The breakthrough came from the realisation that one of the key drivers for innovation is asking QUESTIONS; Questions such as Why, What and How? We discovered that QFC was already asking big questions of its people to drive continuous improvement. We took this as the core idea for the brand’s development. The Q in ‘QFC’ became the question and the big idea for the business.

Every employee was given a brand book which provided the ‘Why’, explaining the strategic rationale behind the new brand and what it means for them. At the same time a new website was launched together with new signage across QFC’s two manufacturing sites.

Short Rationale (optional): Leading energy supplier SSE has launched a national advertising campaign aimed at re-engaging customers with energy and highlighting the actions that SSE is taking to make a difference and earn customers’ trust.

The multi-channel campaign launched with a 90” spot in TV, cinema and online. The film features a Computer Generated Image (CGI) orangutan who visits a city and experiences energy in all its manifestations, discovering an amazing wonderland of light, heat and sound. It aims to capture the wonderful things energy enables us to do in our lives.

The campaign is complemented by outdoor, press and digital executions which highlight SSE’s ‘actions to make a difference’ – its commitments to making energy more affordable, simple and rewarding for customers.

SSE will also use the campaign to highlight why it is proud to make a difference to the UK economy, from its ongoing multi-billion investment in energy infrastructure to being the only energy company to pay at least the Living Wage to its 19,000 plus employees based across Great Britain and Ireland.

The campaign was developed in partnership with creative agency adam&eveDDB and media agency OMD UK. The film was written by James Gillham and Graham Cappi (adam&eveDDB), directed by Frederic Planchon (Academy Films), and the orangutan was created entirely in CGI by The Mill.

Published: October 2014

Short Rationale (optional): Soreen, the 75 year old malt loaf brand, has launched a national repositioning campaign – spending over 3 million for the first time in over a decade - to reinforce its position as a versatile snack with substance.

The new ad, created by The Red Brick Road, features a live-action puppet, The Loveable Loaf, and addresses the brand’s barriers to purchase; relevance, range awareness and usage occasion, emphasizing to consumers that Soreen is a healthy, versatile snack of substance.

The 30 second TV ad, directed by Joseph Mann through Blinkink, sees The Loveable Loaf stride out of the Soreen bakery, nearly knocking a postman off his bike, before slowly shrinking in size sharing his deliciousness with different people who tear off and enjoy bite-sized chunks to see them through the day. The ad ends with the Loveable Loaf back in his packet, with the rest of the range, back at the Soreen bakery.

The Loveable Loaf’s versatility is highlighted as he is eaten by people from all walks of life from children, to racing cyclists, to office workers and combined with various toppings including cheese and more traditionally, butter.

Agency: Isobar

Agency website: http://isobar.com/uk

Creative Director: Pierre Duquesnoy

Art Director: Chris Da Costa

Copywriter: John Walters

Additional credits: Team at Blackmeal for their 3D modelling and animation.

Published: October 2014

Short rationale (optional): Kellogg’s launched the ‘best bits of BRFKFST’ an integrated campaign to promote the re-launch of the popular Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain breakfast range in the UK and Ireland. Devised and created by Isobar, the ‘Squeeze in the best bits of BRKFST’ will adorn digital and static OOH, print, as well as desktop and mobile online media. The campaign is also supported by a new brand website.

The campaign uses distinctive, humorous and light-hearted creative to target busy people who want food that they can eat on the go, on busy weekday mornings. The creative idea neatly reflects these desires, playfully showcasing how the Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain range of products ‘squeezes’ in tasty, breakfast ingredients, whilst emphasising how easily they can fit into their busy mornings.

Across the majority of platforms, the ‘best bits of BRKFST’ uses animated artwork, created by Blackmeal and produced by Jelly London, to comically speculate on how all of the brand’s ingredients will squeeze themselves into the finished product.

Producer: Pat Sullivan

Mix Engineer: Stephen Rosen

Published: October 2014

Short Rationale (optional): Strongbow Hard Apple Cider, has launched its latest campaign “Cider at Its Bestest” which includes the brand’s first ever US television spot, “Slow Motion Horse.” The campaign, set to run nationally across the US, puts the product at its core, showcasing that Strongbow over ice is the best cider experience possible.

