The jury also appreciated the insight of the campaign and the fact that the active working youth, who are the target audience, has been involved in the communication process with mobile media. For example, they send their photos, share them, making the entire photo gallery.

AMF Pension Campaign began with the TV commercial that shows a young Swedish celebrities in old age, and urged people to send in their photographs, they were subjected to digital processing and showed how a person will look like in 70 years. In outdoor advertising faces on billboards changed since the young to the old, depending on the angle at which they were looking.

Media jury was quite stingy with gold awards in this year, but the salad billboard for McDonald they liked so much that they awarded him two golden lions of the five - for the best use of the outdoor and retail / e-commerce.

"Billboard was used simply unique, and the design was such that caused a huge public attention to themselves," says Dominic Proctor. "Despite the fact that it was only one billboard in the same city, in the salad sector experienced an incredible rise in sales».

According to the company, sales of McDonald's salads have grown by 30%, the total number of salads sold during the campaign has exceeded 500 000.

Mr. Proctor said that about half of the 2 000 applications were submitted by creative agencies, and not from the media. Media agency MindShare is a partner of the Grand Prix of the festival, but it was not stated in the creative GROUP, since the application came from the creative agency Forsman & Bodenfors in Gothenburg.

"We better get creative agencies with festivals," he says. But in the future he expects more media agencies among the participants, a joint application from the creative and media agencies.

Mr. Proctor added that the boundaries between what makes creative, media, digital and promotional agencies are erased, and it obviously will be the theme of the festival this year. Agencies often find it difficult, in which category to declare this or that campaign, and often they get prizes for the same job in different categories.
