Transhumance is the seasonal movement where shepherds transfer their livestock from the highest mountains to plaines. During their 30 days trip, shepherds walk hundreds of kilometers by foot. It’s an Eastern European tradition that dates back thousands of years, and even though it’s happening less and less all around the world, one Romanian shepherd still makes the journey twice every year. Ghiță, the social shepherd who decided to challenge the world by inviting everyone to join him during the transhumance journey.

Apa Nova, the leading water management company in Romania, announces the launch of a fresh and innovative campaign meant to capture people’s attention regarding the correct use of the sewage system. ‘’Happy ending stories’’ is the concept by which Apa Nova brings to Bucharest’s attention that the sewage system is not a rubbish bin. The forbidden waste thrown in the toilet or in the drain affects both the sewer system and the environment. The campaign was developed by Porter Novelli, a communication agency based in Bucharest, Romania. The campaign was born out of the necessity for a more responsible sewage use: one without forbidden waste disposal such as fats, personal hygiene items, hair, detergents, food scraps and various other items that affect the sewer and the environment in the long run. ‘’Change your ways before your loved one changes their mind about you.’’ is the tagline that encourages the people of Bucharest to become better and more responsible. The campaign is centered around three types of waste which are frequently thrown in the sewer: hair, oil and condoms. These common-use items acquire symbolic value and become a behavioral catalyst for change.

We launched a massive fundraising campaign to collect 100,000 texts for 2 euro/each from people so we can build a flat for parents with children with cancer that are treated in Bucharest. So far, the campaign is a huge success and has rallied tens of thousands of people to support it. One of the most important aspects of the campaign is that we set up a chair and a hospital bed in downtown Bucharest and we are asking people to sit on that chair until we reach our goal of 100,000 sent texts. Hundreds of people, including celebrities, journalists, TV stars have taken a sit.o far, in just a couple of days 40,000 texts have been sent, so we still have a long way: 60,000 texts. For this we are kindly asking for your help to help us tell our story to the world.

The existence of filter bubbles and echo chambers on social media platforms presents a wide variety of challenges to brands and people interested in reaching a wide audience across political allegiances and cultural divisions. The nature of the web is to reinforce what we already know and like. Algorithms are designed to show us content that aligns with our own predispositions, and people’s historical behavior online tends to prevent them from seeing or accessing material from opposing viewpoints and perspectives. This leads to customized internet experiences for everyone that rarely stray into the unexpected. Telekom Romania wanted to turn this tendency on its head. As a brand built on sharing content, it worked with Leo Burnett Bucharest to devise an attention-getting stunt that would open up young people’s eyes to communities and perspectives far from their ordinary inclinations. The brand launched Vloggers’ Swap. Vloggers’ Swap was built on a deep analysis of the data of different Vlog channels on Youtube. LB/Bucharest identified Vlog channels whose audiences did not overlap at all. These groups of young viewers had very little in common, and their viewing habits led them to inhabit very rigid filter bubbles. For one day, Telekom Romania initiated a “swap” of these Vlogs with their polar opposite vlogger, helping to introduce each specific audience to a perspective and vlogger far out of their normal comfort zone. This stunt drew massive interest in Romania, and helped Vlog channels to broaden their appeal to audiences they normally wouldn’t reach. Launched to coincide with Telekom Romania’s offer of unlimited video, this work serves up a fantastic example of how brands are helping people to build wider audiences in spite of the algorithms that would limit their reach and appeal. By helping millennials to broaden their viewing diet, Telekom Romania is cultivating a younger audience of viewers who cannot be restricted by the constraints of filter bubbles or echo chambers. As Telekom Romania has championed for years, “life is for sharing.” Digital advertisement created by Leo Burnett, Romania for Telekom Romania, within the category: Electronics, Technology.

Without a law regulating headphone use in Romania, traffic accidents related to headphone use have tripled in the last 6 years. Radio 21, Romanian hit radio station, changed its content to promote a new behavior: use just one headphone so you can hear the traffic around you. Working with famous Romanian artist Claudia Pavel, the radio station launched the Go Mono Anthem, the first song that has different genres in each headphone: rock if you use the left headphone and acoustic if you listen to it in the right headphone.

Black suit, gloves, oversized sunglasses. Does this outfit ring any bell? In the world of fashion, the most popular icons deliberately choose to wear the same clothes everyday and make it a personal trademark. How important is it to get out of your comfort zone and try new styles, then? To find out the answer, Baneasa Shopping City and Geometry Global Bucharest launched "The fashion experiment”. 2 characters, 30 days, more than 80 different outfits and 742 photos in order to build parallel Instagram accounts. Same characters, same locations, but different outfits, in order to answer the same old question: shall you keep a constant style or try something new every day? For a month, people decided what they like more, without knowing they are involved in a fashion experiment that will make the headlines for the brand's ATL Winter Sales campaign. The results? People who experiment with more outfits have twice the number of followers on Instagram and 55% more likes than those who display a constant fashion style.

SOCIAL ME is an online series about a Romanian character inspired by the authentic online behaviors we all have in common: staging perfect moments, filters over filters, carefully-scripted captions and the addiction to the instant gratification that the flood of “likes” provides. The series follows a fictional influencer and her struggles to reach the daily quota of posts and likes. To achieve these goals, she looks at the people in her life purely as a source of content. Her boyfriend = a human selfie stick; her childhood friend = a pretext for an emotional caption; her dog = the best like magnet she could ever find.
