TV Commercial (Over $5K)

Big M Winner: Cole & Weber United

TITLE: Conductor: For years, the Lottery advertising landscape has been lined with mansions, limos and hot rods. While those might be fine aspirations for some, to us—and many of our state’s Lottery players—they were feeling stale and uninspiring. Enter the Department Of Imagination. The DOI is about taking an individual’s real passion and encouraging him or her to imagine what that’d look like on an epically large scale if they were to win the Lottery. In this scenario, a man who loves model trains is allowed to imagine bigger when he wins the Lottery. The result is ridiculous, but perfect for him.

TITLE: Be Curious: The Seattle International Film Festival presents more than 400 films from around the globe. SIFF’s size can be daunting, so the trailer seeks to draw people in, encouraging them to dig deeper into the festival because there truly is something for everyone. This year’s trailer takes us through 39 years of SIFF history in a miniature film world painstakingly created from scratch with 3-D printers, then carved and painted by hand.

TITLE: Middies: Delta Dental was looking for an engaging way to engage their middle-aged target market. Their message was simple: taking care of your mouth is good for your overall health.

SRH350-CancerCareInWordsAddition-Erase-2a

TITLE: Erase Breast Cancer Campaign: October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and our client was looking to us to address it in a unique way. The campaign included newspaper, direct mail and online. In discussions with the client regarding other cancer campaign work, they liked language that included Beat Cancer. After several concepts, Lead Designer came upon a discovery: by removing the r and the s, breast now spelled “beat.” Born was the campaign “Erase Breast Cancer.” All print components illustrated a simple type and graphic treatment; online advertising played an animated erasing of the r and s.

Ketchikan_DoNotComeAd_AAM

TITLE: Do Not Come To Ketchikan: The city of Ketchikan, Alaska has a lot of things worth writing home about. Bountiful salmon, beautiful natural scenery and hey wait a minute – we should be trying to keep this place a secret. So that’s exactly what we did, kinda. We made print ads that explicitly said, “Do not come to Ketchikan.” We mentioned all of the truly wonderful things about the area that readers would probably hate, and suggested Cleveland as a potential replacement destination. It didn’t work though, because people seem to keep coming and telling their friends about it and our strategy totally backfired, kinda.

RealFoodies_AwardShow_4.9.141

TITLE: Real Foodies Eat In: For the second year of Darigold’s Farmalicious campaign, the agency evolved the OOH messaging and imagery from explaining what Farmalicious means to showing what Farmalicious is. We leveraged Darigold’s own gorgeous food photography to demonstrate the integral part that dairy products play in epicurean creations and the lives of those who make them. Pairing the appetite appeal of the photos with the signature playful tone of the brand allowed us to challenge consumers in downtown Seattle and Portland to one of Darigold’s beliefs that “Real Foodies Eat In.

TITLE: Mariners—True to the Blue (Ackley’s Fan Mail/Focused & Relaxed/Wise Ol’ Buffalo/Hottest Thing In Town): The Seattle Mariners have a long tradition of featuring their players in humorous commercials to humanize and personalize the brand.

Silver M Winner: Heckler Associates

TITLE: Ivar’s 75th Anniversary Surprise campaign: In the great birthday-at-sea tradition of mermaids jumping out of cakes (and with a nod to Ivar Haglund’s sense of humor), Ivar’s celebrates its 75th “Clamiversary” with the “Surprise!” campaign created by the agency. TV and radio spots headline the multimedia traditional and digital campaign. Each TV spot opens spoofing a stereotypical low-budget commercial, like the litigation-crazed law firm or the super casual mattress salesman. With a cry of “Surprise!” Ivar’s characters from the last 75 years “photo-bomb” from all corners, tearing down the spoof ad sets, startling the hosts and dancing amid music, balloons and confetti.

TITLE: TCC Reach Higher – Pandora Campaign: This Pandora audio campaign features three spots that illuminate the benefits of the ‘transfer culture’ being fostered at Tacoma Community College. We endeavor to make the prospect of less student loan debt and staying closer to mom and dad appealing to high school students. Difficult? Yes.

