Anticipatory Coordination in Socio-technical Knowledge-intensive Environments...Andrea Omicini
ome of the most peculiar traits of socio-technical KIE (knowledge-intensive environments) -- such as unpredictability of agents' behaviour, ever-growing amount of information to manage, fast-paced production/consumption -- tangle coordination of information, by affecting, e.g., reachability by knowledge prosumers and manageability by the IT infrastructure.

Hi there. Welcome to the latest Frisk special!
We’ve got a rather chewy edition for you this month. You see, there’s a general election happening - you’ll have spotted this in the press, unless you live in a Grand Designs- style eco-bunker with no TV and patchy wi-fi. It’s kind of a big deal.
The Big Three – Cameron limbering up in the blue corner, Miliband boxing clever in red, Clegg strapping on his yellow gloves – have been set for a rumble for some time, closing in on the last corner of the ring where Farage, Sturgeon, Wood and Bennett are fighting for the title of ‘fourth credible option’. A subjective notion, of course.
Free democratic elections are the ultimate expression of modern fairness – if you don’t put an X in the box, you don’t have the right to complain about whoever’s in power, right? Well, that may or may not be the case, as voter apathy continues to plague the ballot boxes (or rather, totally leave the ballot boxes alone while going to the pub instead to complain about how ‘they’re all the same’ or ‘none of them are worth voting for’) – so will this general election be any different to those of recent-ish years? Have the televised leaders’ debates and massive social media buzz turned this into our first truly digital election? Are people better informed today, or just angrier and more annoyed? This report aims to give you an eye-opening view on the nature of the whole hoopla.
Flipping through these colourful pages you’ll find insight from all corners of Leo Burnett London – what politics can learn from advertising (and vice versa), the culture of voting as it applies to women and to youth, a data angle, a social media angle, and a retrospective snapshot from the Creatives. There’s much to intrigue here.
I do hope that you enjoy what you read. If so – or indeed, if not – be sure to fire some feedback into the Twittersphere: the handle’s @LeoBurnettLDN.
See you next month for more of this punchy wordism.

Howdy. Welcome to the latest Frisk special.
We’re deep into 2015 now – still not quite sure how that happened, something to do with the Higgs Boson probably – and it’s been making us think a lot about the subject of Loyalty.
Did you make a new year’s resolution? And if so, did you stick to it? We’ve found a fairly even split between people who’ve remained loyal to their self-imposed vows and those who gave up after about fifteen minutes...
Of course, Loyalty spreads much wider than simply remembering to cycle to work because you told everyone you would. Giles Hedger’s Admap piece, which you’ll find within, posits that we need to think about brand loyalty as an outcome of successful brand building. We’ve also spoken to Canvas8, who suggested that a key facet of building customer loyalty is to be a bit annoying and rude, as well as quizzing the team in Arc Sponsorship for their views on the loyalty journey. And, as ever, we’ve picked the brains of the Planning department to get their own entertainingly disparate views on the subject.
So, plenty there to stimulate the ol’ grey cells. I do hope that you enjoy what you read. If so – or indeed, if not – be sure to fire some feedback into the Twittersphere: the handle’s @LeoBurnettLDN.
See you next month for more of this thoughtsmithery.

Hugs and Disses: Valentine's Day Insights from ArcLeo Burnett
Have you ever felt like your partner missed the mark on Valentine’s Day? Arc, the brand activation agency within the Leo Burnett Group, is here to make sure that this year Cupid’s arrow hits its target. A new survey reveals the truth about how people really feel about Valentine’s Day. Based on the responses of a gender balanced and generationally representative group of men and women aged 21-69, the U.S.-based survey, “Hugs and Disses” uncovers the differences between how men and women approach Valentine’s Day as well as statistics specific to different generations.
Arc shares these national survey results that help us better understand consumer behavior and attitudes surrounding Valentine’s Day. The survey is an extension of Humans Being, an ongoing exploration that pieces together the story of us. It’s a study on the changing face of humanity in culture, society, emotion, values and the human condition.
“As marketers, we’re always seeking to better understand how people think and behave in the real world,” said Nick Jones, EVP, retail practice lead, Arc Chicago. “The survey gives us a glimpse into the personal expectations, purchasing behaviors and attitudes of couples as they celebrate this annual romantic holiday.”
The special edition of Leo Burnett London's Frisk is here. Frisk: Predictions 2015 aims to be different from the plethora of other prediction newsletters you may see circulating. We promise.

