Pencil Shavings: 3Q12 GPC, Chicago

A Q U A R T E R LY N E W S L E T T E R F O R T H E G L O B A L P R O D U C T C O M M I T T E E GPC 3Q 12A Letter from MarkDear Friends,A new season is upon us. Summer has come and gone, and after a strong showing at 2012’s prestigious creativeaward shows, it’s time once again to take stock of our journey and plot out the path ahead. In late August I hadthe pleasure of chairing the 3Q12 Global Product Committee meeting, hosted at our headquarters in Leo BurnettChicago for the first time in four years, and I’m delighted to share with you the results from that meeting. The GPCis more than just a conference where we evaluate work; it’s also an opportunity for us to spotlight and learn fromsome of the outstanding people who make up the Leo Burnett global network, an 8500-strong family of writers,artists, and thinkers who collectively constitute one of the planet’s most formidable communications companies.Each time the GPC convenes, we sit around a table and trade stories, perspectives, knowledge, drinks, andlaughter, all while recommitting ourselves to our shared mission, the lofty goals set down by our founder so manyyears ago. It was at the last GPC held in Chicago, during a bitterly frigid winter week in February of 2008, that theWorldwide Creative Board hashed out the first draft of the HumanKind GPC scale. At the time HumanKind wasstill a work-in-progress that needed some clarity to bring it into sharp focus. That is what the GPC does: it existsnot just to dispense scores and constructive critiques of our creative product, but also to serve as a global braintrust, and a forum where our company can refine ideas and distill our thinking into a clear concise purpose. TheHumanKind GPC is a living testament to the way Leo Burnett puts people at the heart of everything it does. I amproud to be a part of a company that encourages authentic dialogue across borders, as it helps people to learnfrom and collaborate with their peers across the world. Every three months we gather together some of the bestand brightest talents in our global agency, and set ourselves to the difficult task of making the work better, pieceby piece, through intense discussion and debate. Nothing is more important than the quality of our work, and thisprocess we’ve spent so long developing ensures that we’re all looking through the same lens. It was a joy to bringthe GPC back to Chicago, where it was first born decades ago. This return to our roots was a long time coming. 1

A Q U A R T E R LY N E W S L E T T E R F O R T H E G L O B A L P R O D U C T C O M M I T T E E GPC 3Q 12City of Big ShouldersIn the ten years that I’ve been working at Leo Burnett Chicago, I’ve never been more excited about the directionand leadership of our flagship agency. When I first arrived here in 2002, after 15 years at Leo Burnett London,there was a pervasive feeling of uncertainty in the air that colored every day at 35 West Wacker Drive. There wasturnover at senior management positions, fallout from a bad economy, and the agency was struggling to shakeoff a reputation of being an old-fashioned TV and print agency in an age of smaller and hotter shops. The teamsin Chicago were still producing outstanding work, but underlying all their achievements was a persistent currentof frustration, and disquiet with the status quo. The old ways of working had to change. In the decade since thatrough stretch of time in 2002, the agency has undergone a sweeping transformation, evolving in multipledirections to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing industry. Under the steady leadership of President RichStoddart, and with Chief Creative Officer Susan Credle at the helm of a revamped creative department, the agencyhas gotten leaner and more focused, and is currently experiencing a rebirth. The agency is on an impressive streakof new business wins, and there’s a tangible sense of confidence and excitement in the air. The work emergingfrom our largest office is winning over people all across the world, and as new revenues pour in, there’s a sensethat the ship has been righted and is headed in the right direction. As ECD Ryan Wagman noted during the GPCdiscussions, “this place feels like it’s humming right along.” When Leo Burnett Chicago is firing on all cylinders, ourwhole global network shines a lot brighter. I’m deeply proud of the team in Chicago, and I hope you take the timeto pore over some of the brilliant work they’ve been producing quarter after quarter, year after year. It’s not easy toget an agency of 1500 people to buy into the same vision, and to march in lock step towards it, but clearly, Richand Susan have built a winner. Together they’ve set a goal for the office to be the number one creative agency inthe USA in the next two years. You have to admire the drive and ambition of a team that’s aiming for the top. 2

