Dear Friends,
Last month, at the conclusion of a productive and inspiring week spent chairing the 4Q15 Global Product
Committee meeting in Indonesia, I sat with a group of Burnetters from across the world as we watched a
captivating performance of traditional Balinese music and dance. Onstage a dynamic group of people was
working in perfect sync with each other, the dancers adorned with ornate jewelry and colorful costumes,
and accompanied by an ensemble of flawless musicians attuned and responsive to everything around them.
When you observe a group of people operating with immaculate precision to achieve a shared goal, you
can’t help but marvel at the orchestration of it. There’s magic on display when collaborations come together.
I feel that same sense of awe and admiration when I see an agency produce undeniably beautiful work.
When you look at some of the stunning HumanKind acts created by our company, what you’re seeing is the
fruit of constructive working relationships, and the sum total of blood sweat and tears culled from countless
different people playing a small part in much larger productions. No one succeeds alone in our business;
our greatest victories are collective efforts, and our strongest ideas often demand an ‘all-hands-on-deck’
approach. As we step forward into the bright light of a new year, it’s worth reflecting on the fact that we do
our best work when we’re marching to the same beat, and when we’re pulling together in the same direction.
I want this kind of cohesive teamwork to be a focus in 2016. When we push each other to excel, we all win.
A Letter from Mark

I want to thank our hosts from LB/Jakarta for insisting that the 4Q15 GPC
take place in Bali, a unique island with rich and vibrant traditions that
left a deep impression on all of us. Brian Capel and Anne Ridwan were
consummate hosts who organized an immersive experience for all of us,
ensuring that we were exposed to Bali’s inspiring cultural heritage. Over
the course of our week, we also had the opportunity to share the GPC
experience with a large number of observers from LB/Jakarta, who used
the meeting as a creative training program. There’s an enormous amount
to be learned for any creative professional who is immersed in hundreds
of campaigns from across the planet, and who is asked to evaluate the
merits and flaws of each idea and its execution. What makes the GPC
such a valuable tool for so many is the opportunity to listen to the probing
debates around the work, and to bask in the exchange of a range of
opinions and perspectives. This is what makes the GPC a game-changing
experience for many first-time delegates. We were delighted to open up the 4Q15 forum to so many people.
The backdrop helped, of course. Bali is a lush green volcanic island that’s been home to deeply creative
people for millennia. Some call it a magical place, and there’s clearly truth to that. The island feels flush with
energy, and the people who live there have cultivated a spiritual worldview that fuels their lifestyles and has
shaped their aesthetics. There’s an apocryphal story about the Balinese people in Marshall McLuhan’s classic
book “Understanding Media: the Extensions of Man.” Before making his now famous assertion that “the
medium is the message,” McLuhan noted that the Balinese infuse their everyday lives with a clear sense of
devotion, that manifests in an intense and unwavering zeal for craftsmanship; in Bali, the cultivation of beauty
is a way of life. This idea is expressed in the Balinese saying that McLuhan references: “we have no art; we
make everything as beautiful as we can.” This statement reflects the culture of people who for hundreds of
years dedicated the bulk of their creative endeavors to beautifying their temples as an ongoing devotional
practice. Today in Bali, everywhere you look there is immaculate beauty, deliberately laid out for maximum
impact. In recent years the island has become a haven for intrepid craftsman and traveling artisans from
across the planet, who appreciate the creative climate instilled by generations of locals who wholeheartedly
embrace the classic mantra repeated so often by today’s designers and art directors: God is in the details.

