Polar Electric is a 4-decade-old electronics brand that has been diversifying its range of home appliances with special emphasis on fans all across India. Powering ease and convenience, the brand takes a step further to instill a new wave of awareness in the air with its digital film.

Headline: Polar Electric brings social message forward – iss Holi, bura na bano!

While the popular act of celebrating with colours is cherished among friends and families, often this very act of smearing colours is extended to pets and stray animals as an act of teasing. Our four-legged friends are seen frantically harassed and afraid on this day. Adverse effects like blindness, skin allergies and respiratory disorders work no less than poison for them.
To impart the message of excluding pets and animals from Holi, Polar Electric decided to bring awareness in the air distinctly. The narrative gently communicates an important social message to children & young adults about respecting every being’s safety & not channelling our idea of a Holi celebration on to our furry friends.

Leo Burnett Israel and Samsung present: “Flight of the Bumblebee”

Creative, Digital, International, TV Spots, , , , , , , , , , , , no comments

Nowadays you have to be alert, attentive, on the lookout. You’ve got to keep your phone at hand and be prepared to draw it out in an instant, because you never know what situation you will encounter that will warrant documenting.
It could be an elephant giving birth at the safari.
It could be a triple rainbow.
or it could be a traffic cop dancing in the middle of a busy street intersection.
At those moments, it is crucial you be able to operate and access the right camera features on your mobile at lightning speed because that may just determine whether your footage becomes the next big video sensation and ends up conquering the web.
That’s why for the launch of the new Galaxy S21 series with its advanced photography and video capturing features, we brought the story of a bumblebee that surprises a Dad making him do all kinds of goofy stuff you wouldn’t want to miss capturing. So while Dad is seen dancing to the tune of the bumblebee, his kids pull out their devices and document the moment, each using a different feature of the phone.

Mayor : Spec Work By Miami Ad School

Creative, Digital, Student Work, , no comments

Touristification of a locale may seem beneficial but locals may not always agree with this idea. Apart from the obvious economic upside, it brings a lot more issues in the city like crowds, pollution, an increase in rates of commodities, etc. All this leads to friction between tourists and locals. To ease this friction, Niantic developed ‘Mayor’. It is an application that caters to both locals and tourists. The locals recommend their favorite spots and activities to tourists. Tourists can vote for these recommendations. Each month the local with the most votes gets to be the virtual mayor of the city. Being the mayor brings a lot of perks such as discounts, free parking, and the like. With Mayor, locals get a new way to enjoy the touristification of their city.

Title: Nest Safe Sleeve
School: Miami Ad School San Francisco
Art Director: Neha Biluve and Renny Eackelbary
Copywriter: Hatem El Akad, Amber Jolley and Prasiddha Thiyagarajan

Description:

Owning a firearm in the United States is a fundamental right.

And over 43% of the U.S. population owns at least one firearm to feel safe and protected.

Despite the many laws in place regulating gun ownership, violent crimes continue to rise.

That’s because 79% of violent acts involve a stolen firearm.

What’s more alarming is that the shooters are taking guns from their friends and family members.

It’s time for legal gun owners to feel safe and protected with their firearms.

Ted Pedro : In Conversation With An Advertising Creative

Creative, Digital, International, Student Workno comments

Why are you into Advertising?
I kind of fell into it. I originally was using my design skills for my streetwear brand I started with a few friends. It was my brother who was in advertising where he would tell me more about what he was working on everyday that got me more interested. I applied the few tips he told me to implement into my brand. I enjoyed thinking and making in advertising so then I decided to take the jump and pursue it.

Did you attend school for fine art or design or Communications?
I studied Graphic Design at SAIT in Calgary. Then moved to Toronto to go to Miami Ad School.

Tell us about your awards? How has that helped your career.
It does help you stand out above the rest. I’ve won a few awards at big shows like D&AD, One Show and Clios. They for sure helped out to get me noticed while applying for jobs. I also just like the competition aspect of it, it always leads to great work.

Air “Bee and Bee” – this is the largest insect hotel village in the world : TBWA Helsinki

Digital, Interesting Things, Internationalno comments

What if bees had their own Airbnb? The largest insect hotel village in the world.

Finnish school kids built the world’s largest insect hotel village in their local town. The hotels
provide shelter for important pollination insects that are in decline around the world.

