SickKids campaign rallies community to come together to support children’s health “Together We Will” emphasizes strength in unity Picture this: A four year old leukemia patient braving the MRI table for his next scan. A newborn in an isolet hooked up to oxygen. A child being rushed to the emergency department by ambulance. A dad cradling his baby in a rocking chair in the baby’s hospital room. A teenage cancer patient in her bedroom putting on her wig. A mom and her son doing crafts in a hospital playroom in between his treatments.

These are just some of the scenes portrayed in a new marketing campaign for The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) set to launch November 12 for six weeks through to December 31, leading up to the busiest giving season of the year. The campaign is centred on the tagline “Together We Will” and emphasizes the strength of a community coming together to help improve children’s health. SickKids staff, patients and families featured in the ads help capture the strength, compassion and determination that makes the hospital an incredible place to the thousands of families who rely on it each year.

The creative concept is brought to life with a focus on the breadth of people it takes to help a sick child, both at home and at SickKids. Set to the emotional lyrics of Roy Orbison’s You Got It, the television spots feature children, youth and their parents together with SickKids staff in real hospital settings singing along to “…anything you want… you got it… baby.” The spot closes with the caption: We’ll do anything for them. But we can’t do it alone. Together We Will.

Twelve patient ambassadors aged 17 months to 17 years old from throughout Ontario, with conditions ranging from brittle bone disease to organ transplants and various childhood cancers, are featured in the campaign. Although many of them are in active treatment, these young patients muster all of their energy to sing along and lend their help to inspire people to support the hospital through donations.

“These scenes capture some of the most poignant moments between a child and their parents or their medical team, reflecting the family-centred care approach at SickKids,” says Ted Garrard, President and CEO, SickKids Foundation. “This campaign truly illustrates the lengths to which staff and families will go, together, to help improve and save children’s lives. Families know they can count on the multidisciplinary medical teams at the hospital when their children need them. This holiday season we need the community’s support to help SickKids continue to be there for anything our patients need, now and in the future.”

In keeping with the spirit of a community joining forces to help children who need life-saving medical care, a mural featuring leukemia patient Hunter Kemp, 5, and a sampling of 19 representatives from his SickKids circle of care will be installed at Dundas subway station. In the mural, Hunter is joined by his family and his extended SickKids family who have been there for him throughout his cancer treatment, including everyone from his nurse and oncologist to his Child Life Specialist and psychologist. Hospital President and CEO Mary Jo Haddad is also featured. The mural symbolizes the group of people who come together when a child is seriously ill and bears the caption: Together We Will. No Matter How Many of us it Takes. The mural is the focal point of a subway station domination which also includes branded wrapped pillars, stairs and turnstiles.

The ‘Together We Will’ theme is also integrated with the print campaign which features patients photographed with either a parent or someone from their SickKids medical team with aspirational claims of what can be achieved together with community support. Together We Will Make a Hospital Feel Nothing Like a Hospital and Together We Will Search for Answers are examples of how the print campaign aims to inspire people to help SickKids achieve its vision to advance children’s health in Toronto and around the world.

Elements of the campaign include mass marketing with television, print and out-of-home advertising including a branded domination at Dundas subway station and at 10 Dundas St. E., elevator wraps in 35 buildings and presence on 110 elevator screens throughout buildings in downtown Toronto. A: 60 second television spot is the focus of the campaign, with supporting 15-second spots, print ads and digital banner ads. The 60-second spot will run before every movie in six Cineplex theatres in the Greater Toronto Area.

There is also a digital component called SickKids Free Movie Day. People can help fill a virtual theatre online at www.sickkidsfoundation.com/together to send SickKids kids on an exclusive movie experience this holiday season. Cineplex will provide a complimentary movie screening for young patients who are healthy enough to attend the theatre in the new year.

The campaign website will go live on November 9 at www.sickkidsfoundation.com/together and will feature the 60-second television commercial and patient stories. People who wish to support SickKids can donate by visiting the Together We Will campaign website.

