Women should have their breasts examined regularly. Unfortunately, they tend to neglect this important appointment in their ever so busy lives. Unless relatives or loved ones remind them to do so. The impetus can come from a family member, children, or of course the men in their lives. And everyone knows, men have a very special relationship with breasts. They are inexhaustible about them, they see them everywhere. Film advertisement created by Leo Burnett, Belgium for Think Pink, within the category: Public Interest, NGO.

On average Radio Hosts of popular radio stations ask their listeners to call-in, text or post, 46 times a day. But in Belgium 80% of the people listen to the radio while driving. Instead of coming up with yet another one-off awareness campaign, we came with a more permanent solution: The Safety Jingle. A short (8 second) audio message radio hosts can play right after they ask their listeners to call, text or tweet, to remind everybody not to use their phone behind the wheel. The Safety Jingle was recorded with the voices of actual parents who lost a child in a road traffic accident and sounded like this: “but please, no phone behind the wheel. A request by Parents of Road Victims. Like us.” The music contains the names of the 155 children who died in a traffic accident last year.

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.
1917. Flanders Fields. Battle of Passchendaele. The incessant rain turned the craters and trenches into deadly mud traps where many men and horses drowned. The battle is one of the deadliest battles of WWI, killing more than 500,000 soldiers in just over 3 months. To highlight this collective sacrifice, Visit Flanders unveiled The Mud Soldier: an ephemeral statue sculpted with sand and mud taken from Passchendaele, that slowly dissolved as it was exposed to rain. A reminder of all those soldiers that disappeared by drowning in Flanders Fields. It also reminds us that their memory lives on.

Over the past few weeks, the international media has portrayed Brussels as a war zone that tourists would do well to avoid. This has obviously had dire consequences for the tourist sector, which is currently experiencing a noticeable decline. Who better than the people of Brussels to answer the questions that tourists hesitant about travelling to Brussels might have... In order to foster exchanges between the main players of tourism in Brussels (namely tourists from the following countries: France, the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain) and the people of Brussels, visit.brussels set up telephone boxes in three emblematic locations of the Brussels-Capital Region: at the Mont des Arts, on the Place Flagey and on the Place Communale in Molenbeek. Passers-by will be able to answer questions from foreign tourists. A great opportunity for the people of Brussels to defend their Region.

‘The National Debate’ by Leffe: divided land reunites on a 400km-long terrace. In 2011, Belgium broke the world record for the longest period without a government (541 days). On May 26 2019, Belgium voted again. The result was an even more fragmented political landscape between the Dutch-speaking North of the country and the French-speaking South. So divided that the political leaders from both sides of the country refused to sit together at the same table. As a Belgian beer brand, Leffe wanted to send them a strong signal and avoid to beat that world record again. And nothing like a good Leffe to start a discussion on a topic such as politics. Even more true, around a table on a terrace this summer. 100 days after the elections, and with the politicians going nowhere, Leffe decided to create the longest terrace ever in the hope of uniting the two communities and bringing them back together. The beer brand placed 1000 tables along the 400 km language border, and invited 1000 Flemish and 1000 French speakers to share a beer together. Participants were also asked to discuss 10 political questions set by a Professor and political scientist, and reach (at least) 1000 compromises. In order to set an example to the national politicians that they should come together to create a new government as soon as possible. The objective was to stimulate the debate. And the least we can say is that Leffe and BBDO Belgium have succeeded! This campaign was a real success and generated lots of reactions, participations, PR mentions in major national and international media, such as The Wall Street Journal, Euronews, ZDF… but also an impressive sales rise! Curious to discover the results of this? Watch the case movie below. Cheers! Always welcome. Experiential advertisement created by BBDO, Belgium for Leffe, within the category: Alcoholic Drinks.
