Burma - Human Rights Watch / 2100 in 2010 - (2010) 1:45 (USA)

Nice to have a case study with the proper soundtrack to go with it, to really get a feel of how this worked. The beauty is that for each pen taken, a bar is removed from the prison windows. People who took a pen did get the tactile feeling of actually helping, it's not just a scribble on a piece of paper, it's the steel-file that will get people out of there.

Goezy (Laxative) - The art of uncorking - Gallery with toilet paper sculptures

To launch the Mega Lifesciences laxative brand Goezy with minimum budgets that maximized hype, we decided to recreate the feeling of having to spend hours in the toilet when you are constipated.

We briefed Artists to create sculptures on the theme struggle using toilet paper. The sculptures were later exhibited in art galleries. Each piece carried titles (ex: Clutch, Grimace, etc.) which mentioned the artists name and the number of hours spent in the loo. Goezy took ownership of helping relieve the artists of constipation.

Silesia4 - Commodore is not dead (POLAND)

Silesia Party is the largest Commodore 64 convention in Eastern Europe. Our job was to promote it among the Commodore fans and beyond.

We wanted to wake up cool old Commodore computers sleeping in the closets.

We created ad that can be understood only when using your old C64. We created a first digital banner broadcasted on the radio.

Shoppers suffering from backache welcomed the assistance offered by the Iodex team.

Famous Footwear, by Campbell Mithun - Back to School (2010) - behind the scenes

Campbell Mithun's fast-paced back-to-school ads for Famous Footwear use a time-slice filming technique to freeze everyday teen moments of fun. New to this mid-tier, shoe-retailer category, the process involves using a 20-camera rig (all cameras snap simultaneously) and Canon 5D camera.

The Canadian Tourism Commission (CTC) - Twitter-Based Murals

The storescapes harness the power of Twitter and bring to the street what is being said and uploaded about Canada. This conversation is powered by real people and is happening in real time.
In appearance, the art direction evokes an online cloud. Images and tweets of Canada appear across the vinyl and this is mimicked on the digital part of the screen, which is interactive. The consumer who engages the screen can touch images and read the associated tweet.

A few words from the creative:

Twelpforce - Best Buy Blue Shirts Twitter case study

The back-to-school season is a nutty time for any retailer. But especially for Best Buy. Because people are looking for complicated items like computers, and they need a little education on what’s right for them. Problem is, Best Buy can’t help those who don’t walk through their doors. To extend the knowledge of their expert Geeks and Blue Shirts beyond their walls and into the digital space, Best Buy created the Twelpforce. A digitized army of Best Buy employees available 24/7 on Twitter. And not to push products — but to provide twelp. A new term for technical help in tweet form. Anyone with a question could shoot a tweet to @twelpforce, at any time. And over 2000 expert Blue Shirts would race to give the fastest, bestest answers.

Frooti Juicy Mango Surprise Project: Giant Mangos attack!

So, you get a pretty straight forward brief that states: "inform people that there is lots of real mango in product", and you could do all sorts of samplings, tastings mango give-aways with this... Yeah, pretty dull.

Or you could scare the bejesus out of people by chasing them downhill with giant mangos!. Yes, aim that 8-foot mango down the slope onto the oncoming pedestrians. Do it! And why not drop enormous mangos from trees narrowly missing their heads? Yes! Lets do that too. A lot more fun, isn't it? Plus all those near heart-attack victims will take the drink you offer and think it's the best thing ever now. Win win!

Twentythree+Bogusky - hijacking Bogusky's facebook page, and made him a partner

Remember when we told you that Twentythree hijacked Alex Bogusky's face book fan page and held it hostage back in march? Twentythree's demands were cheap, but sneaky: [heavy Israeli accent] You will buy one share of our company for 1$.[/heavy Israeli accent]
Alex ain't no fool, he knew what this meant but thought the idea so funny - and cheap "what did it cost, like a nickle?" that he willingly bought a share for a buck and thus gave birth to the Israeli agency that can claim that Alex Bogusky is their partner.

Now the agency is sending this case to the Cannes Lions awards. It would be hilarious if an idea that cost a nickle (and six months of preparation, since they created that Alex Bogusky fan page long before the "hijack") won something. Hilarious in the painful way.

I asked TwentyThree so you made the Alex fan page 6 months earlier? Were you planning to launch this way all along?

Twentythree (whom you can follow @23Live on twitter): the answer is yes + yes.
We've launched the page early September last year and that was the plan all along.

AFFC - Marcelo Bielsa as saint / Light Him a Candle

The Soccer Fans Association of Chile (Asociación de Fanáticos del Fútbol Chileno, AFFC) are calling upon football fans to light a candle for Chilean football team coach, Marcelo Bielsa in a bid for his canonisation.

The making Bielsa Chile’s first football saint depends on him performing three miracles. The first – qualifying for the World Cup – has already happened. The second miracle will be realised if Chile makes it to the second round and the third miracle will be achieved if Chile go on to do the unthinkable and win the South Africa 2010 World Cup.

ID/TBWA had the brief to advertise Kaiak's new scent in online banners. They couldn't show the new scent on a banner, so they opted for creating a banner that you could literally smell. Yes way!

ID/TBWA created custom hardware and attached it to computers at more than 15 lan houses in Brazil. The agency created a special banner that appeared on the computers' internet start pages reading, "The best selling men's fragrance in the country just changed. Want to try it? Click this banner. It's scented." Those who click are treated to scented strip that emerges from the special hardware attached in the computer flatscreen.
