Soap Creative's innovative 'Cars That Feel' campaign for Toyota wins Creative Showcase 9.1
Soap Creative's innovative campaign for Toyota, "Cars That Feel," has been named the winner of IAB Australia's Creative Showcase 9.1. M&C Saatchi was awarded second place for its hard-hitting "Every Six Seconds" campaign, with Digital Arts Network Sydney taking out third for the "NZ Dronies" campaign.The winning campaign, "Cars That Feel", was an interactive installation created with Toyota for the 2014 VIVID festival in Sydney. The installation transformed three ordinary Toyota Prius cars into sentient beings which respond emotionally to human interaction.
Three Prius', "Peter", "Vicky" and "Carly" came to life with individual
personalities, asking for hugs, tickles and generally interacting with
the audience. Taking the interaction even further, each car had its own
Twitter and Instagram accounts, allowing followers to have their selfies
critiqued, share a joke, or get tips for navigating the festival. The
campaign was technically complex, with Soap partnering with Noise
international for sound design and music, and One Green Bean developing
the social media avenues for the three newest members of the Prius
family.
Says Mike Zeederberg, managing director of Zuni and Creative Showcase's chair of judges: "The realm of digital creativity continues to expand, with this round's winners showing how brands and agencies are taking advantage of new technologies, new platforms and the Internet of Things to come up with excellent ideas for connecting brands to consumers. Getting people to hug a car as part of a marketing campaign is quite an achievement."
Second Place winner M&C
Saatchi's "Every Six Seconds" is a simple, effective and fact-based
message developed for the Quit anti-smoking campaign. Based on
information from a World Health Organisation fact sheet stating that
tobacco use kills one person every six seconds, M&C Saatchi produced
three simple six-second loops on Vine. Launched on "World No Tobacco
Day," the short videos have garnered 142,000 likes, 73,000 re-vines,
11,300 followers, and 19,000 Tweet mentions since 29 May, 2014. The
campaign exposed the Quit message to a massive new audience.
Coming
in third was "NZ Dronies," created by Digital Arts Network Sydney for Tourism
New Zealand. This ski season Digital Arts Network collaborated with the
slopes themselves to implement a drone video service to provide skiers
with the most epic selfie ever. The pics and videos taken by the
#NZDronie are distributed through social media platforms, Instagram,
Twitter and Facebook.
Says Matthew Delprado, judge from Lowe Profero: "Drones might be very hot right now, but this idea rooted in real behaviour. As a boarder myself, I totally want one."
