Finalist Apparel, Fashion

The Hoodie Remix design competition, made possible by Night Agency for Champion, spoke directly to hip, young consumers everywhere who love the idea of customizing and designing their own apparel. The sleek and simple interface allowed users to mix-and-match colors and patterns on a Champion hoodie, and was eye-catching enough to be featured in Nylon and Teen Vogue magazines. The average time spent on the site was 5 minutes and some consumers designed over 100 hoodies. The winner was voted on, and the winning design will be made available as a limited-edition product.

For the launch of its first-ever crossover vehicle, Volvo developed a campaign that included a complete homepage takeover of YouTube, and incorporated a live Twitter feed from the New York Auto Show. The YouTube takeover (a first for an automaker) also included the first expandable ad unit on YouTube's home page, linking consumers to videos, photos and a game that highlighted the car's unique City Safety feature. Other placements included lifestyle and news channels with banners that touted the City Safety feature, as well. In just three days, the campaign garnered 170 million impressions, 50,000 clicks, 17,000 hours of brand engagement and interaction rates 88% higher than the rest of the industry.

Finalist Business-to-Business

Sometimes the best way to be remembered is to cause an elaborate scene. That's exactly what Sani Professional (formally Nice-Pak Commercial) did during the National Restaurant's Tradeshow in Chicago. The characters, Eli Coli, Lizz Teria, Ryan O'Virus, Ann Fluenza and Sally Monella were costumed, disgruntled germs that walked the show with protest signs and handouts against Sani Professional's products, since they kill germs. The buzz was generated there, and continued through microsite, Germsunite.com, and the germs' personal profiles on sites like Facebook, and Twitter (where it's ranked in the top 10 percent).

Finalist Consumer Packaged Goods

Is there anything duller than lunch at your desk? ConAgra realized that most desk-bound workers want something to look at while they scarf down that PB&J. So, they gave them original online entertainment that tied to the company's Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers it wanted them to sub out for the PB&J. In partnership with MSN, it created live improv that played on typical office tasks. Viewers had "agenda items" acted out. Even better for brand awareness, they sent "care packages" to friends. More than 3.5 million visits later, Fresh Mixers has market share equal to half of the category leader: awareness reached 41% of the target group.

The end results were unprecedented: 394k hotline calls, fan-created videos on YouTube, a Facebook fan base that grew from 1,500 to 85,000, and 90% positive buzz online.

Does the word "recession" make anyone want to play blackjack? With bookings falling, Las Vegas had to boost tourism at a time when any discretionary spending - let alone in Sin City - seemed kind of ... immoral. So the campaign took the high road, and found the hardest-working little town in America: Cranfills Gap, Tex., pop 358, and sent them all to Vegas. "Vegas Bound" videos aired on YouTube generating 600,000 views, raising traffic by 6 percent in a month, and property referrals increased by 36 percent - all while making sure some deserving people got to pole dance, hot tub and gamble their hearts out.

Think Amazon.com's Kindle is devoid of advertising? Think again. Showtime was debuting a new series, Nurse Jackie, one week before HBO's season premiere of True Blood. Showtime advertised its premium cable series via Kindle by offering the pilot script of Nurse Jackie as a free download. The script included show scheduling, and users could watch the pilot episode on Amazon.con or Sho.com once the script was read. Two days after the launch, the Nurse Jackie script made its way into the top 20 Kindle downloads, and ratings for Nurse Jackie gave Showtime its highest ratings for an original series.

Dockers, “iPhone Shake”
http://www.medialets.com/campaignentry/
Finalist Mobile Marketing: Campaign

Dockers shook up mobile advertising and its staid image with the first "shakable ad" that used the iPhone's motion-sensitive technology to engage consumers in a novel way. The "Shakedown 2 Get Down," campaign featured urban street dancer Dufon Smith, a.k.a. Orbitron, wearing Dockers Vintage Workwear Khakis in the ad that appeared in iPhone apps including "iBasketball," "iGolf" and "iBowl." At various points, users had to shake the phone to get Dufon to do his thing. The campaign, targeting 30-something tech-savvy males, averaged 42 seconds of engagement per viewer, and one-third of those who saw the ad, shook it. (Possibly making the "shake" a new mobile metric.) It also led to a 300% gain in positive brand conversations about Dockers in social media as well as widespread media coverage.

Finalist Mobile Marketing: Creative, Single Execution

The killer app for your appetite, Pizza Hut's foray onto the iPhone allows the initiated to order pizza, pasta and wings right from the palm of their hand. While the app uses GPS to track which Pizza Hut is closest, the real fun is in putting together an order. Users pinch to select a size, drag-and-drop toppings, and if you add too much, the pizza blows up, sending toppings across the screen. A real taste explosion that led to over 150k downloads in the first 30 days.

Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, WALL-E
http://www.dead-line.com/awards/2009/omma/
Finalist Rich Media: Campaign

Leave it to Pixar and Walt Disney Studios to dream up (along with Deadline) an advertising campaign with plenty of character. In this case, that character is Wall-E, central star of a series of ads designed to tout the Pixar movie's move to Blu-ray and DVD. The campaign was comprised of several rich media components that culminated in a takeover of Amazon.com. Shoppers could play a widgetized game of three cups with the lovable robot or just sit back and watch an animation of Wall-E clumsily cracking the computer screen. It is an endearing animated treat that perfectly compliments the hit movie.

Intuit, TurboTax's "TurboTron" 
http://look.daileyads.com/omma_submissions/turbotron/
Finalist Rich Media: Single Execution

Capitalizing on the 2009 Super bowl weekend, the football-themed ad from Intuit starts off with a literal and metaphorical explosion as a TurboTax football helmet goes head to head with a tax helmet and wins. Then things get really crazy. The ad unit opens into a giant jumbotron, packed with testimonials, a video from YouTube star Tay Zonday, a panel for asking tax questions, an offer to win $25,000, and a clock counting down the number of days until taxes are due. Built specifically for the Yahoo! homepage, the "Turbotron" broke ground as one of their single-most interacted-with ad units.

Finalist Search Marketing: SEM Campaign

MediaCom Search gets the nod for moving Century 21's national television advertising budgets and resources to online marketing. Budget constraints limited search media to paid search on Google, Yahoo, MSN and AOL, so daily budgets were allocated to provide terms associated with loyalty. Terms and phrases found lower in the marketing funnel got higher daily budgets to support increasing lead volume that rose 40 percent, year-over-year, while the average monthly cost-per-lead declined 32 percent. The results tied into optimization improvements. Average monthly cost-per-click decreased year-over-year by 20 percent.

Finalist Social: Advertisement as App

To build a younger audience and drive traffic to TravelChannel.com, the cable network knew it had to do anything but use traditional marketing to reach its target demographic. The result was its travel-themed Kidnap! app for Facebook which challenges users to "kidnap" their friends to their favorite hideout city using a variety of methods. To escape and kidnap their own friends, players have to answer a travel trivia question. Kidnap! became the top-branded app on Facebook and to date has amassed 2 million users, two-thirds of which are aged 18 to 35. By incorporating TravelChannel.com into game play, the company also boosted brand exposure and site traffic.

Organic, Inc.
Bank of America, “America’s Cheer”
http://www.undergroundaward.com/omma_2009/americascheer/
Finalist Sponsorship

Bank of America, a sponsor of the US Olympics since 1992, turned to Organic to help build awareness about its sponsorship in an immensely creative way. They built the site, America's Cheer, which allowed fans to shower their support onto the Olympic team via videos, photos, and text messages on YouTube, Flickr, and Facebook. This interactive experience proved to be successful because one could watch all of the "cheers" of all varieties on the site. The results of this were 5,300 cheers and 18 million cheer views, all before the games started. Though media exposure from NBC's Today show could have a lot to do with that.

Mercedes-AMG, "The Ice Luge" 
http://www.mercedes-amg.com/webspecial/games/luge/
Finalist Use of Gaming

It's hard to stand out in the flood of mediocre advergames in the auto category, but piloting a 500 horsepower Mercedes down an ice-covered luge track successfully breaks through the clutter with its sheer inventiveness. The game play is simple enough for anyone to drop in and become a contender in seconds. More than just silly (but we applaud it for that, too), the dissonance of a car on ice actually piques curiosity in ways a straightforward racer does not. With hundreds of thousands of unique game plays to its credit, the Mercedes-AMG Ice Luge Holiday Challenge takes first in a crowded field.

Finalist Video: Standalone Video

For the launch of Microsoft's Windows Internet Explorer 8, Bradley and Montgomery created a series of Web-only videos featuring comedians and Web personalities like the Ninja from "Ask a Ninja" to describe the "History of the Internet." The series, which was actually created as an introduction for the official release of IE 8 at the Mix 09 conference in Las Vegas, quickly became a huge hit on Twitter, appearing at one point as one of the 10 most tweeted items of the day. From there, it received mentions on several major tech pubs, including CNET, ZDNet, Gizmodo and the LA Times. With no money spent on its introduction, the "History of the Internet" eventually garnered over a half a million views.

Finalist Video: Video Appearing in a Banner, Expandable Banner or Interstitial

Charged with creating banner units to hype the DVD release of The Mummy III, the box- office and critical bomb, Ignited decided to promote the one aspect of the movie that was positively received, the non-stop action. Their team edited together the most visually stunning action scenes the movie had to offer and created a roadblock that commanded the viewers' attention. The unit performed 17% better than the average roadblock, all the more impressive considering the movie's theatrical premiere garnered such a terrible reception.
