In this new commercial for the Royal Dutch Guide Dog Foundation, we see a variety of dogs wearing the most fancy and expensive fashion items. They parade along the street as if it’s a catwalk. However, one accessory is clearly out of place, both in style and in price.

A global music video takeover across all channels was the inspiration for the glorious design mayhem and vivid pop culture referencing within the new Charles Barkley music video I May Be Wrong (But I Doubt It). With a wink and a nod to user-generated content, Superfad crafted 40 different scenes to illustrate the Spike Lee directed footage of NBA legend Charles Barkley who makes the hip hop scene with his Cool & Dre remix track.

We created a multidimensional and interactive experience combining music and self expression in a unique way. We invited people to wash their Levi’s Square Cut jeans in sound in a special Sound Wash Machine in the Levi’s Soundwash Laundry using music the audience had mixed themselves from specially developed Soundwash laundry mixes. The idea extended across packaging, a Laundromat, online and mobile.

The Challenge: To launch the Nissan 370Z in the region, we needed to engage young Arabs while playing up the car’s speed and agility.
The Opportunity: Online gaming is ranked as one of the top 3 activities for young users across the region. So we harnessed this opportunity to reach our target.
The Idea: To drive home the car’s features and activate our audience we created a Z Pilots – a social media based racing game. Players could race the 370Z against their Facebook friends on a track inspired by one of the world’s most iconic circuits – the Yas Marina circuit. The prize? The fastest of them all would win a Nissan 370Z driving experience at the actual Yas Marina Circuit along with a weekend’s stay on Yas Island.
The Results: After just 4 weeks, over 41,570 players from across the region raced against each other. On average, players spent over 6 minutes on the race track. The 5 fastest laps won the Yas Marina racing experience with a real 370Z. And the fever raced across the internet, with more hits than ever expected. Z Pilots created a solid fanbase for the 370Z. The brand established street cred among the young Arab audience. And the game is still running far beyond anticipation, attracting over 61,000 players from the region to date.

The Challenge: Standard Chartered Bank wanted to promote their credit card benefits during the month of Ramadan.
The Opportunity: Rather than feeding people the same old clichés, we cut through the clutter of Ramadan advertising by tapping into the social aspect of the season. We chose to engage – not advertise.
The Idea: My Majlis is the world’s first game that brings the ‘Majlis’ or Ramadan tent experience to life. The game mirrors the real world ‘Majlis’ experience, bringing family and friends together virtually to relax and socialize. Fans create their own ‘Majlis’ or tent, purchase furniture, decorate and invite guests to visit, all using Standard Chartered credit cards. The most popular ‘Majlis’ rated by guests wins ‘Majlis’ experiences in real life.
The Results: In just 4 weeks, more than 15,277 fans played My Majlis, on average spending over 7 minutes per visit playing the game. The most popular ‘Majlis’ (with an impressive 2,006 guests) took home the big Eid getaway weekend prize! Not only did consumers share a social experience that was relevant to them, they also learned about the benefits of Standard Chartered cards through gameplay. In just a few weeks, Standard Chartered went from being just another bank to becoming the most socially engaged bank in the United Arab Emirates, with clear product benefits.
