A lot of people don’t know that the city of Toronto has free condoms for anyone, no questions asked. Toronto Public Health keeps the condoms in giant, self-serve bowls at sexual health clinics, community health centres, and colleges and universities across the city. “Life in the bowl” is a series of short cartoons that treat the condoms as characters who live in those bowls. The condoms live their lives, waiting for the inevitable moment they’ll be chosen. They know they’ll be taken at some point—just not exactly when.

To jump start the development of the future generation of creatives, the four leading independent Dutch advertising agencies Achtung!, Dawn, Natwerk, and Sue decided to set up the first real traineeship program in the Netherlands: Uncommon. It is the first program of its kind with the clear aim to develop high-calibre advertising talent with experience across a wide range of disciplines. The challenges brands face nowadays can’t to be solved with creative communications alone. The depth of solutions that are expected from agencies need a new breed of creatives. They require digital natives who understand brands, storytellers who embrace innovation, strategists who are creative, and creatives who approach challenges with a start-up mentality. The program is comprised of four three-month rotations through each agency. Digital advertisement created by Achtung!, Netherlands for Uncommon, within the category: Professional Services.

Avon is trying to be a brand with a purpose, by supporting and creating campaigns for women rights. In Costa Rica, most violence against women occurs during and after the national tournament soccer matches. Alcohol consumption and anger fuel an already male chauvinist society, as the number of aggression reports skyrockets at those times. During the most followed game of the season ("The Classic", Saprissa-Alajuela) we aired the commercial several times. It had a huge impact which was immediately shown in social media, where people used the hashtag #NiUnaMenos (#NotOneLess) to praise the brand for its courage. #NiUnaMenos is an already established movement which demands the end of violence against women.

Letting the comedy speak for itself, Slim purposely chose to avoid too many tricksy morphs and let editor Ricky Boyd work his magic, allowing the cut to reveal the change from cool Cape-Town-land to uncool-place-of-no-return, after our guy mistakenly strays beyond the signal of Good Hope. The concept proves that those wine-guzzling rascals can laugh at themselves after all. We didn't actually get to interview any of them but we'd imagine that if we did, they'd say something like, "It's, like, the truth. And if you don't, like, find it funny, you're probs from, like, Jo'burg. Eeuw." Film advertisement created by BBDO, South Africa for Good Hope FM, within the category: Media.
