In the 3rd quarter of 2009, Absolut Vodka wanted to launch their limited edition Rock Bottle as part of their IN AN ABSOLUT WORLD campaign idea.
Absolut got in touch with legendary photographer Danny Clinch, whose vision, "IN AN ABSOLUTE WORLD You're with the band", came to life in an upclose and personal documentation of the rock band Wolfmother. In order to make it an even more intense experience for our audience, we selected some of Danny's best pictures and created a gigantic (up to 240sqm) traveling photo exhibition that toured through cities like

Problem: Like the rest of the world economy, Metro Vancouver area’s real estate market was experiencing tough times due to the recession of 2008. Investors had disappeared from the market and buyers were cautious to purchase. Many real estate projects during this period began entering into a strategy of massive discounting and incentive offers to entice purchases. At this point, it was a game of who could give the best deal. Morgan Crossing, however, did not want to drop its prices but still position itself competitive in the market.
Solution: Morgan Crossing was positioned using its differentiating factor that no other real estate development could offer: an intimate village lifestyle. Morgan Crossing is the first lifestyle centre with residential and commercial units in
Function: The beige campaign was developed. The beige campaign is best exemplified by a married couple spray-painted completely in beige from head to hair to toe. They stand in-front of their suburban home with extremely bored expressions on their face. Headlines accompanying the hero shot read expressions of just how boring life in the suburbs is, such as, “There’s a ton of stuff to do, if you have a full tank of gas”.
The idea behind the campaign was to create a stark contrast between life in suburbia which was termed “Boringville” for the campaign and Morgan Crossing, a vibrant walk-able village community.
This concept was applied to online banners where the beige couple were shown and users were asked to help them escape “Boringville”. They then used their mouse cursor to paint over them revealing Morgan Crossing. A second online banner asked users to spot the difference between two suburban homes. Multiple tries will reveal that there is no difference between homes - the concept, life in suburbia is boring.
Classified Ads were also done in which people were selling things they no longer needed because they were leaving “Boringville”, such as the person who was selling her rare rock collection.
An art installation was also setup outside the Morgan Crossing sales centre consisting of a mini-van and mannequins painted beige. The art installation depicted 5 mannequins running away from their beige mini-van and scaling a large sign that read, "Morgan Crossing: Where to Live" - essentially they are trying to get into "Boringville".
An online video was also created and placed on the Morgan Crossing website contrasting "Boringville" and Morgan Crossing.

In order to show the benefits of the product in a creative manner, in order to attract attention on the special product placement in the supermarkets.

When the doors were closed you could not see anything, just a blurred image. When the doors opened two big squeegee “cleaned” the window, leaving a crystal clear view of the supermarket interior.

To encourage more people to adopt dogs from the SPCA, by making them realize that something was missing from their homes. That something was the faithful presence of a canine guardian. Signage’s resembling the ubiquitous “BEWARE OF DOG” warning plaques were placed at the gates of houses – with the copy warning viewers to “BEWARE OF BROOM”, “BEWARE OF ROLLING PIN” and “BEWARE OF SANDAL”.
This was based on the common act of threatening intruders with the nearest available object in the absence of a better form of defense. The payoff states that “Nothing protect your home like a dog” followed by a call-to-action to adopt one from the SPCA.
Within approximately a month of distribution, the SPCA shelter received a total of 625 calls – a 62% response rate. Out of the 626 enquiries, 255 respondents visited the shelter. During the campaign period 78 puppies and dogs were adopted compared to the average of 18: more than a 330% increase in adoption. The website received 1235 unique visits during the same period, with an overall increase above 100%.

To grab attention for the new Ambi Pur “Pink Flower” Room Spray and its amazingly fresh fragrance. An ad smells of nothing. So, they addressed the eyes rather than the nose and created the first ad that makes a scent visible- 'The supersize pop-up'.
These pop-ups were installed behind doors in (smelly) public spaces where they sprayed their new fragrance before. When someone opened and closed the door, flowery freshness instantly popped out. People were confronted with Ambi Pur directly at the POS (Point of Smelliness). Their pop-ups were set up on 6 smelly places in 4 different cities. The response has been extremely positive. Rarely before have people so openly talked about smelliness. For personal reasons, they avoid any statistical investigations on the toilets.

The authorities usually leave these cars there for a while, to dissuade people from rash driving. They decided to use this mnemonic to create a big bang, with a big banged up mobile phone that looks like a car as well. The mobile phone was placed to look like it had banged into the billboard that carried the message. And in parking lots it was placed next to abandoned vehicles, to create a very strong story. The campaign was the talk of the town as blogs and leading newspapers championed the cause. The government passed a law around the same time, making head sets mandatory while driving.
