On New Year’s Eve, millions of people across the continent celebrated the arrival of 2014 with dinners, parties and of course fireworks. In this “Screen Age”, a staggering estimated 1.1 billion photos and videos were shared on social media platforms in the last 24 hours. In the past people used to share texts on special occasions, now they send each other Vines, Instagrams and short videos. To strengthen the Life Is For Sharing positioning, Deutsche Telekom launched the next chapter with a 90’’ film taken from crowd-sourced videos uploaded on Vine & Instagram. Little film snippets show how people across Europe welcomed 2014, and were edited through the night. The result is a feel-good 90 second film sourced from a variety of hashtags, which included #share2014. The soundtrack “Million Dollar Bills” comes courtesy of worldwide music sensation Lorde.

What does a world-class New Jersey cancer center do when it wants to elevate itself onto the same platform as NCI (National Cancer Institute) accredited cancer centers? The John Theurer Cancer Center first turned to purpose-driven NYC boutique agency Leijas to solidify their messaging and approach. The agency didn’t simply start with JTCC’s cutting-edge innovation and advancements in technology. Rather, they focused on JTCC’s unique philosophy that includes the expertise of over 1,200 sub specialized leaders in the field of oncology. And what they learned was that it all boils down to patients. But JTCC treats cancer much differently, in three distinct and tangible ways – with optimism sparking resilience of the human spirit, the expertise of world-renowned specialists, and personal care and compassion. This combination of heart and science led to the value proposition “pushing science and innovation to heal the human body and spirit.” The approach was to truly connect with the patients and allow them to be the brand voice throughout the communication effort. Leijas spent several weeks working closely with the cancer center leadership to identify “hero patients” and to understand the unique elements of JTCC and the campaign strategy. Leijas then got to know the patients and their families – not just the cancer they beat, but diving into their stories and into their hearts, reliving their journeys - often revealing their vulnerabilities. The strategy became not defining each patient by their disease, but rather highlighting them as individuals. The goal of the campaign from JTCC, which breaks this month, is to raise awareness of JTCC – it’s unique approach to treating cancer told through the successful treatment of these four patients. Unlike all-too-common hospital advertising, the work invites a deeply personal element as well a genuine element of hope, and inspiration. The campaign’s goal is to build the center’s awareness and reputation, runs through the end of December and includes: four documentary-style videos, website, print, digital, billboard, radio and social media. The 360-degree media planning and buying was handled by media agency SPM, Chicago. Content advertisement created by Leijas, United States for John Theurer Cancer Center, within the category: Health.

In January all gyms and health clubs advertise to catch everyone who made the classic New Year’s resolution – start excercising. Friskis&Svettis is no exception. Our mission was to create a campaign on behalf of 16 branches of Friskis&Svettis in Stockholm, to get more people to discover the various forms of exercise at Friskis&Svettis. Friskis&Svettis is a non-profit association, owned by the members. They know their gym better than anyone. So why not let the members be the campaign and inspire others to join the community? We created the hashtag #friskissthlm on Instagram and called on the members to work out, photograph and tag their pics and by doing so; become a part of the campaign around Stockholm.
