The #HelpingTrueHeroes initiative was kick-started by WATConsult in partnership with TheBetterIndia (India’s no.1 Positive News Portal) on behalf of Merck’s Neurobion Forte. The campaign saluted the undying spirit of the four unsung heroes from across India and felicitated them as India’s True Heroes. Many people in India are breaking societal grounds and fighting their personal battles of pain every day to ensure they can provide the best not only to their family, but also to the society. It is with this belief that we urged India to identify and help similar inspirational stories with the return of its annual initiative #HelpingTrueHeroes. In the video series, the selfless and extra ordinary efforts of these four common people were showcased in association with TheBetterIndia. This was followed by a grand event where in True Heroes were felicitated by dignitaries and the same was showcased through Facebook Live on 17th July 2017 at 5pm IST.

By and large, Indians are a God-fearing and superstitious lot. Zara, a popular Tapas Bar in Chennai, in association with Chennai Traffic Police decided to address drunken driving (responsible for 70% of road fatalities in India), by leveraging this mindset. Yama, the God of Death from Hindu mythology was used to drive home the message, quietly arriving in the patron's car when the valet brought it back. Seeing the God of Death as a wake-up call, most patrons who experienced the live stunt opted to use the drivers-for-hire service.

On the International Day of Children's Rights on November 20th, Child Protection Switzerland launched the PRIVACY PLAYGROUND to draw attention to the dangers of “sharenting” (“to share” / “parenting”). Stickers with cute motifs are attached to slides, climbing frames and swings. These contain a QR code that triggers push notifications on the smartphone as soon as the parents take a picture of their child. As cute or funny as children’s photos are, posting them can be dangerous. Once published, it's easy to lose control of it. It can quickly happen that a playground snapshot from Instagram ends up on pedo-criminal darknet platforms - or it only triggers cyberbullying years later. There is only one rule when you think about sharing pictures of children on the web: #SharingIsNotCaring. Always. Not just on Children's Rights Day.

Following up on the successful launch of Volkswagen BlueMotion Technologies via the innovative Fun Theory platform, Volkswagen and DDB created the Fun Theory Award, a competition which ultimately saw 699 amazing entries from more than 35 countries. The winner was the Speed Camera Lottery, created and submitted by San Francisco's Kevin Richardson, a games producer for NickelodeonKids whose idea was based around rewarding those who obeyed the speed limit with the money raised through fining those lead foot drivers who exceed it. In October 2010, the idea became reality and was tested in Stockholm, in collaboration with NTF (The Swedish road transport authority). Speed Camera Lottery worked on many levels: the average speed was reduced by 22%. Media ranging from ABC to the BBC Worldwide Service covered the campaign, the competition and the winning idea. Even better Speed Camera Lottery helped Volkswagen continue to boost share and sales in Sweden. From January to June 2010 Volkswagen market share increased almost 4% to 12.9% while sales grew by 5.8% compared to an increase of 3.9% for the overall market compared to the first half of 2009. In the eco car segment alone, Volkswagen saw market share leap from about 8% to nearly 15% proving another theory at DDB: Creating ideas that people want to play with, participate in and pass along is good for business.
