M&C Saatchi: Transport for London 'The hare and the tortoise'

Brand: Transport for London (TfL)

Title(s): The hare and the tortoise

Agency: M&C Saatchi

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

Executive Creative Director: Elspeth Lynn

Creative: Dipesh Mistry, Robert Graves Morris

Additional Credits: Planner/CSU Director: Gaby Bell

Media Agency: MEC

Media Planner: Gavin Laisby

Production Company: Rattling Stick

Producer: Stuart Bentham

Production Manager: Emily Atterton

Director: Sara Dunlop

Audio Post Production: Jungle/LFO Sound

Post Production: Electric Theatre

Published: March 2015

Short Rationale: M&C Saatchi has unveiled an integrated campaign for Transport for London targeting young teenagers aged 11 – 14 to encourage responsible behaviour and persuade them to give their full attention to crossing roads.

The ad centres on two groups of teenagers – one group wearing hare masks and the other with tortoise masks for a fancy dress party – teasing each other from a distance. The hares run through a tunnel, while the tortoises walk slowly in an urban setting. As the film goes on, one of the hares get knocked down by a car ending with both parties taking off their masks revealing their shocked faces. The 60” second spot ends with the strapline ‘Think Slow, when crossing’.

Music: ‘Can’t Pretend’ – Tom O’Dell

Published: March 2015

Short Rationale: This is the first major brand campaign AMV has created for The Open University since winning a competitive pitch in 2014. It aims to show the UK that The OU is the home of self-starters, people who should be admired for their willingness to change their lives through hard work.

The campaign, 'Life-changing Learning', encapsulates the impact that The Open University can have on the lives of not just individual students but also of their families, employers, and wider society. By showcasing the qualities it takes to be an OU student, the OU seeks to demonstrate its brand qualities of good value, expert teaching and a unique learning experience.

The TV ad follows 4 OU students over the course of their studies as they strive to achieve their qualifications. It finishes with the end line “The most important thing you’ll learn at The Open University is what you’re capable of”.

AMV BBDO: V&A Museum of Childhood 'See the world through a child’s eyes'

Brand: V&A Museum of Childhood

Title(s): See the world through a child’s eyes

Agency: AMV BBDO

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

Creative Director: Ant Nelson, Mike Sutherland

Art Director: Alan Wilson

Copywriter: Diccon Driver

Additional Credits: Agency Planner: Nick Andrew

Agency Account Man: Nick Andrew

Agency Producer: Sophie Hector, Sarah Fox

Published: March 2015

Short Rationale: AMV BBDO has created a unique outdoor campaign for the V&A Museum of Childhood which is running this week.

The V&A Museum of Childhood houses the V&A’s collection of childhood objects and is committed to great design, creativity and the local community. AMV’s campaign aims to harness all three.

Entitled See the world through a child’s eyes AMV scoured Tower Hamlets to find interesting and unusual objects and spaces, and channelled our child-like imagination to reinterpret them. Where you might see a drain in the street, a child sees a fire engine; a fountain becomes a whale’s blow-hole; and a lamppost is transformed into a monkey bar…

Every poster site is based on a specific location within Tower Hamlets. Vinyls were applied to reinterpret the spaces as seen through the eyes of a child and mapped on a campaign microsite – created by MediaMonks: http://www.mocseetheworld.com/

Each of the 20 images is playful and fun and direct members of the public to the Museum itself.

Artists and illustrators featured include Martha Orzel, Greg Abbot, Kate Sutton, Rob Flowers, Paul Pateman, Serge Seidlitz, Mick Marston, Andrew Rae, Sergio Mora Thiago de Moraes, Andy Clough and Dalatando Almeida.

BrandOpus: Rhythm 'Branding and packaging'

Brand: Rhythm

Title(s): Branding and packaging

Agency: BrandOpus

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

Published: March 2015

Short Rationale: BrandOpus, a global strategic brand design agency, has created a brand for Rhythm, the first non-dairy Kefir culture probiotic drink, which is now on sale in Wholefoods Market, As Nature Intended and Holland & Barrett.

