SPOTIFY THAILAND

WHEN NO ONE GETS YOU, PLAYLISTS GET YOU 

There’s over a billion ‘user-generated’ playlists in Thailand. These playlists have become a powerful tool for GenZ’s to express themselves and connect with their friends.
We wanted to show how Spotify has revolutionised the way Thai Gen Z listen and engage with music and the platform.

HILTON ASIA

HUSTLE WITHOUT HASSLE 

For centuries, Indian hospitality was defined by heritage and privilege.Palaces. Opulence. Strictly for the select few. But a new India has risen. A generation of self-made hustlers is rewriting the rules. Ambition, not inheritance, is the new driver of success.

Hilton stood with the relentless. And to lead this movement, we needed a national symbol of getting things done. Enter Deepika Padukone. The ultimate hustler.

The story struck a nerve. Ambitious Indians finally saw themselves in hospitality. Sales skyrocketed. Searches and website traffic blew up. We broke every expectation - and a world record - with Deepika’s Hilton Reel becoming the most-watched Instagram Reel of all time. Of all time.

SAMARITANS OF SINGAPORE

TURNING LEAVING NOTES INTO LIVING NOTES 

Every day, someone in Singapore dies by suicide. Samaritans of Singapore, the nation’s only 24/7 suicide crisis service, needed more high-risk individuals to reach out before it was too late. But research suggests despair often blindsides people, making it impossible to see hope or reasons to go on.

We invited survivors to share their actual suicide letters and write a second letter listing the reasons that changed their minds and saved their lives. Fighting despair with real-life hope.

KEEP UP WITH THE CLICKS 

The world of e-commerce experienced a decade’s growth in just three months during the pandemic, as people became almost entirely dependent on online shopping.

The campaign 'Keep Up with the Clicks' is a flowing journey through the DHL universe, following the pressures e-tailers face as they try to keep up with the clicks to the joy at watching their business grow.

THE HIV+ ISSUE

Despite 30 years of campaigning, activism and research, HIV remains the 6th biggest cause of death in the world. But no one talks about it anymore, and there’s a growing stigma for those who carry the virus.

To raise awareness to the issue we transformed the Vangardist magazine into the cause of the stigma itself. We printed the special edition magazine with the blood from 3 HIV+ people.

IT’S NOT MADE FOR YOU

How do you launch adidas’s most elite boot, Nemeziz, to the Benelux market on a tight budget? In response to this challenge we targeted the biggest and best street footballers in Benelux, telling them that they weren’t worthy of Nemeziz, provoking them to prove us wrong. We used the idea of “It’s not made for you“ to play up to the one thing they care more about than money, their ego.
We reached 3.9 million people with zero influencer budged.

ADIDAS POD ORIGINALS SESSION 

The adidas P.O.D. System range combines 3 iconic technologies from the adidas archive. Following the campaign line ‘Great alone, better together’, we challenged three creators from London and three from Paris to work as collectives in an original film.

We followed their journey through Instagram episodes, teasing with authentic behind-the-scene footage to give our young sneaker-head audience a rare glimpse into the raw creative process.

The campaign drove over 12.000 direct clicks to purchase.

FEET ON FIRE 

The film aimed to reach sports enthusiasts who suffered from ‘athlete's foot’ to get to know the new product formula.
Filming with real fire on the feet was challenging and exciting. We wanted the visual effect to be the most realistic as possible to translate beautifully the burning feet symptom.

We had an amazing 190.000 views in only two days and viewed in its entirety by over 90%.
