crowded out but asserts its authority wherever it appears. Brand patterning that is amplified by a wide range of digital, print and physical applications, gives the new identity presence without overshadowing the visually arresting, often colourful products.

The YOO Home logotype comes in three variants: as a stand-alone word-mark, as a wordmark in a roundel, and as a lock-up with a geometric pattern created from the counter of the ‘O’. Here and elsewhere the identity plays with the positive and negative shapes inspired by the letter. A palette of materials and processes has been developed for use across all applications with their use and combinations dictated by a carefully considered set of brand guidelines.
