Emirates NBD The PRIDE Program: Perspectives


Media
Emirates NBD

Emirates NBD invited people in the UAE to a special art exhibition called ‘Perspectives’ showcasing exclusively curated work created by upcoming artists. We conducted a live auction in conjunction with Auction House, where patrons could own those works of art. We then gave them the opportunity to meet the talented artists. And the surprise they experienced was something they were not expecting. This experiment’s video is the first step in a nationwide program called PRIDE – People Receiving Independence and Dignity through Empowerment. The program is meant to educate, develop, empower and integrate special needs children into society and help open the eyes of people around that these children can be able members of the community.

Everything You Never Want to Hear in a Radio Ad, in Two Very Funny Videos

Jim Elliott, the new global chief creative officer of Arnold Worldwide, and voiceover artist Paul Guyet made these two amusing videos (in what looks like Michael’s house from GTA5) explaining how to win a 2015 Radio Mercury Award—by demonstrating all the terrible radio ad clichés that will guarantee failure.

Elliott (who’s also the chief Mercury judge this year) even has a “NO” button to make his disapproval absolutely clear. Guyet is clearly having a ball with his impressions, and some of them are frighteningly accurate. Yes, nightclub ads really do sound that rapey.

The side effects portion of video No. 1 introduced the phrase “anal snoring” to my lexicon, which I consider a plus. Video No. 2 is more of the same, with Elliott and Guyet taking on AutoTune, bad writing and yelling, and long website URLs.

After all this, I’d be interested to hear what they like about radio advertising, because the tropes these videos are crapping on represent about 99 percent of it. Hey guys, how about some examples of what wins a Mercury?

Submissions are being accepted now through April 6 for this year’s Radio Mercury Awards. Enter at RadioMercuryAwards.com.
