1991 Clio Awards: Inside the Most Shocking Night in Advertising History

They don’t do award shows like they used to. Stolen awards, a no-show master of ceremonies, caterer-turned-presenter and stage-crashing advertising executives. There is one night that lives in infamy: the 1991 Clio Awards.

Duolingo: The Unignorable Notification

Duolingo’s mascot Duo is known for appearing in fun push notifications on users’ phones reminding them of study time. To prove just how far the little owl is willing to go to encourage and help the students, the platform projected the world’s largest push notification (with a size between 10 and 15 squared meters) on buildings in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, to give them that ‘push’ to resume their streaks (counted in the app as the number of days in a row a student completes assignments).

After a search and posts asking for fan recommendations on the brand’s social media profiles, some users were chosen – from more than 500 responses with nominations from all regions of the metropolis – to receive the giant personalized notifications. The surprise was organized with the help of family and friends, who were responsible for taking the students to their apartment windows. Outside, they found fun and customized notifications for each profile, projected on the sides of neighboring buildings, making them impossible to ignore.

Harry Rosen: Green Screen Shirt

After 67 years, menswear retailer Harry Rosen may have finally created the most versatile shirt ever… virtually, at least. In time for Father’s Day, the brand is launching a clothing innovation for WFH dads who suffered a long year stuck in countless video calls. The Harry Rosen ‘Green Screen Shirt’ adapts to any occasion. This limited-edition cotton button-down is green-screen-green—a specific shade that unlocks unlimited colour and pattern possibilities on video chats.

How it works is simple. By hitting the green screen checkbox on Zoom and then choosing a pattern, wearers can change the design of their shirt within seconds. It uses Zoom’s built-in green screen functionality in a new way to bring some much-needed variety to dad’s millionth meeting.

The ‘Green Screen Shirt’ is the centre of a Father’s Day giveaway on Harry Rosen’s Instagram. Harry Rosen followers need only like, comment and tag two friends in the post for a chance to win this limited-edition line.

Lucky dads who receive the shirt will have access to a variety of exclusive Harry Rosen designs in both regular and animated patterns. Designs range from classic colours for work to more flashy patterns for play. Of course, they can also upload any photo of their own, making this shirt the first truly fit for any occasion.