The Together We Will concept, creative and digital development was handled by JWT and media planning and buying was handled by Maxus. Partners Film produced the television spots, directed by Kathi Prosser, and photography for the print campaign was done by award winning photographer and filmmaker Mark Zibert.

Scion and global creative agency ATTIK are literally putting the pedal to the metal in the youth-focused automotive brand's national cross-media launch campaign for the all-new, 200hp, rear-wheel drive 2013 Scion FR-S sports coupe. Today, the brand and agency executives are very proud to detail their new "Driving is Back" campaign, which is currently debuting numerous advertising placements across the country. "Scion is extremely excited about the launch of the FR-S," said Jack Hollis, Vice President, Scion. "The rear-wheel drive sports car is the brand's halo car that pound-for-pound and dollar-for-dollar, is igniting the passions of a whole new group of driving enthusiasts.

Together with our partners at ATTIK, we are absolutely thrilled to kick-off the campaign inviting everyone to rediscover the fun of driving with the FR-S." "In this campaign, the radical new FR-S itself is first and foremost," began ATTIK co-founder and executive creative director Simon Needham. "To us, there are very few exciting cars out there that are also practical on some level… and the FR-S gets great gas mileage while maximizing performance. So naturally, our campaign demonstrates the power and handling of this amazing car – most often in the hands of drifting champ and renowned racing driver Ken Gushi, who drove the car in many of the exciting driving scenes. Across every campaign facet, our overall goals are to excite, inspire, drive people to explore the FR-S online and get them into dealerships and behind the wheel." The "Driving is Back" campaign was conceived by ATTIK's creative director Ron Lim, art director Mike Cornell and copywriter Andy Sciamanna, and its out-of-home elements are now live in 40 locations in 26 major U.S. markets.
Today, the first of three: 30 spots will break… not only on young adult-targeted cable outlets where viewers are accustomed to seeing Scion ads, but also via NBCU syndication, and on NBC, Fox and every major sports network. First comes "Bringing the Sport Back to the Car," which will begin and end a three-month TV buy. Different campaign spots will appear between June 25 and August 5, and more video ads (all commercials and videos were directed by Needham) will run on the brand's social media channels and website well into September. In print, the first spreads will begin to appear mid-June in Sports Illustrated, Maxim, Motor Trend, and Men's Journal, among many others. Banner placements are also blanketing most standard and some new targets for the brand starting today. "Since the FR-S is Scion's biggest push into the sport coupe market yet, we wanted to extend our reach beyond our typical media channels," Lim explained. "This car already has a lot of buzz around it, and we are aiming to build on that excitement. Of course, television is still a powerful mass medium. We also chose mainstream automotive pubs for the first time. Our campaign is much heavier in details than usual as well. We're psyched about our specs and so are the automotive tastemakers; it was important to reach enthusiasts this time out. Andy and Mike really sold the experience of driving the FR-S." Lim also shared insights into some of the more innovative media tactics the campaign will introduce in July. "We're also using smartphone apps to invite readers to watch the FR-S in action through Digimarc codes embedded in the print. Using their smart phones, consumers will be able to peek under the hood of the FR-S and see it in action. This is a great way to feature the very emotional driving experience within a static print ad." According to Lim, Scion and ATTIK chose Digimarc technology due to its successful integration with the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue earlier this year, citing its track record, its powerful security features, and its ability to seamlessly present video as part of the agency's print ad, which is entitled Video Test Drive. That ad is scheduled to run in the July 9 issue of Sports Illustrated. Finally, Scion's and ATTIK's executives are also putting the finishing touches on a powerful iAd that will appear in targeted apps for the iPhone and iPad and allow viewers to view videos and explore more features of the FR-S in amazing detail.
The brand and agency once again have many leading technology, creative, production and post-production partners to thank for their campaign contributions. Among those are commercial production company Blueyed Pictures, editorial company Lost Planet, CGI/VFX company Brewster Parsons, and music company Squeak E. Clean Productions. For ATTIK, additional credits include senior broadcast producer Patty Lum and senior account manager Michelle O'Hea, to name but a few.

