Short Rationale: Only 4 out of 10 curly haired girls think their hair is beautiful. In fact you are less likely to like your hair if it is curly, at any stage in your life. So the women who do like their curls need show the world they are proud in order to inspire others.

Dove and Ogilvy Paris create a campaign which encourages women to openly love, be proud and embrace their curly hair.

The campaign continues to amplify the ongoing conversation Dove has been leading on real beauty.

The commercial, created by Grey New York, was inspired by a real domestic violence call. The NFL donated its airtime for the spot and its production costs.

Leo’s Thjnk Tank: McDonalds Germany 'Forever Young'

Brand: McDonald’s Germany

Title(s): Forever Young

Agency: Leo’s thjnk tank

Agency website: http://www.thjnk.de/

Chief Creative Officer: Armin Jochum, Andreas Pauli

Creative Supervision: Georg Baur, Torben Otten, Florian Weber, Armin Jochum

Creative Director: Torben Otten, Georg Bauer

TV Producer: Thomas Nabbefeld, Marcus Wetschewald

Director: Alex Feil

Film Production: Tempomedia Filmproduktion GMBH

DOP: Antonio Palladino

Producer: Vera Portz, Justin Mundehenke

Music: Supereme Music

Published: January 2015

Short Rationale: Director Alex Feil helps McDonald’s celebrate its 60th anniversary in Germany with a heartwarming 1:30” spot out of Leo Burnett’s new hybrid German agency, Thjnk Tank. Feil sends in the clowns with a poignant and cinematic glimpse into the life of an octogenarian circus performer who still dons the greasepaint.

The spot features legendary Russian clown, Oleg Popov, also known as “the Sunshine Clown.” One of the most popular circus performers of the 20th century, Popov still manages to delight audiences and inspire standing ovations today at age 84.

The dulcet lilt of the music gilds the story with a bittersweet glow, as we watch the jester take joy in life's simplest pleasures, ending with a trip to the Golden Arches. There, he gives a nod to the most famous clown of all, Ronald McDonald, as the tag line appears: "When you make people happy, you never get old."

Voice: Lord Poppington’s 'Identity and packaging'

Brand: Lord Poppington’s

Title(s): Identity and packaging

Agency: Voice

Agency website: http://realworldthinking.co/

Creative Director: Tim Harrison

Designer: Tom Glen

Strategist and Copywriter: Chris Sherrard

Published: January 2015

Short Rationale: Leicestershire based brand and design agency Voice have worked with midlands snack brand Lord Poppington’s on evolving the identity and packaging for their popcorn range of snacks.

The brand which featured in the 2014 John Lewis Christmas hamper are starting to roll out the new identity and packaging across major UK retailers, delis and farm shops.

Voice’s Tim Harrison says “We wanted to bring some of the eccentrically English attributes of the brand into the packaging by bringing colours that depict the popcorn flavour into the union jack back drop. We have also evolved the character “Percy” by simplifying the illustration and highlighting his distinguishable features – the cane, top hat, bow tie and shoes which allows for tactical campaigns in the future”.

Published: January 2015Short Rationale: Travel Supermarket has a broad selection of winter sun deals, and a simple-to-use platform for booking a last minute escape from the dreary British weather. The only thing they couldn't do was help secure the time off work...until now.

Before Christmas, we asked consumers to follow us on twitter & send us a picture of them enduring the gloomy winter weather with #HolidayDouble

We chose one winner and sought out their 'holiday double,' a professional clone to cover their working duties, while Travel Supermarket sent them on an all-expenses paid holiday to Jamaica.

This film shows the hilarious results of the Holiday Double and their attempts at living life in our winner's shoes.

The campaign will be supported by an exclusive partnership with Shortlist, paid for Twitter media activity and broadcast support across Travel Supermarket owned channels.

Music House: Yessian Composer: Bill Wandel Producer: Gerard Smerek

Sound Design: Yessian Sound designer: Dean Hovey

Audio Mix: Yessian Mixer: Scotty Gatteno

Published: January 2015

Short Rationale: The TV spot, which just launched during ESPN’s X Games Aspen 2015, shows audiences that America’s Navy is the only military branch that’s on watch around the world and around the clock.