A Q U A R T E R LY N E W S L E T T E R F O R T H E G L O B A L P R O D U C T C O M M I T T E E GPC 3Q 12Leo Burnett at Cannes 2012Before diving into this quarter’s large volume of inspiring 7+ work, I want you to take a look at the charts on thefollowing pages, which break down our network’s performance at the 2012 Cannes Lions International Festivalof Creativity. I talk about Cannes a lot, and even though we are three months removed from the festival, I want toreiterate why Cannes is so critical to our outlook as a company. We do not strive for Lions simply for recognition.We are not in the business of chasing awards. We are, however, in the business of ideas. We are paid to producebeautifully crafted ideas, that are rooted in human insights, which serve our client’s brand purpose. Our job isto produce contagious brand communication that spreads like wildfire amongst people, and that resonates sodeeply that it becomes a part of the social fabric. Cannes is the ultimate measure of the quality of our ideas. A Lionis a mark of outstanding creative acumen that serves a client’s larger business goals. But don’t take my word for it:below is an excerpt from a fascinating article entitled “the Business Case for Creativity: Why Coke thinks Winningat Cannes Matters.” This piece was published in Fast Company, and was written by Coca-Cola’s VP of GlobalAdvertising Strategy, Jonathan Mildenhall. The full article offers a deep glimpse into the unmistakable correlationbetween creative success at Cannes and business results: “The global significance of [Cannes] gathers momentum each and every year... No other award festival covers so many critical categories for advertisers. Cannes Lions now boast 18 award categories... The breadth is staggering and it will only continue to grow as more and more genres of creativity are embraced to drive business growth... But an awards festival that focuses solely on breadth could be destined for a dull and uninspired future. Cannes is not about volume. It is absolutely, steadfastly and utterly, committed to quality. And to me, few things are more important. Cannes Lions simply curates the world’s finest strategies, ideas, executions and craft. To be recognized at Cannes is to be recognized by the world’s finest creative minds. Minds that are not only brilliant, but brutal in their critique of the work. Winning a Cannes Lions builds careers. Permanently.”The careers Jonathan is talking about are not just on the agency end. He offers a number of telling examplesshowing how the work that wins Cannes Lions leads directly to commercial success and greater market share forclients. Here he quotes James Thurman, the author of “The Case for Creativity”, to emphasize his point: In every case, the companies that have been the most tenacious in their pursuit of great creativity in their advertising have been the ones outperforming the stock market and enjoying historic periods of financial prosperity. And in every case the leaders of those companies had created a culture of innovation that advertising was just symptomatic of, but which extended well beyond advertising and into culture, the products, and the day to day activities of those companies. A creative day to day that produced the most extraordinary results in the history of the world’s most illustrious companies.Please read Jonathan’s whole article, linked to on this page, and share it with your clients if you can. We mustcultivate relationships with our clients so that they too become champions for creativity, and advocates for Lion-winning work. Love it or hate it, despise it or celebrate it, Cannes remains the gold standard for our industry. Everyyear, more and more clients are flocking to the festival, and are embracing it as the place to identify best practicesand the agencies who bring ideas to life in fresh and interesting ways. It’s on us to make sure we shine with thebest, and are producing world-class work worthy of the great brands in our portfolio. 3

A single glance at this is revealing: although we had a phenomenal year, winning a record55 Lions and having 173 pieces shortlisted, it’s clear that there’s a lot of room for improvement in a few specificareas. For instance, as mobile devices become more and more ubiquitous across the world, it’s unacceptable thatwe have no work in 2012 that was even shortlisted in this increasingly important category. We must build on ourstrengths, while also seeking out new opportunities in each of these channels. There is no reason why we so oftendefault back into traditional media choices when there are so many more contact points available today.I urge all of you to take stock of the campaigns you’re currently working on, and identify the best platform ideayou’re working with. Can you find a way to express that idea in each of these categories? Test the quality of thethinking underlying your campaign or execution by asking whether or not the core idea can be expressed in avariety of communication channels. Truly great ideas are media infinite in their potential, and they don’t hinge onyour choice of contact point. Think big, and don’t be hemmed in by what you’ve been asked to do. This is worthremembering: we have far more creative opportunities available to us if we take advantage of all the communicationchannels we can work in. It’s our job to show our clients media options that they might not have considered. 4

GPC 3Q 12This second chart documentswhich Leo Burnett offices aroundthe world won Lions at Cannes in2012. I want to congratulate each ofthe winning teams for all their hardwork: the depth and breadth of thislist testifies to the talent we haveacross our global network.

For that to happen, we needevery single Leo Burnett agency tohave one great idea, one campaignthat’s been crafted exquisitely, andpresented impeccably. If each of ouragencies puts a single great idea onthe table, we will achieve successen masse, on a scale our networkhas never achieved before.