A behind-the-scenes look at pulling together one of the most complex, ambitious and beautiful body paint photos you've ever seen. FIAT Brand North America unveils a one-of-a-kind print ad this week when it debuts “Body Paint” in this year’s annual ESPN The Magazine’s Body Issue. The visually stunning print ad features more than a dozen female artists, models and contortionists to recreate the image of a Fiat 500 Abarth Cabrio. The annual edition of ESPN The Magazine’s Body Issue (07/22) will be on newsstands starting Wed., July 10.

“‘Body Paint’ allowed us to take part in a unique collaboration with a multinational sports company that connects the FIAT brand with sports and car enthusiasts across the globe,” said Olivier Francois, Chief Marketing Officer, Chrysler Group LLC, and Fiat Group Automobiles Head of Fiat Brand.

“Our ideal execution is when a client creates an ad that works so well within the context of our environment,” said Eric Johnson, ESPN executive vice president, multimedia sales. “Not only is this a creative win, it thematically ties in perfectly with ESPN The Magazine’s annual Body Issue.”

"We wanted to create a concept for ESPN The Magazine's Body Issue that was as visually unique as the Fiat 500 Abarth Cabrio," said Jason Stoicevich, Head of FIAT Brand North America. "The notion of the 'Body Paint' print ad conveying athletic grace in a magazine that specifically devotes itself to covering athletes around the world sparked a perfect union for the FIAT Brand."

National Geographic Channels International has partnered with The Corner to create a global TV and print campaign for the launch of its two new series The ’80s. The Decade That Made Us and ’80s Greatest. The two series are an epic roller-coaster ride that offers an inside look at the political, technological, cultural and social revolution that created our modern world.

Using one of the most iconic puzzles of the 1980s, the Rubik’s Cube, as a storytelling device, the TV trailer highlights different images of world-changing innovations in the 80s, such as the internet, hip hop and mobile phones through the cube. In the spot, the cube is being masterfully played by UK Rubik’s Cube ‘3x3x3 One Handed’ champion Simon Crawford.

A Rubik’s Cube is also the centerpiece of a print campaign which juxtaposes 21st century and 80s images to show the evolution of the iPod and Spotify, and the fall of the Berlin Wall.

The 60-second TV ad launches this month all over the world together with an extensive multimedia campaign.

Emanuele Madeddu, Vice President of Creative and Consumer Marketing for NGCI, said: “In reacquainting viewers with the riveting moments of the 1980s, National Geographic Channel’s new series illustrate how the 80s truly shaped the way we live today – minus the shoulder pads. To capture this contemporary take on a decade that holds a unique wonder for viewers around the globe, The Corner and our in-house team developed a clean, strong concept with a clever and thoroughly modern execution.”

Tom Ewart, Founding Partner at The Corner, commented: “Sometimes the simple ideas are the best. Taking the ultimate 80s icon, the Rubik’s Cube, and using it to tell the story of ten dramatic years that changed our world, has created something wholly relevant and compelling.”

‘The ’80s. The Decade That Made Us’ airs in the UK on Sunday May 12th at 8pm on National Geographic Channel.

The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF) and DARE are launching an emotive new national campaign across TV, print, radio and online, to drive participation in the annual Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure being held this year on Sunday, October 6.

The new campaign was born through a strategic planning process, built on a compelling goal: with the support of the community, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation will realize its vision of creating a future without breast cancer.

While CBCF’s vision is a clear one, previous Run marketing campaigns had taken a retrospective view, in memory of those who have struggled with the disease. DARE saw the need to re-focus on the central mission, making clear that the CIBC Run for the Cure is a step towards change for the future of women across Canada. The resulting campaign was thus developed around the strategic territory of “Running for the Future” – a future without breast cancer.

The creative, developed by DARE`s Executive Creative Director Paul Little, brought this strategic insight to life using the simple yet powerful concept of children telling us who they are running for in the future. Whether a daughter, wife or granddaughter who might be diagnosed with breast cancer, the campaign highlights that it is a future that they shouldn’t have to face, if we continue to raise funds and work toward finding a cure for breast cancer.

