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.

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.

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.

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.

“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.

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...

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.
