As for containers they use cans from mayo or plastic bottles without a neck. And in Russia we have Tayezhniy Dar (Taiga’s Gift), unique soda from real berries and herbs. So in order to show true nature of this beverage, we cut the neck of Taiga’s Gift plastic bottle and fill it with berries. And real berry sellers became heroes of our clips.

KitKat Digital Ad - Have a Bite

27 September 2021. Nestlé is finally acknowledging the passionate debate swirling online about the correct way to eat a KITKAT.

The ‘have a bite’ social campaign sees KITKAT jump in to respond to the many people proudly flaunting their innovative and somewhat intriguing approach to the correct KITKAT consumption method.

Tear the pack, break off a finger, snap in half, enjoy. Everyone knows that’s how it’s done. So, if you’re one of the people out there that have been taking a giant bite out of all four fingers, or nibbling off the chocolate layers, KITKAT is actually OK with it, as long as you’re taking a break to enjoy it.

The campaign, which will be running until 30th September, kicked off with prominent TikTok creators throwing their voices into the debate by showing how they have a bite, before screen legend Michael Caton added some magical fuel to the fire, biting into a KITKAT himself and asking Aussies: ‘Is this wrong?’

Redrow Print Ad - Life on another level

Well-loved for its beautiful Heritage collection, Redrow have no problem enticing home-buyers into visiting a development to view these type of homes. However in some developments they also offer a range of stunning three storey homes, which were being overlooked.

Three storey homes are perfect for a growing family, or for those who want something different and a little out of the ordinary from their home. Redrow had noticed certain common misconceptions amongst potential buyers when it came to three storey living, but had found that once customers visited a three-storey show home, they soon became enticed.

Our task was to deliver a campaign which communicated the benefits of three-storey living and tempted customers just enough so that they would take that extra step in the consideration process, and view a Redrow three-storey home.

Colgate: Close the tap

Colgate Experiential Ad - Close the tap

For the first time, Colgate changes its name on the packaging so that everyone remembers to close the tap while brushing their teeth.

We have always wanted people to avoid wasting water while brushing their teeth and for the first time in 90 years, we transformed our name into a reminder to “close the tap” and used our little box as a new medium that reaches 85% of the country’s bathrooms. On World Water Day we launched a special edition through Colombia’s largest supermarket chain to reach every bathroom, converting our packaging into Prime Time, Late Time, Early Time and All-Day ads. A medium that inspires thousands in 12 cities and impacts millions as they brush while avoiding the waste of water that 1 million people need to live for 1 month.

Wendy's: Wendy's Phone

Wendy's Experiential Ad - Wendy's Phone

It’s the phone Canadians didn’t know they needed – until now.

To mark the revamp of its mobile app, Wendy’s Canada has created limited-edition Wendy’s Phones and is giving them away on Twitter. These sweet phones feature their own branded OS skin plus the latest technology including an integrated GPS navigation system to get Canadians to their nearest Wendy’s, as well as ample battery life to watch Wendy’s ads, order Wendy’s, and watch videos while eating Wendy’s. And, if they must take pictures of their food, there’s no better way to do it than on the Wendy’s phone, complete with front and rear facing cameras with more megapixels than the Baconator has bacon.

We know what those other digital assistants sound like… but what about Wendy?

The world is about to find out – because the best feature of this limited-edition Wendy’s Phone is the ‘Hey Wendy’ voice assistant who responds to questions with some pretty clever comebacks. Just say “Hey, Wendy” and you can set an alarm, get directions, even ask Wendy to tell you a joke. And if she feels like it, she might even do it!

The Campaign Supporting the Phone
The concept for the limited-edition phone drop and the launch campaign were developed by McCann Canada. The drop will be supported on Spotify and on Twitter via sponsored ads, trend takeovers, a branded emoji and a livestream event. PR and influencer outreach is being handled by Wendy’s PR AOR, Ketchum, and media is handled by Wendy’s media AOR, Initiative.
