On January 30, 2017, at 10:30 PM, under the pretext of poor prison conditions reported by E.U., the government passed an emergency ordinance that would help corrupt politicians escape justice and this decision lead to Romania’s greatest post communism protest. Primus, a small brand of construction materials, focused on responsible honest handymen, wanted to show support for a protest that fights dishonest decisions. The brand made a public commitment to solve the heart of the issue: if the government repeals the ordinance in due time, Primus will donate renovation materials for fixing up Romanian prisons. Each day the government postponed the decision, the brand would help renovate less prisons. Thus, 18 prisons are today renovated with Primus adhesives, grout and concrete screed.

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.

Renault România created Doodle Mats, the first kids’ rugs customized with real maps, that help them learn where to safely cross the street. The project was developed by Publicis Romania and came to life thanks to the auto maker’s constant interest in pedestrian safety, especially that of the most vulnerable ones: kids. Most accidents involving child pedestrians take place close to their homes, when kids are unattended, so the first thing they need to know is where the safe crossings are in their own neighbourhood. But because road safety is a boring, adult topic, a fun approach was needed to appeal to kids. That’s how the agency turned to the popular road rugs, found in kids’ rooms all around 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.
