Oh Henry!: Hunger Detecting Dogs

After Canada legalized weed, more people than ever were experiencing the munchies. Good news for Oh Henry! 4:25, a bar specially formulated for the intense hunger that hits 5 minutes after 4:20. Bad news for many dedicated, longtime stoners who found the bar sold out everywhere, depriving them of a product made specifically for them. To right this wrong, we headed to the Hotbox Cafe for the 4/20 Block Party with a special stash of 4:25 bars that anyone who was actually high could get access to. But we had to be 100% sure. So we created a new line of work for marijuana detector dogs forced into early retirement by legalization.

Sloche / Couche-Tard: The Monsters

Again this year, Havas Montreal was mandated to develop a fresh new campaign for Sloche, Couche-Tard’s popular iced beverage. In fact, Sloche is so popular that we featured monsters that only had eyes for this delicious beverage. Our biggest challenge was to deliver high-quality visuals while keeping within budget. The campaign had to run on several different platforms and formats, so our design had to be flexible in order to accommodate all the variants. We also met the challenge of aligning our creative vision with that of the Shed artists responsible for the creation of the two visuals. We had a very clear idea in mind, and it took a few discussions to find the perfect direction for the project. Both visuals were used on social media (Facebook and Instagram) as well as in stores. Each piece came in different formats adapted to the space available on the various platforms.

To help the charity Simon On The Streets raise awareness to the issue of homelessness we took the iconic heritage blue plaques that usually have information on them that celebrates the fact that someone important lived at the address/building the plaque was fixed to and subverted it by having the information of a homeless person. We then fixed the blue plaques in areas where the homeless people ‘lived’.

Reese's: Extraterrestrial Sampling Program

Thanks to Steven Spielberg’s classic film, Reese’s Pieces are known around the world as the favourite candy of E.T., the Extraterrestrial. Nearly 40 years later, the brand was finally introducing a new edition: Reese’s Pieces Peanut. If anyone needed to hear about it, it was E.T.. Instead of launching our product with a campaign aimed at humans, we reached beyond the stars with an intergalactic campaign designed to get E.T. (and any other intelligent life that may be listening) to phone home and try a free sample of their new favourite candy.

Reese's: Reese The Movie: A Movie About Reese

Since 2018, everyone from Michelob Ultra to KFC has jumped on the ASMR bandwagon, tapping and whispering their way through commercials that borrowed from the ASMR community but gave nothing back.

So we set out to create the last one. Introducing Reese The Movie: A Movie About Reese…An ASMR Experience. An original feature length film that brings 5 of YouTube’s favourite ASMRtists together for the first time, shot by famed Hollywood veteran cinematographer André Turpin.

Synopsis:

Durga Pujo is a time of revelry; it’s a time to let your hair down for 24 hours, be at your dapper best, be at your energetic best. While the festivities officially last for 5 days, people start their countdown at least a 100 days to the festivities.

Get Set Pujo is an on-ground platform before Durga Pujo. It’s meant to capture the ‘frenzied fervour’ that grips peoples’ minds even before Pujo arrives! Get Set Pujo is a platform for hosting friendly competition in order to outdo your friends, relatives and generally anybody in the crowd! And this pre-Pujo fervour has been aptly captured through an illustrated depiction of the gods joining the rat race with a tongue in cheek copy egging people to unleash their festive swagger.

AXA: Reflections

The campaign shows six people with different backgrounds, who want change in their lives but are afraid to talk about it to their loved ones for fear of rejection.

Adam wants to leave his job but he’s never spoken about this project to anyone.
Ginette wants to sing but she keeps it to herself.
Eden took a big decision that changed his life. He never found the opportunity to thank those who supported him.
Fatima wants to get married to her boyfriend but she doesn’t dare to tell him.
Geneva wants to leave her company and start a new life.
Midori has discovered a new side to herself.

We asked them to face up to themselves in a mirror and explain their doubts and fears. But, there’s a twist and their lives will never be the same again. With “Know You Can’, AXA launched a signature that encouraged people to have faith in their goals certain in the knowledge that their partner AXA, was there to help them every step of the way.
