Instead of Victims, Unicef Ad Reimagines Refugees as Powerful Video Game Characters

What if refugees were seen as heroes, instead of victims? A new ad by VaynerMedia London for Unicef repositions the way people think about migrants as fellow human beings with hope, dreams, ambition and potential–all the makings of a video game hero. The one-minute hero ad, titled “Reimagine the world like a gamer,” aims to…

Cadbury: I Missed You

Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk has collaborated with the singing sensation Jasleen Royal as she launches her much awaited music video Sang Rahiyo, for its Heart Pop ‘I Missed You’ campaign. This is a manifestation of ‘How Far Will You Go For Love’, where Cadbury Silk has been encouraging young couples across the country to go above and beyond the norm to express their love, and how Silk is in itself the perfect romantic gesture. The collaboration is brought to life by Wavemaker.

Cadbury Silk launched its limited edition ‘I Missed You’ Heart Pop bar – an embodiment of the emotion that numerous couples have felt being away from each other the past few months since the lockdown. In her latest song, Jasleen has beautifully encapsulated the emotions of a young couple during a long distance relationship.

The music video features Ranveer Allahbadia (as Jasleen’s partner), as they take various efforts to keep their relationship alive despite the difficulties triggered by long distance due to lockdown. Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk plays a sweet role in their love story – a partner in their good times spent together and a medium to let them know how much they missed each other when apart.
Commenting on the collaboration, Karthik Nagarajan, Chief Content Officer, of Wavemaker India said, “We wanted to build an association that would capture the essence of #HowFarWillYouGoForLove messaging seamlessly. Over the years, Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk has been an integral part of expressing love and has evolved to a symbol of love. Known for her soul stirring love songs, Jasleen Royal came across as the ideal choice to bring alive the brand’s messaging”.

Bamberg Symphony Orchestra: BAM is back

The last few months have been very challenging for cultural institutions, including the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra whose concert hall was also empty due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which caused the season to come to a different end than planned. But now, post-lockdown in Germany and observing all necessary hygiene regulations – music can be played again in the concert hall of this iconic orchestra, which is a cultural hub of the German city of Bamberg. To creatively celebrate the reopening of the new season on 17 September, Serviceplan Campaign has produced a video for the Bamberg Symphony’s social media communication under the claim “BAM is back”. The film features music playing in the empty concert hall, which causes the dust that accumulated during the quiet months of lockdown to dance.

Jeep: The Battery Grille

Jeep—a legendary brand and automaker—has developed something new and timely: its first-ever electric model, the Renegade Compass 4xe Plug-In Hybrid. It combines the signature Jeep features, like off-road chops, with something totally new to the brand—an electric battery.

Leo Burnett Amsterdam wanted to announce this news with a campaign equal parts legendary and forward-thinking, so the agency created “The Battery Grille.” The visually appealing work takes one of the most iconic design features of Jeep, its grille, and transforms it into a vibrant battery.

The battery successfully coalesces with the beloved Jeep grille feature to create a visual as modern as the new car model itself.
