2013 ARF David Ogilvy Awards Winners
ARF congratulates the 2013 finalists of the David Ogilvy Awards sponsored by Microsoft Advertising, Ipsos, Ogilvy & Mather and Avión.
SPORTS, ENTERTAINMENT & MEDIA:
“P&G London 2012 Olympic Games ‘Thank You Mom’” Procter & Gamble
RESEARCH: Ipsos ASI, Nielsen
AGENCY: Wieden + Kennedy
MEDIA: Carat, Starcom MediaVest Group
The campaign was designed as a way to unite P&G and its brands as the Company activated behind its global Olympic sponsorship. P&G was launching its first ever global scale program behind the sponsorship – the biggest initiative in Company history. The campaign was designed to provide a heart-warming umbrella that would connect P&G, the individual brands in our Portfolio, and the Olympics movement together in the minds of consumers. The idea was to create a campaign that would resonate with the Company's core consumers on a highly emotional level by bringing a universal insight to life that was linked to P&G and Olympic values. The “Thank You Mom” campaign was created to speak to moms and anyone with a mom. It honored the role mothers play helping their kids to reach their full potential and showing how moms do the hardest job in the world, but also the best job. ‘The Corporate equity ‘Thank You Mom’ ads illustrating the role and viewpoint of moms brought this idea to life in a way that moved billions of people all over the world. The campaign did this in context of the Olympic games and a broader activation which included 32 brands in over 50 countries.
PACKAGED GOODS
“Slim Jim Man Medicine” Slim Jim, ConAgra Foods
RESEARCH: C&R Research, Think Conservatory, Communicus, IRI, The NPD Group
AGENCY/MEDIA: Venables, Bell & Partners
Slim Jim's big campaign (Man Medicine) idea introduced the world to the Slim Jim Center for Spice Loss, a medical-type organization whose trained professionals treated guys suffering from the ill effects of unmanly behavior. The Campaign can best be described through a medical solution lens: Disorder = Male Spice Loss. Cause = The new-found pressures of adult responsibility. Symptoms = Plummeting gaming aptitude and diminished zombie survival skills. Cure = Slim Jim products. Depending on the symptoms, patients were prescribed a number of Slim Jim products to restore manliness. It was an idea designed to both attract an older audience and still deliver the irreverent humor that teenage guys expect from Slim Jim.
FASHION & HOUSEHOLD ITEMS
“Stronger Stand Against Waste” Glad, The Clorox Company
RESEARCH: Kelton Research, Hall & Partners Research, Sands Research
AGENCY: DDB San Francisco, Clorox Digital Labs, Current, Effect Partners, Evolution Bureau
MEDIA: OMD
How do you drive brand engagement in a category that consumers don’t want to think about? The insight that consumers don’t think much about their trash bag, but certainly think about what goes into it and its impact on the environment, paved the way for Glad’s “Stronger Stand Against Waste” campaign. The campaign showcases Glad’s new stronger bag, remarkably made with less plastic, by visually bringing to life the collective magnitude of impact that just one person with the help of just one bag can make on the environment.
