Burger King: McDonald's, we are laughin' it

Burger King

Recently attacked by a McDonald’s Belgium outdoor advertising panel near their new restaurant,

BURGER KING® Belgium responded… in their own way! The campaign, visible until August 6, is signed Buzzman.

A few days ago, BURGER KING® Belgium was surprised to discover that McDonald’s Belgium was installing an outdoor advertising panel right next to its new restaurant in Brussels asking customers if they preferred to be “served by a King or served as a King”…

A great opportunity for the King of WHOPPER® to meet his historical competitor, through a giant panel on the front of his new restaurant: “Why try to roast when you can’t even flame grill?”

By playing on the double meaning of the word “roast”, BURGER KING® Belgium reminds McDonald’s Belgium that it’s never a good idea to rib the king of the flame…

With this outdoor advertising, visible until August 6, BURGER KING® Belgium displays what the brand’s fans are looking for, above all: the unique taste of flame-grilled.

Heineken: The Focus

It’s getting harder and harder to focus on just one thing. And when it comes to UEFA Champions League matches, every blink could be crucial. Heineken decided to find and reward the most concentrated fans by challenging them to a stare-down with one of the most cool-headed football players — Andrea Pirlo. We created a website that tests the concentration of each visitor in a battle with Pirlo himself. Using AI-powered face tracking technology, we detected the movement of each player’s eyes, both on desktop and mobile devices. Those who managed to withstand Pirlo’s stare the longest without blinking or looking away won a ticket for an exclusive screening of the Final.

Girls Leadership: #MyVoiceMyPower

Around the ages of 11-13, from being strong confident females, who are outspoken about their achievements and opinions, girls suddenly fall silent. Research that shows that around this age, girls experience a huge decrease in body satisfaction, confidence and voice which can carry through their adulthood. Girls Leadership equip young girls with the skills to exercise the power of their voice. So they can know, respect and express themselves. Helping them to navigate and shape their world. The campaign united girls and women on and off the screen in both their vulnerability and strength. Featuring first-person interviews from 40 real women, between the ages of 13-83, who had never met before, we explored what voice meant to them and the effect it’s had on their lives. The result was an empowering 2 minutes and 43 seconds campaign that united women on and off the screen in both their vulnerability and strength. From moments where these courageous women struggled to find the words to express their pain to times when their words of courage emboldened others, their powerful stories speak for themselves. And encourage women to share their own stories with the hashtag #MyVoiceMyPower.
