AWARD:
Judges' Choice & Gig Winner - The Big Ad Gig
BRIEF:
Increase purchases and donations, while communicating Goodwill's mission.
IDEA:
Debut a "new" provocative, cause-driven fashion brand.
Out-of-home and print ads will juxtapose high-fashion ads with the kind of clothing you can find at Goodwill.
Tapping into the ironic "thrift store fashion" trend, we'll let people’s natural curiosity guide them to discover what this weird "anti-fashion" brand is all about.
Through basic Adwords buying, we'll guide search results to the Güdwel microsite.
There people can learn about the brand’s mission, and how they can get involved.
We’ll extend the concept in-store and beyond, with branded shopping bags, donation bins and more.
We’ll elevate the campaign, and Goodwill’s involvement in local communities, with “Anti-Fashion Shows."
Run during Fashion Week in each city, they’ll highlight eccentric Goodwill outfits, and award local "Super Model Citizens": people who have made major accomplishments with the help of Goodwill.
The 3% Movement: #UnblockTheRatio
AWARD:
The Shit That Came So Close to Winning - Young Shits
BRIEF:
The involvement of female creatives makes the work better, period.
But with the number of women in creative departments being so low, pure probability is getting in the way of great ideas.
IDEA:
Gender inequality is acting as a real-life ad blocker.
We’ll partner with industry press to “adblock” female-led work, asking people to join the pledge to #UnblockTheRatio.
Making the pledge will give people access to the #UnblockTheRatio Talent Directory.
Think Working Not Working but for new, rising, and established female creatives. So agencies can put their money where their mouths are, and get to hiring.
