The situation
The nutritional product market is a sea of sameness. DSM—a global partner and supplier of ingredients for human nutrition and health companies—needed a way to differentiate themselves from a host of competitors with many of the same offerings.

The “Products with Purpose” campaign paid off that vision and value story. We created a campaign that inherently differentiated DSM by going beyond the products they sell, delivering a human benefit story. In doing so, we simultaneously grouped the competition together while creating a promise based on a larger, more important vision. Rather than the “what,” we focused on the “why.”

Matahari: A Meaningful Gift

Christmas has become all about the presents. Many think that the bigger and the more expensive the present, the better. This holiday season, one of Indonesia’s biggest Department Store brands Matahari wants to remind people of the true meaning of Christmas: it’s not about spending a lot of money on things, it’s about showing the ones who mean the most to you how much you care about them.

In its feel-good festive TV Spot, Matahari highlights how the simplest things can be so meaningful and that showing your love does not have to break your bank. A hoodie is not just a hoodie, it is the little sister’s way of giving her big brother a warm hug in return for his warm protection. A set of skincare is the perfect way to say thank you to Mom, who always lovingly cares for the family.

The key message is clear: when you do your Christmas shopping at Matahari Department Store, you can expect to find meaningful and very affordable presents for the whole family. So, this Christmas, give those most meaningful to you the gift of a meaningful Christmas. Feel good, pay less.

The Nature Conservancy: If We Don't Protect Nature, How Can Nature Protect Us?

The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and Superconductor, the creative agency founded by The Russo Brothers and Justin Lin, are announcing the debut of Nature Is Our Solution, a brand anthem directed by acclaimed documentary filmmaker and long-time TNC supporter Peyton Wilson. Filmed across California, the piece interweaves extraordinary images of natural beauty, scientists in the field, and children at play, with shockingly familiar clips of scorched earth and littered waterways. Actor Ewan McGregor lends his unique voice to describe nature, not as a destination but as a connection between all of us. The timing is fitting, as the eyes of the world are on COP26 looking for solutions to our climate crisis.

Refuge: Domestic Abuse is Getting Smarter

Refuge is marking 50 years of fighting domestic abuse in a new campaign created by BBH, which highlights the insidious ways technology is being used by abusers to monitor and control their partners, and how this makes the charity’s job more complex than ever.

At the heart of the campaign is a 40-second film which, at first glance, appears to be promoting a new smartphone. But as the camera lingers on its elegant design and a voiceover details its features, things take a sinister turn. Maps in real time, we are told, can “keep you up to date with traffic in your area… and her movements”, while smart home features can be used to adjust the heating and lights “even when you’re not at home, so you can control her from wherever you are”.

It ends by reminding us that as domestic abuse gets smarter, the job of Refuge gets harder, along with details of how to make a donation.
