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.

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.

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.

When Romania turns 100 years old, Vodafone upgrades history classes for digitally-native children: from boring facts and figures to visual stories. Children scan textbook lessons with their smartphones, thus revealing history as fun, yet accurate comics on their devices. Istori@ includes 35 visual (hi)stories, brought to life by 40 historians, writers, illustrators, art directors and programmers.

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.