The TV executions, shot by Philistine, which is currently directors Tim Godsall and Steven Diller from OPC //FS, each focus on one story told by a child of the future person they are running for, while the print, shot by Melodie McDaniel from Brydges Mackinney, shows the simple line of who the children are running for in the future.

Chris Burke, Senior Manager, Event Marketing at CBCF, explains, “All charities, particularly health and cancer charities, are facing the challenge of a more crowded, sophisticated and competitive marketing environment. For CBCF, that’s comes against the backdrop of some great achievements in recent years. In 2012, it was estimated that 88 percent of women diagnosed with breast cancer will be alive five years after diagnosis, a 10 percent increase in the survival rate since 1987. This campaign reframes the discussion; making the cause relevant to everyone again and making people realize that this is still very much a cause that they should do something about, for women now and in the future.”

"We wanted to switch things up this year” adds DARE ECD Paul Little. "We wanted a different kind of logic that would make people really think about why they should participate in this event. The unfortunate reality is that breast cancer is harsh, but reminding us of that in a heavy handed ad isn't new. We wanted to surprise people and help them feel motivated by this initiative again.”
The national campaign consists of four 30 second TV commercials (3 in English and 1 in French), five print pieces, 2 radio spots and online banners. It also features strong social media elements, to extend the relationship with participants well before and beyond Run day. This includes a Facebook App that helps people submit their reasons for participating, creating shareable content to encourage people to support their friends who are getting involved.

The campaign will be in market from June 3rd 2013 through to run day on Sunday, October 6, 2013. For more information or to sign up to participate, please visit www.runforthecure.com.

The Recording Academy® and TBWA\Chiat\Day have teamed for the sixth year to promote the 55th Annual GRAMMY Awards® with the ad campaign "#TheWorldIsListening." The 55th Annual GRAMMY Awards (www.grammy.com) will be held on Sunday, Feb. 10, 2013, at the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles and will be broadcast live in HDTV and 5.1 surround sound on the CBS Television Network.

"Slammed Door" featuring Rihanna above and below is "Soundcheck" with The Black Keys and voiceover by Dr. John

"#TheWorldIsListening" campaign features both established and up-and-coming artists across a variety of print, out-of-home and digital communications, as well as three TV commercials. The first commercial, "Slammed Door," tells five-time GRAMMY® winner and current nominee Rihanna's story. The second commercial, "The World is Listening," features artists including the Kills, Snoop Lion and Taylor Swift alongside emerging artists such as Grace Potter, Kishi Bashi and Dam-Funk. Two-time GRAMMY winners and current nominees the Black Keys will appear in the forthcoming commercial titled "Soundcheck."

At the heart of this year's "#TheWorldIsListening" campaign is a newly created Web site, www.grammyamplifier.com, which allows musicians to share their tracks via SoundCloud for a chance to have their music tweeted out by a panel of musical icons, including Linkin Park, RZA, and Snoop Lion. While social media has given musicians more ways to share their sounds than ever before, the online music space is increasingly fragmented. As a result, it gets more difficult for emerging artists to be discovered. "#TheWorldIsListening" campaign and the GRAMMY Amplifier aims to help solve this problem by exposing new artists through social platforms — with the ultimate goal of discovering artists with the potential to be the next generation of GRAMMY winners..

"This year's campaign highlights the raw emotion and desire of the artist's journey, and is amplified via social media in order to draw more music fans into an engaged music conversation," said Evan Greene, Chief Marketing Officer of The Recording Academy.

Patrick Condo, Creative Director, TBWA\Chiat\Day, said, "Sure, the music industry embraces fame — but music always comes first. From RZA to Rihanna, to the young girl taking her first piano lesson, it's their passion for the craft that will, ultimately, lead them to the public and then fame. This year's campaign celebrates this passion and the talent as burgeoning artists embark on that quest for fame."