I encourage all of you to spend some time poring over the 4Q15 7+ collection. There’s some really fresh ideas
here, across a lot of different communication channels, and these ideas are inspiring examples of well-crafted
HumanKind acts that will resonate with people and have an impact on our brands and clients. Some of this
work builds on campaigns we saw earlier this year, which is what should happen when we’ve got solid strategic
platforms that have strong foundations and are rooted in real human insights and truths. I’m proud of this work
and of the teams that produced it, and this collection is a worthy conclusion to a very strong year for LB/WW.
The new calendar year gives us an opportunity to refuel and reboot. We performed well in 2015, earning awards
and praise all over the world for outstanding work we’ve produced for our clients. Even amidst uncertainty, and
a business environment that’s transforming at a rapid clip, we continue to deliver creative business solutions
that help brands and business grow to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow. Creativity will always be the
strongest asset we have, and I’m deeply proud of the way our global network continually demonstrates how
creativity has the power to transform human behavior. Over the next few weeks, I urge all of you to spend
some time with your families, to rekindle your inner fires, and to seek out and find fresh inspiration and new
insights that we can use to help propel us forward into 2016 with the wind at our backs. Congratulations on
everything we achieved together this year, and I look forward to seeing what comes out of the hopper next year.
Thank you all for your creativity, your passion, your drive, and for all your hard work. Merry Christmas, happy
holidays, and best wishes for a happy and successful 2016!
Kind regards,

“Ideas take shape in the brain of man alone. Ideas can come into being without a roof,
without lights, without heat, without food-without any condition for their production
except the presence of a human brain. Ideas alone enable man to survive and flourish.
Man, without ideas, would still be living in caves and tearing at raw meat.
Everything we call ‘wealth,’ everything we call ‘comfort,’ indeed everything we call
‘civilization,’ is the product of ideas.”

Atlantic Heaters - Thermor - Sauter The Cube
Leo Burnett / Paris
Category: Case Study
Earlier this year, LB/Paris’ stunning film “37 days” for the Atlantic Group earned 2 Gold Lions and 2
Bronze Lions at Cannes. The film chronicles the passage of 37 days inside a heated Cube placed high
in the mountains of British Colombia during the winter, where the Cube is the only sign of life amidst
a frigid and barren landscape. Inside the Cube, plant seeds encased in ice begin to melt when the
Cube’s heaters switch on, and over the course of a little more than 5 weeks, a lush green cornucopia
takes root and blooms within the Cube. The film concludes with the line “Heat Is Life,” after vividly
illustrating its point in an unforgettable and visceral way. The widespread success and popularity of
this film has completely changed the business of Atlantic Heaters, breathing new life into a staid and
invisible category. This case study documents how LB/Paris has built a larger campaign around their
film, with online components and direct mail pieces culled from the Cube’s bountiful visuals. This case
study documents the creation of one of the best ideas Leo Burnett Worldwide produced in 2015.
‘Heat is Life. Atlantic Group. Thermor. Sauter.’

Leo Burnett Melbourne - Anti-Bullying Initiative Reword
Leo Burnett / Melbourne
Category: Interactive
Online bullying is a rampant problem affecting youth in new and unforeseen ways. With the advent of the Internet and the omnipresent role that
mobile phones now play in the lives of young people, kids today are dealing with bullying in ways no generation before has ever experienced.
LB/Melbourne devised a simple and ingenious tool that helps to prevent cyberbullying. Given how incredibly easy it is for kids to write and
post hurtful comments online on platforms like Facebook and Twitter or with SMS messages, the agency worked with programmers to craft
an app called Reword. Parents install reword on their children’s digital devices, and the app functions as a sort of “bullying spell-check,” that
automatically detects hurtful comments and strikes a simple red line through them while asking the person typing to reconsider what they’ve
written before posting it. This simple act of striking a red line through hateful text has been proven to lower rates of cyberbullying, and the
agency believes it will help emphasize ethical behavior in children’s online interactions. The app is available for download from:

Chicago Ideas Week Put The Guns Down
Leo Burnett / Chicago
Category: Online Film
Gun violence in Chicago is at epidemic levels, with the city enduring a record-breaking number of shootings over the course of 2015. In
an attempt to counter this troubling trend, LB/Chicago enlisted some of the city’s leading hip hop artists to launch a campaign entitled
“Music vs. Gun Violence.” As part of an ongoing conversation and dialogue at Chicago Ideas Week, the agency helped produce an
interactive music video called “Put The Guns Down”, which invited anyone to add a verse to the music video, which was housed on a
website containing poignant testimonials from people whose lives have been affected by gun violence. Currently, this interactive music
video is over 1 hour long, as new lyricists continue to add fresh verses to a song whose message grows more urgent everyday. The
artists featured in the video include Grammy-winner Common, along with local Chicago icons like King Louie, Katie Got Bandz, Saba,
Nick Jr., Tree, Mic Terror, Lil Herb and Noname Gypsy. How Can You Support the Movement? You can add your own verse to the video
at MusicVsGunViolence.com, and join the discussion on social media using the hashtag #PutTheGunsDown.

