Cannes2010: HARVEY NICHOLS| WOLVES

Y&R Dubai you earned it!!

Renault Commercial Vehicles: Boxes

Amazing... few years back i was in discussion -DE-Brief- with  strategist Mahmoud Khattan on how to position "fit" Volvo in Saudi Arabia.
Capitalizing on five years protection and finance plan, we visually start seeing one monument of Saudi standing behind one of our S80 images.
The direction was not liked/ endorsed by CD Mazen Hassan at that time ... can't remember why!
I recall positioning was something like" five years and your Volvo remins same"


This ad by Neogama/BBH, São Paulo, Brazil relises the visionary approach we had on how to move Volvo metal in saudi overcrowded, price sensitive and reputation driven.


Great work that will sell for sure...

Renault commercial vehicles.
With you from the start.

Cannes| Outdoor Grand Prix winners

The Outdoor Lions jury awarded two Grand Prix for the first time ever this year, recognizing one ambient execution and one traditional poster campaign at the gala event in Cannes this evening.   Anomaly, New York, won the Grand Prix for its Diesel "Be stupid" billboard campaign, a series that celebrated risk-taking with headlines like "Smart may have the brains, but stupid has the balls." And Del Campo/Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi in Buenos Aires, Argentina, won the Grand Prix for its "Teletransporter" for Andes beer, an ambient execution that provided a soundproof booth (outfitted with sound effects) from which bar patrons could call their significant others and pretend they were not, in fact, at the bar.   Outdoor jury president Tay Guan Hin, regional ecd of JWT Asia, said rewarding two different types of outdoor advertising was necessary because of the evolution of the industry and allows traditional two-dimensional campaigns to compete "on even ground" with technologically enhanced ambient pieces like the Andes entry. In years past, "the ambient work was clearly overshadowing the traditional pieces," he said, pointing to past winners like HBO's "Voyeur," which won the top prize in Outdoor in 2008.   Diesel's "Be stupid" manifesto is "bold, fresh, lively and goes against the flow of conventional thinking," said JWT's Hin.   U.S. juror Kathy Delaney, chief creative officer and president of SapientNitro added: "What the campaign did beautifully was create a tone of voice and manifesto for the target. It was one of the campaigns that did not rely heavily on technology to get the message out, and it was very strong in its voice, tone, manner and DNA."   The jury praised the Andes execution for its understanding of the core male and the execution's universal appeal. "We've all been there," said U.K. juror Jon Williams, chief digital officer EMEA at Grey. "And as long as your communication is based on genuine insight, then you'll score."   Ambient executions won 11 of the 17 gold Lions awarded in Outdoor tonight, a sure sign that the creativity in the segment is flourishing, said Hin.   "If we were poets, [billboards are] haiku. It's the idea expressed in the most profound way," added Grey's Williams. "Now, we move into different uncharted territory. It's where digital meets life. That's what makes it exciting.  [It's something] to watch for the future."   In addition to Anomaly's top prize, U.S. agencies picked up three more Lions in the Outdoor competition: BBDO in New York won a gold for the cube installation in its HBO "Imagine" campaign; Wieden + Kennedy in New York won a silver for an ESPN Monday Night Football interactive storefront; and Johannes Leonardo in New York won a bronze for Daffy's "Underground Puzzle."

Cannes|Media Grand Prix Winner 2010|Canon Australia

Leo Burnett in Sydney took home the Media Grand Prix at Cannes for its "EOS Photochains" work for Canon Australia. The jury praised the campaign for its savvy use of paid media to lead people to an engaging online experience that tapped into the power of social media.

Cannes: Special Group, Orcon Win Direct Grand Prix

A campaign for broadband provider Orcon featuring Iggy Pop rocked the Direct Lions here in Cannes tonight, winning the Grand Prix for agency Special Group in Auckland, New Zealand. The 30 member Direct jury, the largest in Cannes history, also awarded 19 gold Lions, 23 silvers and 30 bronzes out of a field of almost 1,500 submissions.
  Orcon ran away with it, according to jury head Pablo Alzugaray, CEO of Spanish agency Shackleton. Orcon created a contest in which the winners helped the godfather of Punk rerecord his hit song "The Passenger" via webcam, and appeared alongside him while making the video. The results played out in real time, but at every stage of the contest, few could resist getting jiggy with Iggy. See a video of the campaign, and more Direct Lions results, after the jump.

 The category proved hospitable for the whole region Down Under: Six of the golds went to Australian agencies, including "Nothing Soft Gets In" for Toyota from Saatchi & Saatchi in Sydney and "Support Scent" on behalf of Guide Dogs Australia from Clemenger BBDO in Melbourne. Other gold winners included "World's Biggest Sign Post" for Nokia from Farfar in Sweden and "Eternal Moonwalk" for Studio Brussels from MortierBrigade in Brussels, Belgium.

  "Auditorium" for Heineken from JWT Milan, which has been widely awarded this season, won a silver. "Choose a Different Ending," an anti-knife campaign for The Metropolitan Police from Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO in London won a bronze.
"Hardchorus" for Puma from Droga5 in New York also got a bronze, the single award for a U.S. agency.

Cannes: TBWA\C\D Tops Promo, PR

Gatorade "Replay," the campaign from TBWA\Chiat\Day, Los Angeles, that restaged an old high school football rivalry years later, won two Grand Prix Lions at the first awards show gala event here in Cannes tonight. The campaign won top honors in both the Promo & Activation Lions and in the PR Lions.

Promo jury president Tina Manikas, global retail promotions officer at Draftfcb, said the jury was looking for ideas that "push the boundaries" and "evoke participation and engagement for a specific period of time."

The Gatorade campaign was unanimously chosen for the top prize in the Promo competition, which received 1,595 entries this year. "It was a really terrific idea," said Manikas. The effort brought high-school rivals from 1993 back together to replay a championship game and has since grown to include other sports and inspired a TV show. "It created an event that spread and the idea kept evolving," said Manikas.

The Promo jury awarded eight gold, 19 silver and 26 bronze Lions. JWT Italia won two golds for Heineken "Auditorium," an event that had soccer fans pleasantly surprised when they found the concert they had been dragged to by wives and girlfriends on the night of a critical Champions League match was actually a Heineken-sponsored stunt that screened the game.

BBDO New York won one gold and one silver for its HBO "Imagine" campaign, as well as two silvers for the "Cube Film Installation" portion of the effort, which projected different angles of the same story on an outdoor installation. "To show a story from different angles is a great insight and a great basic idea," said Promo juror Alexander Schill, chief creative officer and partner of Serviceplan Group in Hamburg, Germany. The campaign used various media to tell the HBO story, especially the Internet, but "it didn't end in one channel," Schill said. "They took it outside and made it visible for people walking through the city."

Other U.S. wins in Promo included a silver for Grey in New York for Canon's "Behind the Still" and a bronze for Crispin Porter + Bogusky in Boulder, Colo., for Burger King's "Augmented Reality Banners."

The PR jury was also enamored of Gatorade's "Replay." "The execution was multi-platform and was PR centric," said Paul Taafe, jury president and global CEO of Hill and Knowlton.

"Replay" is just the second Grand Prix in PR Lions, as this is only the second year the festival has given awards in the category. In all, entries were up 32 percent this year, thanks mainly to ad agencies. The jury awarded 11 gold and 31 silver Lions. No bronzes were awarded in the relatively small category, which drew 575 entries.

"Replay" earned kudos from the PR jury for its ability to earn media for Gatorade at a time when it was shifting the brand to appeal to everyday athletes, Taafe said. "It represented the ability to create an authentic conversation that appealed to people."
