Sioo:x Wood: The World's Most Boring Billboard

Sioo:x Wood Protection gives outdoor wood surfaces a beautiful, natural silver-grey hue and keeps them protected for twelve years. It’s also 100% environmentally friendly – which is revolutionary.

But twelve years’ worth of protection is almost too good to be true. Our mission was to prove it is for real. So we created a billboard made from real Sioo:x-treated boards and booked a triple-sided billboard for twelve years in Malmö, Sweden.

Ad-review body tells T-Mobile to drop 'Best Unlimited Network' claim


T-Mobile calls itself “America’s best unlimited network,” but AT&T and the National Advertising Division aren’t buying it.

Zuckerberg's European inquisition more like a European vacation


Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg had his day in European parliament and it went much easier than his appearance in Washington, D.C., last month. (Translation: The format made it easier to evade questions.)

The Facebook CEO was in Brussels, the seat of the European Union’s government, to answer for privacy and data lapses brought to light from the Cambridge Analytica debacle. Cambridge Analytica was the third-party data provider that was allowed to access profiles on up to 87 million Facebook users and their friends, and it has been accused of abusing that data to influence elections in the U.S. and U.K.

Zuckerberg already faced two days of questioning by lawmakers in the U.S., and Tuesday it was the Europeans’ turn to get answers on everything from Facebook’s readiness for new data laws, known as GDPR, to how the platform combats fake news. Here’s how Zuckerberg’s European inquisition went:

Telekom Romania: Vloggers’ Swap

The existence of filter bubbles and echo chambers on social media platforms presents a wide variety of challenges to brands and people interested in reaching a wide audience across political allegiances and cultural divisions. The nature of the web is to reinforce what we already know and like. Algorithms are designed to show us content that aligns with our own predispositions, and people’s historical behavior online tends to prevent them from seeing or accessing material from opposing viewpoints and perspectives. This leads to customized internet experiences for everyone that rarely stray into the unexpected.

Telekom Romania wanted to turn this tendency on its head. As a brand built on sharing content, it worked with Leo Burnett Bucharest to devise an attention-getting stunt that would open up young people’s eyes to communities and perspectives far from their ordinary inclinations. The brand launched Vloggers’ Swap.

Vloggers’ Swap was built on a deep analysis of the data of different Vlog channels on Youtube. LB/Bucharest identified Vlog channels whose audiences did not overlap at all. These groups of young viewers had very little in common, and their viewing habits led them to inhabit very rigid filter bubbles. For one day, Telekom Romania initiated a “swap” of these Vlogs with their polar opposite vlogger, helping to introduce each specific audience to a perspective and vlogger far out of their normal comfort zone. This stunt drew massive interest in Romania, and helped Vlog channels to broaden their appeal to audiences they normally wouldn’t reach.

Launched to coincide with Telekom Romania’s offer of unlimited video, this work serves up a fantastic example of how brands are helping people to build wider audiences in spite of the algorithms that would limit their reach and appeal. By helping millennials to broaden their viewing diet, Telekom Romania is cultivating a younger audience of viewers who cannot be restricted by the constraints of filter bubbles or echo chambers. As Telekom Romania has championed for years, “life is for sharing.”

Budweiser: Break the Silence

Men get together to talk over beers. So we decided to turn these everyday drinking occasions into an opportunity to talk about an everyday issue: sexual harassment.

Using an everyday beer brand, we create special edition cans to shed a light on this disturbingly everyday issue.

Because 1 in 3 women will experience sexual harassment in their lifetime, we use that ratio to inform a new package design for Budweiser. For every six pack of beer, each third can will come equipped with facts that are impossible to ignore. For every pack sold, Budweiser will donate 33% of the proceeds to Times Up.

The Daily News was not entirely distracted by the royal wedding over the weekend


Much of the U.S. media devoted a good chunk of the weekend to celebrating Britain’s fairytale royal wedding. But the New York Daily News made a point of using its Saturday and Sunday covers to draw attention to and contextualize the latest school massacre here in America.

In a story inside Saturday’s paper headlined “This year has been deadlier for American students than American military members,” Chris Sommerfeldt writes,

The frontlines of American warfare are now in America’s classrooms. More people have been murdered in schools so far this year than have been killed while serving in the U.S. military, according to depressing statistics. Accounting for the 10 people shot to death at a Houston-area high school Friday, 31 peoplean overwhelming majority of whom were studentshave been killed at schools since Jan. 1, according to data compiled by the Washington Post. Twenty-nine U.S. service members have been killed in the same timeframe, including both combat and noncombat deaths, according to the Pentagon.
