ICF Olson: Commerce Bank 'Challenge Accepted'

Agency: ICF Olson
Client: Commerce Bank
Date: July 2017
The newest brand campaign from ICF Olson and Commerce Bank, titled 'Challenge Accepted' uses a series of spots featuring user-generated content of footage of exciting moments from real people – like having a child, getting married, and going to college.
But these big beautiful moments can also become agonizing, challenging financial moments, as well, so the content highlights how Commerce Bank will take care of finances so you can focus on the good parts of life.
The ICF Olson collective is helping Commerce Bank transform into a digitally focused bank, while staying true to the people they serve. The bank, which has survived for 150 years and is deeply rooted in the values they’ve upheld, is taking on a fresh and innovative approach to go to market with the help of the collective. This work demonstrates that Commerce Bank doesn't just understand people, they understand that life is never perfect or glossy but that’s what makes it memorable.

MullenLowe U.S.: American Greetings 'Not Alone'

Agency: MullenLowe U.S.
Client: American Greetings
Date: July 2017
American Greetings understands that holidays and calendar occasions are not always celebratory for everyone. With that in mind, the company is highlighting aspiring parents and their journey as a very real, and all too common, life scenario where support and acknowledgement make a difference. In the second installment of its 'Give Meaning' campaign, a video entitled 'Not Alone' serves as a rallying cry, encouraging people to show up for each other in everyday moments – especially during times in our lives when the response isn’t always intuitive, like infertility.
To raise awareness of the importance of offering support to those experiencing infertility, the brand has partnered with Resolve: The National Infertility Association. Together, they hope to spark a thoughtful conversation that influences and inspires others to show up when it’s needed most. According to Resolve more than seven million people of childbearing age in the United States experience infertility. American Greetings realized this topic was one that many people can relate to, whether personally or through friends and family members, and joined forces with the 43-year-old organization in our efforts to encourage meaningful connections during times when a response is not always instinctive because Resolve was created to connect those feeling alone in their struggle with infertility by providing a community of empathy, kindness and support.
To join the conversation, consumers are asked to share a real moment that really meant something to you with #GiveMeaning.

North: Peet's Coffee 'True Cold Brew'

Agency: North
Client: Peet's Coffee
Date: July 2017
Cold-brewed coffee seems to be everywhere — but, more often than not, it’s not fully cold brewed. Peet’s Coffee & Tea and Portland-based agency North highlight that difference in a new campaign for Peet’s Coldcraft line of Cold Brew coffees.
Peet's leveraged its fifty-plus years of handcrafted expertise to develop a line of bottled Cold Brew, currently sold only in its home state of California. To drum up excitement around the product line, Peet’s turned to North to develop a creative and highly integrative marketing campaign throughout California.
Creative focused on calling out the difference by highlighting the benefits of Peet’s process of cold brewing and ensuring cold through its owned chilled delivery system: fresh and better flavor. The video ad pairs LA artist Harriet Brown’s track “Cryptid” with images of Santa Clauses, cool cats, snow globes, and orcas (carrying bottles of coffee, naturally). The campaign includes social video, an out-of-home BART station takeover, and custom mobile ad units.

Truth Collective: LensCrafters 'See. Good. Daily.'

Agency: Truth Collective
Client: LensCrafters
Date: July 2017
Truth Collective, LensCrafters’ creative agency, has launched the new phase of the successful ‘See. Good. Daily’ campaign for the brand. Breaking this week in Boston-based cinema and digital as well as TV in Orlando, digital channels will be live on a rolling basis.
The campaign brings the message of ‘seeing life through a different lens’ to the brand, creating deep emotions to LensCrafter’s core values of helping people see better. The spots, shot in Los Angeles, introduce ‘The Good Portal,’ a concave window built into a wall in a vibrant and diverse Los Angeles neighborhood, and provides a hidden experience for people to enjoy.
When people take a peek into the portal, they are brought into an awe-inspiring performance from the talented ‘Los Angeles Children’s Orchestra’ and ‘MUSYCA’, California’s leading performing arts organization for kids. Those looking into the portal see a mix of children performing in an orchestra and choir, singing and playing instruments. An original song was scored for the campaign titled, ‘See. Good. Music.’ and two-time Grammy-nominated, David Schuler. Now based in Los Angeles, he is originally from the hometown of Truth Collective, Rochester.

Kind Snacks: Kind Snacks 'Kids Aren't Always KIND.... But Their Snacks Should Be'

Agency: Kind Snacks
Client: Kind Snacks
Date: July 2017
We all know that certain type of person. One that incessantly posts on Facebook of their perfect, clean, angel-like looking children. And you ask yourself, why is my child currently screaming bloody murder because they dropped a Cheerio? Why did I give them a magic marker and leave them in their bedroom unattended? 
Kids aren’t always kind. But Kind at least thinks their snacks should be. But how can a snack be kind if their first ingredient is tapioca syrup, maltodextrin or corn syrup, like in many fruit snacks. With this branding campaign, Kind announces the first-ever “kind” fruit snack made from just fruit. Introducing: Kind Fruit Snacks. Just three ingredients or less and no added sugar.

