Immigrating to a new country is scary, tough and isolating. There are social pressures and it’s hard to fit in when you just don’t look the same or have the same interests. With one of the highest migrant rates, Berlin holds over 180 nationalities and nearly one-third (27.7%) of the population has a migration background. The city of Berlin has 3.8 million inhabitants making it the European Union’s most populous city.

On October 28th – National Immigrants Day, we give immigrants a feeling of belonging by highlighting the differences which make them stand out in the first place.
Regardless of the difference, we all belong as humans.

YOU Belong.

University of Bergen Print Ad - The Crib Death Turn

For decades the University of Bergen has affected the whole world with scientific discoveries. This year they celebrate 75 years, so to mark the anniversary, we promoted several of the research findings they’ve achieved since its founding.

One of these findings was Professor Trond Markestad and his team’s research on crib death. For decades, sleeping on the stomach could lead to crib death, but they found out that newborns rather should sleep on their backs. Quickly after this research had reached the public, Norway witnessed a decrease in the number of crib death cases, and in the end, the statistics got halved.

To communicate this achievement, we created an interactive print where the readers could help turn a sleeping baby over on the right side. The print got published in one of Norway’s largest news magazines, VG Helg, and local newspapers in Bergen.

Amaro: The Virtual Nodule

Amaro Print Ad - The Virtual Nodule

Amaro, a pioneer online retailer from Brazil, has partnered up with VMLY&R unveiling an unexpected activation on Instagram called The Virtual Nodule. Amaro, known for their creativity, data, and technology, is hacking the Instagram “Shop Now” tool for the first time, to teach their consumers more about the risks of breast cancer.

Consumer would interact normally with the post, attempting to purchase the tagged product, upon touching the round tag they will be surprised with messages such as: “Hmm, this small lump feels weird.” or “I better check out this lump”. The consumer is then directed to information about the importance of early diagnosis of breast cancer, by doing yearly preventive exams or mammography. On the “buy” button users are sent to a landing page developed by Amaro where they are provided more information about breast cancer, public and private clinics to book exams and contacts of doctors focused on the subject.

Amaro is the first company to use this tool with a communication objective instead of a shopping function. “We transformed a very simple and used Instagram’s shopping tool into an awareness and prevention tool for breast cancer, helping Amaro’s consumers to find trustable information about the illness and clinics to book exams,” said Rafael Pitanguy, chief creative officer VMLY&R LATAM.

The alert posts can be seen on the brand’s official profile. Amaro’s aim is to be next to women in these important moments in their lives, bringing access to reliable information and inspiring self-esteem and self-care. They hope this activation will incentivize women to book doctors or exams to check their breasts yearly, because health and breast cancer is a serious matter. Amaro believes that more than awareness we must inspire action.
