No, Popeyes Isn’t Making Pizza. In Fact, It Wants to Intercept Your Pizza Order

Popeyes has spent the past year poking fun at Chick-Fil-A, first with a snarky tweet (“y’all good?”) and later by promoting its runaway-hit chicken sandwich as being available on Sundays–when all Chick-Fil-A locations are closed.

HOK-Elanto: 294

Directed by Dome Karukoski, “294” is a short documentary on Finnish grocery store staff during the corona crisis in spring 2020. The document was commissioned by HOK-Elanto as a tribute and a show of gratitude towards all professional front line workers who support our everyday lives in stores, healthcare, and other places. This exceptional time and its heroes deserve to get documented.

The title of the documentary, “294” comes from a study commissioned two years ago by Suomen Kuvalehti, where cashiers are considered the 294th most prestigious profession in Finland. Now, coronavirus has put that result into a very strange light. “I salute these people. They keep our lives normal at this abnormal time,” says director Dome Karukoski.

Nike: Create with Air Max

Air Max, a cornerstone of the Nike shoe lineup has been amassing a cult following since 1987. This year in a world first for Nik, AKQA helped Nike Japan give people the opportunity to participate in the creation process of this fan favorite.

Nike Japan released a collaborative ‘zine’ called Create with Air Max allowing sneaker lovers to make their own unique mark on Air Max through an exclusive pilot experience. By scanning a black and white ‘coloring book’ style outline of the new shoe silhouettes, users can customise their own 3D Air Max designs in real-time.

An AR model of each shoe hovers above the page, rendered in real time as the user colors each section of the physical zine pages. The user can then sign their finished design and have it transformed into a unique animation, which can then be shared online or even submitted to Nike as part of the larger editorial campaign.

Conceptualised and developed by AKQA, the zine experience incorporates the best submissions from influencers, and sees them published in a magazine along with influencer interviews, community creations, and the interactive AR creation feature.

The idea was born from the COVID-19 circumstances, which left people largely isolated, and unable to come together as they had prior, but also looking for new ways to explore and express their creativity.
