Despite a year of lockdowns and restricted travel, Australians have become even closer to their local communities, businesses and neighbours. While the pandemic has been isolating, it’s also had the effect of bringing people closer together and has fostered a collective mentality. Google products - from local business listings to Maps - have helped to play a role in this. To tell that story, Google tapped rising star Director Sanjay De Silva from production company, DIVISION. The simple story of a young woman out shopping is captured with the distinctive style De Silva has become known for, with immersive camera techniques and visual playfulness. Paired with music by Chris Valentine, the resulting film is a swagger-filled story told through community interactions. The delightful twist- that she is shopping to support an elderly neighbour- is a celebration of the resurgence of community spirit, and how the Google tools you use every day can help you help others.

Vangardist, a leading German/English language men’s monthly invited its readers to take a hands-on approach to ending the social stigma surrounding HIV. To coincide with one of the biggest HIV events in the world - Life Ball - which takes place every year in Vangardist’s home town of Vienna, all 3,000 copies of its Spring issue were printed with ink infused with HIV+ blood donated by three individuals living with the HIV virus. Whilst the magazine has been produced according to the most stringent controls and using processes developed according to guidelines established by Harvard and Innsbruck University, ensuring that the handling of a physical copy of the magazines carries no risk of infection, and is 100% safe; the debate and discussion around the magazine and the issue it highlights has already been significant.

In celebration of MGM Resorts International’s album UNIVERSAL LOVE, our collection of reimagined wedding songs for the LGBTQ community, Kesha has unveiled the music video for her song “I Need a Woman to Love Me” which appears on the album. The special music video directed by Lagan Sebert, sees Kesha on a journey to Vegas to officiate a same sex wedding. The wedding took place at Bellagio in Las Vegas on March 26th, the anniversary of the first same sex marriage license issued in the US. The couple in the video, Dani and Lindsay, were selected after they shared a heartfelt video showcasing their excitement to be married in Vegas. This wedding marks the third time Kesha has officiated a same-sex wedding. UNIVERSAL LOVE, celebrates the enduring and overwhelming power of love and music to unite and includes six boundary-changing songs from Bob Dylan (“He’s Funny That Way”), St. Vincent (“And Then She Kissed Me”), Benjamin Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie (“And I Love Him”), Kele Okereke of Bloc Party (“My Guy”), Valerie June (“Mad About The Girl”), and Kesha. The compilation album, produced by MGM Resorts in conjunction with global advertising agency McCann, is a natural extension of MGM’s two decades of advocacy work with the LGBTQ community and the company’s desire to advance initiatives that unite humanity. More than a decade before same-sex marriage was legalized, same-sex commitment ceremonies were performed at chapels at MGM Resorts’ properties.

In history textbooks, there are not many women's names. We heard about the actions of Skoropadsky, Kotsyubinsky, Bandera, but we have not heard anything about their wives who had a direct impact on their husbands, and as a result on the politics of Ukraine. Such depreciation of women’s role has led to the fact that 70% of men in Ukraine are convinced that the woman's place is in the kitchen. Decision To draw attention to the problem, we chose well-known "male" surnames (Bandera, Skoropadsky, Kotsyubinsky) and told the story of women who stood behind them. Our idea was a unique packaging design for a limited batch of condensed milk. One hundred sets were sent to the leading Ukrainian media, bloggers and opinion leaders. Results The bold choice of surnames attracted the attention of 189 Ukrainian and 73 Russian media. The number of fans of the “Ichnyansky dairy and cannery” page on Facebook has increased by 1200%. The project with a budget of $ 14.69 covered 26,820,589 users. Design advertisement created by Tabasco, Ukraine for Ichnya, within the category: Food.
