VOXI Mobile: How can we reach Gen Z in new ways to land our unlimited social media proposition? 🤔 Carat UK: Well they love eating fried chicken and watching their phones… what if we could get VOXI into iconic chicken shops…🍗 AMV BBDO: …and how about we hack the humble chicken box and turn it into a mobile phone stand, solving the greatest problem of fried chicken lovers everywhere: making sure the chicken stays in their mouth rather than gets on their phones 💡 A massive shoutout to all AMVers involved, our clients at VOXI/Vodafone Jordan Stone, Elliott Martin, Ejiro Edevbie, Jamie Richter, Scott Currie and Maria Koutsoudakis and partners at Carat UK for bringing this idea to life.

Less than 3% of UK Lions were awarded for the humour category at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity 2024, including our very own Sheba Gravy Race. In our CCOs Nicholas Hulley and Nadja Lossgott's view, winning in humour is hard, but they also believe humour must have helped other UK work win in different categories. They shared their thoughts on the topic with Charlotte Rawlings at Campaign UK. Check this out 👀 https://lnkd.in/eUPvNVwf Mars Petcare

We're proud to team up with Young V&A on their major creative installation Lost and Found Yōkai. Inspired by the museum’s current exhibition, Japan: Myths to Manga, our collaboration has brought together artists and designers from different disciplines to transform umbrellas previously forgotten on London’s transport networks into yōkai. Yōkai are a class of supernatural beings and entities that abound in Japanese folklore, literature, art and popular culture, in particular, the kasa-obake or umbrella monster. These playful spooks are a type of tsukumogami, everyday objects that receive a spirit and find new life as yōkai on their 100th birthday. Participating artists in this free installation include Andrew Kenny & John Booth, Anna Burns, Clara Chu, Nicole Chui, Damselfrau, Jessica Dance, Lilah Fowler, IKUKO Iwamoto, Rio Kobayashi, Lydia Kasumi Shirreff, among many others. These weird and wonderful Yōkai are also featured in an OOH campaign photographed by Emily Stein, re-visiting the same locations where they were forgotten. Both the Lost and Found Yōkai installation and the exhibition Japan: Myths to Manga will be open until September.