I like to think that the language of our ads has been ventilated in the fresh Chicago breezes and rinsed in the clear waters of Lake Michigan. And touching this, it seems to me that Chicago advertising draws up a lot of nourishment from the richness of American folklore, restores it, and perpetuates it in a keen and lively sense....I like to think that Chicago is a consumer city, not a colony of communication specialists, and we aren’t huddled up in one-industry suburbs where a man can’t toss off a remark for fear of hitting his boss. I like to believe that our city is a well-adjusted organism that doesn’t need an analyst to tell it who it is and where it is going. ” 7

A Q U A R T E R LY N E W S L E T T E R F O R T H E G L O B A L P R O D U C T C O M M I T T E E GPC 3Q 12Susan Credle Leads Chicago’s Hottest Shop Susan Credle arrived at Leo Burnett Chicago in the fall of 2009, 24 years into a storied career that began at BBDO in New York City. Her rise through the ranks at BBDO is the stuff of legend: not every intern can fearlessly scale the ladder to become the Executive Creative Director of one of the world’s greatest agencies. Along the way, Susan collected virtually every creative award in the business, and become renowned globally as one of the masterminds behind the colorful M&M characters that gave a long dormant brand a new lease on life. She took M&M’s, an iconic old product with deep equities, and transformed their rather formulaic approach to marketing into a showcase for some of the smartest brand icons in advertising. Where there were only red and yellow M&M characters before, Susan and her team created a colorful ensemble of five, each with a distinct voice, color, and story to tell. With this new cast, she helped launch a new era for M&M’s that changed people’s perceptions and gave the brand a platform to build on for decades to come. It is this kind of experience and background that led Mark Tutssel to hire Susan as the Chief Creative Officer of the company’s flagship agency in Chicago. Another brand with deep and valuable equities was looking for a leader to spearhead a new approach.In the three short years that Susan has led Leo Burnett Chicago’s formidable creative department, she’s helpedengineer a remarkable turnaround for the agency. After a prolonged period of lackluster new business growth,the agency has won a stunning 16 new accounts since the summer of 2011. The new clients knocking on thedoor are impressed with the creative work emerging from the office, specifically the way Leo Burnett hasrebooted it’s 50-year relationship with Allstate Insurance by creating the hugely popular “Mayhem” campaign,which marks a big departure from Allstate’s more traditional approach of years past. That campaign is a greatexample of the fresh, strategically sound, and creatively compelling work currently coming out of Leo BurnettChicago, and it’s created a wave of momentum throughout the agency. There is a growing sentiment around thebuilding that everyone is making tangible contributions to the creative product, no matter what their departmentor job title is. In an agency the size of LB/Chicago, getting everyone on the same page is no small feat, and Susanhas accomplished this by fostering a sense of openness and accessibility, and by emphasizing the benefits ofcollaboration instead of competition. She has repeatedly implored her teams to be generous with both theirideas and talents, and her frank assessments and straightforward style are transforming a creative departmentthat for many years was a labyrinth of conflicting loyalties and ambitions. With Susan, what you see is what youget: a soft spoken leader with a firm hand, with a track record of bringing out the best in the people around her. 9

Tony and Guy have been a fixture at London’s top agencies for almost three decades,rising through the ranks at multiple companies on the strength of their partnership and the award-winning workthey’ve created. They began their career at Leagus Delaney, then moved to Still Price Lintas, and subsequentlymade stops at CDP, TBWA Simons Palmer Clemmow Denton and Johnson, and AMV BBDO, before formingtheir own shop called Malcolm Moore. After a few years of running their own company, which was subsequentlybought out, Tony and Guy were hired by Wieden + Kennedy / London as senior creatives, and then in 2004they were lured to Leo Burnett London, where they have been hugely productive and responsible for some ofthe agency’s most lauded work of the past few years. As the authors of the universally acclaimed McDonald’s“Favorites” spot (which won a Silver Lion at Cannes in 2010, and then the first ever Gold Creative EffectivenessLion in 2011), and the iconic Nike “Parklife” commercial from 1998, Tony and Guy spent an hour describing thecreative process behind these two successful films to a rapt audience. An unlikely odd couple with a hugelyendearing sense of humor, this talented pair has created outstanding work for some of the world’s greatestbrands. Pictured below are links to just a few of their celebrated pieces. At the inaugural Black Couch Series,Tony and Guy shared a window into their creative process, a little glimpse of the fanatical attention to detailand passion for craftsmanship that’s essential for anyone hoping to succeed for three decades in advertising. 10