All of the campaign materials prominently feature the hashtag #TheWorldIsListening, a first in GRAMMY history and a testament to the role of social media with regard to the GRAMMY telecast. In February 2012, the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards generated more than 13 million social media comments making it the biggest social media event in the history of television at the time.

We all know where our favorite bottle of the bubbly comes from right? Champagne, France of course, and for those of you who didn't know that, the Champagne Bureau in the USA hopes to reclaim it's name and remind consumers of it's true and only origins with a new ad campaign. The first print ad “Maine lobster from Kansas” is a gentle reminder and to the point, created by ad agency Creature.

Full press release below, visit www.champagne.us for more.

Champagne Only Comes From Champagne, Reaffirms New Ad Campaign

Campaign Highlights Importance of Knowing Products’ True Geographic Origins
WASHINGTON – The Champagne Bureau, USA, representing the growers and houses of Champagne, today launched a new national advertising campaign as part of a large-scale effort to reclaim its name in the U.S. marketplace. Champagne, the sparkling wine of legends, can only come from the unique region of Champagne, France, where centuries of experience with specific soils and climate have enabled the people to develop a tradition and expertise that makes all the difference. The ad campaign is designed to remind consumers of the unique role location plays in creating their wines and to tap into growing American consumer interest in geographic origin. Posing questions like “Maine Lobster from Kansas?” the ad reminds consumers of the importance of authenticity and of knowing products’ true origins.

The ad, which will appear in print, outdoor and digital formats and can be seen at www.champagne.us,
highlights the gap between American consumers’ growing desire to know the true origins of their purchases
and persistent legal loopholes that create confusion about where certain products actually originate. The
campaign reminds consumers that Champagne only comes from Champagne, France, just as Napa Valley wines come from Napa Valley and Maine Lobster from Maine.

“More than ever before, U.S. consumers are seeking information about how and where their wine and other
goods are produced,” said Sam Heitner, director of the Champagne Bureau, USA. “This campaign uses humor and well understood U.S. location based products to encourage consumers to take a moment and consider the authenticity of what they are buying. U.S. consumers are savvy and this reminds them to say ’of course not‘ when faced with products that lack authenticity and to seek out products that come from unique places like Champagne from Champagne, France, Maine lobsters from Maine and Napa Valley wines from Napa Valley, California.”

The ad highlights a legal loophole in federal law that allows a few U.S. sparkling wine producers to mislead
consumers by labeling their products “Champagne” even though they do not originate from Champagne,
France. In December 2006, Congress passed legislation banning the future misuse of 16 wine place names, including Champagne. While that seemed a step in the right direction, the legislation did not address the
grandfathering of labels currently misusing Champagne’s name and those of 15 other wine regions.

Unfortunately, almost half of the bottles in stores and restaurants still misuse the Champagne name, which
makes the grandfathering particularly problematic for consumers who want authentic Champagne.
The United States is one of the last industrialized countries in the world to fail to adequately protect the
Champagne name. In fact, the majority of the world’s countries, including the European Union, China, and a
growing number of other wine-producing countries from Australia to Chile reserve the Champagne name for
sparkling wines from Champagne, France. A bottle with the term “California Champagne” or “American
Champagne” cannot be sold in Mexico and, come Jan 1, 2014, will not be able to be sold in Canada. In this
area, the United States is out of step with the majority of truth-in-labeling laws.

The campaign uses light-hearted examples such as “Maine lobster from Kansas,” but the practice of
misappropriating the names of other places is a trend that faces many regions, and it has the potential of
misleading the consumer. “Truth-in-labeling is a very important issue for U.S. consumers and for the Maine Lobster community,” said Marianne LaCroix, acting executive director at the Maine Lobster Council. “We continue to see restaurants and retailers advertising Maine lobster, yet serving lobsters that are from other places. We are proud to stand with Champagne to remind U.S. consumers to know where their products come from and not stand for those who mislead.”