The playful campaign, created by Droga5, demonstrates that apples are good, but as Strongbow cider, they’re better, and when served over ice, Strongbow is the best. “With cider brands trying to out-refresh each other, we went better than best, to bestest,” said John McKelvey, Creative Director of Droga5. “The overall campaign explores the absurd notions of making the best even more desirable. In this case it meant enjoying a Strongbow with your horse that only runs in slow motion. That’s the bestest," added Hannes Ciatti, Creative Director of Droga5.

“Slow Motion Horse” will begin airing on October 1, followed by an extended :60 that will air online and on social channels. An additional :15 spot titled, “Three Sunsets,” will debut later this fall. The new brand platform will be supported through a mix of traditional and paid media, digital, PR and experiential marketing.

Informed by the overarching Lipton brand relaunch, the redesign of Lipton Ice Tea addresses key aspects including branding, visual equities, bottle structure, and key visual campaigns for communications.

Part of the challenge was to help expand Lipton Ice Tea’s appeal so it would simultaneously compete on shelf with Carbonated Soft Drinks (CSDs) as well as other existing ice tea brands.

Published: October 2014

Short Rationale (optional): The campaign, 'Presence redefined', features an atmospheric 60-second film in which a gramophone extolling outmoded ideas of 'presence' - “flex your influencing muscles” and “impose yourself, stand tall” - is quietly and nonchalantly tipped to the floor by the raised rear spoiler of the Audi A7 Sportback.

The campaign also features a partnership between Audi and the Economist magazine, which explores the theme of 'Presence redefined' by examining modern business leadership, what this new idea of presence consists of and who in fact has it.

The 'Presence redefined' content, to be hosted on an online hub owned by the Economist, includes a poll by high-level executives around the world to get their thoughts on what it is to be a modern business leader and how that has changed for them in the past few years.

The site will launch with a video interview with Doug Richards, former Dragon’s Den investor, and founder of School for Startups. Content will be added from October through to December.

Published: October 2014

Short Rationale (optional): NatWest and M&C Saatchi have unveiled an integrated campaign – ‘Goodbye, Hello’ – raising awareness of NatWest and the Royal Bank of Scotland’s move towards fairer banking for all customers.

In the TV ad we see a series of ‘goodbyes’, such as a couple waving goodbye to rainy weather as they board a plane somewhere hot, with the voiceover: ‘There are some goodbyes that feel good … So we’re saying a few of our own.’ The ad cuts to a man who discards a pile of ‘New Customers Only’ banking offers, and walks into a NatWest branch with a smile of relief. The voiceover comments: ‘Starting with saying goodbye to offers that aren’t available to our loyal customers. Goodbye unfair banking.’

The spot closes with the strapline ‘Goodbye unfair banking. Hello NatWest.’

The press, outdoor and digital display ads further substantiate the campaign message, with a series of straplines including: ‘Goodbye to hiding the best offers online. Hello to the same deals in branch, over the phone and online.’

A Royal Bank of Scotland version of the integrated campaign will run in Scotland with the strapline ‘Goodbye unfair banking. Hello Royal Bank of Scotland.’

Brand: Chips Ahoy!

Title(s): Chips Ahoy! Gorilla Hijack

Agency: PHD, London and Drum, London

Agency website: http://www.phdmedia.com/ http://www.drum.co.uk/

Creative Director: Matt Cole

Art Director: Matt Cole

Published: October 2014

Short rationale (optional): Mondelēz International launched the world’s number one chocolate chip cookie brand, Chips Ahoy! in the UK on Saturday 4 October – by hijacking one of its own ads, Cadbury “Gorilla” - during the break of ITV’s The X Factor.

The Cookie Guy, the cheeky Chips Ahoy! character who loves to push boundaries and blow a big raspberry in the face of convention, gave “Gorilla” - one of the nation’s most loved commercials - a surprising and disruptive twist, to introduce the mischievous personality of the brand.

The one-off, special edition Chips Ahoy! hijack was seen by approximately 8.1 million X Factor viewers on 4th October (35 per cent share) and ad-synced with an official X Factor App game where users could take their turn to ‘mess with an icon’ through a series of interactive levels. Amplified across Facebook, Twitter and tactical YouTube pre-roll placements, the ad was additionally supported with hijack-style posts across Cadbury and Chips Ahoy! social channels to further showcase the rule-breaking behavior of the Cookie Guy.

As a result, the Chips Ahoy! remix of Cadbury “Gorilla” has so far achieved a combined social media reach of over 8 million, been viewed 363,206 times online and generated 418,751 social engagements.