PRESS RELEASE
NEW RESEARCH GETS INTO THE UNDERBELLY OF THE SHARING ECONOMY
A U.S. Study by Leo Burnett Decodes What Brands Need to Know About the Future of American Entrepreneurship
CHICAGO – A new study by global advertising agency Leo Burnett, “The Sharing Economy: Where We Go From Here,” reveals the surprising and unspoken realities of the sharing economy in America and what’s truly happening in it. The research provides insights into how people perceive, and participate in, the sharing economy.
“The sharing economy is taking on a life of its own, but it is much more nuanced than we realized,” said Chief Strategy Officer Mick McCabe, Leo Burnett USA. “Our research reveals the psychology and the behaviors of sharers that can help guide brands including why people share and why they do not.”
Sharing has more texture than what’s largely reported in the media. People are chiefly motivated by practical needs, convenience and the ability to save or make money. A nominal 35 percent of people are primarily motivated to share by altruism, community and the environment.
About Humans Being
Inspired by Leo Burnett’s HumanKind philosophy, Humans Being is a thought leadership series and ongoing exploration that pieces together the story of us. It’s a study on the changing face of humanity in culture, society, emotion, values and the human condition. We explore the intersection of where cultural trends become norms and ultimately mores. Humans Being “Sharing” follows the “Relationships” and “Technology” editions that explore the cultural and technological influences on relationships and the changing role of technology in society. Visit humansbeing.leoburnett.com for more information.

Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement.

Pencil Shavings: 1Q14 GPC, Singapore

A Letter from Mark
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
Dear Friends,
Last month the 1Q14 Global Product Committee gathered in Singapore to assess our network’s creative product
and to discuss what the future has in store. We saw a few outstanding campaigns and executions, and spent the
week stewing in the heat and tropical sunshine that shines down on Singapore year round, which was a welcome
reprieve for many of us enduring one of the longest, harshest winters in memory. Many of us are anxiously waiting
for spring and the new life and fresh perspective it brings with it. We caught a glimpse of this rekindled energy in
the 1Q14 7+ work, a collection of smart ideas and startling executions that serves as the latest iteration of Leo
Burnett’s HumanKind thinking and craftsmanship. I urge you to spend some time with the people and campaigns
that fill the following pages. Let them move you, and hopefully light a fire in your belly that propels you to set
some audacious goals for 2014 and beyond. Throw off this wintry season of discontent and step up to embrace
the challenges of tomorrow. Every day our business affords us unique creative opportunities to change the world.
Let’s take a lesson from the smart, driven people of Singapore: the future belongs to those who seize it.
2. GPC 1Q 14
2
Anyone in our business can learn a lot from the way
Singapore has skillfully transformed itself over the
last 50 years from a small colonialized city-state
into a global economic powerhouse. Only 700
square km in size, with a population of just 5 million
people, this little island has become one of the Asia
Pacific region’s vital nerve centers. One of its larger
neighbors once dismissively referred to it as “a little
red dot,” a name Singaporeans have since turned
into a point of national pride. Though barely visible
on a world map, this country punches well above
its weight. Over the next few decades, Singapore
is projected to become the world’s richest city, and
its rise mirrors the region’s increasing global clout.
As the planet increasingly looks to Asia Pacific to
drive economic growth and spur technological innovation, Singapore offers us an example of a smart approach
to laying the foundations for future prosperity. With precious few natural resources to utilize, the country put a
laser sharp focus on developing its people, who have become one of the world’s best educated populations.
This strategic blueprint is something every agency should take note of: we can build sustainable success by
maximizing the talent and human capital we have on hand. We must continually invest in our own people.
The GPC is one of the ways Leo Burnett cultivates and nurtures homegrown talent. Providing evaluations and
constructive feedback to everyone who submits work for appraisal is a herculean task, one that we undertake
for both the cohesiveness of our own brand and for the purpose of helping teams achieve their fullest potential.
While the GPC began as a system of quality control, it also functions as an incubator for ideas, and as a global
brain trust and sounding board for anyone looking to produce better work. To have a supportive network behind
you is like having a big entourage in your corner cheering you on each time you step into the ring. We all have
pitches to win, clients to appease, and rivals to vanquish. But there’s no reason to fight those battles alone. You
have a large, resourceful family that wants to help you succeed. How you leverage that support is up to you.

