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!”.

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.

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.

Phone Fraud remains a big issue in Bulgaria, despite the many successful measures undertaken by the Police. Every fourth person knows someone, who has been а victim to attempted scam. For the last three years, they have been 3044 cases of phone fraud. Elderly people, being the most impressionable part in our society, make the highest number of victims. They are easily convinced into parting with all of their savings following a series of phone calls. The scenario is always different which makes it even harder to prevent. The current urgent situation caused by Covid-19 is a prerequisite for a rise in phone scams. This is the reason why we have launched the A1 Guard - a free app designed to help people protect their parents and children by filtering the calls and thus preventing criminals from reaching them. We truly hope that this campaign will make our home a better and safer place to live in.

Every fourth woman in Bulgaria is a victim of domestic violence. Fear and shame keep many of them from sharing their problems with a friend or seeking professional help. This is why hundreds of women turn to Google for help every day. Using Google tools we found that they search for terms like “is physical violence normal in a relationship”, “my boyfriend is abusive”, “can he insult me and love me at the same time?”. As we all know Google can be a misleading therapist. Organic search results are often ranked by how attractive the result is - not by how helpful it can be. We had to change that. As a brand which has supported women for decades, Avon stepped in to help those in need. This is why on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence we launched a campaign. We created hundreds of Google Search Ads for all the phrases women search for in regard to domestic violence. Digital advertisement created by proof., Bulgaria for Avon, within the category: Beauty.

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.

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.
