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.

The best way to express emotions is with words. Sadly, thanks to emoji youngsters don’t know how to write anymore. To counter these yellow smiling balls, we invented Emoji Poetry. We translated emoji into something truly emotional: poetry. All poems were collected on our poetry bot on Messenger. Fighting emoji on their own turf: the smartphone.

Special Olympics is an organization that provides sports training and competition for people with intellectual disabilities. They strongly believe in social inclusion through unified sports. To accomplish this, Special Olympics receives funds by private partners. They don’t get any governmental support and don’t work with membership fees. That’s why it’s crucial for them to get new partners and funds. This year Special Olympics decided to attract new sponsors through a direct B2B-campaign. The main objective? Finding new leads and get potential sponsors to commit to a long-term partnership. How do you convince companies to sponsor athletes with an intellectual disability instead of the big sports heroes? By turning the roles upside down: we didn’t just show what they could do for us, but what our special athletes could do for them. And showing them as a good investment. Because they work just as hard as the other athletes and are just as capable of playing the lead in a commercial or a print ad. So, we created ‘#daretosponsor’, in which we dared companies to sponsor a special athlete instead of a famous sports hero. The idea? Copying existing sponsorship campaigns. For example: we put their picture on a can, like our Belgium Red Devils on a can of Coca Cola. We made them shave as if for a Gillette commercial. And put their face on a billboard holding a product. The idea was translated in a fully integrated approach. First of all, we’ve launched an online film, daring our primary prospects to sponsor. On the same day, we placed a billboard in front of P&G’s headquarters (Gillette), featuring a special athlete shaving himself. Moreover, we’ve also sent e-mails and a follow up direct mail containing a can featuring a special athlete. We bought online banners on marketing websites and Instagram ads, and pushed our content on LinkedIn, challenging brands to #daretosponsor. Influencer athletes supported the campaign on social media, encouraging companies to accept the challenge. Multiple companies were charmed by the challenges, some even responding on social with a video featuring the CEO who accepted the challenge. After each new sponsor, a new campaign boost followed, highlighting the result of that brand’s new campaign.

In Europe, every two minutes a child is reported missing. Some of them remain missing for years. Eventually we forget their faces. Child Focus, the Belgian Center for Missing Children, never stops helping the families in their search and getting others involved. To spread hope for all missing children, we designed and created Coins of Hope. One million 2 euro coins with the face of a missing child: Liam Vanden Branden, who has been missing for 20 years, but whose family has never lost hope. On International Missing Children's Day, we brought the Coins of Hope into circulation. Through Coins of Hope, we spread hope for every missing child, from hand to hand. It's a new and permanent medium with infinite impressions across the Eurozone. Direct advertisement created by These Days, Belgium for Child Focus, within the category: Public Interest, NGO.

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.

Komen Eten is the Flemish version of Come Dine With Me, a format that is broadcast throughout the world. Everyone knows that at the end of the evening contestants give points in the back of the car that drives them home. We used this situation to create a surprising online commercial for the BIVV, the Belgian Institute for Road Safety. We launched the movie with the title “The first zero in Komen Eten” and had it posted on the YouTube channel of Vier, the network that broadcasts the programme. This way the surprise was complete for unsuspecting viewers. Now discover it for yourself. All the national media, online and offline, picked up the movie immediately. Facebook and Twitter joined in. Even the federal police tweeted the video. After two days it was still the top video on Twitter and YouTube.

With Christmas only a few days away, Coca-Cola and Duval Guillaume Modem have created a special outdoor billboard together with Clear Channel. As the brand that stands for “Open Happiness”, Coca-Cola believes there’s no better time to open happiness than with Christmas. But to open happiness… you need to wrap it first. That’s why we created a billboard made entirely of wrapping paper, allowing people passing by to tear off a piece of paper to wrap their presents. The iconic line “open happiness” is printed on this specially crafted wrapping paper, because nothing says it more like a present waiting to be opened. The billboards were installed in the shopping malls of Belgium’s largest cities right before Christmas.
