Carpets get dirty. Rug Doctor gets ‘em clean. We’ve gotten pretty good at telling that story. But for their new campaign, our client challenged us to educate people on exactly how filthy their carpets, rugs, and soft surfaces are while showing Rug Doctor’s superior technology as the only way to thoroughly clean them. So we created the “Institute of Clean” campaign, inspired by Rug Doctor’s R&D lab in Fenton, Missouri—where the boundaries of cleaning technology are pushed daily. Our spokesman, the DOC (aka Doctor of Clean), takes a not-so-serious approach to explaining Rug Doctor’s serious obsession with cleaning. With original music from Luminous Sound, the fully integrated campaign includes TV, Radio, Digital/Social and In-Store materials.

The campaign is a story of hope, optimism, and determination, highlighting the lengths AID FOR AIDS / AID FOR LIFE have gone and will continue to go to get help where it is needed. The Saatchi team chose to tell this story through animation to emphasize the dove, AID FOR AIDS’ logo, but also to discuss a complicated topic in an easily digestible way to evoke understanding and appreciation from the viewer.

All Vachon snack cakes are delicious, but surely there’s one that’s better than the rest. To answer this hot-button question, Vachon is inviting Quebecers to settle the issue once and for all in a colourful, light-hearted campaign developed by Cossette, its agency of record. In total, eleven of Vachon’s best-known and best-loved cakes can be voted on, including the fascinating Passion Flakie, the legendary Jos Louis and the oh-so-decadent Ah Caramel! (preferably straight out of the freezer). “The truth is, there’s no debate when it comes to the best Vachon snack cake. Until someone dares to diss your favourite, that is,” said Michel-Alex Lessard, Vice-President, Strategy, at Cossette. “Vachon cakes have always been a part of our lives. They bring back fond memories, and we’ve become attached to our favourite cake in a way that may be considered a bit irrational.” The campaign’s pièce de résistance—a 60-second video in which the question is debated in everyday conversations between co-workers, couples and friends—appears online and on television. “When we start the debate on THE best Vachon, it won’t be over in 15 seconds. It gets people fired up, which is why we needed to use a longer format to bring the concept to life,” added Anne-Claude Chénier, Vice-President, Creative Advertising. Out-of-home signage and social posts are also being leveraged to get Quebecers to vote. People are being urged to support their favourite cake by casting their vote at thebestvachon.ca, by purchasing a box of cakes at the grocery store, or by sharing their pick on social networks. Fact: just two weeks into the campaign, more than 50,000 people had already cast their vote. Later this year, Vachon will crown the world’s best Vachon cake. And in 2020, some 500,000 winning cakes will be given away for free. To demonstrate the magnitude of the prize, Cossette created the first-ever edible wall, offering a thousand Jos Louis to passersby.

Most viewers either appreciate Aivazovsky’s art or just don’t relate to it at all, perceiving his paintings just as ‘some sea pictures’. To overcome this emotional gap, BBDO Russia Group decided to shift the emphasis from the global ocean to the painter himself. The film recounts one of the most amazing moments in life of Aivazovsky, when he was working on the “Explosion of the Turkish Ship” painting just several hours before he passed away – almost to the very end.