BrandOpus worked closely with the client to develop an entirely new brand for this exciting category first. The identity features a flowing typeface and device indicating the natural inner rhythm that Rhythm offers the consumer. The identity is wrapped in a green leafy device, reflective of the young coconut water ingredient that makes Rhythm so unique.

Grey London: Volvo 'Swedish Air'

Volvo - Swedish Air from Grey London on Vimeo.

Brand: Volvo

Title(s): Swedish Air

Agency: Grey London

Agency website: http://www.grey.co.uk/

Chief Creative Officer: Nils Leonard

Creative Director: Hollie Newton

Creative Team: Hollie Newton (film), Jonas Roth, Rasmus Smith Bech (inhaler)

Additional Credits: Account Team: Cristyn Bevan, Sophie Critchley, Alex Nixon

Planner: Wiktor Skoog

Producer: Marcus Eley

Editor: Louis Tristram @ GreyWorks

Product Design & Fabrication: Off Centre

Designer/Typographer: Chris Chapman

Sound Design: String & Tins

Post Production: Gramercy Park Studios, Grey Works

Published: March 2015

Short Rationale: As Volvo continues to innovate in the luxury segment of the car market, it has identified one of the greatest commodities in the world today: clean air.

Volvo’s new XC90 boasts the cleanest engine performance in its class, with CO2 emissions of just 60 g/km. But Volvo is just as concerned about the air inside the car as the air outside. CleanZone air filtration manages the interior air quality of the cabin, promoting the health and wellbeing of the cars’ occupants. Drivers can breathe easier knowing most microscopic, hazardous “fine dust” particles will now be prevented from entering the vehicle.

As part of a series of films promoting the key product innovations of the upcoming XC90, the Swedish car manufacturer is launching its newest air filtration technology in a less than conventional way. Rather than labouring the technicalities of the remarkable clean air filtration unit in the upcoming XC90, it has taken a far more sensory approach.

Volvo is selling the virtues of Swedish Air itself.

In probably the most tranquil, quiet car commercial you will ever see, we are transported to the vast, unspoilt, open Swedish landscape that inspired Volvo’s technology.

Form: Abbey Road 'Abbey Road identity'

Brand: Abbey Road

Title(s): Abbey Road identity

Agency: Form, London, UK

Agency website: http://www.form.uk.com

Creative Director: Paul West/Paula Benson

Art Director: Paul West/Paula Benson

Illustrator: Patrick Thomas

Published: March 2015

Short rationale (optional): Abbey Road Studios is not only the most famous recording studios in the world, it’s a global music icon. Uniquely, it is just as famous among music fans as it is among music professionals because of its exalted alumni.

The evolving landscape of the music industry has provided an opportunity for the Studios to re-shape their business and a new visual identity was required to help communicate their vision for the future more effectively - to meet the changing needs of music creators on a global scale, from professional music makers to music fans.

Abbey Road commissioned Form in December 2014 to help with their repositioning strategy and to create a new visual brand identity to connect with a wider audience. Form were chosen because of their extensive knowledge in both design for music and large scale branding projects (having worked with hundreds of bands including Elbow and Depeche Mode and rebrand projects such as Reading & Leeds and Latitude festivals).

Short Rationale: S7 Airlines, one of Russia’s largest carriers, has revealed Fly to any place you can imagine – an integrated campaign that aims to bring the wonder of flight to a new generation of Russian travellers by taking a fresh look at our amazing world through the eyes of a child.

In partnership with oneworld Airline Alliance, S7 Airlines flies to over 900 destinations worldwide - taking Russian travellers to any place imaginable. To remind them that the whole planet is within their reach, S7 interviewed 20 children and asked one question - ‘if you could fly to any place you can imagine where would it be?”. S7 Airlines then travelled the world to find the children’s ‘dragons’, ‘spaceships’ and ‘lakes made of chocolate’, with their answers and limitless imaginations forming the entire integrated campaign.