Pollinating insects are in decline, and some insect species are facing the threat of extinction.

A world without bees would be a world without coffee, apples, potatoes, strawberries, carrots – and much more. That’s because up to 75% of all of our food crops depend on pollination one way or another.

And it’s not just the bees that are in decline. Living habitats that the pollinators prefer are also in decline as meadows and flower fields have been turned into building lots for city-planning.

That’s why a Finnish electricity distribution company saw untapped potential in their land use. In Finland the land is released for better use when the air cable lines are moved underground because of the cold and snowy weather conditions. And so, the idea of an insect hotel village came to be.

“We wanted to do something for nature and bring joy to local school children. First, we planted flower seeds on one of our worksites. Then we provided building materials for the local schools, so the kids could learn about the importance of pollinating insects and plan their own village for the bees”, says the Head of Customer Relations of the electricity distribution company Caruna, Katriina Kalavainen.

One hundred hotels for pollinators – a light-hearted approach with serious benefits

The kids were enthusiastic about the project and the local schools wanted to take part as soon as they heard of it. The kids built over a 100 insect hotels and styled the hotels according to their own artistic vision.

The insect hotel village provides shelter as days get colder and the bees look for a perfect spot for winter hibernation. Next spring the bees will wake up from their Air Bee n’ Bees ready for a new season.

See what the kids came up with from the pictures and the video below.

Affinity : Spec Work From Miami Ad School

Creative, Digital, Student Work, no comments

Virtual reality has not been used to its full potential as an empathy machine. So far, it has mostly dominated a consumer market. We wanted to expand its horizons in the B2B market. Hence, we came up with the idea of making a sensitivity training application for corporates, schools, hospitals, warehouses, etc. Sensitivity training exists as a video in most workplaces. It never makes an impact because it lacks connection. Afinity is a virtual reality application that is used as a sensitivity training tool for workspaces and schools. We make sensitivity training an immersive experience for the employees and students by making them see things from the perspective of a disabled person. Afinity makes them experience the challenges that disabled people face in their day to day lives especially at work. Afinity aims to make people compassionate and empathize with persons with disabilities.

BBR Saatchi & Saatchi presents: “Alive & Kickin’

Creative, Digital, International, , , , , , , , , , , no comments

“A few old people is no reason to shutdown a whole country” – that’s how our latest campaign for the “Mediterranean Towers” Senior Living Residence kicks off. When the Pandemic struck, it soon became apparent senior citizens were especially at risk of contracting the covid-19 virus. So people were told to respect social distancing and families were warned to stay away from grandparents and elderly citizens lest they spread the virus to them.

Countries went into total lockdown and stores, businesses and restaurants shut their doors. However, while the lockdown was tolerated at first due to the general atmosphere of panic and fear, soon the economic consequences became apparent as most economies began suffocating. The advocates of reopening the markets were fast to point the finger at their seniors – blaming them for the continued segregation and economic shutdown in posts that showed increasing animosity and resentment towards the elderly. Posts where they were fast to offer up ghetto like solutions.

Most senior living chains had remained quiet during the lockdown – too afraid to advertise lest they draw fire and be painted as ‘houses of death’. Well the residents of the “Mediterranean Towers” Senior Living community thought differently and had a message for people they thought it was about time they heard.

So we scoured the net and social media and embarked on a campaign that took the most authentic comments and posts, straight from people’s feeds – and slammed them right onto the “Mediterranean Towers” elderlies reality, where our seniors stood proud and showed people exactly who they are : strong, independent, knowledgeable, creative,  life loving people who can look just fine after themselves – thank you.

Over the last six months, tens of thousands of businesses in Israel have been affected by the coronavirus outbreak.
So for the launch of the new Samsung Galaxy Note 20, we decided to help 20 small businesses owners and connect them with the leading digital creators in Israel.
We handed each of our creators a the new and powerful Galaxy Note 20, and with the help of its advanced features, they shot, illustrated, photographed and edited a variety of advertising and digital tools the small business owners can use to advertise and publicize their businesses, services and goods.
To date, millions of Israelis have been exposed to billboards, promotional videos and other commercial items we created this way which we hope will march our small businesses owners into a new era of prosperity and success.
