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.

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.

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!”.

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...

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.

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.
“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.
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.

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.