The Singapore Story: Rise of the Little Red Dot
3. GPC 1Q 14
3
When the GPC concluded in Singapore and the group looked over our final 7+ tally, it was hard to avoid the fact
that the list was quite thin. Although the 1Q14 7+ collection contains a few brilliant campaigns likely to earn metal
at award shows this year, an unflinching assessment of this quarter’s GPC submissions has to consider some very
conspicuous absences. We didn’t see a large volume of work from important multinational accounts, and several
of our flagship agencies didn’t submit anything at all. This is unacceptable. While there will always be a few lean
quarters, and an ebb and flow to every agency’s output, it is essential that the GPC gets a clear line of sight to
all the creative work being produced by Leo Burnett Worldwide. The GPC serves many purposes, and in many
respects it’s the most telling barometer describing the health of our agency, because it offers a deep dive into
our creative product that yields revealing insights into how we’re working and how we need to grow and evolve.
Every meeting guides our steps forward, because the GPC operates as a collective compass that ensures that
every office bearing the Leo Burnett name is marching in lock step towards the same shared goal. If the com-
mittee isn’t seeing an accurate representation of what individual agencies are producing, it raises red flags and
troubling questions about the offices in question. You can avoid being subjected to needless scrutiny simply by
sending some of your work to the GPC every quarter. It’s that easy. Send in a sample of what you’re doing across
the board for all your multinational clients and big national brands. Don’t just send the work you’re proud of that
you think deserves praise. We want to see more than charitable initiatives and extracurricular pro bono campaigns
we design to affect positive change in the world. The GPC doesn’t exist just to wax lyrical about our best work. It
exists to turn work that scores 4s into solid 5s, and to make work that scores 6s into possible 7s. Even 7+ work
has room to improve to become 8-balls. The process is designed to make us all better at our jobs, and it gives
everyone in our network a chance to see their own product with fresh eyes. Every creative team working in a Leo
Burnett agency should have their work evaluated by the Global Product Committee, to get a sense of where they
stand in relation to our global standard. This process defines us. Being a part of Leo Burnett means that you are
engaged in an ongoing debate and dialogue with peers across the world, exploring human creativity and refining
how we craft effective and original communication. You are not alone. You are not operating in a vacuum. We are
stronger together than we are as individuals, and the best way to appreciate that is to let your big extended family
see your work and give you constructive feedback on it. Take advantage of the brain trust at your disposal and
see where it takes you.
As the 2014 awards season gets underway, the role of
the GPC becomes increasingly important. Our quarterly
meetings give us a chance to refine and perfect the case
studies of our potential contenders. Work that the GPC
has already evaluated and commented on is more likely
to perform well at shows, because a dedicated panel has
already spent time poring over each frame and proof,
while suggesting a range of edits and improvements.
This group wants to see you succeed, and understands
the challenges that you face. This is not a competition,
nor is it a show. That is not the GPC’s purpose. The GPC
exists to mentor creative talent and make it better.

