Stepping up to the challenge, Ogilvy New York partnered with Shazam to create a seamless symphony of experiential creatives spanning every channel imaginable. With some virtual magic, the team turned TV, radio and out-of-home into an invitation to pour a Coke Zero directly into people’s phones, in real-time -- and, in the process, delivered the best sampling results in the history of the brand.

Using delightfully over-the-top videos, Schwarzkopf Professional made up for its small size with big laughs, positioning Canadian barber Matty Conrad as its grooming guru, equal parts James Bond and Ron Burgundy. Messaging about the “Barber In A Box” product was aimed at stylists and salon owners, but reached consumers, too, with each channel driving traffic back to a single landing page. QR codes kept engagement with stylists going, even after purchase.

The VIA “Crumpled Ball”, pays tribute to all the ideas that are left on the floor, the ones that fell short, but inspired us to go further. The agency captured artists discussing their creative process. Each answered a question: What did you have to give up in order to go forward? The answers were written down and then crumpled up (hence the program name). The content was illuminating and uncommon, a peak into the creative process.

Ogilvy New York used “drinkable” advertising and disruptive sampling to get more people to try Coke Zero. Billboards dispensed it during the NCAA Hoops Finals as well as drinkable tweet, a flyer as straw, a print ad as cup, mall posters, concert screens and in-stadium video boards that turned people’s phones into digital glasses and straws. Each medium rewarded people with a free Coke Zero redeemable at designated vending machines and participating retail stores nationwide.

UPS delivery problems during the December 2013 holiday season caused significant consumer dissatisfaction. UPS’s atonement required more than a clichéd apology.

During the holiday season, wishes were granted (i.e., delivering snow to children in South Texas). Wish by wish, the conversation went from overwhelmingly negative to 99% positive.

SapientNitro worked alongside Target and a local animation studio to design and develop a game experience set inside the Target Toy Factory. The game's features included 3D-animated rooms, avatar characters, wishlist creation and a letter to Santa. Parents were able to access their kids' wish lists and share them with others. The lists were also searchable in-store and on Target.com, enabling parents, friends and family to avoid giving duplicate gifts.

Stepping up to the challenge, Ogilvy New York partnered with Shazam to create a seamless symphony of experiential creatives spanning every channel imaginable.

Watching paint dry is short for dull. On behalf of paint brand Glidden, however, Racepoint Global managed to transform the task into an edgy and engaging mobile media event. How? The agency put the paint at the center of a live Periscope feed, and then invited people to tweet about it for a chance to win free cans of Glidden and cash prizes. Racepoint also targeted DIYers with promoted tweets, generating nearly 10 million impressions, and about 20,000 Periscopes “hearts.”

Cole Haan asked Giant Spoon to help reinvigorate the brand and connect with affluent women for its Fall 2014 season, building off its “History Begins Here” platform, which pays tribute to female innovators and entrepreneurs. The program would also highlight Cole Haan’s partnership with the New York City Ballet and its new line of ballet-inspired fashions. Giant Spoon tied it all together with “Grit & Grace,” a native ad execution featuring ten mini-documentaries created with the New York Times’ T Brand Studio, complemented by text, behind-the-scenes video, and dramatic photos. Distributed across NYT as well as Cole Haan’s own channels, the mini-docs gave viewers a window into the lives of three NYCB ballerinas, each revealing a compelling mix of determination and elegance. Traffic to Cole Haan’s website doubled during peak periods of activation, and users have spent approximately 30% more time on the site compared to other areas.

Hoping to combat the franchise fatigue that sets in after a movie or three, Lionsgate and AvatarLabs went big with its promotional approach to “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1.” They “took over” popular gaming site IGN.com, via a video of one character making a huge announcement about another. At its conclusion, the page was strikingly set aflame, in a manner consistent with the movie’s key art, revealing a semi-hidden button that led viewers to a series of character profiles.

Crucial Interactive created a choose your own adventure type campaign for Jaguar. Once users clicked on a Jaguar Alive 5 banner, actor and spokesman Nicholas Hoult escorted users through Jaguar’s secret underground lab, where a series of tests were performed, from crash-testing a car to seeing a Jaguar withstand extreme heat and extreme cold climates. Users selected the videos played and at the conclusion could schedule an in-person test drive at their local dealer.

