Major European cities like Stockholm are being invaded by electrical scooters. They have become immensely popular but are also creating debate and are currently a hot topic in the news. Some hate the scooters, but others love them. The main arguments for the scooters have been hard to argue against. Not only are they a fast and cheap alternative to cars, they are electric (sustainable) and contributes to less congestion on the roads. However fresh research in Sweden show that only 2 in 100 journeys actually replace cars. In almost all other cases the scooter replaces people walking. So, even though its still faster, is not cheaper or more sustainable. And, more importantly it contributes more people moving even less which in turn affects people’s health. And fresh statistics from the WHO shows that less and less people get enough exercise. Reebok – a brand that believes in the power of moving (that sports can change lives) – is now launching Reebok To Go, an alternative to the e-scooters, and the first rentable sneaker service ever. Why ride when you can use your feet? With Reebok-to-go there is no excuse. Reebok-To-Go works in a similar way to rental scooters. The shoes are equipped with a QR-Code you simply scan with your phone. Once you have entered your details, it’s just a case of putting them on and away you go. The soles of the shoes also have a GPS tag, so each pair can be tracked on a map. Reebok-To-Go is a reminder of the importance to get your daily exercise. If we can get more people to rediscover their feet through this initiative, that would be a step, well many steps, in the right direction.

The view on people with disabilities in Sweden is both traditional and conventional. This has resulted in ignorance, beliefs and prejudice among employers. Very few people with disabilities get a job and those who do often get less qualified jobs. Our campaign is aimed at these conventions in order to challenge employers to look for competence, rather than to avoid a person with a disability.

Today many men use their bodies as a canvas. It’s a way to express yourself and show who you are. This can’t be disturbed by all-over body hair or rashes after shaving. Thanks to NIVEA Men the new art of body shaving is fun, hassle-free and without skin irritation. The campaign is based on the fact that 74% of Swedish men regularly or occasionally remove body hair. 42% of Swedish men (age 18-55) have a tattoo. That makes Swedes the most tattooed people in the world. Film advertisement created by FCB, Sweden for Nivea, within the category: Health.

When looking at e-sports, the fastest growing sport in the world, we found that it as a culture attracts mainly young men (10:1 ratio 2018), both playing and following, excluding not only women, but also older people. The elderly, who are also seen as the digital underclass. But gaming really isn’t about physical strength or about who you are or where you’re from. Anyone should be able to take part. So, when every tech brand is looking to promote AR or VR inventions we looked the other way and embodied Lenovos brand tagline “Different is better” in a new shape and form. We created a living proof in that would strengthen Lenovo’s brand in the e-sport community. This by creating a series of Counter Strike Teams consisting of elderly that could infiltrate the gaming community. With our modest budget, they have played against pro kids, made interviews, spoken with politicians, inspired and been copied (seriously great). A digitally overloaded group has connected with the digital underclass. Grandmothers play with grandchildren. The attention in mainstream media has brought understanding to an often misunderstood sport. The Silver Snipers, Grey Gunners and the other teams proves that gaming is for everyone.
