Music: Fred Ashworth @ Native

Published: February 2015

Short Rationale: Pancake Day is one of those days that comes around each year, seemingly out of nowhere, with a different date each year. Nutella is the perfect pancake accompaniment, so we wanted to launch a campaign to let people know when Pancake Day was coming (and also not to forget their Nutella for the big day!) and to encourage people to really celebrate this occasion!

The idea behind the campaign was to create a short, sweet and catchy Pancake Day jingle for the TV ad as a celebration of the event (much like a Christmas carol), with the other elements of the campaign using a distinctive paper cut-out style by US artist Julene Harrison to tie it all together.

Published: February 2015

Short Rationale: Sunny, the short-term credit provider, launches its first integrated campaign since St Luke’s was appointed to handle its advertising account. The campaign, entitled ‘New Dawn’, positions Sunny as a stepping-stone to a brighter financial future and introduces the new strapline, “Tomorrow will be Sunny.”

The TV campaign features a launch ‘Manifesto’ ad to introduce the brand, and two further spots showing how a Sunny loan can help their customers overcome common challenges in everyday life, such as moving house or running a one-man business.

The ads follow character stories, which are based upon research insight into the real, and sensible, needs of customers who turn to Sunny when they need extra financial help in the short to medium term.

Going back to its roots, the John Frieda Brand is “taking over” London with a number of exciting launches—from a “domination” of Piccadilly Circus with screens and custom video, to the Brit Awards on 25 February, to hitting the silver screen at showings of 50 Shades of Grey, and more.

The MiniMart: Macmillan Cancer Support 'From lonely thoughts to shared support'

Brand: Macmillan Cancer Support

Title(s): From lonely thoughts to shared support

Agency: The MiniMart

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

Creative Director: Ed Chilcott

Art Director: Gina Martin

Copywriter: Jenny Crothers

Additional Credits: Account Manager: Samantha Dixon

Illustrator and Animator: Doug Haymen

Audio Post Production: Jim Griffin @ Jungle

Published: February 2015

Short Rationale: The Minimart and Macmillan Cancer Support have launched an animated film to highlight their Online Community; a place where those affected by cancer, either directly or indirectly, can go for advice and support from others going through the same experience.

The film tells the story of Helen and describes, in her own words, the loneliness, fear and isolation she experienced as she came to terms with being diagnosed with breast cancer, but also how she found support and strength via the Macmillan Online Community. Helen, who was subsequently given the all clear, spoke unscripted, providing a candid and personal insight into her illness and the how the Online Community helped her. Animation was then used to bring her words to life, creating a powerful contrast to the subject matter.

Published: February 2015

Short Rationale: Franke is redefining and unifying its brand image under the ‘Make It Wonderful’ global campaign.

gyro London was appointed to create a strong go-to-market brand proposition for Franke that centered around one coherent idea. It also needed to drive brand awareness among Franke’s customers, distinguish itself from competitors by approaching customers in a fresh, inspiring and emotional way, and give Franke employees an identity to rally around.

Bearing that in mind, the creative minds at gyro decided to focus on the magic that Franke products bring to every environment they live in.

To bring the ‘Make It Wonderful’ vision to life, eight internationally renowned artists – Victo Ngai, Shan Jiang, ilovedust, Amaia Arrazola Otaduy, Steve Simpson, Am I Collective, Gabriel Picolo Bertasoli and Christopher Martin – were commissioned to create inspiring and whimsical illustrations that demonstrated key values of the Franke brand

Published: February 2015

Short Rationale: To mark 50 years since the Colonel landed in Great Britain, KFC commences a year of celebrations by launching a series of campaigns toasting half a century of great taste and sharing in the UK.

Multi-channel campaign “Families” airs from Monday 9 February and reflects on 50 years of KFC bringing families closer together around the dinner table to share in a “hands-on, dig-in” meal. Continuing with the narrative-driven style of more recent KFC campaigns, the ad tells the story of a boy welcomed into his new foster family and shows that, while families come in many shapes and sizes, what brings them together invariably stays the same.

The company will also launch #50YearsOfKFC, a social media campaign celebrating the tastes that KFC is famous for – Original Recipe and Zinger, and thanking the fans who love them. Launching on Monday 9th February with two TV ads, including one for each of the Original and Zinger tastes, the campaign will search for KFC’s number one fans by inviting lovers of Original and Zinger chicken to share via #50yearsofKFC what they would do for the love of their favourite KFC taste. The best entrants will be challenged to complete their pledge for the chance to win a unique, once in a lifetime prize – the chance to treat the ones they love to a KFC sharing meal each month for the next 50 years.

