Short Rationale: The campaign, created by 180 Amsterdam, will launch the DHL FC Bayern Munich online fan shop in China on 27th May, as well as being premiered online and at the Allianz Arena in Munich, at the FC Bayern vs. Mainz match.

Creative agency 180 Amsterdam, was tasked with creating a launch campaign that would truly reflect the enormous passion Chinese football fans have for FC Bayern Munich and give them a unique perspective on the stars of their favourite club.

The film at the centre of the campaign presents some of Bayern Munich’s most famous players in a range of surprising and hilarious scenes alongside a selection of the FC Bayern Munich merchandise from the new fan shop.

While we see the usual club shirts, balls and towels being modeled by the players, we also see midfielder Arjen Robben determinedly dunking his tea bag in an FC Bayern Munich mug, club goalkeeper Manuel Neuer lunging to catch a novelty gnome and forward Thomas Müller dons lederhosen for a traditional Bavarian slap dance.

Brand: Alfa Romeo

Title(s): Made of Red

Art Director: Nick Scott

Additional Credits: Planner: Nick Gill

Media Agency: Maxus Partnerships

Published: June 2015

Short Rationale: Full service creative agency, Doner, has unveiled an integrated campaign for Alfa Romeo – ‘Made of Red’ – encapsulating the passion and attitude evoked by the colour red, which is integral to the brand’s identity.

The new creative will run across TV, press, online and social; the campaign celebrates the colour red – identified by Alfa Romeo as a characteristic integral to its brand, and part of its DNA – and the sense of adrenaline, sensuality, temptation and emotion associated with it.

As part of the integrated campaign Doner will this week launch an Instagram initiative to drive engagement with Alfa Romeo fans and leverage the Made of Red messaging.

Fallon: Alzheimer’s Society 'Fade'

Brand: Alzheimer’s Society

Title(s): Fade

Agency: Fallon

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

Executive Creative Director: Nick Bell

Creative/Copywriter/Art Director: Oli Rimoldi, Sigi Egedal

Designer/Typographer: Dan Montgomery

Editor (for digital OOH): Alex Hinx

Account Director: Lucy Kozak

Published: May 2015

Short Rationale: Alzheimer’s Society launches the next phase of its national brand campaign, to support the launch of the emotional ‘Gone’ TVC.

The emotive print ads, are creatively in line with the ‘Fade’ Cinema commercial, which preceded screenings of the Oscar and BAFTA winning film ‘Still Alice’, starring Julianne Moore as a linguistics professor who is diagnosed with earlyonset Alzheimer’s.

The three executions are running nationally in standard press, OOH formats and digital OOH. Created by Oli Rimoldi and Sigi Egedal, and designed by Dan Montgomery, each execution shows copy fading to illustrate the stark reality of life for those with the disorder. For example, the text "It's dreadfully irritating when my husband forgets to pick me up from the station" fades to "It's dreadful when my husband forgets me", showing the progression of Alzheimer's.

The campaign aims to not only portray the devastating and isolating effects of living with dementia, but also to reassure people that through care, advice and research, Alzheimer’s Society can help keep people connected to those they love for longer and that life doesn’t end when dementia begins.

The posters are designed to be displayed side by side, with an extensive media buying on closing doors in for example the metro and on elevators.

The first visual shows a pair of adult legs with a bottle of Evian and on the visual next to it, we see a baby’s torso and head. A sort of live before and after.

Additional Credits:Post Production Sound Engineer: Ben Leeves - Grand Central Studios

Editor: Flaura Atkinson - The Quarry

Post Production – nineteentwenty

Published: May 2015

Short Rationale (optional): New York Bakery Company’s new campaign ‘A Taste of New York’ promotes the bran;s growing range of bakery products, including the introduction of new Bagel Sandwich Thins.

The TV ad, directed by Ed Morris, sees a man delivering an impassioned ode to his city from the very top of a skyscraper with views of Central Park, The Chrysler Building and the Empire State Building.

Filming it himself from up high, we see the camera flit from his face to the views across town, and straight down to the city’s streets beneath him. The denouement, as he takes a bite of bagel at the end is that ‘you don’t have to be in it to feel it, you just need a little taste of New York.’

Krow Communications: Le Creuset 'A thousand memories shared'

Brand: Le Creuset

Title(s): A thousand memories shared

Agency: Krow Communications

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

Creative Director: Nick Hastings

Art Director: Georg Thesmann

Copywriter: Tara Button

Photographer: Adam Hinton

Published: June 2015

Short Rationale: Le Creuset unveiled its new advertising campaign in June 2015, celebrating 90 years as a world-leading cookware brand, whilst repositioning the brand with a new and emotionally engaging communication that breaks the mould for cookware.

