73% of all Canadian workers and students aged 20 to 64 have been reported as victims of stress to varying degrees. This campaign is propelled by the insight that the target audience’s essential appetite for achievement in the 21st century is starving them of peace-of-mind. The idea is that Headspace, a guided meditation app to improve various aspects of personal and professional life, can offer the much-needed zen in the hustle and bustle of the modern age.

Sony Music / NCUCAI: The Music Video You Can't See

SONY Music worked together with Argentina’s leading organ donor organization NCUCAI and agency Wunderman Thompson Argentina to create a music video that you can’t see – to highlight the cause of those with eye diseases who are awaiting cornea transplant. The aim is to get more people to plan to donate their corneas (after death).

The video can only be seen on mobile devices if it is aimed at the eyes of another person. If you don’t aim it directly at another person’s eyes, you can’t see it. SONY, very cleverly offered one of their most popular music artists, Dante Spinetta, to work on this – someone who EVERYONE wants to see.

Early Thursday morning, France woke up to an incredible video – Kim Kardashian herself had posted a story about her and Kanye ordering at a kiosk in a central Parisian KFC (Strasbourg-St.Denis). Stars. They really are just like us.

A few hours later, KFC France paid homage to their visit with a tweet featuring a bucket and the lyric, “Me and my girl split the buffet at KFC”, from Kanye’s song “Touch the Sky”. The song was included in the Bucket Bangers Spotify playlist KFC and Sid Lee Paris put together last year, which featured songs mentioning the fast food brand.

Soon, the whole world was infatuated with the video, and fans have already started flocking to the Strasbourg St-Denis KFC location. At 6 pm Thursday evening, a commemorative plaque was erected on the kiosk the Wests used in the presence of the employees who served them, making it a new site of pilgrimage for Kimye fans and chicken lovers. Organised by Sid Lee Paris, the response serves as a reminder of just how deeply rooted KFC is in pop culture.

Barnardo's: Komodo

The advert is designed to shine a spotlight on Barnardo’s tireless work; every year they support thousands of children and young people who have been sexually abused and exploited. This crucial work wouldn’t be possible without the support of the public.

The Komodo Dragon represents the feelings of abuse the young girl has suffered. Using an animal as a metaphor keeps the focus on the child at the heart of the story and allows the audience to connect with the feelings she is experiencing. It also allowed us to avoid depicting an abuser in a particular way; adults who sexually abuse children come from all walks of life. The powerful and indifferent way the dragon moves in the film is a reflection of how helpless and vulnerable she is; it helps to give a singular focus to her story and experience.

McDonald’s

When it comes to using mobile ordering to get fast food, Quebecers are behind the rest of Canada—it’s simply not one of their habits. So, McDonald’s wanted to promote its mobile ordering to show how easily a cell phone, via the My McD’s app, allows users to be two clicks away from picking up their favourite fast food. Using a trompe-l’oeil effect, we discover three first-person points of view where a Quarter Pounder, a McMuffin and a McCafé have never been both so real and so virtual at the same time.
