The push to reduce the amount of meat in our diets has continued apace, with Beyond Meat being among the brands leading the charge with their bold, heavily typographic branding.
Combining Beyond Meat's typographic style with the oft-used censoring asterisk, this video ad takes a number of popular meat products, and through replacing a letter with an asterisk, makes them sound rather less savoury. This helps challenge the customer's concept of meat as a desirable thing to consume.

We often put on a brave face when our mental health isn’t great, claiming to be
‘fine’ or ‘okay’ or ‘alright’ when in reality we’re anything but. Mind want to raise
awareness of this fact in a super simple way, using small text hidden within larger
text, with the smaller text revealing how someone is really feeling when they
pretend nothing’s wrong. By literalising sub-text in this way, Mind can help the
people of England – a country in which 1 in 4 of us experiences a mental health
problem each year – realise that to be struggling mentally is far from unusual.

Whales are becoming increasingly more difficult to find. Blue whales are endangered and other species are critical.
Pollution on the other hand is not. It’s everywhere. And along with plastic waste, whaling and overfishing, it’s killing our sea life.
So to raise awareness of these issues on Earth Day, we created ‘Where’s Willy?’.
Inspired by Where’s Wally, this book challenges users to find the whale in amongst the ocean waste and attempt to free him. But of course it’s not that easy, and offers a realistic representation of our polluted planet.
Fun for children but with a hidden message, this idea was loved by WWF and shared across their social channels.

Prime: A drink that’s caused chaos around the UK. Why? Because it’s got KSI and Logan Paul’s names on. It’s had hordes of fans queuing up day and night to get their hands on it, some less-than-scrupulous folk bulk-buying to sell at a premium online, and people throwing money at it on eBay. £150+ for a bottle of water? Yikes. As ridiculous as the hype around Prime is in itself, it’s thrown into the realms of the absurd when juxtaposed with the fact that 2.2 billion people worldwide don’t even have access to clean water. In the UK, you’ve got people fighting in shops over an energy drink; elsewhere, people with nothing have to walk miles for water that’s safe to drink – or go without.

Food prices in the UK have risen as much as 43% in the last year alone, food banks are giving out more food than is being donated, and over four million people are choosing whether to heat or eat daily.
Our government's response: work more.
AisleHelp is a campaign against rising food poverty in the UK. Executed as a stunt the campaign hijacks the irresistible power of the reduced item sticker and inverts it to an 'Increased item' tag, drawing shopper's attention to rising food prices, raising money for food banks and holding the government to account.
Stickers were placed on the essential food items which had risen most in price, each sticker contained a QR code, which when scanned took shoppers to a landing page where they could donate money directly to The Trussell Trust and download their own sticker to help stick it to the scran. https://aislehelp.co.uk/

We’ve all seen the world’s most wanted list. Full of dangerous criminals. There’s an irony in the word we use to describe these people – wanted. Because when it comes to the world’s most vulnerable, refugees. People whose only crime is having been displaced from the countries they love through war or famine or some other such catastrophe. Those that truly need our help. They’re anything but wanted.
Biased media coverage and the language politicians use has a real, negative effect on the public's perception of refugees. We’ll drive change by giving refugees the platform to tell their own stories in their own words, creating empathy and understanding.

As of 2022, the increase in raw sewage released into UK waterways was 2,553% over five years. The Government’s strategy to deal with it was described as ‘flimsy’ by Labour leader Keir Starmer and we think this Government’s defence of all their lies is too.
This suggested bit of guerrilla marketing for the Labour Party’s next election campaign addresses two issues
faced by the UK at the same time – the environment and
a government that can’t be trusted.

Problem: Testicular cancer is the #1 cancer in younger men. Early signs are easily detectable but men don't take enough notice of their balls.
Insight: For many years the discussion around Michelangelo's David has done the same with one of the main questions being asked “why does he have a small penis?”
Idea: Did he actually have a small penis?... Or are his testicles swollen?
How it works: After scanning the QR code, the users will be taken to a microsite which uses their camera. Once they have aligned the camera to David, he will come alive and demonstrate how to get to know your marbles better.

Iceland rebrands to “Land” in protest at other supermarkets’ slow climate action.
Iceland are supermarket sustainability leaders having reduced their operational carbon by 74% since 2011, their food waste by 19.2% since 2018, and their own label plastic packaging by 20.5% since 2017.
But they’re ahead of the competition - and if other supermarkets don’t keep up, there won’t be any ice left! That’s why to raise awareness and demand action, Iceland are rebranding to just “Land” for the month of June.

