Aruba Tourism Authority (ATA): The Aruba Effect

“The Aruba Effect,” positions Aruba not as an exporter of goods, but as the number one exporter of happiness, and explores what happens when this lift in mood spreads person by person, like a ripple effect, across the world. By focusing on how the island improves wellbeing, drops defenses, and reveals a happier version of each person that stays with them even when they return home, the campaign is a testament to the people of Aruba and the impact of its culture on a personal and potentially global level.

SAQ: The SAQ extends a lighthearted invitation to discovery

This unscripted communications campaign features real SAQ customers casually describing their preferences, revealing a vast range of personal tastes.

As we all know, the wide world of wines and spirits can be an intimidating one. This initiative evokes the SAQ Inspire program’s raison d’être, which is to help consumers better understand their tastes and use that information to personalize their purchases. By presenting real situations that customers may encounter, the TV spots illustrate the ways in which the program can guide people and allow them to receive better in-store recommendations.

By showing how easily folks can make new finds, Cossette reinforces the SAQ’s positioning as an open-minded and inclusive brand that’s attentive to their audience. This is actually the company’s first time collaborating with their staff and clientele for a TV campaign, which humanizes the program and makes its benefits feel more concrete by using real people and real SAQ advisors.

What do you think about when you drive?

Our brain is a machine that never rests. We process thoughts all the time, we often carry out tasks in automatic mode and without reasoning them too much. One of the main causes of traffic accidents is the lack of attention on the road. Our mind wanders with various topics when we are behind the wheel and we stop paying attention to what is in front of us and what really matters.

According to data from the National Institute of Public Health (INSP), Mexico ranks seventh worldwide and third in the Latin American region in road accidents due to distraction.

This problem needs the support of technology and Hyundai has a system that could save lives.

With a disruptive strategy that connects with an audience that practice sports just to feel good and have fun, Adrenaline’s “Workout or Whatever” is the antithesis of concepts like “No Pain.No gain”, “Nothing is Impossible” or “No Limits”.

Microsoft and The Invictus Games: The Invictus Games “Anthem for all” Powered by Microsoft

The Invictus Games represent the unwavering spirit of ill, injured, and wounded war veterans and servicemen/women as they show the world what can be achieved post-injury. Held in The Hague, the games took place in April 2022 and opened with the “Anthem For All”, created by a collaboration of service personnel and veterans alongside The Invictus Games Foundation.

Partnering with Microsoft, the foundation headed over to their Hands-Free Technology Lab in San Francisco. Adapting existing technology to the cause they utilised a combination of “Gaze Eye-Tracking” tech and Xbox “Adaptive Controllers” to orchestrate a beautiful anthem that required minimal participant mobility. The team designed personalised adaptive solutions to cater to the needs of everyone taking part, aspiring to give back the musical ability that was taken from them in the line of service.

McCann London/New York created a short film, produced by Irresistible Studios, going behind the scenes of how the anthem was created. Featuring the stories of Private Karl Hinett and Lance Corporal Emma Lum, the film showcases the journey they went through from life in service, post-injury, and to finally being able to play music again.

The film showcases the anthem being played throughout The Invictus Games, at every opening, every celebration, and every moment of empowerment. When everybody plays, we all win.
