M&C Saatchi: Transport for London (TfL) 'Share the Road'

Brand: Transport for London (TfL)

Title(s): Share the Road

Agency: M&C Saatchi

Agency Website: http://www.mcsaatchi.com/

Creative Director: Elspeth Lynn

Creative Director for Social: Michael Jason Hobbs

Art Director: Luke Boggins

Copywriter: Dan McCormack

Additional Credits: Digital Account Director: Neil Young

Planner/CSU Director: Cressida O’Shea, Stuart Harrison

Producer: Estella Alvares

Media Agency: MEC

Production House: Stink

Published: July 2014

Short Rationale (optional): Transport for London and M&C Saatchi have unveiled a new, influential campaign entitled ‘Share the Road’, which acknowledges the challenges of using London’s busy streets. The campaign calls for people to change their mind-set from a competitive to a considerate one, and aims to help them rethink their attitudes towards each other.

The evocative TV ad, shot in black and white, focuses on a Londoner asking rhetorically why we get so angry with each other when different forms of transport and people clash.

As the video unfolds, and the melancholic music begins to play, the film cuts to different scenes of conflict on the streets; from the anger and frustration of a cyclist and motorcyclist, to the simmering rage between a car driver and a group of youths. The video illustrates the tension real Londoners experience.

The scenes show a vivid, authentic London - gritty, edgy, yet at the same time possessing a real beauty. As these situations roll out the narrator advises viewers to “breathe in, breath out, the moment has gone, it’s time to move on,” showcasing the need for London travellers to be more considerate towards one another.

Believe In: Colours of the Kalahari 'An exhibition of art and wildlife by the First Peoples'

Brand: Colours of the Kalahari

Title(s): An exhibition of art and wildlife by the First Peoples

Agency: Believe In

Agency Website: http://www.believein.co.uk

Creative Director: Blair Thomson

Designer: Tish England

Copywriter: Tim Burley

Published: July 2014

Short Rationale (optional): Visual identity, print and environmental graphics for the first major exhibition of southern African Bushman art ever held in London, at the Mall Galleries.

The current artists whose work featured in the exhibition represent the latest generation in an unbroken line that stretches back over 20,000 years. Their work has featured all over the world and even on the tails of British Airways planes in the 1990s.

The bold identity was created to properly reflect the importance of the event and its significance on the international stage.

Set against the irregular shapes and forms of the art, the simplicity of the typography together with the strong geometry of the K (taken from the ‘Kalahari’ and ‘Kuru Art’) serves as a reference to the arid landscape and horizon of the Kalahari Desert as well as the intersection of cultures, modernity and time. It also acts as a device to reflect the depth and vibrancy of the colour palette.

The VIP preview evening enjoyed celebrity and royal patronage, interest in the event was very high, and the majority of pieces sold long before the exhibition closed.

Brand: Blossom Hill

Title(s): The wonderful world of Blossom Hill

Agency: Isobel

Agency Website: http://www.isobel.com/

Additional Credits: Director: Jeff Wood @ The Sweetshop

Published: July 2014

Short Rationale (optional): The Wonderful World of Blossom Hill comprises two spots – one for the range, and one for Blossom Hill’s new Sun-Kissed wines.

The ads will run on TV and in cinema from 14th July. The campaign aims to encourage people to explore the different wines within the Blossom Hill range, using a language of taste cues and emotions.

The Wonderful World model was built at life size on location in Cape Town and shot by Jeff Wood through The Sweetshop.

Publicis Chemistry: Gatwick Airport 'Tempted before take off'

Brand: Gatwick Airport

Title(s): Tempted before take off

Agency: Publicis Chemistry

Agency Website: http://www.publicischemistry.com/

Art Director: Amy Holman

Copywriter: James Allen

Photographer: Jenny Van Sommers

Photographer’s Agency: Wyatt Clarke & Jones

Additional Credits: Planner/CSU Director: Kevin Allen

Media Agency: Havas Media

Published: July 2014

Short Rationale (optional): The integrated campaign, which follows the success of ‘The Gatwick Collection’ campaign in December 2013, launched on 10 July across print, OOH and digital advertising.

The series of creative executions showcase a range of aspirational products and meals, along with humorous excuses that led them to purchase such as: “But darling, you can use it too”, “I’ll wear them all the time” and “You never know when you’re going to run out”.

The creative emphasises how passengers can find the perfect excuse to treat themselves before takeoff, from Gatwick’s world class collection and its exclusive 20 per cent saving off high street prices.

adam&eveDDB: Volkswagen 'Explosion'

Title(s): Explosion

Agency: adam&eveDDB

Agency TV Producer: Pamie Wikstrom

Production Company: MOB Films

Director: Paul W.S. Anderson

Producer: John Brocklehurst

Audio Post-Production: Unit

Editing: Unit

Post-Production: Unit

Published: July 2014

Short Rationale (optional): The series of films, created by adam&eveDDB, sees the brand move away from its ‘See film differently” platform of the past few years, with the new line “Made for real life, not the movies”.

It comes from the simple observation that although Volkswagen cars may be great for the needs of everyday life, they wouldn’t be great cars to have in action movies, because of the safety technology they are equipped with.

Written by Nikki Lindman and Toby Brewer, directed by Hollywood movie director Paul W.S. Anderson at MOB Films, the films - Bus, Chase and Explosion – each portray classic action movie storylines. However, rather than featuring the typical action movie cars, Volkswagen cars star at the centre of each film.

The drama quickly unravels, thanks to various safety features, turning the films from high action and high-drama films, to anti-action films rather quickly.

DixonBaxi: UKTV Gold 'Rebrand'

UKTV GOLD Ident - Silly from DixonBaxi on Vimeo.

Brand: UKTV Gold

Title(s): Rebrand

Agency: DixonBaxi

Agency Website: http://www.dixonbaxi.com/

Published: July 2014

DixonBaxi worked closely with UKTV over the last six months to develop the brand’s positioning, voice and visual identity. The brand refresh will see a significant change to the on-screen offering including a new logo and vibrant idents and graphic package designed to delight and remind the audience how funny makes them feel.

The palette reflects the ‘brighter side of life’, while the tone of voice is full of big, chewy language that’s friendly, familiar and sometimes a bit made up. Seen in the graphic bumpers, the words pop-up in response to a cheeky tug on the logo. The idents are an eclectic and visually rich mix of shots that feature instantly recognisable metaphors that are fun and uplifting.

The two 30-second spots were directed by Tom Noakes at Photoplay.