During the 2018 World Cup, Neymar's dramatic falls went viral. And what did Brazilians do? Well, what they do best: memes.
Having seen a number of these collapses, inspiration hit. I created the NeyType, an exclusive typography out of the famous, or infamous, footballer Neymar, notorious for "Oscar-worthy" falls on the field.
The font was initially created as a joke, shared on social media as a funny way to commemorate Neymar's antics on the field. But it quickly became popular, downloaded over 30 thousand times in 2 days, being shared by 9gag, BuzzFeed and even celebrities like Julieta Venegas on Twitter and being featured on media outlets worldwide like CNN, BBC, ESPN.
Its unique style made it perfect for brands to inject a bit of humour into their designs and capture the attention of younger audiences, leading to being used on promotional materials, although I never approved for commercial use.

In 2022, AMV BBDO created a visually stunning summer campaign for Diageo, a build on the “Looks like Guinness” concept. These ads were widely celebrated, but needed to be vandalised to show the potential dangers of drinking and swimming. On average 80 people lose their lives each year through substance-related drowning in the UK and by showing the reality of what that “Looks Like”, I turned these award-winning alcohol adverts into a drowning prevention campaign for the RLSS.

In December 2022, the UK government launched their 'It all adds up' campaign – advising the public on 'simple, low or no-cost actions' they can take to cut their household bills amid the cost of living crisis. Seems a bit rich when energy companies like Shell have been recording sky-high profits in the same period. Our campaign takes those ads and dials the absurdity up to 11, to highlight how ineffective their tips actually are – and how we should be demanding real solutions instead. Like a competent government for starters.

The iconic Henry and Hetty are the go-to vacuum cleaners for tradespeople and businesses everywhere. While the vacuum stands up to the test of time, their binary gender branding doesn’t.
Over half of millennials and Generation Z believe that the traditional gender binary is already outdated. It’s time Henry came out of the box.
Meet Henby – a nod to the product’s past and a smile to its future. Inspired by the term ‘enby’ (short for non-binary), they’re for every non-binary person (and ally) who wants to clean up without gender identity making a mess of things.
They can even customise their own Henby online – picking a pride flag for the body, adding eyes that look ‘totally you’ and choosing a smile that says it all.
Henby – it’s still the same great vacuum, just a bit more true to themselves.

Summary entry description
Vegan Friendly is on a mission to help humanity save the planet. To do this, they need to blast through people’s apathy, cognitive dissonance, and hypocrisy.
Aimed squarely at people who sit on the fence, this TV spot was designed to shock and get virtue signallers to make the connection between what they’re saying and what they’re eating.
Clearcast were understandably worried about the animal sequences, but ultimately cleared it for broadcast after we pointed out the clips were all things you see normalised in cooking shows or nature docs. The grotesque close-ups, shock edits and juxtaposition to the contradictory statements made by the characters are what create the impact. Cue the predictable controversy, public outrage and eventual banning of the ad. Safe to say our brief to stir people out of complacency, get conversations started and stir shit amongst the wokerati was nailed!
Hope you agree.

We couldn’t be in deeper shit. Who would have expected that 30 years after UK water companies were privatised, we’d see millions of hours of raw sewage poured into our rivers and seas every year?
So where are our water rates going? OFWAT reports that in 2021-22 the water industry only spent 68% of its forecast enhancement cost allowances while paying out over £1bn in dividends (up over 122% on the previous year!).
As Water UK speaks on behalf of UK water and wastewater companies, we wanted to give them an ad campaign that makes customers aware of their crucial role in funding water industry shareholders, and some sound advice for swimmers: stay out of the water. After all, you’ve swallowed enough shit already, haven’t you?

Everything about this 2-dimensional pig they call Peppa makes me want to shove an apple in her mouth and boil her in full-fat coke!
Her voice, her selfish entitled attitude, the way she never says thank you... and let's not mention how she treats poor Daddy Pig.
I think I speak for all parents when I say – "F*ck you Peppa, and can someone pass the apple sauce, please"

My 11 years old son has recently been given detention at school for forgetting to wear his blazer. However… he’s never forgotten to wear his shoes to school. So, why not give him a checklist he can’t possibly miss? A checklist, on the insoles of his shoes. A list of all the essential items he needs to avoid detention, in an unmissable location.
The insoles, sponsored by YoungMinds – a children’s mental health charity – are made in collaboration with Scholl, and would be customised at the online order stage to fit your forgetful child’s needs. They’re a way to ensure your child puts their right foot forward everyday, supporting their mental wellbeing.

