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.

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.

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.

As a UEFA Champions League official partner, Mastercard® traditionally organizes a special screening of the most exciting club final in Europe for selected football fans. But being Mastercard®, we wanted to do something more – to convince the fans – people at different age, with different characters, supporting different football teams – that shouting in support of a team does not need to set them apart. On the contrary – it may even unite them. And we did it. By offering them the chance to win not only a unique football emotion, but to give life to a priceless experience... to help somebody else.

To encourage citizens to participate in Earth Hour 2013, the Municipality of Sofia and WWF invited the skeptical Bulgarians to be part of the global movement by turning off not just their lights, but their names! Most Bulgarian names end with the suffix “OV”, which sounds like OFF. “In the Name of Change” we invited people to change their profile names on facebook, turning the Bulgarian “-ov” into the English “-OFF”. We switched off the names of the city’s biggest streets on location, directing people to special Foursquare locations to check in to pledge their support. Sofia was OFF, changing its Cyrillic F letter into the English one. By changing one letter, a global matter turned into a very local and personal one.

Kapana (The Trap) Fest is a cool event in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. But it’s happening far away from the mall. We had to do something to steal some attention and people. That’s why we created an almost real ATM. The moment you try to use it you receive a sudden offer from Mall Plovdiv.

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!”.

On the first summer day - June 22 - we set up a bunch of kids singing "Jingle Bells" in the heart of the city. The people passing by were surprised, amazed and started to shoot videos and share on Facebook that strange event. With big smiles on their faces. Happy. Cheerful. Because Christmas always opens their hearts... Truth is - most of the donations for children are made during Christmas. But the kids in need cannot wait for Christmas... So how about becoming a regular donor today? Experiential advertisement created by the Smarts, Bulgaria for For Our Children Foundation, within the category: Public Interest, NGO.
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.
