The Telekom Storytime app enables parents working abroad to tell their children bedtime stories remotely, with the technology of the app meaning parents don’t just tell the story, they become part of it. It’s a shocking fact that thousands of Romanian children are left in the care of relatives when their parents are forced by financial circumstances to seek work abroad.

Christmas is about magic and larger-than-life stories. In this case a weird story serves as a white lie on christmas eve. A lumberjack who lives in the misty mountains takes center stage in a father’s phantasy. Alone with nature he grows his own kind of trees. In his tree nursery the trees are all slanted. Even his small hut is full of objects and furniture which is bent in the same way. Nevertheless his son hesitates to buy into the story his dad came up with. It rather seems to be a nice white lie to excuse his failure. Film advertisement created by Publicis, Romania for Carrefour, within the categories: Food, Retail Services.

In Romania, a Hunting Law allowing, among others, the slaughter of song birds, was close to silently pass through. Many foreign hunters would come to Romania to shoot larks and sell them to European restaurants. Lark tongues are a 5 star dish. The lark is a symbol of Romanian music, many of our composers being inspired by this small, yet fascinating bird. People were not aware of these changes, so we wanted to create a public debate around the subject. The campaign generated huge PR and free media. Artists joined our campaign and donated parts of their songs for the cause. Digital advertisement created by Jazz, Romania for Salveaza Ciocarlia, within the category: Public Interest, NGO.

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.

In Romania, The Long Night of Museums can seem really long because of endless lines, crowds and fatigue. How could Samsung, the supporter of #DoWhatYouCant, improve this experience? We created a new standard for art enthusiasts: Samsung Art Portals. We took over various galleries across town and set up connecting portals. Characters from paintings came to life and held Galaxy S10 phones that connected the galleries, allowing visitors to see the exhibits through each other’s eyes. Whenever someone used the portal in a museum, they became a remote museum guide allowing the other person to see a live stream remotely as accurately as if they were present where it is recorded. The experience was enabled by the Galaxy S10’s revolutionary camera that tweaks display settings in real time.

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.
