To connect friends, Noble People created a digital tool that calculates the halfway point between friends living in different places all over the world and encourages them to meet up in real life. People also received $50 off their stay when they booked with PayPal. By the end of the promotion, 36,000 halfway points were found, leading to 64,000 nights booked on Airbnb. Those nights equated to 15,000 individual coupon redemptions; a 778% increase over the original goal of 2,000.

Don't underestimate a silly idea. Hard-cider brand Smith & Forge enlisted Thrillist to create videos to woo millennials. One ad they made went super viral. In it, a buff athlete, Kenneth Leverich, was heavily disguised so he appeared to look like an 84-year old man. Looking frail, he entered Muscle Beach. To the astonishment of the beefy types he made those weights look like they were made of balsa. More astonishing: In 24 hours, 27 million saw it on Facebook.

S4M made it pretty hard to tune out its client's message by targeting and retargeting Brazilian tourists traveling to Miami. Using mobile, the agency knew, would cut through the noise in the various airports. Brazilians were reached in the duty-free areas of departing airports. Then, they were engaged with an offer in Miami. GPS guided them to store locations. L'Oreal is already making plans to use this innovative method with other products in its portfolio. Happy clients!

How do you show off a fancy new TV platform without the platform -- or even a TV? That was the challenge facing SapientNitro in its effort to market Sky Q with a banner ad. To break through this barrier, the agency helped consumers experience the platform’s “Fluid Viewing” by letting them control the flow of color from one screen to another -- again, all within a single banner. This drove an overall engagement rate of 0.45% and over 40,000 clicks to Sky’s site.

Deadpool seemingly came out of nowhere—a low budget rated “R” Marvel superhero movie starring Ryan Reynolds as a sarcastic, unkillable assassin that broke a number of box office records. The marketing efforts behind the movie’s digital release helped to push it even further into the hearts of fans- including a Snapchat story, trolling other movies’ pages, and a fake erectile dysfunction-style commercial. Deadpool was Fox and Marvel’s most successful digital release ever.

Offering a 360-degree view of the LunarEpic’s -- which lets viewers orbit the shoe like a moon circles a planet -- completes the overall effect.

Sure, AvatarLabs had some killer media assets to promote Netflix’s dramatic series Narcos. But, credit goes to the agency for squeezing every kilo of value out of those assets. That included making each and every element of the ads flexible. Indeed, multiple elements could be swapped out depending on the marketing needs of each territory where the ads ran. As such, key coke-covered assets could be exchanged, while trailers could be swapped, and date messaging and character art could be adjusted.

Fans of Reese’s took to Twitter last year to express their disgust for the looks of the Reese’s Trees… which looked more like turds than a holiday symbol. To add a positive spin to a crappy scenario, Reese’s created #AllTreesAreBeautiful to stop the injustice of tree shaming. The hilarity worked, with haters becoming defenders of all tree shapes and sizes. #AllTreesAreBeautiful was a series of Twitter and Facebook posts that added pop culture references to the tree debacle. Think deflategate to #treegate.

Don't underestimate a silly idea. Hard-cider brand Smith & Forge enlisted Thrillist to create videos to woo millennials. One ad they made went super viral. In it, a buff athlete, Kenneth Leverich, was heavily disguised so he appeared to look like an 84-year old man. Looking frail, he entered Muscle Beach. To the astonishment of the beefy types he made those weights look like they were made of balsa. More astonishing: In 24 hours, 27 million saw it on Facebook.

Like Dove's "Real Beauty" campaign earlier, Revlon's "Love Test" tries this theory: What if women engaged in a daily ritual in front of a mirror that embraced their own self-worth and most importantly, included a smile? And what if that was supplemented with a little Love Kit--perfume, breath mints and makeup? Well, in this test, 97% of the women reported a huge improvement in their romantic life. Nearly eight million watched the sweet resulting film on Facebook. (Revlon will market the Love Kit.)

Sponsored content done well doesn't hurt at all. AOL partnered with bedding maker Sleep Number to produce a 10-episode series, "Next Level Living" that explores what science has learned about sleep and sleep-related issues (and one thing it hasn't really figured: Why do we need to do it?). Informative, scientific, fun and at points cleverly animated, the series garnered 11.4MM video views on and off platform, and 3.2 million on Facebook alone. Very, very watchable.

BB Dakota creates clothing for women since 2005. For its recent eCommerce makeover, it teamed up with BASIC in order to better tell their story through a new website that merges content and commerce. This is accomplished by delivering a rich, immersive experience through the fully responsive website with big imagery, high-quality branded videos, collection pages and an online journal. By articulating the brand’s personality and story, BASIC gives users deeper context to each products, driving them through the sales funnel in an exciting way.
