The Most Creative Campaigns, Brands
and Agencies in Tech

 
THE WARMER SIDE OF TECHNOLOGY WAS ON SHOW WITH INNOVATIONS THAT AIDED ACCESSIBILITY AND EVEN SAVED LIVES. PLUS, A JOYFUL FILM.

Rivals Microsoft and Apple duked it out at the top of the ranking with Microsoft grabbing the most awarded campaign for “Changing The Game”, by McCann New York, for the Xbox. The game changer? Making the device more accessible for kids with disabilities – and making a beautiful film about it.
Despite that, Apple was the most awarded brand in this sector because it had four ads in the top ten – starting at number two with “Bounce”, its jazzy, literally uplifting film. Apple’s success bounced TBWA\Media Arts Lab to the top of the most awarded agency list, too.
But this was not a game for just two players. Also in the top five were Tinder with the interactive adventure “Swipe Night” from 72andSunny, Samsung with “BACK2LIFE” from Cheil China – showing gamers a life-saving first aid technique – and finally Wavio’s “See Sound” device, from Area 23, which visually alerts the deaf to sounds in their homes. Further down the ranking, Amazon, Spotify and Facebook completed the list of tech superstars with multi-awarded campaigns.

História As the brand is committed to empowering everyone to achieve more, Microsoft designed the Xbox Adaptive Controller for gamers with limited mobility. With features like a row of 19 ports that connect to external switches, buttons, mounts, and joysticks, it is customizable to make gaming more accessible to all. The disabled community has a saying: “Nothing about us, without us.” So the agency collaborated with the community to create packaging as accessible as the product it holds.

História With over 43 billion matches to date, Tinder is the world’s most popular app for meeting new people. Swipe Night is an interactive miniseries that lives on Tinder and transforms the app by using Hollywood-standard entertainment as a way to match people, improve compatibility, and give the Tinder community plenty of icebreakers. It’s not just entertainment, It’s entertainment with purpose. The choices are the key: while fun on the surface, they reveal something deep about your personality, give you a pool of more compatible users to choose from, and serve as icebreakers after the experience. For example, will you save the frightened puppy or the injured girl? You only have seven seconds to decide.By bringing entertainment into the app to engineer compatibility, Swipe Night is a brand new way for people to match. It reimagines they way people can connect on a social media platform and uses entertainment to make that connection more meaningful.

Filosofia For Samsung’s 2019 Corporate Social Responsibility Project, Cheil launched a creative campaign to help young Chinese people acquire CPR skills: BACK2LIFE. In this campaign, Cheil cooperated with Blood River, which is one of China's most famous MOBA(Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) game platform, and hacked in this game to get gamers to learn life-saving CPR. In China, less than 1% know how to perform CPR*. The BACK2LIFE campaign, created jointly by Cheil PengTai and Cheil Worldwide Hong Kong, aimed to solve this problem. Even though it’s a matter of life-and-death, most people only realize the importance of CPR when they’re faced with death. On the other hand, China is the world's largest game market. Therefore, the virtual moment of death in the game can be the best time for young people to get CPR training. When gamers lost their lives in the game, they unexpectedly found out that CPR can revive their role. After several times of virtual deaths in the game, the game player repeatedly receives training for CPR. That means, the more they play, the more CPR training they get. During the two-week hijack in the Samsung Galaxy Store, over 3 million gamers performed CPR training to bring their characters back to life. This fun and easy way to learn CPR skills has effectively promoted the popularity of CPR in China.

Sector Empresarial Eletrodomésticos e áudio-visual
História Although Xbox is an established brand amongst the gaming community, there was still a need to expand brand affinity beyond its hard-core audience and attract a new, more mainstream audience who didn’t care about action and weapons, traditionally the focal point of videogame marketing.We created the first-ever new reason to purchase games. Not to play. To visit.Because games had become so beautiful and detailed, we promoted them as genuine travel destinations. In a ground-breaking partnership with one of the world’s leading travel publishers, we created ‘The Rough Guide to Xbox’ – the first travel guide for virtual worlds, enabling people to engage with games in a brand new way. The transformation was completed with a range of online and offline multi-channel activations that all made people perceive videogames as viable tourist destinations, and created added utility once the world could no longer travel.

Filosofia To promote the Samsung QLED TV, adam&eveDDB knew it had to stand out from the black-box category clutter. So it partnered with Netflix, Aviation Gin, and the undisputed king of social, Ryan Reynolds, to create a social film, specifically created for the meta world of the internet: the world’s first ad-within-an ad-within-an-ad. The social film dropped on Twitter and was promptly retweeted by Ryan, Netflix and Aviation Gin, promptly blowing up the internet at large, and resulting in category-leading sales in the run up to Black Friday.

História On March 25th Hollywood descended on the Steve Jobs Theater for the announcement of Apple’s much-anticipated streaming service Apple TV+. 24 hours before, thousands of people were trolling the events page on apple.com looking for anything left unguarded. So Apple hid a link. If found, it appeared as if Apple had mistakenly turned the event livestream on early and you had gained access to the cameras inside the theater. The 24-hour ‘livestream’ contained cryptic vignettes meant to tease the shows, partnerships and celebrities that would be announced or appear at the event the following day.