McCann Santo Domingo: NIDO - Nestle 'Umbilicar'

Agency: McCann Santo Domingo
Client: NIDO - Nestle
Date: February 2017
To confront the danger of kids being left alone in hot cars, which directly threatens Nido consumers, the Nestlé powdered milk brand for infants and children, McCann Santo Domingo created Umbilicar, a car safety device that prevents parents from forgetting their children inside vehicles.
The name Umbilicar derives from the association between the simplicity of the device’s functionality and the resemblance to the umbilical cord. The agency worked with expert product designers to produce a low-cost, highly effective analog device that can easily be used by anyone driving a child in a car. The device acts as a second seat belt over the child seat that won’t let drivers leave the vehicle without unbuckling the child seat.
The initiative was a success: in just one week, over 10,000 Umbilicar units were distributed in samplings programs at kinder gardens and schools. Massive press coverage has led to an additional 300,000 units to be under production. Nido’s sales in the Dominican Republic grew 27% during the campaign period.

Interplanetary: "Thirteen, WNET PBS affiliate (268288)" 'Fight for Thirteen'

Agency: Interplanetary
Client: "Thirteen, WNET PBS affiliate (268288)"
Date: June 2017

'Thirteen is Worth Fighting For' is meant to inspire and encourage the public to show support for Thirteen, before Congress possibly severely cuts or defunds the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), an important source of funding for Thirteen and all PBS and NPR stations.

The campaign created by agency Interplanetary is the first advocacy campaign for Thirteen, WNET’s tri-state-area PBS affiliate, focusing on generating impact through individual action, with lines such as, “If you believe Thirteen is worth fighting for, join us.” The copy is enhanced with visuals of some of the most beloved images from Thirteen's lineup of acclaimed PBS programming, including the popular American Masters and Great Performances series and a variety of renowned children’s programs from Cyberchase to Sesame Street.

Creative executions include digital and out-of-home. The campaign continues through the summer.

WMcCann: Del Valle 'Transforming label printing scale'

Agency: WMcCann
Client: Del Valle
Date: July 2017
The growing interest in a healthier nutrition makes consumers buy fruits at the supermarket to prepare natural juices at home. On the other hand, due to a daily busy routine, it is hard to find time to squeeze fruits. Having this in mind, Del Valle promoted a special activation at Deli Delícia supermarket chain, in order to show a much more practical way to drink a 100% fruit, nutritious and tasty juice.
Consumers who visited the supermarket recently had a surprise after weighing their fruits. A scale that has been specially developed for the activation printed an exclusive label for those buying oranges or apples, entitling the customers to a free bottle of Del Valle 100% in order for them to try the product.
On the label, consumers found a message highlighting that Del Valle 100% is rich in fibers and vitamin C, just like in natural fruit. And with the new PET packaging, it is perfect to be consumed anywhere.
Daniel Dranger, IMC Manager of Coca-Cola Brazil said: "Coca Cola is investing more and more in ideas like this. We need to make it clear to consumers that Del Valle wants to be part of the solution."

Joan Creative: Fiber One 'She Shed'

Agency: Joan Creative
Client: Fiber One
Date: July 2017
With this new spot, complete with a bold narrator, Fiber One is embracing strong women who are taking a moment to put themselves first, all while featuring Fiber One products. Just as the leading lady is able to indulge in her 'She Shed' without apologies, she too is able to indulge in the delicious flavor of Fiber One.
In it, a woman ascends the staircase of her home carrying a basket of laundry. She looks into the camera and says: “For years, men have enjoyed their man caves without guilt. Now, it's mama's turn. Welcome to my She Shed.” She opens what appears to be a closet door to reveal her sacred space – her She Shed.
Natural light shines in on the space adorned with items like a cheetah print chaise lounge, flowing drapes, an abundance of throw pillows, magazines, a posh kitten and a clock that only tells “Me Time.” As she moves about the room, the woman curates the space filled with her favorite things, the most important being her treats.

Team One: Indian Motorcycle 'Indian Motorcycle Ink'

Agency: Team One
Client: Indian Motorcycle
Date: July 2017
Indian Motorcycle, America’s first motorcycle company, has created the world’s first tattoo ink composed of the carbon from freestyle motocross icon Carey Hart’s modified Indian Scout Hooligan racing bike. The carbon was carefully extracted from a sample of tire rubber obtained from a burnout Hart performed on the bike.
 
Now die-hard Indian Motorcycle loyalists and Carey Hart fans can bond with the freestyle motocross legend like never before, getting their own tattoos using this rare ink infused with Hart’s burnout. Hart was the first subject for the ink, getting tattooed with his newborn son’s name.
The safe and sterile ink from Hart’s burnout was distilled by ink-making pioneer, Franco Vescovi of Nocturnal Ink. It will be used exclusively at Vescovi’s Vatican Studios in Lake Forest, CA and at four Hart & Huntington Tattoo shops in Las Vegas, Orlando, Niagara Falls and Nashville beginning July 11 until they run out, and the ink is gone forever.
 
The campaign, created by Team One, Publicis Groupe's premium and luxury brand agency, includes a partnership with Inked Magazine including an advertorial spread in the July/August issue and a 90-second film.
