To promote the 4th season premiere of Game of Thrones on premium SKY TV cable channel SoHo, we wanted to demonstrate we were just as fanatical about good programming as the fans who watched it. So we gave them the one thing they all wanted - the chance to bring down King Joffrey. We erected a 7m statue of the King in NZ’s largest public square, then invited fans worldwide to bring him down via a massive winch that was activated every time the hashtag #bringdowntheking was used on Twitter. The stunt immediately trended on Twitter, and stayed trending the entire duration of the campaign. Thousands of photos and videos were shared online by those who came to see the statue, and our own daily videos garnered hundreds of thousands of views. By the 5th day the winch had the statue at breaking point. Thousands of fans gathered for hours leading up to the moment, tweeting and watching, while those overseas could watch the whole thing via our live streaming website. Finally, at around 6pm on the night of the premiere, after 875,000 direct interactions with our campaign and a global reach of 66 million people, the statue was brought down. The campaign was the largest live stream in Australasian history, and of all conversations about Game of Thrones worldwide on the night of the premiere, one in twenty was about #bringdowntheking, and SKY TV.

Who's never turned to a quick tutorial online to learn how to make a dish or watched, hypnotized, as a sped-up step-by-step turns eggs, flour, and sugar into a magnificent cake? These express recipes, social-media darlings, always seem to go right. But in practice, that's not always the case. And what if things go wrong? Taking this as its jumping-off point, iFood, in a campaign created by AlmapBBDO, presents parodies of online recipes, suggesting to the audience that when things don't turn out perfectly, they can always fall back on the countless possibilities and ease of the leading platform for online food delivery in Brazil. The ads poke fun at the audience with the tagline: "Didn't work? Order it from iFood." Film advertisement created by BBDO, Brazil for iFood, within the category: Food.

In 2006 “Google” became a verb and it was more than evident that internet had become an intrinsic part of our lives. While search engines are flooded with a billion mundane questions, every now and then, things can escalate quite quickly. Roughly 40,000 people search for ways to commit suicide every minute. The automated helpline number that currently pops up has a conversion rate of merely 2.8%. We found that at this vulnerable moment, what people long for, is immediate redressal. Google decided to address this situation with the help of artificial intelligence, chat bots, and voice assistants Idea: Google’s AI based therapist As soon as anyone searches online for ways to commit suicide, an automated chatbot by the name of Zoey (Greek for life) pops up. Thus, eliminating that one step of calling a helpline, which might be the key to saving a life. It offers an understanding, empathic and non-judgmental ear.

Advertising agency Humanaut is calling out extreme health and fitness gurus with “Feel the Blend,” a new television marketing campaign for NutriBullet, led by the company’s commitment to making nutrition convenient and accessible to everyone. Launched in the U.S. and Canada across broadcast and digital, the campaign sets into motion NutriBullet’s transition from infomercial product to lifestyle brand that people can rely on to simplify nutrition. At a confounding time when so many “experts” are touting exotic potions and unrealistic rituals, the campaign seeks to bring wellness back to the basics, while resonating with today’s busy consumer base looking for simple, realistic solutions. Following the infomercials that put “nutrient extraction” on the map, NutriBullet’s new campaign not only breaks the brand’s recent ad silence, but paves the way for the launch of its new slate of products, which include: the NutriBullet Blender Combo, the brand’s first full-size blender that takes nutrition extraction to the next level with the versatility of both a multi-serve pitcher and a single-serve cup; the NutriBullet PRO 1000, an updated and redesigned version of the brand’s most popular personal blender, the PRO 900; and the NutriBullet Select, which merges the compact design of a personal blender with the power and functionality of a full-sized machine.
