Two boys build a mysterious contraption out of bicycle parts, a rubber chicken, and a whole lot of duct tape. They run around the neighborhood to find more parts and head home to complete what is looking like a DIY X-wing. When another friend comes into the picture, we find out what they’ve actually built – a homemade 4D experience. With the Star Wars trailer on TV, the boys tinker with their masterpiece so water splashes, confetti explode, and phones vibrate. Catching their breath after the rollercoaster of a show, the two boys hand-sign to their friend, “Did you like it?” and we discover that their friend is deaf. Out of creativity, determination and love, the two more than made up for what their friend can’t hear, making her experience of Star Wars all the more wonderful.

McDonald’s “Himbing”: A Lullabye for Mother’s Day Motherhood is a full-time job, they say. This has never rung more true than in this pandemic era with moms working non-stop as mothers and career women from home. And as Mother’s Day approaches, family members try to find all sorts of ways to please mom. But sometimes the best gift to give her is some well-deserved rest. This is the reminder in Leo Burnett Manila and McDonald’s Philippines’ online film “Himbing” which features mothers in slumber while a poignant arrangement of Brahms’ Lullaby plays. Launched this week on social media, the film is effectively resonating among families, judging by the engagement it has created.

It's 2021. But stories of homophobic and transphobic fathers are still not uncommon in the Philippines. LGBT+ children, who already struggle to find spaces of love and acceptance, can’t even find one in their own homes. And yet as a society, we commemorate both the ideas of fatherhood and pride in the same month. So, between the dates of Fathers’ Day and the 2021 Metro Manila Pride March, Globe released a film celebrating the idea of Proud Fathers’ Day. Featuring dads who learned pride from the courage of their own children. Film advertisement created by Publicis, Philippines for Globe, within the category: Electronics, Technology.

PROBLEM: The illegal downloading of films is a crime that is hurting the Philippine film industry. 99% of Filipinos who have Wifi access in their homes have committed the crime of piracy by downloading, sharing, or streaming files obtained through illegal means. IDEA: Globe Telecom, the leading purveyor of digital entertainment in the country, wanted to help stop it. How? By committing a crime. Globe Telecom launched Piracy vs Piracy. In December 2017, during the Metro Manila Film Festival. Globe started committing the crime of piracy. The Metro Manila Film Festival is the most popular in the country that showcases original Filipino films. As these films were released in cinemas nationwide, the brand released ten blockbuster Filipino films as illegal downloads and streams. But as each of the films played, viewers saw footage they did not expect to see – a member of the film production crew talking to them and telling them how much time and work went into the film they tried to watch illegally. Directors, producers, gaffers, cameramen and more appealed to Filipino viewers to watch the movie the right way - transforming platforms used for piracy into tools versus piracy. Within hours of uploading, people began to watch the films. And within hours, thousands of people were made to realize that they just took part in a crime. A crime that was stealing from an industry. A crime that was stealing from fellow Filipinos. Film advertisement created by Publicis, Philippines for Globe Telecom, within the category: Electronics, Technology.

Background The pandemic has left a lot of Filipinos feeling stuck and unproductive. They also felt a general loss of control.

The brand wanted to help Filipinos take back control and realize the power to reinvent themselves and their worlds was literally in the palm of their hands. Idea Globe launched the Reinvent Your World campaign with a pop group that proved to the world that reinvention can lead to opportunities you never thought possible - BlackPink.

How do you call out a problem like catcalling? Catcalling is a rampant problem in the Philippines with 3 out of 5 Filipinas experiencing a form of sexual harassment at least once in their life. With the lack of widespread public campaigns against catcalling partnered with the absence of a law that criminalizes it, we are faced with a culture of victim blaming and impunity around this very public form of abuse. How can we educate Filipinos that catcalling is a serious issue? How can we move people to take action and help make public spaces become safer places for women? Solution: From its early beginnings as a radio campaign that featured nursery rhymes with anti- catcalling lyrics, Macho Choir has evolved into an integrated campaign featuring a website, stickers, and for social media - lyric videos. Operating on the insight that catcalling is essentially juvenile behavior, we designed the video’s illustrations to look like cartoons to connect to visual cues from one’s childhood. With our target audience being always on the go, using neon colors proved to help make the videos pop and noticeable online or on mobile. In terms of font style, we crafted our own font which was heavily-inspired by jeepney signages. Ultimately, we created a set of lyric videos that are easy to sing along to while serving the public a message worth learning and remembering.