Silver M Winner: Casey Communications

TITLE: No-Piracy: All (3) spots have the end goal of reducing software piracy but directed to different targets. Confidential- Utilized the voice of an actual informant from Pennsylvania, targeted to IT contractors-employees. The goal was to let them know from one of their own, that if they reported software piracy, they would remain anonymous. (This is the #1 hesitation that will keep someone from reporting piracy.) Roulette: Targeted toward the business owner. If you or your employee steals software, it could cripple your business. Party’s Over: A holiday party is interrupted by the news that illegal software carries with it the danger of malware/worms, that could destroy a year end project whose success has great implications for the company’s survival. Message: Illegal software carries with it a tremendous risk that may bring your company down.

The Business Software Alliance (BSA) is a non-profit organization based in Washington D.C., with offices throughout the world. On behalf of software companies, BSA educates and enforces the law when it comes to the illegal downloading of software.

TITLE: Approved Auto Repair (AAR): We developed this new print campaign to increase awareness for AAA’s Approved Auto Repair Program. The playfully scary cartoon imagery ties in with the message that Auto Repair Doesn’t Have to be Scary, when you choose a AAA-approved repair shop.

TITLE: Microsoft Giving: Folks at Microsoft are a generous bunch. They give an astounding amount of time and money to help others through their annual Giving campaign. This year saw a heightened emphasis on younger and newer employees who may not be aware of the program. Our research showed that millennials are driven far more by the specific, tangible impact of their donations rather than just the act of giving itself. So we created a fun campaign featuring actual stories of employee giving represented in colorful, quirky, illustrative equations. With Microsoft’s matching program one cow really does turn into two, and demonstrates the potential to double the employee’s impact on the causes they care about.

Integrated Campaign

Big M Winner: Copacino+Fujikado

TITLE: Visit Seattle 2Days: Seattle is a great place to visit in the summer. But the city’s reputation for cool, rainy winters discouraged off-season tourism. Visit Seattle (the city’s convention and visitors’ bureau) wanted to boost leisure travel in the winter months. We responded with an integrated platform called 2 Days In Seattle. The campaign encourages upscale, sophisticated travelers to spend a weekend enjoying the indoor, urban delights of Seattle—food, wine, music, art and culture.

This multimedia campaign targets west coast cities within a 3-hour drive or flight from Seattle (Vancouver, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Phoenix). The campaign skillfully combines traditional, social, digital and mobile communications—all built around 2DaysInSeattle.com, an interactive hub for social media and travel planning. 2 Days In Seattle has helped the city achieve the second highest hotel occupancy rates on the west coast, while unleashing a torrent of social media activity.

The story: thanks to the generosity of a caring community, Seattle Children’s is now better able to care for sick and injured kids in a state-of-the-art medical facility.  This tone of gratitude and community partnership came through in all media: TV, Radio, Print,  Direct Mail, Outdoor—even posters in the new facility.

DarigoldButterMayor_AwardShow_4.9.141.pdf-1

TITLE: Butter Mayor: Last year, Darigold carved the Butter Dome – a humble, dairy inspired proposal for a new basketball arena made of butter. This year, things got even more political. World-renowned butter sculptor, Linda Christenson, carved 250 pounds of Darigold butter into Seattle’s Mayoral Candidates, Ed Murray and Mike McGinn. Then Facebook fans were asked to vote on the bust most deserving of “The Better Butter Mayor.” A few lucky voters were perked the mayoral treatment, with dinner at gourmet restaurant, Crush, and a night’s stay in the Presidential Suite of Hotel Monaco in downtown Seattle. On the eve of the actual mayoral vote, each bust dominated a microphone-filled podium amidst an election night party, where attendees could pose for a snap with their preferred dairy politician and eat politically neutral, but otherwise delicious, dairy delights. Interestingly, Ed Murray became the new Seattle mayor but Mike McGinn was elected the Butter Mayor. Do we smell a runoff?
