With the aim of revitalizing the Tabernas Desert (Almería), the automotive brand ŠKODA created the campaign "The Desert Cowboys." A project that pays tribute to the people who still live in the desert, in which the citizens were asked to collaborate, in order to set up a transport service that will connect the villages of the region. After more than 5,000,000 likes on social networks, the service is already a reality. To start up the service, Tabernas Local Council launched a public tender to find the driver of the ŠKODA KODIAQ, who is currently providing the stagecoach service that connects the localities of Alcudia de Monteagud, Tahal and Senés with Tabernas free-of-charge three days a week. The launch of the service, on 20 September, was reported at the presentation of the 7th edition of the Almeria Western Film Festival. A film festival created to promote the Western genre and stimulate the film industry in the region, of which ŠKODA is one of the main sponsors. Coinciding with this, ŠKODA has also released the "The Desert Cowboys” documentary, directed by Paco Cabellero, in tribute to those who still live in the desert and whose day-to- day difficulties, due to the lack of transport, are expected to improve with the implementation of the service. The piece can be seen on ŠKODA’s social networks and on the project’s website www.thedesertcowboys.com. After helping the inhabitants of Valdelinares and the Tabernas Desert, the brand continues in its fight against isolation and depopulation in remote locations with mobility solutions.

New Lada Granta “Keeping The Word” launch campaign Lada Granta is a legendary car in Avtovaz lineup and one of the top-3 best-selling cars on the Russian market. However, it has the cheapest price among other models and therefore appreciated as a multipurpose vehicle for daily use, not a dream car. Research shows that people are losing trust in ads. They tend to believe in stories told by real people. That is why we created true life stories about real people who keep their promises. Stories that got under the skin and into the heart of our audience and caused the unprecedentedly warm response. Many people across Russian regions live simple lives not asking for recognition, money or fame. They do what they have to do, and often do it for others, disregarding their own needs. Such is the Russian common folk is. No matter the circumstances and difficulties he faces, he will keep his word, once given. He is reliable, unpretentious, honest, and humble. Selfless acts are common and expected of him. His close ones depend on him. You can rely on him, but he can rarely rely on his car, which is usually an either a poorly built one or an old one. Reliable person needs a reliable car. We elevate the everyday challenges of our everyday hero to the level of deep human drama, and we celebrate those who keep their word no matter the circumstances. As a result, VTR and CTR were 2-4 times above market norm and the average viewing time was 75%, 3 times greater than the 30” benchmark defined for video of automotive segment.

Thomas Cook India has launched a new travel campaign ‘Travel to Know’, intended to break down cultural perceptions and promote the North Eastern India region as a culturally diverse travel destination for Indians. Unlike the typical travel campaign approach, the travel brand has deliberately steered away from using picturesque imagery. Instead it challenges ethnic stereotypes, questions our need to label places and its communities and implores the audience to travel more and ‘turn what you know around’.

When it comes to buying food on the go, it’s so easy to say yes to going large, adding a side or making it a meal deal. But these little unnecessary extras are having a huge impact on our health. As a society, we need to be more aware of the techniques used to make us buy more than we need. Food Standards Scotland approached the Union to increase awareness around upsizing. An integrated campaign, consisting of outdoor digital 6-sheets and three TV ads, addresses this serious issue in a fun and engaging way, and tells everyone that when it comes to upsizing, it’s time to say no.

Slavery, Isis, beheadings and crucifixions. Just a few of the nightmares Syrian families are fleeing their homes from. In just three days, Turkey took in more Syrian refugees than Europe has in three years. Violence from the Assad regime has forced ten million people from their homes - that’s half the country - and more than 3 million out of the country itself. There are now 3.3 million refugees, and over half are children. Syria’s neighboring countries have bore the brunt of the war's effects by taking in millions. But now, they can’t keep up. In some of the poorest communities in the Middle East, the strain on resources has made life unbearable. Lebanon has welcomed 1,600,000 refugees, swelling its population by 36%. While at last count the UK had only resettled 54.
