Our judge in category Promo & Activation is Julio Anguita, Babel’s president.

Brazilian highlights were “Security Moms,” Ogilvy for Sport Recife, who won two Golds, and “Nivea Doll”, the FCB for Nivea, with a Gold, a Silver and a Bronze. Another piece with more than one award was “Print for help” in the same FCB for HP, with a Silver and a Bronze.

The jury handed out two more Silvers to Brazil with “Loosers Fress Pass”, the DM9DDB to MASP, and “Cartoon helpline,” Ogilvy to Graacc. The same Ogilvy earned a Bronze to “IBM bitcoin rain” to IBM. Bronze went to another Lew’Lara \ TBWA, with “The contagious billboard” of Café Cacique and last for Publicis Brazil with “Skip ad festival” for Sony.

Among the agencies, FCB was the best Brazilian in Promo, with a Gold, two Silvers and two Bronzes, for two different campaigns. Ogilvy took two Golds, a Silver and a Bronze with three different campaigns. DM9DDB, Lew’Lara and Publicis won a prize each, Silver and Bronze for DM9 for the other two.

“Nivea Doll” was one of the best stocks of the category, next to “Lifepaint,” the Grey London to Volvo, who came to compete in the Grand Prix – won by the British agency. A third piece of success, but that was slightly below the two, was “Proud whopper” of David to Burger King.

“The jury discussed the Grand Prix for nearly two hours. The order of Matt Eastwood, the president of the jury, was find relevant and efficient work, but to leave a legacy to society and help people to change their lives. What weighed for Volvo is that the case had more PR answers. Is a more mature level. “Said Julio Anguita, Brazilian representative on the jury.

But “Nivea Doll” charmed the jury, according Anguita. Quite simple and easy to explain idea, the action consists of a doll distributed on a beach of Rio de Janeiro that changed color when receiving sunscreen Children (See here).

“The use of technology that changes the color of the doll when she receives the sunblocker and the fact that it is an educational and preventive campaign on the care of the sun, were the strongest points of the action. None of my agency and do not know what would happen, but I see potential for this action following and gain more results. “Says Anguita.

Joanna Monteiro, of FCB, the agency that created the action, said the action occurred during the week, because it is when there are more families on the beach. She said she could not tell if the initiative will have new phases.

“Lifepaints,” the Grey London to Volvo, is closer to “Nivea doll” because it is a product that improves people’s lives. In this case, it is a spray that improves the visibility of objects at night. The solution is geared towards cyclists who are more protected. The action was attended the start up Albedo100, which shows how much advertising can make when approaching technology companies.

Another case quoted the GP, “Proud Whopper” raised the flag of the LGBT movement, to propose the creation of a sandwich version “proud”. In fact, it was the good old Whopper, only different packaging, to show that, as the campaign slogan, “Inside, we are equal.” The package came to be marketed to $ 1000 on eBay, according to recently told Anselmo Ramos, David agency.