A Call For Submissions
4. GPC 1Q 14

I hope to see a wider range of work at the 2Q14 GPC meeting in May, with more submissions from Leo Burnett
agencies around the world. I want to see bold, audacious ideas that challenge us to rethink category conventions.
I want to see brand acts that make me sit up and take notice, because they demand attention and engagement.
Radical change is coming to our industry, and none of us can afford to simply keep marching down the path of
pragmatic allegiance to a weary status quo. No one’s future in this business is guaranteed. But with hard work,
solid strategic planning, and intelligent investments in people and technology, we can lay enduring foundations
for our agency’s long term success now, much as the early leaders of Singapore paved the way for their country’s
current prosperity many years ago. Sustained success is never an accident; it is the result of driven people forging
ahead towards a clearly articulated vision, regardless of the challenges in their way. Success takes conviction, and
the willingness to fight for what you believe in. I believe in a bright and expansive future for Leo Burnett Worldwide,
and I’m proud to work alongside incredibly talented and creative people who feel the exact same way.
I want to thank Tim Green, Karen Lim, Josh Grace, Jarek Ziebinski, Ruhani Mansor, and everyone else at Leo
Burnett Singapore for being patient and generous with their time and space. We had a productive work week,
ate some delicious food, and enjoyed our time in your city immensely. Thank you for being wonderful hosts.
Kind regards,
Mark Tutssel
Chief Creative Officer

Excerpt from a memo to a creative man trying to make up his mind, July 30, 1956.
“As I see it, there are two really basic ways to go:
1. You can devote almost your entire thought and effort to the business with
such time as you can spare for family life, hobbies and relaxation. The only
rewards are money and a sense of satisfaction in your achievement, if your
work is something to be proud of...
2. You can go all out in the other direction, using business as only a crutch to
make a living, but impelled by a burning urge to express yourself in art. Money
is of only secondary interest. This can be a very great source of satisfaction
and one which I completely respect. Only you can judge the heat of this urge.
When it comes to compromise arrangements, the copywriter who really wants
to write the Great American Novel is not usually a very good copywriter and
you certainly can’t build a business around him.
I am sure you realize as much as anybody that the great need of any solid
company is to find people to build the business around. Those people must be
fired with ambition and willing to take great responsibility. In other words, they
must dedicate themselves to an advertising career, like it, and ask for more.”

My Name Is Tim Green
From across the room, the carefully considered words coming from the tall
charismatic Australian in the corner only serve to enhance the illusion. Mark
Tutssel had casually pointed out the resemblance early in the week, and
since then, members of the GPC have been weighing the comparison each
time the ECD of LB/Singapore starts to speak. As Tim Green concludes his
thoughtful critique of the work in front of him, a pair of Asian delegates at the
far end of the room nod sagely at his appraisal, and then privately share a
discrete whisper. Yes, they agree, this guy really does look like Michael Caine.
Rather than pursuing a life as a celebrity impersonator, Tim Green has built a
long and accomplished career on the strength of his talents and the power of
his ideas. He is a recent arrival to LB/Singapore, after a successful four year
run as a creative director at LB/Sydney, where he produced stunning work
like the “Watermark” campaign for Diageo’s Bundaberg Rum. Tim’s work
has earned widespread recognition and prestigious awards at every major
global advertising festival, and under his leadership Leo Burnett in Singapore
looks poised to make a great creative leap forward. Tim formerly served as
the Regional Executive Creative Director across Southeast Asia for J. Walter
Thompson, prior to his time at LB/Sydney. He has a passion for good ideas
and a work ethic that’s helped him forge a long and storied career, and is just
beginning a new chapter in one of the most dynamic and future-facing cities
of the world.