“Napa Valley wines come from Napa Valley and Champagne comes from Champagne, France. These are
important facts that consumers need to be able to believe in when they see these names on wine labels,” said
Linda Reiff, executive director of the Napa Valley Vintners. “Unfortunately we all have to fight to protect our
names as some seek to profit off them by deceiving consumers. We are honored to be a part of Champagne's advertising campaign and hope it encourages consumers to demand more truthful and accurate wine labeling.”

The ads will appear in a wide range of print and digital formats including placements in The New Yorker, Food & Wine, and Travel + Leisure as well as on billboards in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Washington, DC and online on a wide variety of sites including New York Times.com, Vanity Fair, GQ and the Wall Street Journal.

ABSOLUT, one of the world's most iconic brands is set apart by its collaborations with unique artistic minds. Bharti Kher uses "bindi" as a metaphor for the third eye and its constant search for truth, creating something truly ABSOLUT, and with that we get another great print ad for Absolut Vodka.

To commemorate La-Z-Boy's 85th anniversary, the campaign includes a TV commercial promoting a national sales event. "We're excited about this promotional spot and feel it's the perfect time to invite customers to come see our collection of customizable home furnishings, including sofas, sectionals, ottomans and more," said Doug Collier, Chief Marketing Officer and President International at La-Z-Boy. "The anniversary commercial celebrates our 85-year history by having a little fun with Brooke and poking some fun at ourselves, while showing our beautiful and unexpected home furnishings."

La-Z-Boy's agency of record, RPA, teamed with @radical.media Director Dave Meyers to create four TV commercials, a pair of online videos, four national print ads and other digital content.

The first TV commercial, which started airing in early August, "Big Deal/Anniversary Sale," opens on Shields in the midst of an elegantly decorated living room, calmly discussing La-Z-Boy's 85th anniversary sale. "Eighty-five years, that's a really big deal," she says. "They don't need some loud ad that screams 'sale!'- just me telling you about the great deals on gorgeous furniture." Just then, horns trumpet, balloons drop from the ceiling and a nine-foot tall flashing sign lit up with "85th Anniversary Sale" slides across the set. "Guys, I thought we weren't doing this?" Shields asks with a confused yet playful and cheeky tone.

"For a household name, Brooke maintains a down-to-earth, relatable persona that's genuinely approachable," said RPA CD Jules Fox. "The situational humor used in the campaign plays on Brooke's lighthearted personality and appeals to the sensibilities of our target audience."

"Shut Up" introduces an incredulous neighbor who yells "Shut up!" and punches Shields every time she learns that a new piece of furniture came from La-Z-Boy, inspiring the spooked spokeswoman to begin replying to her inquiries via text message from a safe location. Late 2012, the TV campaign continues with "Elephant," which demonstrates the advantages of previewing purchases with La-Z-Boy's online customization tool and stars a life-sized computer-generated elephant, and later "Neighbor" will air featuring a binocular-wielding snoop who cannot fathom the beautiful living room is all made by La-Z-Boy.

The TV commercials will run on more than 30 cable networks in the U.S. and Canada, including HGTV, Food Network, Lifetime, Oxygen and USA. Two online videos, a Q&A with Shields where the actress talks openly about working with La-Z-Boy and a flipbook, which rapidly cascades through La-Z-Boy-designed rooms, will live on http://www.la-z-boy.com/. Print will appear in a variety of publications such as "Better Homes & Gardens," "Country Living" and "Martha Stewart Living" and online units will run as pre-roll or banners.

The immersive world of PS3 is brought to life in the fantasy fairground setting depicted in the ‘Family Day Out’ TV commercial, which sits at the heart of the new campaign.

As a family arrives and tours the entertainment stalls, different family members explore rich, interactive experiences demonstrating the proposition that PS3 provides "a world of endless family fun".

By directly referencing a variety of entertainment and gaming experiences available on the platform – from motion control games on Sports Champions 2, and HD movies on demand such as Ice Age 4, to new ways of playing on Wonderbook and games for everyone such as Little Big Planet Karting, the ad also underlines the promise that PS3 brings the family together – whatever their particular interest or taste.

