Let’s get into it..
Heineken: Working Late
Heineken pulled off an impressive guerrilla marketing stunt to address the culture of working late, to highlight how this can negatively affect your work-life balance. Fittingly, this activation was set in the New York’s borough of Manhattan (The City That Never Sleeps) and targets the lonely office workers whose office room is lit up in seemingly deserted skyscrapers.

London Zoo
London Zoo has sent us a powerful conservation message by simply placing a crocodile handbag in the crocodile enclosure. The message is driven home with the sign below the enclosure, that reads:
“This bag used to be found swimming in slow-moving rivers and streams across Southeast Asia and Indonesia. Over the last 75 years, more than 80% of Siamese crocodiles have disappeared. Many, like this one, were hunted for their skins as part of the illegal wildlife trade”.

Unbreakable Courts: Budweiser
I can imagine this one resonates with a lot of young people in Dublin at the moment, with cultural hotspots like music venues and art spaces constantly being knocked down to be replaced by hotels. In a similar fashion, basketball courts in the US are being torn up to add to the ever-expanding real estate game. Budweiser’s new campaign, created by Africa agency, shows the importance of keeping these treasured local spaces and has found a loophole to stop them from being built over by these pesky developers.

American Red Cross: A Bloody Nightmare
The American Red Cross is highlighting the importance of donating during the US blood donation crisis with a horror movie-themed public service announcement. What better way to deliver this theme, than Scream’s very own Neve Campbell? In this one-minute horror flick, Neve plays the protagonist among a cast of delightful horror cliches, as they detail how their blood will be wasted by dying horror-movie style. They close the ad with the clever slogan “Blood Isn’t Just For Movies… It Saves Lives”.

Kubota Engines: Syn Music.
A lovely piece from one of our friends from Worldwide Partners, Syn Music created the original music and sound design for a new Kubota music film to celebrate their 100+ years of agricultural productivity. In this short film, we can hear ambient clinks and clanks of factory machines quickly develop into something that starts to resemble a piece of music.
