Created by HearLife Clinic and FP7/McCann in Dubai, “Lost Frequency” is a series of self-diagnosing radio adverts for hearing loss. With 500,000 people affected with hearing loss in the UAE, the challenge for HearLife was to get the 35% of sufferers unaware they have a problem, to take a hearing test. The early symptoms of hearing loss are difficulties hearing high frequency and low sounds, often only discovered in an audiology exam. In the examination, ranges of sounds tested patients hearing: those unable to hear above 4kHz+ are diagnosed with hearing loss. To make the test something everyone would want to listen to, the team took the science of a hearing test and disguised it as wildlife documentary. Because birds, crickets and dolphins all naturally sing in the 4kHz+, they could use these animals to help self-diagnose hearing loss. In a series of 3 radios, take a quick dive with dolphins, listen to the birds, and join thousands of crickets on a summer’s night. For the first time, those who didn’t know they had a problem were self-diagnosed and offered a solution.

To celebrate mothers in the Middle East, around Mother’s Day recently, Babyshop, a leading Middle East retailer, along with its agency, has created a new Arabic word: Al Umobuwah. Arabic contains a variety of words that stem from paternal-centered roots, including the word for “parenthood”. Written “الابوة” and pronounced “Al Obuwah”, it translates into “fatherhood”, omitting mention of the mother. Other words for “parenthood” such as the one from UN called “Walediya” are also derived from paternal-centered roots. To represent a brand that stands for “Celebrating parenthood”, the agency worked with a team of Arabic writers to introduce a new Arabic word to include mothers and fathers. “الأموبوة”, pronounced “Al Umobuwah” translates into “Motherhood & Fatherhood”, and gives both parents equal representation in the word. With the introduction of “Al Umobuwah”, Babyshop wishes to recognize and celebrate mothers not just for Mother’s Day, but for every other day. An online video launched to share the idea and purpose behind the campaign, features people who have embraced and used the word. Arab Influencers have shared the idea and are endorsing it and are creating social media interactions with their followers around it. The word will also be shared across schools. A new clothing line titled“Al Umobuwah” has been launched for toddlers, infants, kids, teens and adults with a show planned to introduce the collection. The campaign includes in-store and out-of-store interactive experiences, to get people acquainted with the word, eventually aimed at getting this word into the Arabic dictionary.

The New Volvo S90 T8 Plug-in Hybrid is a premium sedan that defies the conventions of all electric cars in its class. Equipped with Volvo’s intelligent T8 Twin Engine, it generates 407 horse power to provide a V8-like performance, yet with far more fuel-efficiency and far less carbon emissions, while having zero-emissions capabilities on Pure electric mode. As the S90 T8 was expected to arrive during the peak of the thunderstorm season in Thailand, Volvo Car Thailand and GREYnJ United seized the opportunity for an unconventional campaign that paralleled the car’s uncompromising power to the most powerful, yet purest, form of electrical power on Earth. At the core of it, was the first-of-its-kind “Volvo Lightning-Powered Billboard” – a giant billboard with the exceptional ability to entice a lightning strike. In collaboration with the engineers from Macco Group, the billboard was fitted with custom-engineered lightning rods, designed to create a world-first spectacle of pure power whenever a thunderstorm occurred above. Data collected from the meteorological department allowed the tech team to monitor the approach of a thunderstorm to the billboard, and with the help of multiple cameras and infra-red sensors, consumers could witness the unique electrical phenomenon on Volvo Cars Thailand Facebook page.

The Agency has been exploring different ways of working, creating and producing and has launched its own Content Lab: a space where the pace is reduced, pressure from daily tasks removed along with the ability to give sufficient time to take a big step back in order to find the right partners, produce, think and put things into question. The driving force being Freedom. From this was born the Citroën Forward project. One year ago the Agency presented a wild idea to the Citroën Client and proposed a completely different way of approaching and producing it. The story of a man face to face with nature in which the Agency was free to create it's own form and tone. The car is shown in a way that has never been seen before and the brand logo appears nowhere in the film. When confronted with the question should we have a classic logo at the end of the film? The answer from Xavier Beauregard was is it possible to have missed the brand? In conclusion the Agency has produced a hybrid piece of work which is hard to identify or even name: in short an unidentified advertising object.

New Zealand SPCA, MINI and DraftFCB Auckland asked: Can you teach a dog to drive? And after Porter, a 10 month old beardie cross successfully drove a MINI Countryman down a road and turned a corner on Monday night in New Zealand, the answer is resounding “yes.” The project, which began two months ago, was an effort to raise the profile of shelter and rescue dogs, and focused on three pooches, Monty, Porter and Ginny, who underwent a training process to teach them new tricks.
