On / World Refugee Day: Run

Run. That’s what refugees do. Their race starts with the sound of a gun, not a starter pistol. They run from burning villages and away from danger. Now, a group of athletes are running for the right to represent the 71 million displaced people in the world today.

To mark Saturday’s World Refugee Day, On – the Swiss sportswear company – has launched and co-produced an epic documentary feature to commemorate the millions of forcibly displaced people worldwide.

The story follows the legendary Kenyan athlete, Tegla Loroupe, as she mentors a group of talented athlete refugees on their arduous road to the (now cancelled) 2020 Tokyo Games. The Athlete Refugee Team has been captured in an emotionally charged documentary feature, considered to be the first production of its kind. A shattered dream, with an unexpected twist.

Filmed over a three-year period, across eight countries in three different continents – ‘RUN’ is a story of unwavering human spirit, empowerment and fearless bravery by a group of athlete refugees from the Congo, Ethiopia, Somalia and South Sudan. These athletes have been running from tribal gangs and civil war since they were children. Over the years, they have suffered trauma on an unimaginable scale and trained barefoot on dust-filled roads or in their own backyards as residents of the UN refugee camps.

Cineplex: Balcony cinema

After three months of temporary closures, Cineplex is reopening its theatres in all markets where it is permitted by local governments as early as the end of the month. In an effort to build anticipation and remind movie-lovers of the power of shared experiences and storytelling (while observing the important rules of physical distancing), Zulu Alpha Kilo and Cineplex decided to bring the fun that comes from a night out at the movies to the windows and balconies of Torontonians.

In addition to bringing the small community together, the movie-screening event included a donation drive, with proceeds going to Food Banks Canada. Since the pandemic began, Cineplex has been bringing the theatre experience straight to Canadians’ living rooms through the Cineplex Store. Through SkipTheDishes and UberEats, it’s famous popcorn and delicious eats from The Rec Room are available for home delivery, and the company has proudly donated $1 for every order to Food Banks Canada.

Leveraging a 40-foot wall as the theatre backdrop, residents at a condo building on Bay Street were able to view a screening of ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ from the comfort of their own balconies – all while enjoying the excitement that typically comes with attending the movies in-person. The audio was shared through a select FM channel and Cineplex popcorn was delivered to the viewers through SkipTheDishes. Instead of coming attractions, the movie was preceded by a specially recorded message from Canadian actor Jay Baruchel, who stars as Hiccup in the movie.

Durex: #Happyfathersday

Durex Digital Ad - #Happyfathersday

Fatherhood can turn a man’s world upside u?op. Given the occasion of Father’s Day, we wanted to portray this radical change in a memorable and experiential way. But how do you do that within a brand whose main USP is contraception? How can you stand for both parenthood and condom use, at the same time? First off, we chose our main target group – smartphone users. Then, we utilized the unique nature of ambigrams. These are words that can be read both upright and upside-down. By using a special calligraphy font, we managed to make the word PROTECT read FATHER, when flipped around. To finish off our social post, we even wrote the copy out of it upside down! The end result was an “interactive” post that triggered the attention of viewers and made them turn their devices 180° to reveal the whole message. Moral of the story? Become a father ¡?p??? ??,no? u??? Until then, protect yourself! #happyfathersday
