Koronaoke

It’s been 40 days of quarantine here in Germany, so we decided to celebrate it by creating Koronaoke, a Youtube channel with classic karaoke hits rewritten to get people in the mood for the pandemic times.

Each song approaches a slightly different covid topic, common to all during the lockdown.

“I Love Rock ‘N Roll”, also known as “I ran out of toilet roll” pokes fun of people’s bad behavior on stockpiling and emptying shelves unnecessarily.
“I want it that way” makes reference to the interrupted sex life, experienced by many singles during the isolation period.
And finally “Bohemian Rhapsody”, which reminds people what happens when people don’t stay at home.

Adidas: Level the Playing Field

In the UK, a mere 7% of sports media coverage is women’s sport. How can we expect young girls to keep on playing sports when they hardly see any female athletes in the media? In 2017, a men’s rugby union league match reached a record-breaking 875 000 live viewers in the UK. By letting people donate their Instagram profiles to act as an adidas micro-broadcaster, and thus creating their own crowdsourced media-network with millions of potential viewers, adidas will make a women’s match the most viewed rugby union league match in British history, beating the men’s record. We aim to break the vicious circle of sponsors not wanting to support women’s sport because no broadcasters will show it – and no broadcasters will show it because no sponsors are fuelling money into women’s sport. Therefore we have to take advantage of an innovative use of Instagram to reach our audience.

In March 2020, the United Nations and the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as a global pandemic. Despite this situation, many people still do not abide by the health recommendations that have been issued by government entities to prevent the spread of the virus. During childhood, people were taught to comply with certain hygiene habits such as: hand washing and covering their face at all times to prevent getting sick. However, these simple routine habits are more likely to be fulfilled by children than by adults, because parents often reiterate the importance of these basic behaviors to stay healthy. Therefore, we created innovative ads with different typographic measurements not visible within at least 6 feet of distance to create awareness about mandatory distancing and basic personal hygiene habits based on numbers that not a lot of people have knowledge of.