The accompanying print execution invites mums to enter the world of PS3 by visiting playstation.com/family to discover and learn more about the different features the console offers. Digital creative draws on elements of both the TV and print work to further drive traffic online.

“With a world of gaming and entertainment titles, this campaign for PlayStation 3 takes a unique take on play, igniting the imagination of our audience to discover a range of new experiences as a family” says Al Moseley, Executive Creative Director at 180 Amsterdam.

The campaign began airing on December 7 in the UK where it will run until the end of the year, will also be seen in Ireland, Poland, Austria, Russia, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Belgium and the Netherlands.

What could be better than a new TV ad that features the original 1981 song Rapture by Blondie? How about a few dozen little people dancing in a glass of Baileys Cream with Spirit?

Tire company Goodyear launches its new summer tire EfficientGrip Performance with an unusual marketing idea. The paddlewheel of Hamburg's famous steamboat "Louisiana Star" was covered with a special design that transforms it into an almost 7 meter high tire. The paddle wheel-tire was seen in the Port of Hamburg and on the river Elbe.
The giant paddle wheel-tire in Hamburg was created by German advertising agency Leo Burnett.

Since 1999 the luxury liner is one of the major attractions in the Port of Hamburg. To the huge number of visitors, its paddlewheel communicates instantly that the Efficient Grip Performance offers the perfect grip when wet. The printed air duct sheet, which is mounted on the paddle wheel, is car-wash-resistant. It covers 100 m2 of Alucobond-panels. The whole construction design weighs 400 kg. Its surface has a diameter of nearly seven meters, which means it has the height of a multi-story house.

The giant paddle wheel-tire in Hamburg was created by German advertising agency Leo Burnett. The Frankfurt based agency also developed the new Goodyear campaign. The claim "Made to feel good" addresses the consumer in a more emotional way. "This
unusual advertising platform complements our classic print campaign we designed for the new product," says Fabian Schreiber, Marketing Manager at Goodyear.

During this weekend, the Goodyear paddle wheel steamer will be — as usual — available for round trips on the inland waters of Hamburg.

Responsible for this campaign at Goodyear is Fabian Schreiber (Marketing Manager Goodyear).

Credits: at Leo Burnett are Andreas Pauli (Chief Creative Officer), Daniela Ewald (Creative Director), Jörg Hoffmann (Creative Director), Benjamin Merkel (Senior Copywriter), Helge Kniess (Senior Art Director), Sabrina Lienig (Layouter), Philipp Müller-Scheessel (Account Supervisor), Leonie Schüssler (Junior Account Manager), Christiane Simshäuser (Projektmanagement), Netti Weber (Senior Print Production Manager), Katrin Kester (Head of Public Relations).

Integrated campaign brings GE Monogram to Canadian travelers
via enRoute and Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounges

Press: Toronto – March 4, 2014 – GE Monogram is proud to announce their partnership with EnRoute, Air Canada’s inflight travel magazine, for a new integrated content series highlighting notable chefs and food personalities in Canada. This is part of a broad initiative with Spafax – an international leader in content marketing and custom publishing. The upcoming campaign titled ‘GE Monogram Presents The Chef Series,’ will run across several platforms with the goal of providing rich content to consumers in transit.

The integrated campaign will include a print component in the spring and fall issues of enRoute, featuring a series of seven full page editorials known as “The Chef Series,” which will present a distinct interview with a chef or food personality. The campaign’s video element will involve award winning chef interviews shot in a GE Monogram kitchen space. The video series will air on Air Canada’s inflight video systems during the fall, but is also scheduled to air on the Food and Documentary channels. Both the print and video series will live online at enroute.aircanada.com for the duration of the campaign, where users can experience content as it’s published.

To complement the campaign, GE Monogram will hold a contest in August for Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge guests in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver airports, whereby GE Monogram displays will be set up, inviting lounge guests to enter for a chance to win two tickets to enRoute’s 2014 “Canada’s Best New Restaurant” event held in Toronto in November 2014, including return flight and accommodations.
