  Adidas Originals Spring/Summer 2010 Campaign – The Street Where Originality Lives Adidas Originals had an ambitious challenge for Spring/Summer 2010: How to sell six collections that begin with Star Wars and end with the World Cup, all in one cohesive story line? They did it by taking it to the street corner, showcasing new faces and coming up with unexpected ways to celebrate originality. The result was an ambitious campaign shot over seven days with four crews and 25 celebrities: Each story was filmed simultaneously. The campaign launched in January with an intergalactic bang and for the next five months, they kept cranking up the volume, watching the boundaries of the Adidas Neighborhood grow through a one-of-a-kind multifaceted, multimedia, multi-platform campaign that moved from the street to a virtual playground. From digital applications to online films, Facebook events and live activations, Adidas and Sid Lee constantly devised new ways to celebrate originality and put the brand in the spotlight. It started with the introduction of Adidas Originals’ Star Wars Collection and a video featuring a nighttime street party replete with celebrities and X-Wings and TIE Fighters dominating the sky. In early June Adidas released “Cantina,” a two-minute video featuring David Beckham, Franz Beckenbauer, Snoop Dogg, Noel Gallagher, and Daft Punk gearing up to watch the World Cup. Instead of gathering at the usual sports bar, Adidas and Sid Lee imagined the celebs in the famous Mos Eisley Cantina from the classic movie Star Wars. The video seamlessly integrated new shots of Beckham, Snoop and the gang with footage of Han Solo and the shady cast of characters from the original movie. In an effort to create conversations about the products, the campaign integrated Facebook Connect, which allowed people to tap favourite items and discuss the collection. In addition, Adidas and Sid Lee worked to move the iconic sneakers into the world of interactive fun by designing augmented reality codes directly onto the products. When held in front of a webcam, the sneakers unlocked the Adidas Neighborhood, a 3D animated, interactive world offering games and rewards. The sneakers themselves became game controllers, allowing fans to maneuver and score points in unique ways. The cumulative effort by Adidas and Sid Lee demonstrates that the Adidas Originals Spring/Summer 2010 Campaign is where originality lives.

Microsoft Canada, Xbox – Halo 3 ODST Mini ARG
When Microsoft Canada wanted to generate buzz for the launch of the popular videogame franchise Halo, they started from a key insight about the gamer market of mostly men, 18 to 34: Gamers like to play games. They also want to solve puzzles and overcome obstacles. Microsoft and MacLaren McCann created a multidimensional scavenger hunt to invite Halo fans to an exclusive Toronto launch party. Players viewed viral videos, scoured for hidden clues, deciphered encrypted messages, and tracked GPS coordinates to earn access to the event.

Adidas Originals Spring/Summer 2010 Campaign
“If you felt a disturbance in the force this morning, it was probably millions of Star Wars fans crying out in joy over the launch of an official line of Adidas Originals’ Star Wars Collection.” That was how Marketing described the launch of Adidas’ spring and summer campaign in mid-January. The introduction of the Star Wars collection-with a video featuring a nighttime street party attended by celebrities as X-Wings and TIE Fighters flew through the sky–was just the first piece in a five-month, multifaceted, multimedia, multi-platform campaign that included six collections. From virtual playgrounds and digital applications to online films and Facebook events, Adidas and Sid Lee constantly devised new ways to celebrate originality.

Opinel – Cut
To prove that Opinel knives could cut almost anything, Montreal-based Bleublancrouge created a banner ad that let people do just that. Users could type a word into the text box then use the mouse to line up where they wanted to chop the word and release the Opinel knife to make the cut. Only some words, including ‘Opinel,’ could not be cut. Anyway you slice it the ad worked, with an interaction rate of 6.38%, about six times the average rate per unique visitor.

Canadian Stem Cell Foundation – Renew the World
Stem cell science offers huge potential for tackling illnesses, though many misunderstand the potential and the science was without an advocate. The Canadian Stem Cell Foundation was launched to communicate the science’s potential in an understandable way and attract the attention of the country’s leaders. Manifest Communications created a website that includes videos featuring many of the world’s leading stem cell scientists, and a Stem Cell Charter that, once signed, leads to an interactive “universe” where visitors can personalize a floating cell, explore other cells, and enlist friends through the “cell a friend” feature. With no online advertising budget, two weeks after launch more than 1,000 people had signed the charter and the effort generated wide media buzz, including coverage by CBC, CTV, Toronto Star and Canadian Press.

The fun and shareable site lets visitors remix an old song to accompany first-person driving footage. Changes to the music are also applied to the online scenery.

The race to achieve maximum viralocity included points for YouTube views, external embeds, unique referrers, shares, retweets, bookmarks, ratings, and more. Viralocity videos enjoyed more than 7 million total views, 729,199 total unique visitors to the website, 660,800 embeds, shares and bookmarks and, most importantly, sales were 24% above plan.

Microsoft Canada Inc., Xbox – Halo 3 ODST Mini ARG
To help launch the third installment in the hugely popular Halo gaming franchise, Microsoft decided to play a game. Working with agency MacLaren McCann, Microsoft Canada developed a seamless online/offline experience for fans that included a guerrilla style scavenger hunt with viral videos, hidden clues, encrypted messages, real world interactions and SMS communications. Gamers worked together to find clues and solve the puzzles. Winners got a VIP ticket to the launch party in Toronto to play the game before their friends and take home limited edition swag. The result was two weeks of around-the-clock engagement, hundreds of social media discussions, nearly 7,000 YouTube views, more than 1,700 Google Maps page views and a successful launch event where attendance exceeded goals by 173%. Master Chief would be proud.

ART V – ART Vscope
Each summer Montreal hosts some 20 music and arts festivals, many of which sell out months in advance. French-language cultural channel ARTV, which positions itself as “Bringing Culture Closer to People” decided to do something to help those culture fans who were missing out. Amuse and ARTV created the ARTVscope, a massive mobile x-ray telescope that was placed outside sold-out venues to give passersby a look at what was going on inside. A computer inside the ARTVscope and cameras inside the venue gave users the best seat in the house, showing them the stage and even allowing them to zoom in and out and change the camera angle–all for free. By June 2010, the ARTVscope had attended six arts and culture festivals, filmed 250 shows and given more than 30,000 people a unique interactive experience, all the while reminding them that ARTV is dedicated to “Bringing Culture Closer to People.”

A wide array of features enable clients to access in-store promotions, find the closest store based on their current location, research, find a product based on criteria defined in their search box, verify the availability of a specific product and much more.

Unilever, Axe – Showerpooling
When your target is more concerned about getting girls than saving the environment, Earth Day poses a unique challenge. Working with WWF-Canada, Unilever and Crispin Porter + Bogusky (then Zig) solved this by introducing Axe Showerpooling, a Facebookbased effort that suggested guys could save water by showering with girls. Banners, blogs and a YouTube video directed guys to Facebook where they could view a “Showerpooling 101” video, download a “Start A Showerpool” application for guys to invite girls into their showerpool and the “Showerpooling Introduction Service” application, which enabled two strangers to be introduced by a mutual friend–something Facebook hadn’t offered before. There were also “Tell the world you’re into Showerpooling” badges which could be used on their Facebook profile, further promoting the program to friends. Axe Facebook page views skyrocketed the program and generated more than 150,000 views on YouTube in just five days. And for the environment, a $50,000 donation to WWF in the first 10 days.
