Read Between the Lies
Big Tobacco spends an eye-popping amount of money on marketing to communities of color – perpetuating a racist cycle of disease and addiction. truth, by comparison, spends a fraction. We had to make a little truth go a long way to establish Big Tobacco as a clear and present danger. So we provided a platform for the Black community to confront Big Tobacco’s racism face-to-face. The result: young people saw Big Tobacco as racist, causing 61% of them to report they’d be less likely to smoke or vape.

2021 GLOBAL GRAND CONTENDER
As Far As We Go
With Islam seen by many as a divisive religion in the world, it’s a world of “us” vs. “them” even during Ramadan - a month of unity and togetherness, Muslims celebrate Ramadan. The world doesn’t. Even those celebrating don’t feel the same magic anymore. Almosafer, a travel platform from Saudi Arabia, reignited the lost magic of Ramadan in the region, by giving Ramadan a new face - that of a child. And through the child’s story, Almosafer took Ramadan's spirit to the world, encouraging inclusivity, openness and connecting through travel.

2020 GOLD
Live a Little Freer
Big usually wins. But AA Insurance (AAI) outgrew the titans of the category by going BIG on the only thing they could. Emotion. Rather than playing to the fear-mongering of the category, AAI promised to set people free from the insurance fear. The ‘Live a little freer’ platform reframed the role of insurance, the products and even the promotions. The more freedom they tasted, the more they came; leading to AAI becoming a stronger brand, a bigger business and breaking all sales records since its launch.
