TASK: To make Mastercard a multi-sensory brand by building a new channel of brand communication with the audience through senses that have not previously been used for advertising purposes. Engage the Atlas Weekend audience and reach an additional 1.5 million target audience with minimal media costs. SOLUTION: Let those who are unable to hear the sound—feel the sound. We invited the American music translator, Amber Galloway Gallego. Amber is the author of a unique style of translating music into sign language. At the event, she conducted a series of trainings for a Ukrainian team of sign language translators who also contributed to interpreting performances. At a special sensor field called #MastercardVibes, visitors with hearing impairments were able to feel the music through special built-in areas. Sound was experienced as never before, with some feeling its vibrations through touch. Special SubPac ripple vests made it possible to feel deep bass frequencies throughout the entire body. RESULTS: The total media coverage of the project was 17,455,039, which is 872% more than planned. More than 200 hearing impaired people took advantage of the #MastercardVibes activity. More than 100 songs were translated during the performances. Over 70 media resources lighted up the information for free. Thanks to a master class from Amber Galloway Gallego and her team, a new profession has emerged in Ukraine—sign language interpreters specializing in translating music.

The majority of car-owning Americans don't know how to fix a flat and put off buying new tires—and the combination makes for a lot of “oh no!” moments. The newest campaign from Big O Tires takes a humorous look at car repair by turning the big “oh no” moment into a big “oh yes!” The “Big O Yes!” campaign, created by Kansas City-based agency Barkley, portrays the crises that come when you combine a wobbly tire with green jello and white suits or try to take your bald treads up an icy hill near a china shop.

X Shore, a brand driving the future of electric boating, has created a unique advertisement that features the 2015 hit song “Sun is Shining,” which reached number one on the music charts, by Axwell (Axel Hedfors) and Ingrosso (Sebastian Ingrosso). Celebrating Midsummer, the music-centric video was created and directed by X Shore’s internal production team and Konrad Bergström, Founder and Head of Creatives, and tells the story of the joyous experience aboard the Eelex 8000, a 100 percent electric boat built to entertain family and friends. “We’re thrilled to showcase X Shore alongside such a great song to celebrate our favorite time of the year, Midsummer, and embrace our Swedish heritage. We know everyone who watches can get a sense of the joyous feeling a high tech, sustainable boat can give to those onboard,” said Bergström. Much like its boats, X Shore has taken an innovative approach to advertising by creating a music video-style advertisement in-house with creative team members, Hedda Hökfelt, Kasper Bröns, Oscar Dieden, Elias Wästberg, and Head of Creatives, Konrad Bergström, complimented by an external team consisting of Hannes Söderström (photography), Pierre Wikberg (videographer), Philip Puljak (editor). The full 4-minute music video has premiered on X Shore’s YouTube channel, and a 20-second version will appear on TV in Scandinavia during the Olympic games this summer, as well. X Shore additionally plans to run five different 15-second versions through paid advertisements on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok in the U.S. X Shore is built on the core values of technology, sustainability and design, and its Eelex 8000 is a fully electric boat that was crafted with all of these core values in mind. Designed for those who aspire to become one with nature, passengers can embrace the natural beauty of the water and all that inhabits it without the harmful noise and fumes typical fossil-fuel engines emit, making the Eelex 8000 the ideal dayboat for every marine activity. Equipped with safety, entertainment and fleet telemetry features, and built with sustainable materials like cork instead of teak, as well as optional Flax fiber instead of fiberglass and carbon fiber, X Shore’s Eelex 8000 offers passengers a unique, seamless boating experience that they have never experienced before.

Brief On 25th of August 2010 AIK played a match against Gothenburg. AIK wanted a campaign to promote the match, whilst allowing all Swedish AIK fans to participate. Insight The insight that led to the idea was that football players are often superstitious. Idea Is it possible to affect a football team by using superstition? The idea for a psychological experiment was born, and we involved AIK fans all over Sweden. Campaign The campaign was centered around the site jinxgoteborg.com. Here we asked AIK fans for bad luck symbols; black cats, ladders and mirrors. Fans could lend us their own, or donate symbols via SMS. With trucks full of symbols and voluntary AIK supporters, we travelled to Gothenburg - and set up bad luck-installations around the city. The Gothenburg citizens walked under ladders, broke mirrors and saw black cats crossing the street. Everything was filmed and streamed live to the site. Fans who donated symbols saw their own names tagged on the symbols. And finally, before a training session at Kamratgården we showed the Gothenburg players footage of the project.

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.