The One Show isone of the most prestigious award shows in the world,and stands out from other festivals for several reasons.Unlike many award shows, the One Show is run by a non-proﬁt organization, and its judging sessions are conductedby secret ballot, without the debates that characterizeso many other juries. This laser sharp focus on the quality ofthe work goes hand in hand with the One Club’s mission,which is to “celebrate the legacy of creative advertising and to use that legacy to inspire future generations.”Emily was kind enough to spend some time introducing One Club activities to the GPC, such as the One Club’songoing education initiatives for advertising professionals and its programs to strengthen and encourage morediversity in the communication and design industries. After reviewing some of the One Club’s activities, Emilyshowcased some of the amazing work that won pencils at this year’s One Show festival, held every May duringNew York City’s Creative Week. The panel was delighted with the work she shared.One of the One Club’s many collaborative projects is an inspirational speaker series entitled “Lessons fromLegends.” In conjunction with Google, the One Club sponsors this event, featuring creative icons describingsome of the lessons they’ve learned over the course of long and successful careers in advertising. The ﬁrstspeaker was Lee Clow (Chairman, TBWA/Worldwide) in Los Angeles, and this month, the One Club hostedMark Tutssel (CCO of LB/Worldwide) along with Bob Scarpelli (Chairman, DDB/Worldwide) in Chicago, wherethese two industry titans discussed the potency of big ideas, and the contagious quality of truly inspirationalcreative work. This kind of constructive creative dialogue, showcasing the talents working in communications,is what the One Club strives to do, year after year, through all their endeavors, 11

The big idea behind this campaign was to produce a series of five TV spots that changed and evolvedover the course of the Olympic games, each featuring different film content that reflected the shifting mood of the nation and the narrativearc of the games. Exquisitely shot and edited on an incredibly tight time frame, these spots were part of the biggest and most ambitious out-door ad buy in British advertising history, and the scale and ambition of this endeavor are truly astonishing. Even though these commercialswere crafted and produced in a matter of days, they are masterful pieces of quality filmmaking, each careful edit accompanied by an elegantand understated voiceover that helps point out how every person experiences the games a little differently. The cameras capture a widerange of characters, giving the spots a deeply authentic feel, as spectators, workers, athletes, and volunteers are all seen at authentic andtelling moments. These emotive films conclude with the line “we all make the games,” and the campaign as a whole covered a wide rangeof channels and made impressive use of user-generated content. McDonald’s successfully captured the spirit of the 2012 games, and whatthey meant to the people of the UK. The legacy of this campaign has raised the bar for sponsorship marketing, and positioned McDonald’sas a brand that truly understand the authentic experience of the British people.‘McDonald’s.

To bring this platform to life, Secret crafted a 20 minute interactive short film called “Meanamorphosis,” in which a particularly vicious mean girl in high school, surrounded by a like-minded clique, goes through an astonishing transformation when she realizes that her bullying has literally made her smell. Viewers watch this petty and vindictive girl become conscious of her actions for the first time, as she is beset with a stench born from her incessant bullying. This beautiful short film is Secret’s first foray into branded content, and it’s a strong start, with great casting, acting, direction, and pacing. The film is accompanied with a classic scratch and sniff card, and viewers are invited to scratch it at various points in the film to get a real sensory experience of just how badly “mean stinks.” Secret.

Usingthe insight that Guatemalans superstitiously buy special “luckysoaps” from vendors, which promise to bring them things likemoney, love, and good sex, the bank produced a limited numberof “lucky soaps” and sold them on the street.

In a hugely popular spot from Leo Burnett Zurich, Martin divines a great winter ahead through a masterful act of ant-whispering. After this spot spread throughout Europe, a certain animal rights group protested that people may begin to sit on ant hills after seeing Martin Horat do it in this ﬁlm. The spot was pulled from the airwaves to placate the group, but a groundswell of public support and a concerted PR campaign from LB/Zurich forced the animal rights group to back down, leading to the return of the ﬁlm online and on the air. This PR campaign generated a large amount of publicity for the Switzerland Tourism industry. 17

Team unity is paramount, and individual performances are considered to be secondary concerns. Nike wanted to change this, and chose to launch a campaign targeting high school baseball players throughout the country. Schools were sent a box of 9 baseballs, with one ball for each position on a baseball field. Each ball contained a custom QR code that linked to a position- specific mobile site. Each mobile site contained training tips and advice from Nike athletes on how to succeed and become stars at their position. The mobile sites also enabled players to compete with other athletes at their position from other schools. The Nike 9 Heroes campaign generated enormous interest around the country in the lead up to Japan’s most famous high school baseball tournament, and helped change player’s attitudes towards individual success. 19
