Ocean Outdoor, Adam & Eve DDB, Havas Media Group: The Drum Out of Home Awards 2019 winners
For their work with the charity Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), Ocean Outdoor and Adam & Eve DDB won the Grand Prix, Most effective use of Live Updates and Not For Profit awards.
Using dynamic content uploads and live data, the ‘Call For Help’ campaign demonstrated the number of daily calls answered by CALM and aimed to remove the stigma of reaching out, while encouraging people to visit the charity’s website and learn how they can ensure no call goes unanswered.
"The winner of the Grand Prix used the latest technical capabilities of OOH to help make what is regarded as an invisible illness, visible," said Curtis Weir,
OOH group director, Publicis Media.
"Drawing the public’s attention to exact moments when someone was reaching out for support and when that call is answered, the campaign both highlighted the scale of the issue and helped to also destigmatize the act of seeking support. What better use of digital OOH, data feeds and audio is there than one that instead of telling, actually showed the public that no one needs to suffer in silence, that support is available and that those who able to seek will be heard."
Chairing the judging panel this year was Stacy Gratz, global media director at Bacardi. Havas Media Group won the award for its work with Movimiento Superaçao.
Most of the sidewalks on the streets of São Paulo are not accessible and cause many problems to those with disabilities. Movimiento Superaçao carried out an initiative to bring the problem to light and give it visibility.
The concept was to see sidewalks curbs as walls for people in wheelchairs. With this in mind, artists were invited to paint with graffiti the sidewalks curbs that needed an access ramp.
On choosing her Chair Award, she said: "What I loved about this initiative is that it not only made raised visibility about an important issue – lack of wheelchair accessibility in Sao Paolo – it truly made an impact in the community. Within 2 weeks, some of the graffitied sidewalks were turned into wheelchair accessible ramps."
Taking home the Disruptive and Extra Sensory awards is Space, William Grant & Sons, Vizeum UK, Global, Posterscope, Exterion Media UK Ltd for Hendrick's Gin
Hendrick’s Gin interrupted the mundanity of the commute and helped people ‘Escape the Conventional and Embrace the Delectable’ with a full takeover at King’s Cross station. People stopped, stared and shared as it became a Lonely Planet must-see destination by combining the UK’s longest ever floor wrap (74 metres), 20 rose and cucumber-scented OOH posters and full-wall takeovers.
Judge and group strategy director of Talon Outdoor, Sophie Pemberton said: "The winners produced something exceptional for a space that was considered mundane.
"They brought their brand to life in a beautifully creative way and interrupted the usually bland commute to transport people into a ‘portal to the peculiar’. The judges loved the extrasensory ingredients that made this a truly disruptive campaign."
