The international market desired advertising to support the playful personality of the Scrabble brand. The challenge existed in the broad cultural and language differences of the nearly 30 different markets the commercial would run in. To use this hurdle to our advantage, we created an eye catching piece using the imagined objects of a father, mother and son playing each other in an imaginary world of the board game which in the end becomes a real board game. This allowed us to effectively version out a small portion of the commercial for each market and use the game pieces to fit each language.

This year, SS+K is breaking free of the traditional flat holiday card stack by offering 360° virtual reality bobsled rides. A few folds will turn the 2D card into 3D VR glasses for the recipient to take take their seat in the bobsled. After sliding through banked turns, jumps, an upside-down loop and more jumps, the bobsledder will bash through a bank of snow at the finish line where they are greeted by cheering polar creatures that they’ve encountered along the way. The virtual world consists of beautifully simple 3D polygonal assets that make up a colorful winter wonderland. With the cardboard glasses, users will be able to engage a slow-motion effect at any point throughout the experience to get a better look at the playful world around them. At any point throughout the run, snow will fall if the user shakes their head. You can start the experience with any VR headset by going to https://www.ssk.com/holiday/ on your phone. No VR glasses? There’s also a 360-degree YouTube video of the experience. (Hint: If you watch the video on an Android phone, you can explore the world as you would with a VR headset.)

When a tweeting fan pointed out that Narcos is pretty much free Spanish lessons, it inspired an idea that featured Pablo Escobar as the tutor.

Over the last year, we’ve all figured out how to compensate for the loss of so many of the big things. We’ve had Zoom dinner parties, workouts & weddings; juggled homeschooling the kids with conference calls; donned masks to go grocery shopping; gotten takeout instead of sitting in the booth of our favorite restaurant; we’ve worn sweats for almost a year straight. But what we’ve lost are the little things, the nuance. Digital advertisement created by Connelly Partners, United States for UNO Pizzeria & Grill, within the category: Food.
