So, we can keep the ad community strong… and our abs stronger.” No equipment is necessary to participate. “In these mighty unmotivating times, pre-recorded workout vids weren’t exactly getting us out of bed,” said creative director Jamie Reedy. “So, we came up with this idea to do live weekday workouts to give ourselves and everyone else who wants to tune in an a.m. kick-in-the-pants.

More and more people are considering going electric with their next car purchase. Whilst some people might not be ready to make the leap to full electric, BMW offers a range of Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) cars, which combine a combustion petrol engine and an electric motor to offer the driver the benefit of both petrol and electric. BMW Plug-in Hybrids (PHEV) are available on many of existing models in the range, from a saloon to an SUV. A PHEV is every inch a BMW, so they look, feel and drive exactly as you would expect the ultimate driving machine to. This ground-breaking range of cars needed a show-stopping campaign. Creative agency FCB Inferno was briefed to create a campaign that clearly communicated how PHEVs offer the performance of petrol, with the efficiency of electric, in one BMW. The campaign idea is strikingly simple. In the films, each time a BMW PHEV switches from petrol to electric, it glows with pure white light. When it changes back to petrol, the light disappears. In other words, the car is ‘Sometimes electric. Always BMW.’ Achieving this effect in a way that felt realistic was much harder than it looked, and the BMW PHEV shoot included a lot of firsts. A pioneering LED lighting rig was custom built specifically for the campaign, to give a real illumination effect rather than relying on special effects. An anamorphic camera normally used for IMAX movies gave a more cinematic feel. Add in flying drone shots through a working city, and a cameraman on rollerblades who used to skate at the X Games, and you get a sense of the level of craft that went into creating the campaign. The result is an elegant visual metaphor that brings to life the PHEV range’s hidden yet innovative functionality. The film forms the first part of a wider programme that will be running throughout the year with the aim of helping consumers understand better the PHEV technology and the positive realities of living with it every day.

For 11 years, many Saudis had confused Saudi Telecom Company’s @stc_ksa Twitter account with that of Chris Rowland - an American living in New Jersey who joined Twitter under the handle @stc after his college nickname St. Chris. In 2019, stc reached an agreement with Chris to hand over his Twitter handle, and the company’s objective was to communicate to their followers that @stc was now officially stc group’s handle and no longer Chris’ handle. Not exactly earth shattering news, unless of course you know the backstory. Who would ever have imagined that through this hilarious twist of fate, Chris Rowland would be exposed to Saudi culture, interact with the thousands of followers, and even manage to reply to them in Arabic? Drawing inspiration from the rise of docutainment, JWT KSA developed a compelling short film, shot on location in New Jersey. It explored Chris’ side of the story, with a dramatic storyline. Scenes build to a heroic announcement that is as engaging as it is informative.

How to explain digital transformation with plastic balls. Charles and Ray Eames’ design philosophy was all about embracing playfulness. Whether they were designing furniture, toys, or iconic exhibits such as 1961’s Mathematica – a partnership with IBM. Inspired by the Eameses early work with IBM, the experiential agency GPJ partnered with production company 1stAveMachine to create a 10-foot tall, interactive, fully-analog machine. The installation uses playful metaphors to show how IBM’s products and solutions can help businesses overcome their struggles with digital transformation. The behavior of the plastic balls as they travel through the tracks and mechanisms of the machine helps to visualize the key steps to a more modern organization. In essence, proving the power of design to make the complex, simple. Currently touring the US and appearing at large industry events such as CES, this self-perpetuating machine is also accompanied by voice-over narration that syncs with each of the 8 “teachable moments," reinforcing IBM’s point of view.

People who are missing aren't always close to home. Often - especially in cases involving human trafficking - people end up being taken to other regions or countries. That's why Impar (Instituto Ana Paula Moreno) decided to show missing people on a world scale, through a project named #FindHope. 2019 was the year with the highest human trafficking rate of the decade. UN data say the problem affects 24.9 million worldwide. And to find and help the victims, the project seeks help through everyone's eyes, adding the photos and data of these missing people to the photos that everyone sees on Instagram. On the date of each famous global event, the institution publishes photos of missing people using hashtags on the rise. Thus, when someone searches for the event, they are impacted by photographs of missing persons, increasing the chances of the victims to be found. The project happens in the hashtags of each important event - such as #Grammy2020, #EmmyAwards, #Oscar2020 and #SuperBowl. In addition to the social network initiative, it has a website on which it is possible to register other people or send information to help find them: www.findhopeproject.com Digital advertisement created by Havas, Brazil for Impar, within the category: Public Interest, NGO.

