Your Trust Matters
Agency: DMW Worldwide, LLC
Client: TruMark Financial Credit Union
These spots targeting middle-class households in metro Philadelphia confronted the issue of consumer distrust and disallusionment with the banking industry head on. After the banking crisis inflamed consumer anger, the ads immediately differentiated nonprofit TruMark Financial Credit Union from commercial banks by positioning it as a desirable consumer-friendly alternative where “Your Trust Matters.” Nearly 5,000 new accounts were opened in 90 days, more than double historical rates. Brand and eligibility awareness increased to 48.3% from 16.3% and 37.2%, respectively.

Dr. Obvious
Agency: OgilvyOne New York
Client: Medco Health Solutions
Part of an integrated campaign designed to drive registration for Medco Pharmacy’s prescription delivery service and build brand awareness, these spots introduced US viewers to “The Science of Obviology,” founded by Dr. Obvious, head of the Institute for the Incredibly Apparent. The doctor illustrated Medco advantages by presenting research findings, such as 100% of millions of people studied prefer saving money. “A self-deprecating sense of humor that derides the medium beautifully,” noted one judge.

Cardboard Cutouts
Agency: Draftfcb New Zealand
Client: Ministry of Social Development Family and Community Services (New Zealand)
The team was challenged to encourage New Zealanders to take action against family violence. Breaking from a traditional focus on victims, these ads told a perpetrator’s story. Cardboard cutouts represented family, friends and neighbors. The cutouts equated inaction with nonexistence, and “It’s ok to help” messaging helped drive viewers to areyouok.org.nz for advice and support. The site garnered nearly 1,000 daily visitors the first month.

Diarrhoea
Agency: Kitcatt Nohr Alexander Shaw
Client: WaterAid
Nonprofit WaterAid tested sanitation messages with this integrated “Dig toilets, not graves” campaign aimed at men and women ages 35 to 44, an audience younger than its typical supporter base. The “Diarrhoea” ad begins with UK children singing a “diarrhoea song” before cutting to a boy in Zambia, who finished the song by emphasizing that diarrhoea kills. Images of Zambians building a pit toilet follow.

Life is a Profit
Agency: Proximity Colombia
Client: Almacenes Exito

The ad ran on all networks during soap operas. Lavidaesunaganancia.com appeared as the sole visual content.
