Brussels Mobility: Don't let speed change you

Have you ever noticed that sometimes we’re not quite ourselves when we’re driving? Like Mr Wheeler in Disney’s “Motor Mania”, a perfectly respectable person can turn into an aggressive monster in traffic. By combining the ridiculousness of the Power rangers with the kitsch of B-series movies, this offbeat campaign invites motorists not to transform into monsters when they have a heavy foot on the accelerator, to remain relaxed and zen for the well-being of everyone, but also for themselves.

E & J Gallo Winery: Savvy Moves

Looking to take a savvier approach to your drinking? You can learn a thing or two from The Savvy Man, a new brand spokesperson for award-winning E & J Gallo Winery brand Black Box Wines played by Adam Scott, who stars in the critically acclaimed Apple + Series, Severance. as well as series such as Parks and Recreation and Big Little Lies. The premium boxed wine brand has teamed up with independent creative agency Red Tettemer O’Connell + Partners (RTO+P) to debut a new campaign. Always at the ready, Black Box Wines offers award winning wines for 40% less – and we’re talking over 100 gold medals for excellence.

The debut spot, “Savvy Moves,” introduces The Savvy Man. Ensconced in a luxurious den, he slides down a library ladder to show off his large, premium collection of award-winning Black Box Wines, convincing drinkers to “come over to the savvy side.” The campaign will run nationally across OTT, including Roku, Disney+, and YouTube. A second spot, “Savvy Gathering,” will roll out in the coming weeks. This campaign marks RTO+P’s first for Black Box Wines since beginning work with E & J Gallo Winery last fall – and the debut of Black Box Wines’ first-ever brand spokesperson.

The work, by Stockholm and Hamburg-based agency Volt, includes a series of digital videos that take a microphone to some very specific hotel noises: meals being prepared in the hotel kitchen; luggage wheeled down a hallway; the sizzle of the sauna; the tinkle of room service arriving on a tray.

United Kingdom: GREAT Calling

GREAT, the United Kingdom’s international promotional program that spans both trade and tourism, is activating a campaign in the U.S. aimed at inspiring Americans to take a fresh look at the UK.

As part of the integrated campaign, the UK’s iconic red telephone booths will pop up across New York City where passersby can literally “answer the call” and gain access to one of several event activations centered around the cultural cornerstones of food, innovation, sports and music. The activations will be hosted by the likes of “The Great British Baking Show” winner and celebrity chef Nadiya Hussain where she will cook alongside consumers; AI scientist Dr. Shama Rahman who will host the “World’s First AI Banquet” with an AI platform bringing British icons William Shakespeare and Agatha Christie to life; an English Premier League match party with soccer legends Ian Wright and Michael Carrick attending; as well as four intimate concerts showcasing up-and-coming British musicians in late March.

The “GREAT Calling” campaign and its immersive events aims to showcase the vibrance of modern British culture while debunking outdated British stereotypes to which many Americans cling.

NHS England: Jack-in-the-box

NHS England has launched a major new campaign to help people overcome their fears of visiting the GP if they feel they may have early symptoms of cancer. The campaign, called ‘Jack-in-the-box’, was created in partnership with M&C Saatchi London.

M&C Saatchi has partnered with NHS England to create a 360 campaign which aims to increase the number of people presenting early with symptoms that might be cancer, so that their worries can be allayed, or an early diagnosis can greatly improve their prognosis.

The push is based on the insight that when someone notices a change in their body, alarm bells can ring, and when the thought of cancer pops into their mind, it can increase their fear of coming forward. It seeks to encourage people who have noticed a concerning change in their body to overcome this fear and contact their GP.

A tense 60-second TV spot, directed by Barney Cokeliss at Mad Cow Films, uses the metaphor of a man carrying and winding a jack-in-the-box to show the worry people can carry around with them, and the way their tension builds up as time passes. The ad demonstrates how, statistically-speaking, most people who go for tests, are told they don’t have cancer – that the box is empty. And for those who do, an earlier diagnosis is always better – and makes it much more treatable.
