Campaign: FitChix
Brand: Honest Eggs Co.
Cannes Category: Innovation
Creative making the pick: Yehoon Lee, VP, executive creative director, Cheil Worldwide, Seoul
This is a lovely, adorable, and healthy campaign. Here, creatives developed the first-ever step counter that tracks chickens' steps, and printed chickens' step counts onto the eggs. No need for confusing terms such as 'free range', 'open range', 'cage free'. This can change the game in egg industry in a very cheerful way.
Campaign: Phone It In
Brand: Skinny
Cannes Category: Radio
Creative making the pick: Paul Chan, Chief creative officer, Cheil Worldwide, Hong Kong
Telco provider Skinny loves to find ingenious ways to save money for its customers. And here, they’ve not only taken it to the next level, they’ve knocked it out of the park. Instead of shelling out big bucks for celebrities to feature in their ads, Skinny plastered posters (featuring contextual radio scripts) all across the country, inviting anyone with a sense of humour to record a script and 'phone it in'. It’s simple. It’s funny. And it’s a brilliant way of turning an OOH campaign into a low-cost radio campaign, all in the name of keeping prices down. Who knew saving money could be this much fun? It's a great piece of work.
Campaign: BotHard
Brand: MTV India
Cannes Category: Direct, Entertainment Lion for Music, Radio & Audio, Social & Influencer
Creative making the pick: Vikash Chemjong, Chief creative officer, Cheil Worldwide, India
The campaign is relevant to younger audience of the brand, and rides on the global AI trend.
Cheil Worldwide's own pick:
Campaign: Knock Knock
Brand: Korean National Police Agency
Cannes Category: Media, Mobile, Glass, Titanium
Creative making the pick: Yehoon Lee, VP, executive creative director, Cheil Worldwide, Seoul
Authenticity, gender equality, and technology are the bottom line of this campaign. To fight violence against women, it proposes a surprisingly simple idea supported by well-knitted tech-based solution. In a time when brand's authenticity is the need of the hour, this campaign could be a strong example.