Starcom MediaVest Group developed a programmatic search campaign for Samsung where potential customers were targeted using keywords. It required lots of data -- site, offline, first and third party, and look-alike models -- combining BlueKai Search DMP with what the agency calls the "first-ever programmatic search deal" using Google's Remarketing List for Search Ads. After three months, click through rates more than doubled with a 105% lift relative to non-programmatic search buying. Non-branded impressions per market share also rose 20%.

The Salvation Army campaign this year got a makeover, driving an increase in click-through rates and reduction in cost per clicks. Restructuring ad groups, creating a lengthy list of keywords generated more traffic to the Web site and donations by creating niche audience segments, from brand specific to generic charity related. Through continual A/B testing, the campaign drove up conversion rates, donation revenue, and return on ad spend. Paid search exceeded its donation revenue goal by more than 100%, raising more than $2 million. The return on ad spend rose more than 35% to $8.3 compared with the previous year.

In a bid to draw consumers to its new mobile ordering app, Taco Bell decided that plugging away on all of its social channels wouldn’t get the job done. So instead, the company decided to do the exact opposite — it “blacked out” all of its social channels for a short period of time to generate buzz. Taco Bell’s unique decision to use social by visibly not using social led to 2.6 million people to download the app.

Sometimes the best way to go big is to go small -- especially when you don’t have much cash. That was certainly the case with Havas Worldwide Chicago and Hefty, who had to raise brand awareness on a budget that was -- by their own estimate -- about 400 times smaller than the leading competitor. The resulting “Be Sure it's Secure” campaign showed off the strength of Hefty bags with a series of scaled-down scenarios replete with miniature props and nifty stop-motion photography -- perfect for the small screens that most people use to peruse Facebook.

Women may use Pinterest predominantly, but men might need some DIY ideas occasionally. TDA_Boulder created a campaign for FirstBank mortgages to get men excited about buying and subsequently decorating their first home. The agency created MAN-O-FLAGE, a male-friendly browser skin that’s downoadable via Firefox and allows men to browse Pinterest completely without anyone noticing. Men can see select "Meats," "Power Tools" or "Sporting" skins, which allow just one Pinterest image at a time. Other photos are replaced by pictures of raw beef, drill bits, or a fly tackle box.

As the brand who pioneered the message of real beauty radiates from within and comes in different shapes and sizes, Dove continues its effort in promoting women’s confidence by launching the #SpeakBeautiful movement on Twitter during the Oscars.

No stranger to negativity, McDonald’s wanted to address the surplus of bad vibes swirling around social media -- and raise some positive awareness for itself in the process. With OMD’s help, the burger brand focused its “Lovin’” on other brands advertising during this year’s Super Bowl. McDonald’s incentivized Twitter users to play nice by giving away the same products that other brands were promoting during the big game. As a result, McDonald’s was the most talked about brand on Super Bowl Sunday, and achieved the top share of voice of brand conversations on Twitter.

Know your bug -- and then perhaps get rid of it. Orkin touts fun, video stories: A spider weaving a web with an off-beat acoustic guitar soundtrack, and the message: “Make Your Work Art.” Another has a green worm noshing on a flower: “Every Now and Then Stop and Eat The Roses”. Metrics were definitely not buggy: Videos earned 104,000 views, bloggers garnered 131 partnerships and 10.7 million impressions.

Essense Designs' blog "Pretty Happy Love" promotes the company’s wedding dresses directly through fashion trend stories (like one on the brand’s sequined bridesmaid dresses) and profiles of dress retailers, and more subtly by positioning it as a brand that can provide “inspiration” and tips for the happy day. In an effort to humanize its product, the blog also features stories from real brides who wore the brand and a fun "What is your bridal style?" quiz.

The challenge of creating a new Chicago Community Trust site was that the regional organization does so much. Atlantic Media Strategies had to explain it all and bring together component parts previously scattered around various separate sites.
