On March 22nd, Belgium was attacked by terrorists. A month later, the impact on Brussels’ economy was enormous. Certainly for the restaurants who saw their business go down tremendously. (bankruptcy rate increased by 1500%). Together with ‘De Tijd ‘and ‘L’Echo’, Belgians national business newspapers, we decided not to sit back and wait, but to do something: we launched #DiningforBrussels.

We conducted an undercover experiment by attaching off-the-shelf sports performance measuring gadgets to a Cambodian woman who works in a sports garment factory.

The new campaign by Brussels Mobility, intended for young people aged 18-30, diverts the codes of sports betting with biting humour as a reminder that, no matter what mode of transport used, driving under the influence (of drugs and alcohol) kills. Summer is coming, putting an end to months of lockdown; restaurants and outdoor terraces are welcoming us back to celebrate meeting up again and one month of the Euro Soccer Championship… The time has come to remind people that taking to the road after drinking alcohol or smoking a joint is anything but banal, whether you travel home by car, bike or scooter! Further to its “Barlos" campaign in 2020, Brussels Mobility is hitting hard. The new campaign, starring the Belgian actor Guy Staumont (Dikkenek), displays resolutely biting humour and surfs on the wave of sports betting, with a message: "Beat the odds". “This campaign is a throwback to the cult character from the film Dikkenek", explains Nicolas Gaspart, copywriter for mortierbrigade, the agency that designed the campaign with VO. Baudouin tells us how he made a fortune through betting... on future road traffic accidents among young people who get behind the wheel under the influence. Armed with statistics, he speaks directly to viewers and shares his tips and tricks “to make big money!” Film advertisement created by Mortierbrigade, Belgium for Brussels Mobility, within the category: Public Interest, NGO.

BMW Belux is a loyal partner of the Red Devils, Belgium’s national football team and current leader in the FIFA world ranking. For this summer’s big event, TBWA created a film for BMW with an unexpected twist. One in which the football players aren’t the main stars. As an advocate of pure driving pleasure, BMW doesn’t sponsor the players, but the empty Belgian roads. Film advertisement created by TBWA, Belgium for BMW, within the category: Automotive.

Axe is known for its innovation and creativity within online and televised advertising, two media extremely powerful on the target, but above all two very complementary media. Even though many advertisers have connected these two dots, not much has been realized so far in this area. For the first time, the penetration of mobile internet on the younger male target in Belgium reaches relevant numbers. Shazam is the application they use and like the most. Idea: Using mobile as the connector between those two powerful media. Using Shazam injecting excitement and extra coolness into the campaign. A first in Europe.

IKEA’s mission is to get Belgians to fully enjoy their homes, their time and their lives. The living room plays an essential role in this. The new IKEA TV spot shows a couple of older figure skaters once again enjoying ‘skating’ and reliving their passion. They do this by first moving the chairs, sofas and tables aside to create space and then slide around on their socks. This romantic scene takes them back to their glory days. The living room is totally transformed into a real ballroom and easily becomes the ideal setting to express their emotions and have fun.

A commercial that acts as a brake. This is the best way to describe the new campaign by mortierbrigade on behalf of Kia. You see, the Kia Niro has an autonomous emergency brake assist system and will therefore always stop on time in case of emergencies. To demonstrate this innovative technology, mortierbrigade has come up with the idea of creating a commercial that helps you do just that on your TV: stop in time. The campaign is based on the over-forwarding phenomenon that occurs during binge watching, and offers a clever solution to it. This television commercial is at the end of a commercial break and warns you that it's about to finish and your show is about to resume. With this campaign, mortierbrigade proves that advertising agencies can use creative solutions to sidestep the obstacles that they’re faced with.

What is the use of electric driving if you don't charge your car with green energy? That's the idea behind Volts by Volvo, a green energy contract for your house by Volvo. It shows Volvo’s broader view on driving electrified with a shift from car alone to car and house. Volts by Volvo is an idea of FamousGrey, and this new product has been launched last Friday during the Brussels Motor show. It’s backed up by a national survey, showing that 56% of Belgian drivers are not aware of the origin of their electricity.