It’s the guns. A collection of ads that take well-known works of art in U.S. collections and inserts bullet holes to show how the intrusion of gunfire ruins beautiful, collective moments. The campaign calls attention to the work of Moms Demand Action, a grassroots movement of Americans fighting for public safety measures to protect people from gun violence, with a call to action to join their efforts via text. The ads will be depicted in out-of-home large format in high-trafficked commute and tourist gathering spaces.

Coffee grounds are 28x a worse pollutant than carbon dioxide. Unfortunately, the world throws out 18M tons of it every year. Nespresso, one of the world's biggest coffee brands, recognized that it's part of the problem. So, they created the Coffee Brick—a sustainable construction material made with coffee waste.
The innovation will first be launched in Colombia—home of Nespresso farmers—where disaster struck with Hurricane Julia. Coffee Bricks are used to rebuild the country's destroyed villages and communities. We also encourage coffee lovers to send us their coffee waste and competitors to adopt the initiative.

We would like to propose an idea for modern people who are always exposed to the threat of text neck syndrome: making a password pattern based on neck stretches so that they can naturally practice neck stretching in daily life. The method is simple. You can make a five-digit password based on four stretching patterns, and use the recorded cellphone’s screen time so that when the phone has been used for a prolonged time, it need to be unlocked again through the Stretching ID. Stretching ID will help modern people who use their phones very often to prevent turtle neck syndrome by encouraging them to stretch when needed.

In May 2022, the WHO announced cases of MPox had been identified in several countries across the world.
In the UK, the LGBTQI+ community was disproportionately affected – not helped by the UK media having pushed a narrative full of stigma, and a slow 2nd dose vaccine roll out.
We wanted to cut through the judgemental tones of mainstream media and provide a PSA campaign in locations where those who needed support most can access it - while celebrating London’s vibrant queer scene, and giving hope that things would soon go back to normal. We created a sticker campaign, and took over the toilet stalls of bars and clubs across Hackney, with a lighthearted and judgement-free campaign, helping people to recognise the symptoms, self-diagnose and, most importantly, gain instant support discreetly through their phone using a QR code directly to the NHS support page.

Surviving a stroke is already a triumph. But with rehab being too expensive and inaccessible, it's easy to lose motivation and just give up on recovery. If this happens, their health is at an even bigger risk.
Barilla noticed that every pasta shape requires its own unique set of motor skills—the same ones that are retrained during stroke rehab.
So, we created a pasta box set that serves as a motor skill retraining program—one that's affordable and accessible, so that you won't skip a day without recovery.

*“Having sex with someone you don't live with is illegal from today under coronavirus lockdown laws”. That’s the life we were all living back in 2020. No wonder we all felt so sexually frustrated.
So what do you do if you’re looking to scratch that itch? Where can you go to find your ride? For many it’s Tinder. And it’s why it was the perfect place to show off Nasty Gal’s range of sex toys.
We created a profile for each of the toys with fun and satirical bios that show off the product features and personality. From ‘good vibes’ to ‘tied up not tied down’, these profiles were packed with hilarious innuendos and subtle digs at the world of dating.
This rebellious and unexpected tone of voice aligned perfectly with the Nasty Gal brand.

Poaching has seen a growth of 9,000%, most illegal activity occurring in the Kruger National park. Millions of tourists visit each year, with increasingly better internet coverage, it has become a standard to post selfies on social posing with endangered species, frequently present in these parks. The problem is that people are able to geo tag locations, aiding poachers to locate and kill these animals who are disappearing at an alarming rate. We'll rebrand selfies in national parks with #killerselfie, raising global awareness of what this dangerous behaviour on social can lead to. We'll kick off by ring fencing the biggest national park in South Africa, Kruger National Park, so when users try to geo tag their location it will be replaced with the message #killerselfie. On tagged posts within this zone, the national park’s social community management team will educate the selfie taker and greater public.

Summary entry description
Brittany Ferries specialise in short breaks for keen holidaymakers. We decided to create a set of ads designed specifically for ‘desk’ workers who are in need of a break, combining posing questions with a keyboard ‘key’ imagery. The direct use of personalisation increases the likelihood that the audience will engage with the ads since we pay more attention to things when they are relevant to us, increasing their ability to stand out and remain memorable.
Ads would be run during key points of the day, ‘time to esc’ at the end of the day (or the start of the day!), 'work out of ctrl' mid-day, ‘another long shift’ after hours for those working late, while ‘in need of some sun’ would appear during dull, or wet days. The ads would also work well as tube-train ads or via out-of-home, appealing to commuters.

