The Eurovision song contest is the biggest musical event in the world and this time it’s taking place in sun filled Tel Aviv – the ‘city that never sleeps’. In total, some 18.000 tourists are expected to make their way here. That’s why Para Chocolate, Israel’s national chocolate brand thought up a way of making their stay super sweet and at the same time give them a taste for the place they wouldn’t forget.

Working with one of the country’s best chocolatiers, it created Para Chocolate’s ‘Sweet Advisor’. A map of Tel Aviv made entirely of Para chocolate that not only details the city’s sweetest spots – but the city’s best kept secrets and places only the locals know about but make Tel Aviv what it is.

The map which awaited them on their bed at Brown and Atlas Hotels throughout the city, pinpointed over 10 points of interest in the city including:

The Shuk HaPishpeshim Flea Market – one of the city’s most colorful places where you can find vintage items while walking through the market’s picturesque side streets filled with bars and restaurants.

The Habima Square – one of the city’s most beautiful squares and home to the Habima Theater with its sunken garden in which we recommend sitting and drinking a beer from one of the nearby bars and cafes.

The Rabin Square – where you’ll find the world’s largest concentration of peace doves.

The Brown Bar – Located at the Brown Hotel which offers a real Tel Aviv kind of atmosphere and the best cocktails this side of the Middle East.

While our chocolate is probably too good to share, we’re pretty sure our visiting music fans will share the knowledge with their friends to make sure they have a stay that really rocks!

A Cheeky Welcome for Prince William

Interesting Things, International, , , , , , , , , , , , no comments

It’s been 70 years since a British dignitary let alone British Royalty has visited in Israel. By Israeli standards this is a wonderful opportunity for celebration and an even better one for brands to give the young prince a royal welcome ‘Israeli style’. That is why Super-Pharm, Israel’s largest drugstore chain, working together with BBR Saatchi & Saatchi advertising bought up a huge billboard space at the entrance to Jerusalem along the Prince’s schedule journey into the capital.

The billboard meant for the fair skinned and slightly balding young royal, tells him that the London sun is nothing compared to the scorching Israeli sun and kindly nudges the prince on to buy and apply Life Sunscreen. But while the billboard’s message seems mostly straightforward and innocent, it of course could not refrain from poking a little fun and derision at the “Sun” British Daily Newspaper known for grilling the royal family any occasion it gets.

BBR Saatch & Saatchi Presents : Hacking Spotify

Creative, , , , , , , , , , , , , no comments

Bekol, Israel’s Organization for the Hard of Hearing, hacked Israel’s Spotify launch to deliver a message to the country’s young music lovers.

Spotify has been available abroad for years, but in Israel it just landed this week! As an anticipated launch by Israel’s many youngsters and music lovers, it was a dream opportunity for Bekol, Israel’s Organization for the Hard of Hearing, to speak directly to youngsters.

Why? Because with most youngsters using earphones to listen to music at increasingly higher volumes, the average age for getting a hearing aid is dropping. In fact, medical authorities have reported that people as young as 40 are now finding they need a hearing aid.

With this in mind and knowing fully well that Israeli youngsters would automatically search for Spotify on google, we bought google adwords and promoted a site with a very similar domain name as Spotify: spotify.org.il.

Youngsters who fell into our trap were taken to our Spotify lookalike website and presented with a message they did not expect:

‘Spotify is now available in Israel, but not for the thousands of hard of hearing.

Playing music too loudly means many youngsters are finding out they may need a hearing aid by the age of 40. Bekol, Israel’s Organization for the Hard of Hearing, is here to help prevent that and you can help’.

So as not to antagonize Israeli youngsters who’ve waited for Spotify long enough, we gave them 30 seconds to read our message (&donate) and then we automatically redirected them to the real Spotify website.

Hacking Spotify paid off as we managed to get up close and personal with the internet’s hardest to reach demographic and confront them with a message which they may not want to hear, but may not be able to in the near future.

Mazda : Don’t Scroll And Drive by BBR Saatchi & Saatchi

Interesting Things, International, , , , , , , , , , , , no comments

“Distracted driving” is what they call it.

It’s a treacherous innocuous name – meant to cover anything from taking your eyes off the road to check your baby hasn’t chocked on his pacifier,
right down to taking your eyes off the road to scroll down your Facebook feed and check who’s liked your latest profile pic.
And let’s be honest, that happens way more often than anything else.
But worst of all it’s killing people. Lots of them.

That’s why Mazda decided to launch a new campaign: smack in the middle of people’s social feed,  right as they were scrolling down it.

Watch the Facebook special post here:

And take it from us: when you drive, leave the phone alone.