Stabilo Boss Stabilo Note
Leo Burnett / Jakarta
Category: Interactive (Mobile App)
Stabilo highlighters have been used for decades to draw attention to
specific words and passages in printed text. Challenged to find a way
to make this highlighter brand relevant in today’s digital world, LB/
Jakarta launched Stabilo Note, an app that lets people scan, high-
light, and save passages of text on their devices, which can then be
converted into text files that can be edited and shared. The app also
encourages sales by keeping track of how much “ink” each user is
using, and asking them to purchase more ink to refuel their app after
hitting a certain threshold of usage. This simple and brilliant idea takes
a traditional reading tool into the 21st century.

Tourism Authority of Thailand Pray for Anna
Leo Burnett / Bangkok
Category: Online Film
A narrator describes the cautionary tale of Anna, an attractive young woman traveling
to Thailand who after a mere 24 hours in Bangkok now lies bedridden and seemingly in
a catatonic state. How did this happen to this seemingly healthy and vivacious visitor?
A stern-faced doctor explains the symptoms of Jawbone Syndrome, a paralyzing food
coma induced by Anna’s voracious appetite that is described by the Thai people who
witnessed it as “monstrous.” Footage shows Anna devouring an astonishing array of food
from street vendors, boats, restaurants, until finally her body simply cannot process any-
more. The doctor warns: “Tourists must be aware at all times, this is Thailand. Tasty foods
are everywhere.” This brilliantly counterintuitive film for the Tourism Authority of Thailand
went viral online immediately upon its release and captures the infinite array of delicious
foods available to anyone visiting the Kingdom of Thailand.

McDonald’s - All Day Breakfast We Hear You / Celebration
Leo Burnett / Chicago
Category: Film
On October 6th, 2015, McDonald’s rolled out its All-Day Breakfast menu in restaurants across the USA. The move to make some of
McDonald’s most popular breakfast items available all day comes after decades of people complaining, pleading, and lamenting about
the fact that McDonald’s has traditionally stopped serving breakfast after 10:30 am. To publicize this crowd-pleasing move, LB/Chicago
used actual tweets and social media posts from real people as the source material for a TV campaign celebrating the public’s new ability
to buy an Egg McMuffin at 5 pm in the afternoon. These tongue-in-cheek commercials and the success of the All Day Breakfast launch
helped McDonald’s shares reach a new all time record high in October 2015. Congratulations to LB/Chicago for helping usher in a new
chapter in McDonald’s storied history in the USA.

WWF (World Wildlife Foundation) Just
Leo Burnett / Sydney
Category: Design & Packaging
Leo Burnett Sydney worked with the World Wildlife Foundation to craft a brilliant, eye-catching campaign that encouraged people to
consider their dependence on toxic chemical cleaning products packaged in plastic bottles. To dramatize how easy it is to utilize natural
alternatives to chemicals, LB/Sydney launched the “Just” campaign, which centered an entire product line of organic cleaning items
(like lemons in lieu of dish soap). The agency then placed these items on supermarket shelves in eye-catching recycled packaging,
and promoted the idea through visually arresting outdoor executions and a series of online films featuring a quirky and entertaining
spokesman. By teaching people how to be more responsible caretakers of the planet through conscious shopping decisions, the WWF
initiated a nuanced national conversation about plastic, chemicals, and sustainable organic solutions that can replace our dependence
on synthetic products. This beautiful eye-catching design work earned an 8-ball from the 4Q15 GPC.

