BBR Saatchi & Saatchi and Para Chocolate present Sweet Advisor

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!

BBR Saatchi & Saatchi Proudly presents a Presidential Charter

In a bold move spearheaded by Baumann Ber Rivnay / Saatchi & Saatchi, Israeli President Mr. Reuven Rivlin together with children puts the Israeli advertising industry’s typecasting practices to shame and urges it to change for the benefit of all Israeli society.

Israel is a melting pot. A country of immigrants who came from many different countries and cultures. A country where East meets West. A country where Ashkenazi Jews (from western countries), Sephardic Jews (from Arab countries), Ethiopian Jews, Arabs and Christian coexist but do not always do so on an equal standing. And while Israel is a country loaded with baggage on discrimination (having experienced it firsthand), we are ashamed to say we are a country in which bias and prejudice still exists.

Nowhere is this more obvious than in Israeli advertising where the white Caucasian, blond, blue-eyed stereotype still reigns supreme.
Where portrayals of single sex families still are very rare and where you will be hard pushed to find a black Ethiopian kid
starring in a commercial let alone an Arab – unless it’s for purposes of typecasting him in various unflattering roles.

Not surprising if you look at casting calls issued by local talent agencies; stuff that will quite literally make your hair stand on edge.

But the job of advertisers, in our minds, is not only to reflect a country’s culture and values. Quite the opposite.
Advertisers have a responsibility to help shape the culture they live in and mold people’s behavior for the better.
The way we see things at BBR Saatchi & Saatchi, the industry has a proactive role to play in levelling the playing ground, abolishing prejudice and blowing up the glass ceiling.