It is also the first commercial to highlight the Navy’s role in protecting the U.S. against both physical and digital threats. In order to truly encapsulate all of the Navy’s capabilities, Lowe Campbell Ewald took on the difficult task of incorporating various complex land, air and sea shots and gave the spot more of a “movie-like quality” with its enhanced visuals and music.

Entitled “Pin Map,” the work features obscure red globes in the background of each shot that are later identified as “pins” – similar to the ones you would see on a map to “pinpoint” your location. The pins speak to the hundreds of locations you can currently find Navy personnel – whether it be a snowy mountain top, harsh desert, deep in the jungle, among the clouds or open sea. The spot’s intense music and locales showcase the complexity of what the Navy does and rounds out by stating “Around the world, around the clock. In defense in all we hold dear back home

We Launch: Post Office Money 'Brand Imagery'

Agency: We Launch, London, England

Agency website: http://welaunch.co.uk

Creative Director: Stuart Lang

Art Director: Stuart Lang

Copywriter: Stephen Mulholland

Illustrator: Les Hynes

Photographer: Nick Daly

Published: January, 2015

Short rationale (optional): The Post Office has always offered a wide range of financial services products – but public perception mainly viewed them as only providing traditional and functional postal delivery services. With the launch of the ‘Post Office Money’ brand, they are now clearly and firmly pitching their financial products against those of the established high-street banks. The new images are now being used throughout the new Post Office Money website and printed collateral to bring a very real, human element to this exciting new high street brand.

B-Reel': Nordeus 'Top Eleven'

Brand: Nordeus

Title(s): Top Eleven

Agency: B-Reel

Agency website: http://www.b-reel.com/

Additional Credits: Director: Emil Moller

Producer: Ivana Bohuslavova

EP: Trine Pillay

Editor: Phil Hignett @ Marshall St Editors

Published: January 2015

Short Rationale: José Mourinho stars in a new advertising campaign shot through B-Reel London for Top Eleven, the football manager game from cross platform games developer Nordeus.

In the commercial the Chelsea manager delivers an inspirational call to arms to football fans everywhere, before a humourous twist shows even ‘the Special One’ does not always take himself too seriously.

Top Eleven’s film for this new campaign was developed by creative partner B-Reel London. It features the ‘Special One’ delivering a stirring speech about the spirit of the beautiful game and action-packed vignettes capturing the trials and tribulations of the world’s most popular sport.

BBD Perfect Storm: Skins 'Official FIFA Non-Sponsor'

Brand: Skins

Title(s): Official FIFA Non-Sponsor

Agency: BBD Perfect Storm

Agency website: http://www.bbdperfectstorm.com/

Executive Creative Director: Seb Hill

Creatives: Lianne Rivett, Jacob-Hill Gowing, Danielle Mensah, Matt Hull

Additional Credits: Account Management: Jamie Buchanan, Antonia Metcalfe

Production Company: Quiet Storm, Bad Moods

Director: Nick Horowitz

Editor: Dave Owen (Quiet Storm), Ben Hedley (Bad Moods)

Post Production: Quiet Storm

Music Production/Track: Beat Suite

Published: January 2015

Short Rationale: FIFA is a discredited organisation that no longer shares any values with the companies whom sponsor it. For this reason, SKINS would never sponsor FIFA.

But for SKINS, doing nothing is not enough. We’re uncomfortable just standing on the sidelines voicing politically-correct disapproval. We can do better than that.

We didn’t want to just opt out of being a sponsor. We went one step further: we opted in to be a non-sponsor. This was our way of saying we violently & wholeheartedly reject the way FIFA runs global football. After all, we have a track record of campaigning to right the wrongs of global sport. It’s part of our DNA – to fight for The Spirit Of True Competition.

The strength of the idea lay in the subversion of traditional sponsor behaviour, by parodying traditional activation plans & the channels they use to announce ourselves as the first ever Official Non-Sponsor of FIFA.

Director: Jono Holmes

Published: January 2015

Short Rationale: Carnivore Club, a meat-of-the-month club, was looking for a new way to sell subscriptions. Many products typically given as gifts are marketed as a form of forgiveness―flowers, chocolates and diamonds have been doing this for years.

Carnivore Club partnered with Toronto-based creative agency Bensimon Byrne to make Carnivore Club the first product to market itself as a form of pre-emptive forgiveness. A gift you should give because we’re all bound to screw up eventually. They dubbed it F-Up Insurance. Now you can protect yourself from your mistakes before you even make them.