Comunidade Vida e Paz 365
Leo Burnett / Lisbon
Category: Promo & Activation (Experiential / Event)
During Vogue’s “Fashion Night Out” in Lisbon, a hugely popular outdoor event,
Leo Burnett launched a provocative and unique urban wear clothing line called
365. Unlike any other fashion brand in the world, the 365 clothing collection
was not created by designers, but curated by the agency, culled from clothing
worn by someone homeless and by people without a residence or shelter. In
the weeks leading up to the event, fashion celebrities and cultural influencers
helped build interest in the 365 line through their social media accounts, so
that the actual launch proved was well-attended and highly publicized. The
365 fashion line showcased clothes that told rich human stories; each garment
was labeled with a tag documenting how many days it was worn outdoors by a
homeless person. The event generated positive PR coverage in the news and
also collected a large amount of donations directed towards an organization
dedicated to helping the homeless in Portugal. This beautifully crafted and
strategically compelling campaign is a fantastic example of a HumanKind act
that forces people to rethink how they view and issue, while giving people an
opportunity to engage and help address an ongoing social problem.

This brilliant stunt documents the difference a clean white shirt can make in the lives
of ordinary people. This case film examines the everyday lives of two street vendors
and a motorcycle taxi driver in Vietnam, and documents their sales over the course of
two days. On the first day, these participants wear their normal clothes, and go about
their lives conducting their business. On the second day, each wears a clean white
shirt. The three participants see a marked increase in their sales and a definite change
in the attitudes of their customers, who are more positive and generous towards them.
This simple and beautifully captured stunt concludes with the line, “trust the power of
a white shirt.”

Karma Nirvana - Day Of Memory #RememberShafilea
Leo Burnett / London
Category: Promo & Activation
One of LB/Worldwide’s most highly awarded print ideas of 2015 was the stunning ad
LB/London crafted for Karma Nirvana in January. A blurry image of an unidentifiable
young girl was placed on the cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine in the UK, accompanied
with the following text, evoking the horrific honor killing of Shafilea Ahmed, who was
suffocated with a plastic bag by her parents for embracing western culture and bringing
‘shame’ upon her family: “Shafilea was suffocated by her parents in front of her siblings.”
This dramatic image was wrapped in the ubiquitous plastic cover commonly found on
women’s magazines, which forced readers to rip open the plastic to read the magazine,
driving home the horror of her murder. This brilliant, award-winning magazine cover
helped raise publicity around Karma Nirvana’s successful lobbying campaign to create
a national Day of Memory for “Britain’s Lost Women,” the victims and survivors of forced
marriage and honour-based abuse. The inaugural Day of Memory took place on the 14th
of July, Shafilea Ahmed’s birthday, and in the lead up to this day LB/London worked with
Karma Nirvana to launch a social media campaign that generated supportive messages
and engagement from across the planet. The agency used every tweet with the hashtag
#RememberShafilea as fuel to help create a 3-D printed image of Shafilea that would
ensure that her memory would endure, refuting the dark intent behind her murder to
erase her existence. On July 14th the final 3-D printed image was revealed to the public,
and the reveal generated widespread publicity for Karma Nirvana’s work and the Day
of Memory. Since this campaign began, the group’s impact has increased dramatically,
and given hope to many people at risk.

Ontario Women’s Directorate #WhoWillYouHelp
Leo Burnett / Toronto
Category: Integrated Campaign
The Ontario government hired Leo Burnett Toronto to craft a PSA with the intention of raising awareness and addressing the behavior
underlying the deeply troubling statistics that indicate that 1 in 3 Canadian women will experience sexual harassment or assault at some
point over the course of their lives. Rather than taking a traditional PSA route and trying to address the victims of this sexual assault,
or shaming the perpetrators, the agency focused on speaking to bystanders. The resulting PSA puts the viewer in the uncomfortable
position of watching a man at a bar slip something into a woman’s drink, and encourages you to take action if you see behavior like
this. The gut-wrenching film was a component of a larger activation campaign, which spread the idea and message in print and social
media across the world.

