In April 2015, Cartoon Network invited people in Sofia to laugh with them, promoting the new episodes of "The Amazing World of Gumball" as well as the Month of Laughter on CN. An interactive city light was placed in center of the city, equipped with two motions sensors, that activated voice commands. One attracted all passersby to installation and the other prompted them to high five "Gumball" so to hear a joke. More than 200,000 people engaged with the ad and 4200+ interacted with the installation so to just have a laugh.

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.

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.
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.

Women are often verbally abused by men when referring to their driving skills and they are usually considered to be worse drivers by default. While driving, most women are a subject to systematic psychological harassment by their spouses, fathers, brothers, etc., sitting next to them in the car. As a result, many women tend to give up driving at all. We are revealing the face of aggression taking place in the car by showing how men’s innocent navigation might easily become bullying. As part of the campaign "Audi Supports Women Drivers", the spot invites women to sign up for an advanced master class that will improve their driving skills, build their confidence on the road and bring back the trust in their own capabilities.

“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.

Today, any keen professional with a smart device can't really feel away from work and pressure. Even if he is at a liberating place he might still "not be there". His smartphone helps him stay attached to work or to social networks, constantly receiving emails and notifications. Our conclusion: keen professionals have forgotten the true purpose of free time. Amstel created the first ever wardrobes for mobile phones in different venues. People who leave their phones there, get an Amstel key and a free Amstel beer in order to enjoy their time and conversations undistracted. We remind people that drinking beer should stay pure and undiluted with other activities such as work and social activities such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.

Creative Park is a digital platform, which allows anyone to print out and assemble paper models of animals, cars, moving toys, planets, buildings… you name it. To promote it around different countries in Europe, Canon created a 360° stop-motion video, which takes viewers through different paper worlds — a kid’s room full of toys, cars and planes, a jungle full of animals, and outer space. All the elements in the video are taken from Creative Park. The video can be experienced on YouTube, Facebook and on different VR devices. It is created mainly for kids and their parents, in order to present the endless possibilities of the platform to stimulate children’s imagination. It is part of the “Endless Toys” campaign, highlighting Creative Park’s main advantage. In a world where kids get bored with their toys and other forms of entertainment so quickly, it gives parents a chance to give them a new toy to play with every day.
