DDB Stockholm’s “Fun Theory” effort for Volkswagen and Wieden & Kennedy’s “Chalkbot” for Nike Livestrong earned Cyber Grand Prix, capping off a winning run on this year’s awards circuit for both agencies and campaigns. Check them out below:
Total number of Cyber Lions awarded: Two Grand Prix, 15 Gold Lions, 30 Silver Lions and 52 Bronze Lions.
Why they won: Both campaigns were prime examples of two themes that emerged from the best work seen during the judging process: invisible technology and “real-time” interaction. The greatest innovations supported “this notion that technology will reach its peak when you don’t even realize it’s there,” said Mr. Benjamin, quoting one of the jury members. “The stuff that was so innovative was the stuff that seemed magical. It had technology, but that’s not what was showing.”
What’s next: The award-wining work, said Mr. Benjamin, “points to the future of how we’ll work together in our industry — this notion of creatives coming together with technologists. It’s not about just the art director and writer anymore, it’s about technology, the interaction designer, all these people coming together. It’s probably been happening for a while, but that’s now entering larger agencies.”
Added juror Robert Rasmussen of Tribal DDB: “When you look through the work that won, you can feel the technology present in the creative process. If you go through all these winners, you’d be hard pressed to find one that didn’t have technology woven into the creative solution.”
Everyone from the mainstream media to celebrities is obsessing over Chatroulette, the website that randomly connects users through one-on-one videochat with strangers around the world.
This new “internet sensation”, is definitely an opportunity for advertising and the people at Poke London managed to do something really smart with it. They developed a promotion for French Connection. In essense you had to seduce a woman via Chatroulette then send evidence to French Connection for your chance to win $250.