Procter & Gamble - Always Saudi Women’s Online March
Leo Burnett / Beirut
Category: Promo & Activation (Social Media)
In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where a strict religious government enforces an ultra-
orthodox version of Islam, women must adhere to a unique set of laws governing their
behavior and appearance. In this context, it is considered taboo for women to show their
faces on social media sites like Facebook or Instagram. Always wanted to rewrite these
rules. In a country where public demonstrations are illegal, Always orchestrated the first
“Saudi Women’s March”, an online campaign that let women participate by filming their
steps towards the kind of world they want to inhabit, and then posting the footage of their
feet marching on Always’ Facebook page. The campaign empowered Saudi women by
giving them a platform to express themselves, and used the hashtag #MoveForTomor-
row to encourage women to join the movement across multiple social media channels.
5000 Saudi women participated, and the campaign generated new followers for Always
on social media and a large number of media impressions in a country where traditional
channels are strictly regulated. Always also provided funding for three of the most inspiring
marchers to help them achieve their goals as they #MoveForTomorrow.

AIA BHD Health Report Card
Leo Burnett / Kuala Lumpur
Category: Online Film
This popular online film documents a thought-provoking stunt in
Malaysia, where children were given special exams that contained
questions regarding their parents’ health. Their parents were then
shown the dismal grades their kids received, without being told
the subject matter of the tests. Once the parents realized the low
scores on this report card were about the state of their own health,
they realized the need to change their behavior. After a series of
adorable confrontations between the parents and their concerned
children, the film concludes by noting that “we often do not notice
the state of our health, but our loved ones do. Send your loved
ones a health report card today.” This widely shared film helped
the AIA deliver a wake-up call to all Malaysians encouraging them
to take better care of their own health.

A young boy wakes in the morning flushed with excitement, eager to prepare for an imminent birthday celebration. Turning on his family’s
Samsung Smart TV, he finds a chef who walks him through the painstaking process of baking a birthday cake from scratch, and then
follows an interactive lesson that helps him design custom decorations for his party. When night rolls around the boy falls asleep after
an exhausting day of preparation, only to be woken by his mother at night when his absent father joins the family by Skype through the
Samsung Smart TV, and is delighted when his young son presents him with a birthday cake complete with candles and banners strung
throughout the house. The gorgeous film is an elegant showcase demonstrating the countless benefits of a Samsung Smart TV.

Over 100 million Indonesians own more than one digital device. Samsung wanted to help people keep track of all of their devices, as it is
incredibly common for people to accidentally misplace one of their phones. With this in mind, LB/Jakarta created the “Keeper Alert” app,
a personalized app that lets you sync your devices, so that if you happen to leave one behind somewhere, the other devices vibrate and
deliver an alert notifying you that you’ve forgotten something important.

Leo Burnett / Cairo
Category: Integrated / Branded Content
Egypt has been in deep political and social turmoil since the Arab Spring Revolution of
2011. Deep currents of mistrust have divided the country into competing camps, and
the ongoing upheaval has made it difficult for Egyptians to find common ground. In this
context, LB/Cairo launched a HumanKind act during the holy month of Ramadan which
was intended to bring the country together. On behalf of Mobinil, Egypt’s largest Telco
company, the agency launched an unbranded campaign called #AnonymousGiver, filling
Egypt’s streets with free items intended to be shared with people in need. Toys for chil-
dren appeared, along with free books on makeshift shelves for anyone in need, and food
appeared in public refrigerators for anyone to claim. The only markings on these items
was the hashtag “#AnonymousGiver,” and the public quickly adopted the campaign as
its own, resulting in a wave of generosity as people contributed all sorts of things to their
fellow citizens without asking for anything in return. Only after the campaign was widely
embraced by the public did the agency reveal the brand behind it, and by then the good-
will earned by Mobinil had made this one of the most beloved brand acts in Egypt. An
accompanying song that featured the musical talents of a wide range of Egyptian artists
from diverse genres perfectly captured the magic and universal appeal of #Anonymous-
Giver to the Egyptian public.

