The United Nations have announced seizures of illegally sold pangolins have risen from 14,000 per year in 2014 to 142,000 in 2018, but also estimates that the number of pangolins actually killed from illegal trade is in the millions, making pangolins the most illegally trafficked mammal in the world. In July 2020, China upgraded the protection level of pangolin to national level Class I. However, the illegal trade of pangolin is still rampant. Seeing the need for public awareness and action to help the pangolins fight for their survival, dentsu mcgarrybowen China created a unique anthem and music video in hopes to gain the support from the Gen-Z audience. Instead of a traditional approach, the creative team used a new approach by manifesting the pangolins’ frustrations into an anthem and music video featuring Angry Pango, an exaggeratedly angry pangolin. The music video uses mixed visual languages to dramatise Angry Pango’s suffering and is soundtracked with melodic heavy metal and enraged lyrics – describing how humans hunt and tear them apart, to being accused of COVID-19, and even advising humans to live better lifestyles! Through this fantastical and raw music video, people are able to understand the severity of the situation for the pangolins and be motivated to take action by donating or simply sharing the music video.

For the PerrierXWild limited edition designed by artist Juan Travieso, Perrier transformed Shanghai's South Huangpi Road Metro station into a jungle with STDecaux. The pillars were decorated as giant trees with artificial treetops. When passengers walked by, the trees would light up gradually from the roots, and passengers would hear the lion roar. In addition, the limited edition, comprised of 6 bottles and 5 lifestyle objects, was displayed in the station.

Xintiandi Shanghai is an affluent dining and entertainment district of Shanghai, China. Every quarter, they would have campaign themes to promote and showcase their restaurants and boutiques. This time, the theme was ‘Food Sustainability’ and we were tasked to develop an awareness campaign. We went deeper and got to the core of the issue: Food Waste. It was bigger than we think, with a study showing that restaurants dispose of up to 84% of unused ingredients, and all that ends up as food waste. Also in China, consumers are particular about food quality and that leads to a large amount being unused and eventually discarded by restaurants. Our idea was to create a product that would demonstrate recycling and most importantly, remind consumers on food sustainability. We collaborated with Xintiandi Shanghai’s restaurants and developed The Re_PIZZA project, a gastronomic experience that turned potential food waste into great tastes. We gathered unused ingredients like tofu, noodles, ice-cream, fruits, candies and more to create over 200 types of Re_PIZZAs. There were no two Re_PIZZA alike. Every Re_PIZZA had its own name and distinct flavor. From Very Berry Pizza to Cookies & Cream Pizza, we gave revelers a tasty education about food waste at Xintiandi Shanghai’s Christmas fair. Every night offered new tastes and every Re_PIZZA made a difference, one slice at a time. Over a few days, we reminded 360 million people (via social impressions) and reused 60 kgs of unused. At the event, we fed 1,500 people, and donated the profits to The Global Food Network to feed over 15,000 children. But most importantly, we had managed to reduce food waste from 84% to 43%. The Re_PIZZA project was a sustainable solution that helped reduce the problem and directly educated people on the issue.

Final Frontier and Taiko Studios produced Airbnb China’s Chinese New Year film, a touching animation demonstrating how the brand’s properties can become homes away from home at a time of year where young Chinese are finding it increasingly difficult to return to their family hometowns. Spring Festival is the most important date on the calendar in China, when families separated by work and life necessities reunite, traditionally in the town where the children grew up. Titled “Fu”, the three-and-a-half minute 3D animation tells the story of Jia Jia, a young nurse whose pursuit of her career dreams in the big city prevent her from returning to her hometown for Chinese New year, much to the disappointment of herself and her parents. Fortunately, Airbnb’s platform is on-hand to enable a unique solution. At the core of the film is the age old Chinese New year tradition of hanging a ‘Fú’ (meaning ‘blessing’) banner upside down, symbolizing "good luck comes", tying in to the overall campaign idea of turning traditional concepts on their head; in this case, 'home' coming to Jia Jia rather than the other way around.
