The Most Creative Campaigns, Brands
and Agencies in Entertainment & Leisure

 
THIS NEW BCR CATEGORY FEATURES THE BRANDS AND EVENTS THAT LIVEN UP OUR DOWN TIME.

As you might expect, the leading campaigns in this sector were hugely entertaining – starting with a powerful message of support for Paralympic athletes. Amazon takes second and third place the list with work from different agencies – CYW in Madrid and Ogilvy in Italy. One of these is a film that could hardly be more classic, while the other is an innovative outdoor event. Part of its emotional impact comes from the crowd scenes: the event must have felt cathartic after the pandemic. Contrasting pieces complete the top five – lively storytelling that transports us to Ghana, and a social campaign that takes us somewhere far more dangerous.

Story How to launch the film about one of the greatest Italian singers in the world? With the voice of 2000 fans and 500 drones synced with the original soundtrack from the film.To do so, we created “Staraoke”, an unprecedented karaoke in the sky of Rome. The lyrics were synced to the music and reached 130mt width and 60mt height, making the sky the biggest karaoke screen ever.
Philosophie To launch “Laura Pausini - Pleased to meet you” out on Prime Video since Aprile 7, the singer's fans were the real protagonist of the show, singing the lyrics from the song “La Scatola”, original soundtrack of the film. 
Problem To organize the show, 500 drones were synced with the music of the song, ,creating 130mt large and 60mt tall lyrics. The drones flew over the Archeological Park of Colosseum reaching 100 mt height, to make the show visible from around 1 km. The experience that combined the latest trend technology with a unique cultural environment was created after more than 3 weeks of programming by Roman innovation agency agency T3kne, in collaboration with Artech and Dronisos, a French agency specialized in automatic drones technology.
Ergebnis 2000 people joined the show to sing together in an unprecedented singalong, with Laura Pausini herself joining the crowd to take part in the experience.

TitelPortuguese (Re)constitution
BriefPenguin Random House wanted a project capable of showing its knowledge and love for the Portuguese culture. Capable of generating engagement with Portuguese readers and awareness through earned media.Instead of making an advertising campaign, we decided to launch a book that addresses the most crucial moment in the country’s democracy.On the Carnation Revolution’s anniversary, Penguin Books offered blue pencils to contemporary artists. Inspired by the blackout poetry technique, they could re-invent the fascist constitution with poems using words selected from the historical document and illustrations covering the remaining ones. A symbol of repression turned into an art manifesto celebrating freedom.

Story The book 'The Portuguese (Re)Constitution' is a reformulation of the Portuguese Constitution of 1933, released on April the 25th 2022, on Portugal's "National Freedom Day'. 'The Portuguese (Re)Constitution' uses the 'blackout poetry' technique. Several poets and illustrators passed the blue pencil over this constitution until some words were highlighted, celebrating the freedom of expression. It is now part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Aljube, for Resistance and Freedom, in Lisbon. Named 'ReConstituição Portuguesa' in Portuguese, this unprecedented book is described by its editor (Companhia das Letras, part of Penguin Random House Portugal) as “A manifesto that transforms a symbol of fascism – the blue pencil – into poetic cries of freedom." In the video, we are invited to go back in time, more specifically to the period between 1933 and 1974, decades in which Portugal lived under a dictatorial regime. Using the technique of blackout poetry, the design project applied the famous blue pencil (symbol of fascism) to words from the 1933 Constitution, giving rise to poems and illustrations that extol the values ​​of April. This work had the participation of several Portuguese authors and artists, including: Filipe Homem Fonseca, Gilson Barreto (Dela Mantra), Gisela Casimiro, DJ Huba, João Silveira, Jorgette Dumby , José Anjos, Li Alves, Lila Tiago, Lucerna do Moco, Luís Perdigão, Maria Giulia Pinheiro, Marina Ferraz, Miguel Antunes, Nilson Muniz, Nuno Piteira, Paola D’Agostino, Rita Capucho, Rita Taborda Duarte, Sérgio Coutinho.
Ergebnis - The book grabbed the media's attention, being showcased on prime TV, the country's biggest radio stations, newspapers, and podcasts. With zero euros invested, the Portuguese (Re)Constitution gave 1 million in earned media to the Penguin Random House brand.
- It is now part of the permanent collection of the Aljube Museum, which is based in a former political prison.
- The book was incorporated into the National Reading Plan of the Portuguese Government, being used at Portuguese schools to teach students the history of the revolution through art.
- It was adopted as a mandatory reading bibliography in the second year of the degree in Portuguese Studies at the Dalarna University .
- The first edition sold out within the first few months of release. The second arrived in bookstores in early December.

Philosophie The movement, #WeThe15, takes its name from the 15% of the global population who have a disability: the world’s largest marginalised group forgotten by the inclusivity agenda. For these 1.2 billion people, access to basic human rights such as healthcare, education and employment, are at best limited and at worst non-existent, making it harder for people with disabilities to live, work, thrive, or even survive.

Story While Tinder had been a household name for years, its cultural clout was starting to be poached by rising competitors like Bumble and Hinge. Tinder needed a (positive) cultural splash to establish its spot as the premier dating app.At the same time, Tinder was facing user fatigue, particularly among Gen Z. Users were browsing through profiles mindlessly, just to pass the time and had no real intention of connecting with other people.Thus, our objectives were as follows:1) Create cultural momentum for the brandSpark excitement: measured by total earned media impressionsIncrease social conversation: measured by related social activity on TwitterEnhance brand sentiment: measured by Tinder’s brand sentiment on Twitter2) Generate meaningful activity inside the appDrive engagement: measured by total views of our original contentCompel users to connect more: increase the number of likes and matchesInspire users to chat more: increase the number of messages

TitelTherapeutic Play
BriefThe charity Gamers Outreach partnered with Xbox to create ‘Therapeutic Play’, a reinvention of gaming as a tool to help aid recovery for children in hospitals. It was all made possible by an innovation – part console, part hospital equipment – that made gaming in the medical environment a reality, and one that was impossible for regular consoles to achieve due to cost and hygiene. The kart, powered by Xbox, was specially designed for the hospital setting, with medical-grade materials for sanitation, ergonomic trays for hospital devices, swivel wheels to transport around the wards and a shape that would work with other hospital furniture. Suddenly, gaming became not just a bit of fun, but part of the recovery process, aiding children’s mental health through connecting with others in similar situations, and playing a part in their physical recovery by keeping them engrossed as medical staff treated them.

Story Gaming gives everyone a way to escape, but some people have more to escape than others. Children who spend long periods in hospital can feel not just isolated, but their conditions can actively worsen due to the trauma and anxiety that the hospital environment can cause. The objective was to help these children thrive in the toughest of circumstances.