J&T Bank Play Dow Jones
Leo Burnett / Bratislava
Category: Interactive
J&T Bank wanted to encourage Slovaks to invest more
of their money. The bank understood that the public
needed more than just simple encouragement to begin
investing; they also needed a primer on the Dow Jones
Index, and an orientation that would make the com-
plex world of financial investing more accessible and
appealing to everyday people. Working with Leo Bur-
nett in Bratislava, the agency mapped historical Dow
Jones data points from 1895 to 2014 onto a timeline,
and then used these linear charts as the basis for craft-
ing an original music score that was created by a highly
respected composer. Thus, the fluctuations of the finan-
cial markets were transformed into music, which could
be experienced online by any visitor to playdowjones.
com. This astonishingly rich website is full of immersive
visuals and compelling music that tells the story of the
last 120 years, while tracking the impact of important
events on the rise and fall of the Dow Jones Index. This
gorgeous visualization of data was also projected onto
building facades in Bratislava’s central square using 3-D
mapping technology during a highly publicized event.
The sheer size and scale of this spectacle received
news coverage in Bratislava and the unique immersive
quality of the website has led it to win awards in local
and international shows. Rarely has investing been pre-
sented in such a visceral and vivid way, accompanied
with original music and potent imagery that captures the
experience of investing in a constantly changing market.
This brilliant campaign does a fantastic job of educating,
informing, and teaching people about investing through
captivating visuals and a unique attention-getting idea.

Bonds 100
Leo Burnett / Melbourne
Category: Film
Bonds is an iconic Australian clothing line famous
for its underwear and casual garments. As part of
the brand’s 100 year anniversary campaign, LB/
Melbourne shot a high energy TV spot filled with
an assortment of dancers getting down to a clas-
sic infectious INXS rock track. The total age of
each group of dancers onscreen adds up to the
number 100. For instance, a quartet of 25 year
olds in Bonds socks and briefs moonwalk across
a floor, followed by twenty 5-year olds in active
wear, and then a smiling 99 year old man paired
with a 1 year old toddler. Bonds = 100.
Easy Buy Boxing
Leo Burnett / Bangkok
Category: Film
This film tells a compelling story about the divergent
paths available to a young boy with a bloody lip; he can
take his anger out on the world at large, picking fights
with a series of increasingly sketchy characters until his
fate is sealed, or he can choose to channel his inner
drive into competition with real boxers and champions,
pushing himself to excel beyond expectations.
“Picking the right path is a choice only you can make.”
Easy Buy Financial Institution. We invest in you.

Amazon - Kindle Paperwhite We Are The Readers
Leo Burnett India / Bangalore
Category: Film
This evocative homage to the literary-minded Indian reading public doubles
as a vivid and effective product demonstration for Amazon’s Kindle e-reader.

NSPCC Astronaut - Alfie
Leo Burnett / London
Category: Film
This beautifully shot film juxtaposes a rich visual story of a joyful young child preparing for
a mission in space with a haunting boy’s voiceover describing how his new stepfather has
begun to beat both him and his mum. The contrast between the delight on the face of the
aspiring astronaut and the heavy burden carried by the young boy resolves the voiceover
notes that the NSPCC has helped his family to find a solution to their problem.”My name’s
Alfie, and I’m an astronaut.”
“When a child is free from abuse, they are free to dream again. We help to keep 1 million
children a year free from abuse and neglect. Your donation can take a child anywhere.”
NSPCC. Text Alfie to 70111 to donate 3 pounds. Every childhood is worth fighting for.”

