Tip Top "Yes Sticks" (2015) 1:50 (New Zealand)

Eating ice cream makes you feel good, so you’re more receptive to saying yes. To prove this, Colenso BBDO New Zealand and Tip Top ice cream made some custom sticks with questions submitted by consumers, hand delivered them, and then watched what happened. The results? 97% of the people who had a Tip Top said yes to whatever question was asked. They increased their reach on social media. And as a challenger brand to Unilever, they took some of the market share, too. Simple idea based on an actual insight? Yup. Still effective. Also, can I just say how awesome Tip Top’s logo and type face is? Nostalgic in all the right places.

Mission 22 "War at home" (2015) 2;23 (USA)

As America celebrates Memorial day by having cookouts and heading to the beach, a few of the more patriotic among us will honor those American soldiers who died in armed conflicts. With a staggering statistic that more soldiers are dying via suicide when they return home, versus on the battlefield, this is a very moving piece of content. David Guttenfelder has spent a decade plus as a conflict reporter. He’s recently started documenting the conflict at home. Switching from images of battlefield horrors, to quieter, more desperate scenarios: the houses and towns where these vets grew up. Heartbreaking.
This piece is done for Mission 22, who have made it their mission to create awareness for vets suffering from PTSD, and end veteran suicide in America.

Help Mission 22 end the War At Home

Mission 22 is a non-profit dedicated to raising awareness about PTSD among returning American vets, and aims to end vet suicide. Together with conflict reporter David Guttenfelder, they’ve documented some of those lives lost.Heartbreaking, powerful work on this Memorial Day Weekend.

FATH – The old man and his dog – (2015) :90 (Argentina)

FATH - The old man and his dog - (2015) :90 (Argentina)
DDB Argentina and Fundación Argentina de Transplante Hepático (FATH) have decided to take back the emotional-ad crown from Thailand, and in 90 seconds only, they tell a beautiful story of animal & man loyalty and love. It’s an old man and his dog who go about their daily routine, they stop for errands, coffee with friends, walk in the park, watch TV and then one day, the man falls ill. Very ill. The ambulance comes and the faithful dog runs after it as it takes the old man to hospital.

The dog then waits outside the hospital. And waits. And waits. Through rain and shine, day and night. Yes, you know what’s happened to the man inside. But did you expect to tear up like that at the end of the ad?
