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.
Mall Plovdiv is trying to provoke its visitors with surprising promotions. We put a red phone at one of the corridors of the mall and our host dialed its number from time to time. Those who dared to pick it up were surprised by an offer - you have 15 minutes to choose something from the mall shops for 50 leva and we shall pay for it. The promotion created a real fuss and people started to wait for the phone to ring. But nobody knew when this will happen...

“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.
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 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!”.

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.

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.