A campaign to help LEGO stand out amongst a sea of copycat products. Their origins as the very first construction block toy provided the key thought to present them as a tool of inspiration throughout human history. Inspiring mankind to build, create and discover, while also putting a twist on LEGO's philosophy of "Inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow".
An additional element of the campaign focuses on museums and the fact that they are often thought of as places of learning, discovery and imagination. These values also perfectly illustrate LEGO as a brand, so putting LEGO imagery and objects in these settings too seemed a no-brainer. Labels next to each item give a fictional yet believable and playful backstory.

Made from the world’s most famous taglines, this open-source idea invites brands to get generous with their taglines on social media platforms. They Tweet a subverted version of their tagline to support the Covid-19 vaccination drive by the WHO and then nominate other brands to join in.
But it doesn’t stop there. #LendYourTagline works for global brands and it works just as well for locally famous brands across the globe. Locally and regionally famous brands can subvert their taglines, opening the campaign to countless languages including Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, French, German, Urdu, Hindi, Russian, Japanese, Punjabi, Swahili, Mandarin, Arabic among many others.
#LendYourTagline can be the largest vaccination campaign. And certainly, the most famous.

During the 2018 World Cup, Neymar's dramatic falls went viral. And what did Brazilians do? Well, what they do best: memes.
Having seen a number of these collapses, inspiration hit. I created the NeyType, an exclusive typography out of the famous, or infamous, footballer Neymar, notorious for "Oscar-worthy" falls on the field.
The font was initially created as a joke and shared on social media as a funny way to commemorate Neymar's antics on the field. But it quickly became popular, downloaded over 30 thousand times in 2 days, shared by 9gag, BuzzFeed and even celebrities like Julieta Venegas on Twitter and featured on media outlets worldwide like CNN, BBC, ESPN.
Its unique style made it perfect for brands to inject a bit of humour into their designs and capture the attention of younger audiences, leading to being used on promotional materials, although I never approved it for commercial use.

It’s use of repetition across the page, is a fun dig at those awards and then, somewhere in the crowd, is you. A lone individual, with a stand-out idea and stand-out creative sensibilities. The ad is both a celebration of the Chip Shops and a challenge to enter (and win) one.

Meet Henby – a nod to the product’s past and a smile to its future. Inspired by the term ‘enby’ (short for non-binary), they’re for every non-binary person (and ally) who wants to clean up without gender identity making a mess of things.
They can even customise their own Henby online – picking a pride flag for the body, adding eyes that look ‘totally you’ and choosing a smile that says it all.

In 1908, the Russian Tsarist government hangs 20 peasants in the Ukrainian city of Kherson. Soon after, Russian author Leo Tolstoy denounces the actions in an essay called ‘I Cannot Be Silent’.
Today in Russia, many popular jokes exist whereby Tolstoy’s most famous novel War and Peace is changed to ‘Special Military Operation’ and Peace.
The truth is many of his titles already accurately depict today’s war in Ukraine with no edits required.
How Much Land Does a Man Need?
The Raid.
And of course, Diary of a Lunatic.
100 years since Tolstoy’s essay Russia continues to commit atrocities in Ukraine and still, Tolstoy cannot be silenced.
To raise funds for Ukrainian charities, Penguin Books create a limited edition run of Tolstoy novels showcasing contemporary cover artworks influenced by the war in Ukraine, as well as important introductory essays on the politics of the war.
P.S. Putin’s favourite writer?

Advertising regulations are set up to make sure people know exactly what they’re being sold, but army recruitment slips through the net.
Recent campaigns for the Royal Navy highlight how enlisting can change your life. That may be true, but there are two sides to it. The country-hopping, patriotic, Call-Of-Duty side is glamorised, while the traumatic and dangerous side is reduced to a potential side effect. As a result, young people are enticed to enroll without understanding the full picture.
So, by flipping the well-known campaign line ‘Made in the Royal Navy’, our tactical campaign for the Samaritans goes a step further than what’s usually portrayed in recruitment adverts. These ads skip the journey of self-discovery that young people are seduced by and go straight to the possible reality they’re left with.

Adopt an animal, get a cuddly toy. That’s been a WWF tactic for decades. However, with a worsening environmental crisis, adopting an animal probably isn’t enough. Unless drastic action is taken now, there’s a very real chance that the fate of many beloved species is already sealed. So, what does a world without live Koalas, Tigers, Pandas, Elephants, Whales and Bees look like? Let’s just say, AI certainly can’t replace them.
AI is both fascinating and terrifying. Because of its rapid growth, people are increasingly fearing for their futures. Maybe that’ll give them a sense of how the natural world has been feeling for the last 200 years. We decided to combine the two fears together, letting our AI overlords come up with the visuals and copy for this concept. Thanks to ChatGPT and Adobe Firefly, we barely had to lift a finger. We should probably be worried about that.