Entitled ‘A Thousand Memories Shared’, the campaign moves the brand away from just being rooted in the cookware category and instead reflects how people see Le Creuset as a benchmark for uncompromising quality and a desired, lifestyle brand. The new campaign centres on celebrating the life-long memories created with family and friends around food and Le Creuset has created a unique idea focused more on the emotional reasons to buy or invest in the brand.

Targeting affluent, style-conscious consumers with a passion for cooking and creating a lifetime of memories, the campaign is brought to life via three executions capturing authentic moments in time, including a group of millennial friends, a three generation family, and two life-long friends.

Iris Worldwide: Shell 'Staying ahead'

Robot Food: Bocce’s Bakery 'Rebrand'

Brand: Bocce’s Bakery

Title(s): Rebrand

Agency: Robot Food, Leeds, UK

Agency website: http://www.robot-food.com

Creative Director: Simon Forster

Art Director: Martin Widdowfield

Copywriter: Natalie Woodhead

Illustrator: Mike Johns

Photographer: Robot Food

Published: June 2015

Short rationale (optional): Bocce’s are a New York bakery with a difference. They only bake treats for dogs. UK-based design agency, Robot Food, created a new brand identity and a tasty new packaging range to set tongues (and tails) wagging.

Brooklyn-based Bocce’s make their dog biscuits by hand from natural, organic and seasonal ingredients. They’d noticed Robot Food’s work on various design blogs. So they asked them to overhaul their branding and create a new range of packaging to bring everything more in line with their nutritious, high quality product.

Robot Food injected some fun and friendly tone of voice and the on-pack brand story tells the tale of Bocce, the owners’ dog who inspired the brand. Stylistic typographic lockups explain how the treats are baked in small batches and using only fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Take away these subtle doggy cues, and the result resembles something you might pick up for yourself in a deli or food hall.

Springetts Brand Design Consultants: Rascally Liquor

Brand: Rascally Liquor

Title(s): Rascally Liquor

Agency: Springetts Brand Design Consultants, London, UK

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

Creative Director: Sue Bicknell

Designer: Sue Bicknell, Sam Stringer

Illustrator: Peter O’Connor

Published: May 2015

Short rationale (optional): To create a brand and look for two expressions of a new make spirit (NMS) from Annandale Distillery - Rascally Liquor. NMS is the young spirit, which, after maturation, becomes Scottish whisky so our task was to create a desirable, distinctive and determined brand - not just an inferior rough precursor to single malt Scotch whisky.

The NMS product is immature and unsophisticated. Its character is outgoing, adventurous and a bit of a rogue, so the idea of “releasing the rascal within” was developed. The consumer lets out the rascal from the bottle and from within themselves when they taste the product.

Our chosen name - Rascally Liquor - clearly reflects the nature of the product, and alludes to a comment made by the poet, Robert Burns, who has strong links with Annandale, about Lowland Scotch whisky.

The character Tam o’ Shanter, from the Burns poem, inspires the pack imagery. The design uses the bridge that he has to cross to create the branding and the double L forms the bridge’s keystone.

The shape of Tam riding his horse gives a distinctive icon for the brand that can be adapted to convey the different character of the products. The idea of releasing the rascal within is brought to life by the silhouette of Tam riding Maggie casting a shadow. This not only shows the shape of the rider and horse it also reveals different aspects of Tam o’ Shanter and the character of the two types of raw spirit - the rascal inside.

Music Art Director: Philippe Mineur

Coordination: Thomas Jacquet

Music Rights: Marie Roche, Barthélemy Ponsot

Published: June 2015

Short Rationale (optional): Accessibility in general – and especially at the cinema – is often regarded as merely a technical and practical issue. Yet, for some categories of disabled people, the technicality of accessibility is not an appropriate or adequate response, it is a human response that is needed, and a welcoming one is of utmost importance.

Ciné-ma difference has devised a plan adapted for film sessions, open to all (people with and without disability), for an audience who is usually excluded from it. The Ciné-ma difference network is now present in 30 cities in France and 1 in Belgium and is approaching its 1000th projection.

The purpose of this movie is to highlight this exclusion and the need to share cinema and other cultural activities so that, eventually, Ciné-ma difference will no longer be necessary!
