One of the Grand Prix in Cannes Lions, the most known advertising awards in the world is for Coca-Cola. But not with a campaign as such you’d expect from Coke. No 3 minute long commercial or Vintage print ad, but simplicity itself. This outdoor ad has been made by Jonathan Mak Long, a 20-year old student just started working for Ogilvy Shangai. The posters shows two hands ’sharing’ a coke.
Vimeo is a U.S.-based video-sharing website on which users can upload, share and view videos. It is most known as the main competitor of Youtube. Since the launch in 2004, Vimeo has now become the most qualitative video platform online.
In June (7-9), Vimeo is giving its Award Show for the best videos in categories like music videos, animation, action sports, motion graphics and many more. The most interesting category is evidentially advertising. The shortlist contains 12 brands with each their own short video.
Wow! Why didn’t we see this amazing campaign earlier? A huge installation was set up in Grand Central Station in New York in order to raise awareness for the political prisoners in Burma. Obviously an idea like this one was awarded at the 2011 Cannes Lions.
This commercial is for Sequoia, kind of a French Whole Foods. The video is about a snail who has serious issues.. The campaign won a Film Craft Bronze Lion at Cannes Lions.
During this years’ edition of Cannes Lions, one of the world’s most prestigious international annual advertising and communications awards, the organisation has launched a new category called Creative Effectiveness.

Only entries from last year could participate to this category. Complementing the existing categories judged at the festival – Cyber, Design, Direct, Film, Film Craft, Media, Outdoor, PR, Press, Promo & Activation, Radio and Titanium & Integrated – Creative Effectiveness entries rewarded for strategy (25%), idea (25%) and results (50%).

This cool billboard was made for Samsonite. The entire image is one big sculpture of devils and angels representing an airplane ride. Angels treat the people and devils handle the luggage and obviously a Samsonite suitcase survives hell. This one won a gold Lion at Cannes 2011. Be sure to click on the image to see the amazing details.
For today’s Cannes Lions post we selected the category Cyber. Three campaigns won a Grand Prix, all from American Advertisers. Also in Gold, Silver and Bronze you could say that the USA was the excellent pupil.

TED.com (Technology Entertainment and Design) is a global set of conferences formed to disseminate “ideas worth spreading.”. During TED2011, their yearly festival, TED has named the 10 winners in its inaugural “Ads Worth Spreading” contest. Creative Criminals has listed the winners of of this category, check them all, after the jump.
TED curator Chris Anderson says of the ads: “We’re seeking to reverse the trend of ads being aggressively forced on users. As well as avoiding the annoyance of interruption, this positioning means they can run longer than the TV-standard 30-seconds. And that’s the key. In 2-3 minutes, there’s more time to tell a story, share an idea, make an authentic human connection.”
