‘The National Debate’ by Leffe: divided land reunites on a 400km-long terrace. In 2011, Belgium broke the world record for the longest period without a government (541 days). On May 26 2019, Belgium voted again. The result was an even more fragmented political landscape between the Dutch-speaking North of the country and the French-speaking South. So divided that the political leaders from both sides of the country refused to sit together at the same table. As a Belgian beer brand, Leffe wanted to send them a strong signal and avoid to beat that world record again. And nothing like a good Leffe to start a discussion on a topic such as politics. Even more true, around a table on a terrace this summer. 100 days after the elections, and with the politicians going nowhere, Leffe decided to create the longest terrace ever in the hope of uniting the two communities and bringing them back together. The beer brand placed 1000 tables along the 400 km language border, and invited 1000 Flemish and 1000 French speakers to share a beer together. Participants were also asked to discuss 10 political questions set by a Professor and political scientist, and reach (at least) 1000 compromises. In order to set an example to the national politicians that they should come together to create a new government as soon as possible. The objective was to stimulate the debate. And the least we can say is that Leffe and BBDO Belgium have succeeded! This campaign was a real success and generated lots of reactions, participations, PR mentions in major national and international media, such as The Wall Street Journal, Euronews, ZDF… but also an impressive sales rise! Curious to discover the results of this? Watch the case movie below. Cheers! Always welcome. Experiential advertisement created by BBDO, Belgium for Leffe, within the category: Alcoholic Drinks.

Leo Burnett Lisbon created the “The exhibition that shouldn’t exist” campaign for Control Arms - a worldwide coalition fighting to approve the Arms Trade Treaty later this month. The exhibition is a collection of paintings designed to look like abstract artworks in a first sight. But then, when people read their placards, they realize they’re actually in front of gunshots stories. Through a QR code on each placard, people can see the ballistics test that simulated the related story on the painting. “The Exhibition that shouldn’t exist” portrays the reality of the irresponsible arms trade around the world, turning visible a violent truth that many don’t see. The paintings will be displayed in the Electricity Museum in Lisbon and then sent to Control Arms in NY. They will show them in their opening press briefing, held at the UN Secretariat. The exhibition also has an online version, where people can have the same experience with the paintings and their videos.

Every three seconds the world loses a child. Again, this year many children will not see their fifth birthday. The reasons for this tragedy are diverse; hunger, malnutrition, dirty water or the absence of vaccine protection. Every single one of these problems can weaken the immune system so much that avoidable diseases lead to life-threatening danger.

A shocking advertising campaign for the non-profit First Call begs the question, “Is addiction a disease?” by examining what would happen if the families of cancer and Parkinson’s patients treated them the same way many respond to those struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. Created by VML and Sundance Award-winning director Chusy, the spots bring to life to key findings published in “Facing Addiction, The Surgeon General’s Report on Alcohol, Drugs, and Health,” released last November by the U.S. Surgeon General’s office. Each spot concludes by directing viewers to StopTheShame.info, where they can learn more about the medical realities of substance use disorder and connect with resources to help those seeking treatment.

The Internet Remembers is a campaign developed to encourage young Australian drinkers to adopt a responsible attitude towards alcohol. The campaign takes the form of an interactive AR gallery revealing the most “unsophisticated” moments from the internet coming back to life. The campaign launches via a public art exhibition consisting of five stone plinths touring multiple nightlife destinations, with each plinth containing a surprising augmented reality experience. Once the digital experience is activated, a bronze statue depicting an embarrassing drunken situation appears on the mobile screen, with a voiceover narrating the story - much like those that feature in art galleries across the globe. The campaign serves as a reminder to young drinkers that once their drunken antics are uploaded online they are there for ever. For their hangover may only last a day but their reputation could be ruined for ever. Integrated advertisement created by BBDO, Australia for DrinkWise, within the category: Public Interest, NGO.

Utility rates for heating and energy keep growing. Loosing warmth because of windows that are unadjusted to cold Russian winters, people waste money. REHAU windows save warmth and considerably save expenses for heating. Heating + enonomy = heatonomy. In our advertisement we decided to demonstrate how people waste money, literally throwing it out of their low-quality windows. In several big Russian cities every day during a week we were throwing real money out of the window of a billboard. There were stickers on the bank notes with stated amount of losses over a season. The promotion generated public excitement. More than 200 media (including the most popular TV channels, broadcasting stations, newspapers and web-sites) highlighted the event for free. On throwing 240 000 rubles (7000 $) we got free media for the amount that hundreds times exceeded expenditures for the audience over 40 million of Russians. The idea of heatonomy has spread all over the country. Ambient advertisement created by Voskhod, Russia for Rehau, within the category: House, Garden.
