The Eiffel Tower. Big Ben. The Great Pyramid of Giza. 172 John St. What do these structures have in common? Well, they have all been recreated in painstaking detail in the massively popular world-building game Minecraft. As part of its 20th anniversary celebration, Toronto agency john st. recreated its office right down to the very last detail—including its distinctive 650-pound concrete reception bench and the staff’s favourite elevator-riding dog, Doug. And with large get-togethers still discouraged, this Minecraft site also became the site of a virtual hang to mark the agency’s milestone anniversary. Yes, they had an office party in Minecraft. “Our location has been very important to us – we’re named john st. after all,” said CEO Stephanie Hurst. “The experiences we’ve shared here – from sneaking chocolates from the reception desk to the random pigeons who like to visit the first floor – have helped form who we are over the past 20 years.” The virtual recreation was made by Gamefruitpulp, a Toronto gamer and YouTuber who spent several years creating the ambitious Building Toronto Project, a 1:1 recreation of the city within Minecraft that includes instantly recognizable recreations of well-known buildings such as the Fairmont Royal York Hotel and the Flatiron Building. Agency leaders kept the Minecraft version of john st. under wraps until July 23 (the agency’s official opening date), when it opened its doors for a virtual get-together to celebrate the agency’s milestone anniversary. For some staff members who were hired during the pandemic, it was their first time seeing the agency “in person.” The online space was unveiled during the Friday Breakfast all-staff meeting and staff were then given the day to explore the space and explore various quests in teams.

Lots of people have credit union accounts but less and less are using them for day-to-day banking and borrowing, despite their status as a trusted community pillar and the ‘original peer-to-peer lender.’ The Credit ReUnion is an open invitation for any and all credit union members to come back, no matter how long it’s been. Lots of people have credit union accounts but less and less are using them for day-to-day banking and borrowing, despite their status as a trusted community pillar and the ‘original peer-to-peer lender.’ The Credit ReUnion is an open invitation for any and all credit union members to come back, no matter how long it’s been. It began with a nationwide campaign to find and bring back one long-inactive member named Dan, before inviting the nation to reunite with their local credit union. But we didn’t stop there. During the week-long search outdoor ads began appearing up and down the country along with local guerrilla posters, complete with a hotline number anyone with information on Dan could call. Once we reunited Dan with his local credit union, it was time to turn our attention to the rest of Ireland.

Advertising agency Cactus has created an animated TV campaign aimed at driving awareness and purchases of various Scratch products in the Colorado Lottery’s portfolio. Lottery ads tend to focus on a single product, but the point of “Something for Everyone” is to show there’s a Scratch game for everyone. The four 15-second spots showcase several games, such as Crossword, Bingo and Poker, and inform viewers that Scratch tickets sell at seven price points ranging from $1 to $50 and that prizes span from $50 to $3 million. The work primarily targets light Lottery players who have the most potential for increasing their spending on Scratch tickets. Many people, who don’t normally play the Lottery throughout the year, buy or receive tickets as gifts during the holiday season (November to January). This fact offers the Colorado Lottery a chance to remind infrequent players how much fun they had playing the games and purchasing tickets. Core players are a secondary target. The Colorado Lottery launches 40 to 45 unique games each year and has 24 games available at any given time for quick-match addicts, strategic thinkers, math lovers and casino fans.
