UNICEF Landmine Stickers / Single nonprofit
Agency: Leo Burnett Frankfurt
Client: UNICEF Frankfurt
Typical rural dwellers around the world generally watch their step only for cracks in the sidewalk or tangible evidence of a dog owner’s neglect. Elsewhere around the world, however, lethal landmines from bygone conflicts force pedestrians to pay heed to each and every step. UNICEF and AOR Leo Burnett collaborated to bring awareness to this tragedy. Double-sided flat stickers, camouflaged to look like part of the floor, were placed in front of UNICEF’s booth. When passers-by stepped on them, they stuck to their feet. When they pulled the stickers off their shoes, they were greeted with a picture of a landmine on the underside and the fact that in a country with rogue mines still posing a threat, lives are lost in just as happenstance a manner as walking across a seemingly harmless space.

iPhone Jonny / Consumer campaign
Agency: AIM Proximity
Client: Yellow
A cumbersome Yellow Pages telephone book does not inspire thoughts of interactivity or information at the touch-of-a-button, especially in a world that makes print directories increasingly more obsolete. With the help of AIM Proximity, Yellow sought to bridge the gap between the perception of its brand and its ability to be the go-to online source for any need. Yellow saw a publicity opportunity in New Zealand’s position as the first place where the new 3G iPhone went on sale, which meant, logically, someone there would be the first to buy it. The first of these happy campers was exactly that — a camper. Clandestinely sponsored by Yellow, iPhone Jonny, as he came to be known, waited in line for three days, receiving worldwide exposure for his spot at the head of the line. While in line, he managed to secure food and shelter, get a barbershop shave and even hosted a dinner party, all while blogging about how he secured these assets using yellow.co.nz. The day after Jonny purchased the phone, Yellow revealed its secret using a full-page newspaper ad.

UNICEF Anti-landmines table soccer / Single nonprofit
Agency: Leo Burnett
Client: UNICEF
One of the more common and universally recognizable sights across Europe is a soccer team taking the field for a match. Children across the world play soccer, and some play in areas riddled with landmines left over from past wars. UNICEF, working with Leo Burnett, tapped into the worldwide familiarity of the sport by putting a table soccer game next to a UNICEF booth in Frankfurt, Germany, and letting passers-by play a free game. What was unique about this particular table was that most of the plastic players were missing one or both legs. Above each goal – in a place that may be reserved for highly visible ads on a real playing field – were two messages: “Thousands of people still become landmine victims each year. Help with your donation.”

Ella / Consumer campaign
Agency: BMF
Client: Ella Baché
Visitors to the harbor waterfront in Sydney Australia on a February day found themselves amid some sun, glistening water…and a large sculpture of a woman made out of peaches. The sculpture was created by BMF for Ella Baché and its skin care product line. Ella Baché, which uses the tagline “Skin Good Enough To Eat,” wanted to promote its products and increase beauty treatment sales. Visitors to the sculpture, nicknamed Ella, were given peaches and encouraged to book a treatment online. Ella generated buzz on the Web and in blogs, as well as news articles countrywide, accounting for more than $600,000 in free media. The company also saw a boost in treatments, with some salons seeing a 50% increase.

The crowd’s story / Single consumer
Agency: Euro RSCG Australia
Client: Sony
What better place to string together hundreds of unrelated 15-word stories than at a short-film festival? At Sony’s Tropfest 2008 in Australia, each member of the crowd was handed a flyer inviting them to text in a 15-word story to participate in the festival’s theme, “Life is a story. Tell yours with Sony.” Each short story was shown on the big screen at the festival during intermissions, and each was connected with the phrase “and then,” to create one completely random and unique story. More than 1,000 texts ultimately were sent in — six times more than there was time to show.

Take me home / Single nonprofit
Agency: M&C Saatchi/Mark
Client: Sydney Dogs & Cats Home
Nothing tugs on the heart strings of a dog lover quite like the prospect of a lovable canine on the cusp of running out of time in a dog shelter. In order to promote the adoption of 11 dogs in just such a predicament, the Sydney Dogs & Cats Home had to get the word out. Along with Sydney-based agency Mark, the organization made cardboard cutouts of dogs that were displayed in car windows. The cutouts reminded people of the comfort that comes with owning a dog and were inspiring enough to get the 11 dogs a home and lift charitable contributions to the cause by 20% over the previous year.

RBC Campus – Crime doesn’t pay / Consumer campaign
Agency: Proximity/BBDO Canada
Client: Royal Bank of Canada
The college crowd sure can be a stingy bunch. From “borrowing” toilet paper to condiments, it’s clear that they are a group frequently strapped for cash. But, no matter how petty it may be, “Crime Doesn’t Pay.” This was the slogan that Royal Bank of Canada used to entice students to use their free banking service. RBC placed “criminals” in stocks or shackled near their campus booths to exhibit how crime doesn’t pay. Evidence bags were left around campuses, and students were enticed to bring them to RBC booths to collect a reward. Various items conjuring up visions of the slammer, such as soap-on-a-rope and prison bar decals, were placed around campus to inform students of RBC’s services and get them to sign up.