Two A.I.’s — one older generation and one newer — wander through a looking-glass of a limbo world, gazing at humanity’s past and present in search of humans who might carry the torch into humanity’s future -- and give what knowledge they can, in hopes that we may one day solve the problems we'll face in the future. This is a branded short film for the Japanese technologies company, HITACHI, where the company was seeking to find a way to tell an emotional story about the many crises we face as a human race, and our relationship to artificial intelligence.

Marvel today unveils a new global campaign, including an ad airing in Times Square above the Disney Store, with creative strategy, visuals, and live-action spots delivered by creative branding agency loyalkaspar. The campaign invites viewers to bring the swagger of Marvel heroes into their everyday lives. Alongside drawing attention to the wide range of Marvel content now available on Disney+, the campaign seeks to highlight the overarching ethos and offerings of the Marvel brand, and connect fans of all levels to the shared sense of empowerment and fun at the heart of every line of Marvel’s business. The work illustrates how brands can build community and proactively engage consumers beyond the buzz of major new product launches. Welcoming new fans Marvel Entertainment is one of the world’s most prominent character-based entertainment companies, with a library of over 8,000 characters featured in a variety of media since 1939. Marvel utilizes its franchises in entertainment, licensing, publishing, games, and digital media – including 23 films, 17 television productions, themed attractions at Disney parks, and over 50 video games. With such a vast range of entertainment offerings and more to come, Marvel set out to remind fans of the depths of its catalog and create new connections with casual viewers. Anna Minkkinen, Executive Creative Director, loyalkaspar, says: “The ultimate goal of the campaign is to reach out to the casual fans out there – to help all kinds of people connect with Marvel and to give them an entry point into what the brand is really about.” Live action heroes Marvel tasked loyalkaspar to develop a strategic, multi-year global marketing theme across the brand that would connect with fans. Central to the campaign is a series of live-action spots which loyalkaspar developed and delivered to air across a range of Disney broadcast properties, as part of a wider promotion of Marvel. The spots evoke the feel of an action movie trailer and feature a cast of real-life Marvel fans turning everyday scenarios into opportunities to be bold, brave, and fun. Minkkinen says: “When you look at any trailer for a Marvel property, you get these shots of the talent running, flying, walking towards the camera with this determined look. In the Marvel universe, that walk is often not some stiff march, it’s a swagger. It‘s powerful and fun and full of personality. We loved the idea of pairing characters from the Marvel universe moving toward camera with every day people who love the brand – giving them that same swagger.” Creative direction, scripts and storyboards for each spot, as well as post-production was provided by loyalkaspar. For filming and casting, the agency partnered with Superprime Director Ben Quinn to shoot each spot. Static shots from the spots, and additional creative by loyalkaspar, will be featured in out-of-home advertisements, including a Times Square billboard. Find your power The profound ways in which fans have responded to Marvel’s characters provided loyalkaspar with the inspiration for this campaign - especially with the releases of films like Black Panther and Captain Marvel. Says Minkkinen: “Whether you are talking about the origin stories of Spiderman or Ms. Marvel, many characters start out as ordinary relatable people. When we enter their universe, we go on empowering journeys with them that leave us with a spring in our step.” Marvel and loyalkaspar wanted the campaign to emphasize this sense of personal inspiration and empowerment. Minkkinen says “Marvel’s brand isn’t about telling you to change to become something you aren’t. Rather it’s recognizing that you already have power – you just need to tap into it, and by interacting with a brand like Marvel, you can find this elevated confidence that propels you.“ Minkkinen adds: “I‘m a big believer in the power of simplicity, and I love how the concept of our on-air creative is such a clear and simple expression of a shared feeling. We successfully captured the vibe of the brand, and our call to action ‘Find Your Power’ is timely with the kind of creative coming out of Marvel. It speaks so well for this brand and how it makes you feel.” The Find Your Power campaign is live now, airing on Hulu and appearing in Times Square.
