In Belgium, due to the terrorist attacks that occurred in Brussels and Paris, 7 in 10 people considered reinstalling the death penalty for terrorists. Amnesty International Belgique francophone couldn’t let this happen. For Amnesty the death penalty is never an option, regardless of who is accused. It is cruel, inhuman, degrading and a clear violation of human rights. That’s why on the world day against the death penalty Amnesty launched the 'Death penalty test’. A website where people can condemn different characters to death by just clicking ‘yes’ or ‘no’. The campaign started a heated debate on social media. In the end everyone realized that reinstalling the death penalty is not as evident as they thought it was.

Maes is Belgium’s second most popular beer but also Belgium’s 3rd most common surname.

They just had to sign up on Facebook, choose a pub and share the date – and their beer – with all of their friends. The campaign was created by TBWA and broke quite some records. The Facebook fanpage made it into the 6% most active pages worldwide, 1 out 20 Belgians visited the website and the amount of fans tripled in 1 day.

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.

Besides creating awareness for Special Olympics and the need they have for volunteers there were two goals in this campaign… First, make it clear to people that it is not a “task” or a “burden” to be a volunteer during a Special Olympics but it is an amazing experience. And secondly, prove that a volunteer is also a huge gift for the athletes as well. Because it helps them to participate in their favorite sports. That’s why we teamed up with BONGO (Smartbox Group Company), market leader in Belgium in the gift/experience box market. And turned the act of volunteering into an actual gift box! Ideal for this year’s end of year! The campaign immediately went viral, and got picked up by tons of influencers. After 2 days, even the Belgian Prime Minister got involved and called upon the nation to participate in this campaign.

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.

To make up for a horrible 2020, last year McDonald’s® decided to celebrate Christmas for 30 days. But guess what: 2021 didn’t really deliver either. So that’s why our favorite family restaurant is turning the end of the year into a great big party once again, with “30 Days of Christmas”. Because we all must make the best of it right now. In the film that launches this end-of-year campaign, McDonald’s® and TBWA check back in with Juliette. You know, the cheeky girl who told us all about how she lived through her COVID year? Well, this year she’s looking ahead. Because all the bad news of the last years clearly made her and her two friends think. With their imagination running wild into a gloomy and dark side! We see a meteorite plummeting onto earth and the world being taken over by aliens and robots. Will it actually happen? Let’s wait and see. But what we do know is that this whirling winter disaster film will make us forget our troubles for a moment.
