Gender-based violence is one of the biggest issues in Turkey for years. According to research, 440 women were killed in 2018, and one out of every 5 women remains a victim of domestic violence. However, only a specific group of NGOs who work against femicide raise their voices for this tragic reality. This year, on 8th of March - International Women's Day, Turkish Alzheimer Association and TBWA Istanbul, collaborated for a disruptive campaign on violence against women and attracted a great deal of attention to the problem. In the one-minute long internet film, real Alzheimer patients are interviewed and they make a call for everyone to remember the victims of femicide.

What would make you smile in a life where you wake up exactly at the same time, drive through the same roads, arrive at the same place and do the same things every day over and over again? A good sleep? Not enough. The morning coffee? To some extent. The company car? How so? Like this. Your alarm goes off. You wake up. It’s still dark outside. You have to go to work. You get up from bed. You look out from the window and ta-da! There it is. The company car. It’s waiting for you, “let’s roll together!” it says. At that moment, “El Bimbo” starts to play in your head. The campaign for the fleet leasing company, Hedef Filo consists of four TVCs. It shows us the misery of waking up early and going to work, the stress of a job interview, the tiredness from working all day, and the tension that arises from being stranded on the road while going to a very important meeting. And in these stressful moments, seeing the company car on a platform revolving in all its beauty with “El Bimbo” playing in the head, it lightens the mood.

Laughing Switch is a donation campaign which created its own medium to reach millions. Through out the world, comedy shows rely on the same laughter sound effects as a hint to underline the jokes. Instead of these familiar laughter sounds, Turkey's most popular radio shows used our very own sound effects: Laughter sounds belong to those children diagnosed with leukemia. The outcome of this simple switch has been remarkable. Nation wide audience was invited to laugh along children with leukemia and donate to LÖSEV by sending a simple Smiley Emoji to SMS line. The never been used "switch" became the most successful campaign for LÖSEV in recent years as donation rates rose more than %800. The public responded to the leukemia reality positively with conversation rates in social media raised more than %450. As influencers and celebrities taking a stand and talking about leukemia, our voice reached to millions through TV and newspapers. With almost no budget we had succeeded in creating a campaign and with a never been used switch we laughed big and wide, so big that no mask could hide.

Turkey is on the brink of serious water shortage, and the brand has launched a huge campaign calling everyone to start saving for future generations. One of the most evident signs of this shortage is the water levels in the lakes, where water levels have seriously dropped. So we have studied the topography of 5 lakes (Seyfe, Suğla, Ilgın, Karataş and Burdur Lakes) and turned their shapes into glasses, each glass representing a lake. The amount of water they hold is also the percentage of the water remaining in those lakes. So, if there’s only 64% of water left in Burdur lake, the glass can also hold that percentage of water. The glasses were first launched on the 22nd March, World Water Day, which also happens to be the date of the biggest national economic forum; Uludağ Economical Forum. All the glasses at the event were swapped with our glasses. Here we reached 2.200 people the major opinion leaders of the country: Members of the government, top academicians, company CEO’s and all the news channels. We hacked the event. As they tried to drink water out of a shallow glass, they could see our website. Direct advertisement created by Havas, Turkey for Finish, within the category: House, Garden.

Imagine Amadeus Mozart asking you to come up with the most creative way to tell his story to the people. What would you do? We created the world’s first playable and listenable font for Peter Shaffer’s famous play “Amadeus” to the Turkish audience. We put this font at the heart of our communication campaign to introduce Peter Shaffer’s famous play “Amadeus” to the Turkish audience. First, we created staff and put the Amadeus line in the middle of the four lines used as a guide to design the font. Then, we placed letters instead of notes. We designed 14 different numbers and letters of the alphabet that match the notes and octaves on the staff. We created a font family of 574 characters for the alphabet consisting of 32 letters and 9 numbers. Putting the Amadeus font at the center of our campaign, our messages and headlines uniquely merged with Mozart’s music. While people read each word, they were also able to listen to the matched note. Even the lost letters that Amadeus wrote 250 years ago turned into a unique piece with his notes. A pianist played Amadeus’s letters.