United Healthcare Services Lab Partner
Leo Burnett / Chicago
Category: Film
A lush cover of Sam Cooke’s classic paean to schoolboy love
serves as the soundtrack to this beautifully filmed story of a
teenager’s crush on the girl of his dreams. He watches from
afar as the object of his affection goes about her day blissfully
unaware of his aching heart, until by chance one afternoon his
chemistry professor assigns his beloved Maria to be his lab
partner. As he approaches, he notices with shock that Maria
has a vicious case of pink eye, but after only the briefest of
pauses, he lowers his face to look through the microscope she
was just using. Because young love will not be hindered by
something as mundane as conjunctivitis.
“There are thousands of ways into the complex healthcare sys-
tem. Choosing United Healthcare can help make the system
simpler for your family, by talking to a registered nurse day or
night.”
Procter & Gamble - Downy Parfum Collection Romance
Leo Burnett / Bangkok
Category: Film
This quirky commercial from Thailand chronicles the evolution of a couple’s
relationship, from the first throes of doting young love to a less romantic later
chapter characterized by benign neglect and overfamiliarity. The only thing that
seems to elicit the old magic is the nostalgic scent of Downy on fabric, that
brings out feelings that have long since grown dormant.
Downy Romance.

Cotton Collection Shree
Leo Burnett / Colombo
Category: Design & Packaging (Corporate Identity)
Tasked with creating a new visual identity for Sri Lankan fashion
retailer the Cotton Collection, LB/Colombo created a gorgeous
new brand called Shree around a unique cultural insight; the Sin-
hala language native to Sri Lanka is constructed around a written
alphabet that contains no straight lines, as the letters were origi-
nally written on leaves. The agency used the beautiful curves of
the Sinhala characters as the design motifs central to the Shree
brand. Elegant and gorgeous Shree visuals were then used to
adorn clothing, purses, and other items, and the agency enabled
potential buyers to customize their purchases with letters from
the design palette they created. This gorgeous brand identity
sets the Cotton Collection’s products apart from competitors.

Calbee Opening Good Times
Leo Burnett China / Hong Kong
Category: Direct
Calbee has been the leading snack brand in Hong Kong for
two decades. Tasked with finding a way to celebrate and
grow the brand’s success, LB/Hong Kong created a unique
activation campaign called “20 Years of Opening Good Times
with Calbee” that leverages the joy people have always felt
opening a bag of Calbee snacks. The agency cooperated
with express delivery companies to create oversized pack-
aging bags for their shipments, so that when people finally
got their hands on that long-awaited package they’ve been
tracking, the delivery was wrapped to resemble a giant bag
of Calbee snacks. This stunt and the corresponding online
campaign components that document these deliveries per-
fectly captures the joy and anticipation people feel when they
crack open a bag of Calbee snacks. The campaign resulted
in a large amount of free PR and media coverage.

Leo Burnett Milan The Speech
Leo Burnett / Milan
Category: Film
This moving announcement makes great use of Leo Burnett’s famous “When to Take My Name Off the Door” speech. The film overlays
the audio of the iconic address over footage of workers removing the Leo Burnett logo from the agency’s office in Milan. Only at the
conclusion of the speech does a slate appear noting, “don’t worry Leo, we just moved.” This announcement of the opening of LB/Milan’s
new office space makes great use of one of Leo Burnett’s most memorable speeches, while highlighting the brand essence of our agency.

Don’t Let Go
Leo Burnett / Istanbul
Category: Print / Outdoor
‘Don’t Let Go. Both hands on the
steering wheel.’
This safety message from Fiat uses
a striking visual image to remind
people to stay focused on the road.
While you’re driving, you might think
you’re alone, but your loved ones
are with you in spirit, and they would
want you to refrain from answering
calls, texting, or putting on makeup.
We risk more than just ourselves
when we drive dangerously.
Posten - Bring The Loyalty Knot
Kitchen / Leo Burnett Oslo
Category: Design & Packaging (Logo)
The Loyalty Award is given annually to a Scandinavian brand
that has cultivated a deep relationship with its customers and
core audience through targeted marketing. Asked to design
a visual identity and logo for this award, Kitchen / LB Oslo
struck upon the idea to create a unique knot that symbolized
togetherness, loyalty, and the unbreakable bond shared be-
tween a brand and it’s most ardent advocates. The agency
collaborated with a master knot-maker to design the “loyalty
knot,” which was then used to craft the visual identity and logo
around this award. Beautifully executed and rich in symbolism,
the “loyalty award” knot is a case study in smart thinking and
exquisite craftsmanship.
