Kvibille Cheese: Wax on or wax off?

Kvibille Cheese Integrated Ad - Wax on or wax off?

Glimpse into the world of a true cheese master!

Kvibille is one of Swedens most beloved cheese brands, with a history dating back to 1928. The Kvibille dairy is the pride of the area, located by the beautiful Swedish west coast shores. Famous not only for their delicious handcrafted cheeses but also for the passionate staff, especially the knowledgeable and dignified cheese masters. So this year the current cheese master Roland is the face of the new campaign promoting a new launch; an updated version of the iconic Kvibille waxed edge cheddar. A Swedish favorite now also available without the wax, for easier everyday use. So with the help of his (authentic) apprentices Roland gives us a rare glimpse into the mysterious and challenging path of the cheese master. By flirting with the cinematic world of the eighties the campaign shows a new quite humorous side of the brand, and pays tribute to all the hard work that is put in to every cheese made in Kvibille. The integrated campaign is seen on tv, in print, out of home, digital and social media. In every channel our cheese master directly addresses all the cheddar lovers of Sweden with one simple question:

How do you prefer your Kvibille cheddar – wax on or wax off?

Mercy for Animals: New Normal

The official WHO’s (World Health Organization) pandemic protocols have been the inspiration of this film from Mercy For Animals.

A voiceover narrating these official safety recommendations contrasts with real images of animals suffering, captured from Mercy’s investigations in factory farms and slaughterhouses.

The idea of the film is to remember that, like humans, these animals also hope for a “new normal”.

Mercy For Animals is an NGO dedicated to fighting cruelty against animals exploited for consumption and promoting compassion in adopting food policies and choices.

Target ads function by listening to what you search for, what you chat about, or what you stream, suggesting some purchase preferences you might have based on your online activities. So what about cyberbullies? Their “social activities” are filled with hateful and offensive sayings. So we target ads at them to promote only 1 product: bullet. Because every time you insult someone online, you have just pulled the trigger and fired a bullet at them, their mentality, their self-esteem. A word is a bullet, and it kills.

And if the pain caused by this bullet haunts whoever gets shot, this ad will do the same to whoever fires it: it follows them everywhere they go.

PocketBook: Inside your PocketBook

PocketBook launched the new mind-blowing commercial series, showing the magic of immersion into the plot of a book, blurring the borders between literary stories and real life. The new advertising campaign continues the “Inside your PocketBook” idea. We all love reading for the opportunity to escape from reality, to try on new roles.
In the new commercials, PocketBook reveals these specific user insights. We do not just read a book; we live a short life together with heroes, imagining ourselves “in their shoes”. This is exactly what unites reading lovers all over the world.
The campaign has just started on YouTube with two fascinating stories: “The Spy Granny” and “The Shocking Waltz”, – so different in style, but bringing the same idea of total involvement by a book plot.
“The Spy Granny” is a stunning spy-action with the main character on an important mission. Such a dramatic plot can be very dangerous – being swallowed up by the story, readers can find themselves right in the heart of the intense firefight! Then, perhaps, they will have to save the agent from the bad guys with guns. For those who prefer less risky entertainment, PocketBook invites you to dance “The Shocking Waltz” on the most luxurious ball of this season. Good news: readers shouldn’t worry about the dress code. After all, a historical novel is supposed to be read in the comfort of your own home.
