The Challenge: To launch the Nissan 370Z in the region, we needed to engage young Arabs while playing up the car’s speed and agility. The Opportunity: Online gaming is ranked as one of the top 3 activities for young users across the region. So we harnessed this opportunity to reach our target. The Idea: To drive home the car’s features and activate our audience we created a Z Pilots – a social media based racing game. Players could race the 370Z against their Facebook friends on a track inspired by one of the world’s most iconic circuits – the Yas Marina circuit. The prize? The fastest of them all would win a Nissan 370Z driving experience at the actual Yas Marina Circuit along with a weekend’s stay on Yas Island. The Results: After just 4 weeks, over 41,570 players from across the region raced against each other. On average, players spent over 6 minutes on the race track. The 5 fastest laps won the Yas Marina racing experience with a real 370Z. And the fever raced across the internet, with more hits than ever expected. Z Pilots created a solid fanbase for the 370Z. The brand established street cred among the young Arab audience. And the game is still running far beyond anticipation, attracting over 61,000 players from the region to date.

To encourage Bessies submissions, JWT created a spot that, at first glance, looks like the original Skittles lick-the-screen commercial we’ve all seen before (Also a previous Bessie’s winner). But, instead, it takes an interesting twist when BBDO’s ECD Carlos Moreno appears and, let’s just say, plays copycat… Digital advertisement created by JWT, Canada for The Bessies Award, within the category: Professional Services.

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.
