U.S. Army, "Army Strong"
BEST BRANDED CONTENT & SPONSORSHIP

 

Where would the U.S. Army's top brass, hungry for men between the ages of 18 and 24, go looking for them? The pesky demographic apparently stopped reliably watching TV ages ago. If you thought Major League Baseball games, you just hit a home run. That's where the army went, turning to Major League Baseball and AMNtv for in-stadium advertising solutions tailored to each team's venue. The full-season MLB campaign employed tactics across various media channels, including AMNtv's 10,000 screens located throughout MLB stadiums. The campaign enabled the U.S. Army to localize their messaging in each market to display recruitment information, local events and custom team-aligned sponsored segments, as well as "Top Prospects," a nationally executed program produced in-house by Access 360 Media.

Vh1 used Six Flags to promote the brand in an effort to reach the demographic the brand feels it shares with Six Flags.

Coors Light, "Snap Send Score"
BEST INTEGRATION WITH A MOBILE DEVICE

 

Kinetic's Coors Light "Snap Send Score" campaign seamlessly integrated the use of mobile devices and laser projection technology to elevate this month-long local OOH campaign during Super Bowl weekend. The digital Ad took over the wall of a prestigious downtown building and engaged passersby in a series of activities, such as wiping off the digital snow with a laser pointer to reveal the snap tag and taking and sending photos of the tag with their mobile devices to win Super Bowl-related prizes. The result scored high above the average awareness campaign, reaching over half of the target audience.

BEST INTEGRATION WITH EXPERIENTIAL/ACTIVITY

 

Polo Ralph Lauren created a one-of-a-kind experience for passersby outside the store's New York and London flagships. Using architectural mapping technology, the flagships disappeared and were transformed into 4-D lightshows for thousands of viewers. A virtual runway show appeared on the façade, and scents, music and other audio renderings were pumped out from the store. After the shows, videos of both were uploaded to the company's website where millions of viewers took part in the experience again.

BEST INTEGRATION WITH OTHER DIGITAL MEDIA INCLUDING SOCIAL

 

Italian baby line Chicco enlisted McCann Worldgroup to help them break into the American marketplace. The brand placed a ten-story digital billboard in Times Square featuring babies saying the brand name. Through social media networks like Twitter and Facebook, parents could upload videos of their babies saying the brand name. From there, the videos were screened and then streamed to the billboard. The seamless integration between social media and out-of-home placement resulted in thousands of happy moms, dads and kids.

BlackBerry, "BlackBerry Messenger Media Campaign in Zoom Media & Marketing's Social Network"
BEST INTEGRATION WITH TRADITIONAL MEDIA

 

Zoom Media & Marketing client Blackberry asked the agency to create a unique campaign that would promote BlackBerry Messenger. The campaign used digital signage geared towards both men and women that utilized and illustrated the features of BlackBerry Messenger. For the traditional component, the messenger service was advertised in bars - on tables, barstools, bathrooms and on the actual bars. The result: unaided ad recall approaching 60% in tested Zoom venues.

BEST USE OF INTERACTIVE TECHNOLOGY

 

Goodby, Silverstein & Partners took interactive DOOH one step forward, letting the audience not just interact with the installation itself, or simply share the experience with their friends, but interact with other participants at other bus stops in real time. Their Yahoo! Bus Stop Derby campaign transformed dreary or indifferent bus stops into social gaming arenas, where strangers would play with each other in different bus stops miles apart or cheer for their teammates. The campaign brought together real people in the real world, while actively reminding people about Yahoo's role in technology and social networking.

Georgia Pacific, "Spread Wellness"
BEST USE OF RELEVANT MESSAGE AND ENVIRONMENT

 

tktkt

To spread awareness against the spread of the flu, Georgia Pacific's "Spread Wellness" campaign tells an everyday story that affects our health but is often overlooked. Delivered through Captivate Network, the in-elevator video simulates a scene captured by a surveillance camera, which immediately attracts the elevator riders' curiosity, showing a man walking into the elevator and pressing the button using the kleenex he just sneezed in. This "elevator pitch" was concise, highly relevant to the environment and likely to resonate with the audience, perhaps already feeling the urge to wash their hands.

Avatar Digital Face Morphing Exhibit  by Inwindow Outdoor and Zenith Media  for  Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment

Inwindow Outdoor and Zenith Media
Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, "Avatar Digital Face Morphing Exhibit"
MOST INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY/PLATFORM

 

For the Avatar Na'vi campaign at The Grove in Los Angeles, Inwindow Outdoor and Zenith Optimedia created a face-morphing exhibit at a high-traffic location where visitors could see themselves instantly transformed into Na'vi, the blue-skinned species from the future made famous by the movie. Using Inwindow Outdoor's in-house facial recognition technology, the face-morphing experience actually retained the core features of the individual's face, so the ultimate result truly did appear to be a transformation. The display consisted of a 60-foot long, 10-foot tall structure featuring three "morphing stations," and one large-scale video wall surrounded by vinyl and branded with Avatar themes. As shoppers approached the screens, their images were captured and transformed in real time. Once the morph was complete, users were able to enter their email addresses via touch-screens and be sent a video of their transformation along with information on where to purchase the Blu-Ray Avatar disc. There was also a Bluetooth component that pinged mobile phones within the vicinity of the exhibit, inviting them to have their face morphed. On average, 1,000 people had their faces morphed daily, and crowds gathered to watch, waiting an average of twenty to thirty minutes for the opportunity to be morphed. That waiting time took place in full view of the Avatar-branded kiosk with movie imagery and promotional language designed to raise awareness of the Blu-ray launch.

Intel, "How Smart is Your TV?"
MOST INNOVATIVE USE OF A DIGITAL OUT-OF-HOME PLATFORM

To promote Intel's Internet-accessible smart TVs, Monster Media created a series of engaging "walls" and "portable storefronts" utilizing its custom-built, traveling trucks in high-traffic locations in seven major markets. The campaign fused the TV's high-tech features, including sound, gesture and multi-touch interaction, enabling the movements of a consumer passing by to trigger TV and Internet content logos on the screens. An on-screen call-to-action prompted consumers to participate directly in the immersive screen experience via touch interaction, enabling a user to control their own experience as they gathered falling content to build their own virtual smart TV. According to Monster Media's analytics, the system was activated more than 58,000 times over the course of the two-month, seven-market campaign.
