BBR Saatchi & Saatchi presents: “Alive & Kickin’

“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.

BBR Saatchi & Saatchi and American Express present: HOME COUTURE

American Express x TimeOut Israel let its card members confine from home with style.

American Express card members are known for their impeccable taste and lust of life, culture, food and exclusive experiences. However, as we all know, the coronavirus outbreak has made enjoying even the most mundane of pleasures like eating out at a stylish restaurant impossible. So what do you do when your natural playground has been pulled out from under your feet? How do you provide American Express card members with that trademark stand-out experience?

Working with Time Out Israel, we created a dedicated content hub that lets the brand’s premium card members shop for the very best and very finest online has to offer. From special food packages and designer wines to online home styling services and specially created chef dinners – we curated “all deliverable to your doorstep” packages adapted for consumption from the comfort of your very own home.

BBR Saatchi & Saatchi and Mazda present: Your Getaway Car

Mazda x Spotify set you up for some badly needed peace and quiet and uplifting tunes

We’re all feeling the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Whether it’s worrying about our health, juggling between looking after the kids and working from home or simply the stress that comes from being cooped up all together 24/7 with no privacy – this crisis is definitely taking its toll. So Mazda thought it would give you a little ‘Me Time’.

For many the car is the one place they can get a little respite and privacy. In regular times it’s their private sanctum –and now even more so. That’s why teaming up with Spotify, Mazda decided to create and curate a few playlists (only 10 minutes long each – so you won’t get into trouble with the misses) that are bound to lift your spirits. Whether you’re looking for an energizing ‘Pick Me Up’, ‘Zen Me Out’, or ‘G-d Give Me Strength’ effect – Mazda has the perfect playlist lined up for you.

Publicis Israel and BBR Saatchi & Saatchi present: “Don’t Just Stand By”

Here is a disturbing fact: A survey carried out among Israeli children and teenagers found that most Israeli children would rather experience physical violence than experience bullying.
Today’s reality however is harsh. If before the advent of social media bullying ended at the gates to school; today with much of kids’ social lives managed via platforms like Whatsapp, Instagram and Facebook, bullying goes way beyond the schoolground – following children throughout their day, whether they are at home or at after school sports activities. And when you’re being picked on, when you’re excluded from the class Whatsapp group, shamed on Facebook by bullies hiding behind their keyboard, the scars stay with you well after you graduate.
Bullying is cruel and heartless and can lead to harsh consequences and in some cases even suicide. But rather than appeal to the bullies or reach out to the victims – we decided to opt for an audience that carries a lot more sway – the silent majority who sit on the sidelines. The kids who while they do not take part in the boycott, also do nothing to stop it.
The campaign initiated by the office of the President of the State of Israel, Mr. Reuven Rivlin, under the hashtag #Don’t_Just_Stand_By, was created in collaboration with stars and influencers children love and aims at empowering the silent majority by directing them to a website with tips to help them fight bullying and not stand idly by.

The campaign, which launched just a few days ago, has so far shown amazing results:

BBR Saatchi & Saatchi and the StopCancer Association present: The Cancer That Stuck Me

A campaign for a new Cancer Association dedicated raising awareness to the needs of young adult cancer patients.

Every day in Israel, ten young adults ages 18-40 find out they are have cancer. Still, the country’s support system does not recognize this age category as a population with special needs.

Quite the opposite in fact. For many of these young adults who are just starting out in life – starting a family, buying an apartment, beginning their careers; getting cancer means getting stuck.

Why? Because young cancer patients (and even recovering young cancer patients) can’t get a mortgage, women cancer patients are not told to freeze their eggs (in spite of what you can imagine cancer treatments may do to their ability to conceive & have a baby) and 60% of them are not hired back to work. For them, getting cancer means getting stuck.

The “Stop Cancer” association was created to change that and provide a network of support for young adults with cancer. Therefore, in honour of the first ‘Young Adult Cancer Awareness Week’, we launched #The_Cancer_That_Stuck_Me.

The idea behind the campaign was to emphasize that while a ‘regular’ 29-year-old, buying his first apartment, life is on track to move forward, the life of another person that same age, who just was diagnosed with cancer, suddenly gets stuck. While he is asked to deal with the disease, once recovered buying an apartment will be an impossible dream as he will not be eligible for any funding or mortgage.

The campaign carried which was carried out on every media platform available, attempts to illustrate our cancer patients getting stuck and began with organic Instagram stories which hit a nerve and spread everywhere as hundreds of celebrities joined our cause and shared their stories. Live prime television broadcasts froze, live radio broadcasts got stuck as did TV Promos, Movie trailers and YouTube pre-rolls. Even Israeli President Mr. Reuven Rivlin voiced his position in support of our goal.

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 & Meuhedet Health Fund present: Little Superheroes An augmented reality experience

Children adore being superheroes. They play with superhero dolls and mimic their signature moves, climbing on the couch just to jump off it seconds later in an attempt to fly soaring through the air just like Superman, Wonder Woman or whichever superhero is the latest flavour of the month.

But unlike superheroes, when kids go wild they can get hurt and break an arm. And when that happens, they are the farthest thing from being a hero … and their tears just leave us adults feeling helpless and powerless.

It’s exactly for cases like these, that the Meuhedet Health Fund launched a new and unique Augmented Reality experience: “Little Superheroes”. Starting today, all doctors treating kids for broken arms will apply onto kids’ casts a special band which when scanned through the health fund’s app turns their arm into a bionic arm – complete with laser beams, spikes and other superpowers – just like their favourite heroes. A sure way to make kids’ tears stop almost instantly and ensure that instead of sitting at school in a corner of the playground while their friends play – they are able to take part and become the heroes of the playground.

We Don’t Want To Be Strong : Palestinian Israeli Bereaved Families for Peace

Losing a child, a husband, a brother, a daughter, a sister or simply a loved one is always painful. But when it happens before their time, because of hate, human belligerence and fear of the other – it is intolerable. Almost unbearable and extremely hard to carry.

So naturally, people tell you to be strong. But who wants to be strong when it is a loss you are reminded of every day. In the smiles of others but also in the void that is left behind. A void and emptiness it takes superhuman strength to deal with – not to overcome because you don’t overcome this kind of loss.

So the little energy you have left, you dedicate to making sure this doesn’t happen again.
To someone else. To another mother, sister, wife or daughter.

For International Women’s Day, the women of the “Palestinian Israeli Bereaved Families for Peace” are reaching out with a message of empowerment to women everywhere and a prayer:

To all you women out there, we wish you to be strong.
Strong enough to protect your loved ones.
Strong enough to teach them to resolve conflict through dialogue.
Strong enough to prevent the next loss.
Not strong enough to mourn it.
