A promo activation inside the mall can be a boring thing. You cannot rule your chance to win. Not this time... We installed a door that counts the people who open it. And if you want to win - you have to be the 10th person opening the door. In result the mall visitors had to make some efforts to become the 10th person in the queue...

The COVID-19 pandemic hugely affected the cultural life in Bulgaria. When open galleries, cinemas, and theatres can accept only a limited number of visitors. Because of the social distancing, quite a lot of seats remain empty. Master of Art Film Festival is a unique cultural event and the only in Eastern Europe international film festival for Documentaries on Art. On its 6th edition campaign posters, we placed artworks by famous artists, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Velázquez, Botticelli, Modigliani on the empty seats. With that, we showed that despite all dramatic events art could always be near us. In turbulent times art gives another perspective spreading optimism and a sense of belonging. May the art be with you! Integrated advertisement created by Direct Media KRES, Bulgaria for Master of Art Film Festival, within the categories: Movies, Recreation, Leisure.

“Lyutenitsa" is a traditional homemade Bulgarian appetizer paste. That is why all lyuteniza brands are trying to communicate their products as "just LIKE the one granny makes”. But Philicon's lyutenitsa changed the game - we became the first brand produced by grannies. We changed Philicon's HR policies - inviting real home-made lyutenitsa experts to work in Philicon’s factory. As a result of our recruitment campaign 20% of the new employees were in retirement age. So we could communicate the USP we created: Philicon is the first lyutenitsa really made by granny HERSELF.

Advertising sells, we all know that. So tobacco ads on the streets sell cigarettes to everybody out there, including people under 18 y.o. And this must be kind of illegal, right? So here comes a simple question: forbid children to see the ads or remove the ads? Bulgaria is one of the last European countries where outdoor advertising of cigarettes is not forbidden. The campaign aims to make the authorities change the law. Film advertisement created by the Smarts, Bulgaria for Smoke Free Life, within the category: Public Interest, NGO.

The classic show “Ben 10” was premiering with renewed series in Bulgaria in October 2016 and we had to attract new fans (6-15) to the unique action character through a direct approach. So we created a very special one-to-one stunt in a shopping center, where kids could decide if they wanted to become more than heroes, just as Ben. They were surprised by a randomly ringing branded phone and when they picked it up, they received real-time instructions from the Bulgarian Ben, who wanted them to help him. But there was a small hook – kids had to choose only one of two doors at the end of the mall. First door was labelled “Become a hero, win a prize for yourself”, while the second stated “Become a unique hero, donate a prize to children in need”. Results: around 50 kids picked up the phone for 1 day and 40 of them chose to the donate prizes, which were given to SOS Children’s Villages in Sofia, Bulgaria. The viral video was viewed more than 300,000 times from the target, involving them to the unique show and brand’s premise “It’s Hero Time!”.

As part of Finlandia Vodka’s 1000 years of less ordinary wisdom campaign Next-DC created a pop-up exhibition that finds inspiration from an unlikely source. Bulgarian proverbs have already synthesized hundreds of years of wisdom into quaint phrases. But to give them new less ordinary forms, relevant for contemporary audiences, Next-DC and curatorial team Studio Komplekt enlisted the help of Finnish creatives. Six proverbs such as “Not every tree can a whistle make” and “If you pretend to be a sheep, the wolf shall eat you” were reimagined by artists Antti Kalevi, Iina Vuorivirta, Kirsi Enkovaara, Eero Lampinen, Saana ja Olli and Marjukka Takala. The resulting works vary in form and character but are united by the exposition design — six contemporary cabinets of curiosity constructed by Bulgarian stage artist Eva Ventova. Throughout the Renaissance such wooden cupboards known as cabinets of curiosity were filled with encyclopedic collections of extraordinary objects from the natural world. In this case they displayed the artistic interpretations of Bulgarian proverbs. The exhibition took place in an abandoned space in the centre of Sofia and was opened for a week. Visitors could guess which was the wisdom behind every cabinet or could reveal it on an interactive microsite. Five more wisdoms could also be experienced as less ordinary cocktails with Finlandia Vodka.

For Kaufland’s presence at Innovation Explorer, one of Bulgaria’s most significant technological events, we created an EEG-based installation that measured brain activity. We then partnered with a psychologist and developed software that generated personalized profiles based on the measured emotional state and levels of concentration and tranquility of each person that took the test. After the experiment, each participant learnt which food best matched the current state of his or her mind, and was then able to sample that food.

Rivers in Bulgaria are highly polluted and fish species are disappearing rapidly. To raise awareness and get people to sign a European petition for strict water legislation we’ve made a disappearing fishing wobbler. It dissolves in water with only the skeleton of the wobbler remaining, featuring the web address of the campaign site, where visitors are asked to sign the petition. We sent prototypes to fishermen to test it for themselves, driving buzz and initial traffic to the web site.