Cheetham Bell: Dreams 'The Day After Valentine’s Day'

Brand: Dreams

Title(s): The Day After Valentine’s Day

Headline and copy text (in English): One of our busiest days of the year

Agency: Cheetham Bell, Manchester, UK

Agency website: http://cheethambelljwt.com/

Creative Director: Martin Smith & Andy Huntingdon

Art Director: Martin Smith

Copywriter: Andy Huntingdon

Photographer: Tim Ainsworth

Published: Month, Year: February 2015

Short rationale (optional): Dreams is the UK’s leading bed specialist, with more than 160 stores across the UK. Since winning the account in April last year, Cheetham Bell has developed a brand belief for Dreams that ‘better sleep makes a better you’. The new brand positioning has been rolled out across multiple media including TV, press and social channels.

This year, for Valentine’s Day, Cheetham Bell and Dreams saw an opportunity to do something industry ground-breaking. While other brands fight for attention on the Day itself, they recognised the day after Valentine’s Day as the moment that we romantics might be needing a new bed…

Their cheeky 1/2 page ad ran on February 15 in Sunday’s Sun and Mail newspapers as well as across Dreams’ social channels.

FCB Inferno: Valspar Paint 'Colour outside the lines'

Brand: Valspar Paint

Title(s): Colour outside the lines

Agency: FCB Inferno

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

Executive Creative Director: Gary Robinson

Art Director: Chris Spore

Copywriter: Cate Anderson

Additional Credits: Managing Partner: Katy Wright

Account Director: Helena Georghiou

Planning Director: Shula Sinclair

Producer: Shaun Nickless

Media Company: Havas Media

Production Company: Bare Films

Producer: Helen Hadfield

Editor: Christen Iversen (Peep Show)

Post Production Producer: Angela Lucatoni

Post Production: Rushes

Audio Post Production: Nick Davis

Music Sync Company: Felt Music

Published: February 2015

Short Rationale: To support its UK & Ireland launch, through 360 B&Q stores nationwide, Valspar tasked FCB Inferno to help position them, the number two paint brand in North America, as the challenger brand in a market where they remain relatively unknown.

The vibrant campaign urges us to remember what it was like choosing colours just because we loved them, that colour should be an expression of personality, to reflect our mood or create change in our lives. Who cares if a colour is fashionable or not? All that matters is if it means something to you. In an up-tempo TV film we see ‘colour ambassadors’ doing just this, and living their life through colour.

Deadly Knitshade the graffiti knitter, the flamboyant Sue Kreitzman and the owner of neon light shop God’s Own Junkyard are all seen having fun with colour and embodying Valspar’s creative philosophy. Set to a voiceover from Imelda Staunton, the film ends with the line “stop blending in and colour outside the lines. Say hello to Valspar.”

Online is a significant element of the campaign. Five of the colour ambassadors are also featured in a series of films made for the website and social media, where their story is told in greater detail, offering tips and inspiration for users. The Valspar website is fully interactive and paint colours change with the wave of a mouse.

They love sport and want to help people enjoy it as much as they do. Whatever their interest, experience and budget.

Media, Sponsorship and Digital: Mindshare

Web, social, digital activation: VML

Public Relations: Liquid Ideas

Packaging design: Loop Brands

Published: February 2014

Short Rationale: Nutri-Grain has announced the launch of a new content led campaign, targeting teens. Created by JWT Sydney in conjunction with partners Finch, Mindshare, Liquid Ideas, and VML, the campaign repositions the brand from 'Iron Man Food' to launch a powerful, belief-based brand purpose which celebrates individuals who live unstoppable lives.

The campaign spans long and short form content, supported by TVCs, digital, online, PR and social executions. Reflecting the insight that teens want to live full lives – but are increasingly held back by emotional, social or physical barriers that stop them following through – the campaign’s core content was created by JWT and independent production company Finch.

Centred around ‘unstoppable’ individuals, each inspiring story showcases the Nutri-Grain brand values of courage, strength and determination, and dramatises a new brand belief that 'the only limits are those you place on yourself’.
