Adidas: Ready for Sport

Adidas’ latest campaign, ‘Ready For Sport’ has been created with stock footage and existing campaign imagery, with the script read by NYC rapper Princess Nokia, who delivers the powerful “We will ___ again” device. Adidas Instagram stickers have also been created, inviting people to post online about what activity or sport they’re looking forward to experiencing again. The final product aims to rally Adidas’ global audience of vertical and versatile athletes – reminding them just how incredible sport is going to feel when it returns, and therefore how essential it is for us all to be ready. Unlike other current Covid-19 campaigns, ‘Ready For Sport’ aims to be an inspiring and optimistic rallying call for people everywhere to look forward and imagine how incredible sport is going to feel when this is over.

Shapermint Digital Ad - #MakeTheCall

Shapermint, the shapewear company known for its active role in tackling controversial body confidence conversations, has shifted its significant Mother’s Day ad budget away from promoting intimates and toward spreading awareness of a very simple idea: Americans can literally save their moms’ lives by not visiting them this Mother’s Day—no matter how lax social distancing restrictions are. After learning about the surge in COVID-19 cases in the UK following Boris Johnson’s March pleas for people to stay away from their moms over Mother’s Day, Shapermint released a new PSA-style video created entirely from video calls between 6 real-life mothers and daughters. The video, which received more than 8 million views across Instagram, Facebook and influential partners in its first week, is central to Shapermint’s three-week initiative, #MakeTheCall, which seeks to prevent a similar surge. Shapermint and influential partners like Tori Spelling, Kira Girard and more than 100 of its brand ambassadors are urging women to stay socially distant, but emotionally present, via video call. These aren’t just any calls, but those that will safeguard moms by giving daughters across the country a clear vision for how to protect moms—the real shapers—from COVID-19. The campaign will culminate on Mother’s Day, when women across the country #MakeTheCall to their own moms and share on social.

McDonald's: Iftar Sand Clock

Integrated
McDonald’s

Ramadan, the holy month of fasting during the daily hours, starts on the 24th of April. This begins a month where food companies must abstain from showing food in their ads to avoid temptation during fasting. Despite this, McDonald’s Saudi Arabia have created a novel new way to advertise its products without being disrespectful to the Muslim faith.

Turning outdoor McDonald’s Drive-Thru screens into Ramadan Iftar Sand Clocks, falling grains of sand slowly reveal the exact time customers can break their fast. Taking 12 hours for the sand to fall – exactly the period of fasting – the grains of sand come together to form a McDonald’s meal. When the meal is complete, customers are free to order and enjoy it… just in time for Iftar! The Iftar Sand Clock is also running on McDonald’s social media stories, with special promocodes that are only revealed once the sand completely falls. By doing this, it supports their McDelivery operation to increase sales for a quarantined nation.