Haygarth: Organic Trade Board 'Organic. Naturally Different.'

Brand: Organic Trade Board

Title(s): Organic. Naturally Different.

Agency: Haygarth, London, UK

Creative Director: Steve Rogers

Deputy Creative Director: Alberto Perrotta

Copywriter: Laura Howard

Additional credits: Senior Artworker: Katie Lewis

Artworker: Michael Arthey

Strategic Planner: Fiona Murdock

Published: March 2015

Short rationale: Many food and drink brands hoping to attract a “foodie” audience adopt “food porn” or fields/farmer images to denote provenance and quality. The ‘Organic. Naturally Different.’ campaign distances itself from these clichés with a distinctive and humorous creative, using clear statements of difference. The creative highlights the most compelling reasons for choosing organic – no use of pesticides, great taste and high animal welfare – whilst using humour to engage consumers.

Duval Guillaume: Febelfin 'Children’s truth about banking'

Brand: Febelfin

Title(s): Children’s truth about banking

Agency: Duval Guillaume

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

Creative Director: Veronique Sels, Koenraad Lefever, Dries De Wilde

Art Director: Ad Van Ongeval

Copywriter: Jérémie Goldwasser

Productiehuis: Borgerhoff & Lamberigts

Executive producer: Isabelle Baele

Producer: Els Chapelle

Director: Henrik Luyten & Lies Vanderauwera

DOP: Arne Focketyn

Published: March 2015

Short Rationale: When your briefing is to do an image campaign for the banks, you know it’s going to be hard. And it’s even harder when people are still experiencing the aftermath of the financial crisis. This was the challenge given to us by Febelfin, the Belgian Financial Sector Federation.

So instead of sending out a message to the consumers, we let the consumers send out a message to the bankers.

And to do that, we turned to the next generation of talent. Because children do not only speak the truth… they are also the future of our society.

Their reactions are compiled in this movie.

Title(s): Valspar Paint 3D House

Agency: Clarion Communications

Agency website: www.ClarionComms.co.uk

Art Director: Nina Camplin

Photographer: Solent

Additional Credits: Design created by Will Taylor of Bright Bazaar

Inspired by: Will Taylor of Bright Bazaar

Brought to life by: artists Nina Camplin & Barney Dunham

Published: March 2015

Short Rationale: Passers-by had to do a double take as they walked along London’s busy Clerkenwell Road. At first glance, it looks as if a crane has smashed through the brick wall of a residential building to reveal its colourful interior.

In reality, onlookers were in fact witnessing a stunningly realistic piece of 3D art, exposing the interior of a family home, to celebrate the launch of Valspar paint into 350 B&Q stores across UK and Ireland.

Forming part of the brand’s £multi-million ‘Colour Outside the Lines’ marketing campaign, intended to inspire the nation to be brighter and bolder in their colour choices, the space was design by interior designer, Will Taylor, and brought to life by Poole based community artist, Nina Camplin - who specialises in the complex painting technique known as trompe l'oeil - alongside street art experts, Global Street Art.

The artwork will be live throughout March 2015, alongside TV, online, social and PR.

Film Production: Outsider

Director: Pedro Romhanyi

Producer: Gareth Francis

Editing House: Big Buoy

Post Production: Richard Hawkins @ The Mill

Smoke: Richard Payne

Sound Design: Jungle

Published: March 2015

Short Rationale: With spring just around the corner, krow have created a playful ad using time lapse to show how a new sofa can be at the centre of change in your living room.

The spot focuses on a dull living room, which comes to life when a floral sofa is illuminated by the rays of sunshine from outside, awakening it and causing the printed flowers on the sofa to open up. This in turn sparks a chain reaction in the room with threads sprouting from the floorboards quickly forming into a rug, and an ordinary lampshade metamorphosing into an elaborate one.

The campaign is designed to encourage consumers to embrace the freshness of spring and make a change in their homes, starting with the heart of the home – the sofa.