Jarek Ziebinski Leads the Fastest Growing
Network in Asia Pacific
With 50% growth in revenue and 80% growth in profit over the
past five years, Leo Burnett is currently the fastest growing creative
network in Asia Pacific. Mirroring its success in business, its cre-
ative prowess in the region is also a force to be reckoned with, as
Leo Burnett has been consistently recognised as one of the top
two regional networks by leading creative festivals like AdFest and
the prestigious Gunn Report.
At the center of this success is Jarek Ziebinski, the President of
Leo Burnett Asia Pacific, whose mantra of “Growth” has become
one of his signature calling cards. While addressing a group of
agency leaders at a recent meeting, he declared that “our goal is
to be the fastest growing and most creative network in the region.”
The rationale behind his relentless emphasis on growth is simple:
Jarek notes that “growth is freedom, and creativity is the only
advantage that we have in business today.” In an industry ruled by
revenue numbers, growth gives agencies the means to control their
own future. When you stop growing, you lose your autonomy.
Jarek arrived in Singapore in 2009, after a successful tenure as the
CEO and Chairman of Leo Burnett in Central and Eastern Europe.
As the President of Leo Burnett Asia Pacific, he’s spent the last
five years demanding ambitious financial growth, while pressing
for increased transparency and accountability from every LB office
in the region. He is a tireless advocate for innovation, and has
surrounded himself with talented and visionary leaders to help
position Leo Burnett at the forefront of what he calls “the next
curve.” His candid leadership style has resulted in substantially
increased revenues and a cache of new business wins across
the region. But Jarek and his team are just getting started. At the
conclusion of the 1Q14 GPC, Jarek noted that even as Asia Pacific
continues to be one of the main drivers of quantitative growth in
Leo Burnett Worldwide, his team is also striving for a corresponding
“qualitative growth in our creative product.” With an eye to the future
and his finger on the pulse of the world’s most populous region,
Jarek is building an agency juggernaut poised for 21st century
greatness. Make no mistake: Asia is rising.
Growth is freedom.
I tell every market the
same thing: if you grow
you earn the freedom
to hire new talent, to
raise salaries, and to
expand and invest.
Growth is the key.”

LBIB’s Resident Brand Guru: Joseph Baladi Delivers
“The Brutal Truth About Asian Branding”
It’s a rare adman that has the will and capacity to candidly inform the
CEO of a multimillion dollar company that when it comes to branding,
“you don’t have a clue.” In the hierarchical world of Asian business,
where rank is king and saving face is sacrosanct, few dare to walk down
the path Joseph Baladi is busy blazing. A sought-after consultant with
extensive industry experience across the world, Joe pulls no punches
as he dispenses hard truths and honest guidance to the clients who
seek out his expertise as they attempt to grow and evolve. Leo Burnett
recently hired Joe to be the Head of Consulting at the new Leo Burnett
Institute of Behaviour (LBIB). LBIB provides brand consultancy services
out of Singapore, and sells brand workshops and a range of HumanKind
tools, trainings, and assessments that enable clients to take a hard look
at their purpose, their practices, their strategies, and their futures. Have
a look at the LBIB website and its diverse offerings by clicking here.
Widely regarded as one of Asia Pacific’s most respected experts on
branding, Joe Baladi’s 2011 book “The Brutal Truth About Asian
Branding” reflects an incredibly evolved grasp of the complex issues
facing Asian companies trying to navigate the challenges of the 21st
century. It’s essential read for anyone working in marketing in Asia.
Below is an excerpt.
“There is a fundamental disconnect between the expected emergence
of the anticipated so-called Asian/Chinese Century and the idea that
it can be fueled by Western brands. In reality, of course, this can’t
happen. Either Western brands will continue to dominate, reducing
the Asian/Chinese concept to hype, or great Asian brands will rise
to prominence. The general consensus is that a robust and genuine
Asian/Chinese Century is pretty much a done deal; that it is going to
happen. This can only mean that great Asian brands will also need to
be developed. But for this to take place, the stubborn resistance to
change that has characterized recent decades will need to be replaced
by a profound, tectonic shift in business practices, mentality, and culture.
The longer it takes for Asia to create great brands, the longer it will take
for the region to achieve its potential - or, some say, its destiny.”

Leo Burnett Asia Pacific Excels at AdFest 2014
AdFest concluded a few weeks ago in Pattaya. This annual Asia Pacific Advertising Festival is a celebration
of the best creativity in the world’s most populated region. The show embraces and celebrates Asia’s cultures
and heritage, and this year, the juries reviewed over 3000 entries from 41 cities across the Asia Pacific region.
The Leo Burnett network performed extraordinarily well at AdFest 2014, and was named the “2nd Most Awarded
Creative Network in Asia Pacific.” In total the network took home an impressive 36 awards - 1 GRAND PRIX,
I INNOVA Award, 3 Lotus Roots Awards, 2 Gold, 16 Silver and 13 Bronze. Leo Burnett picked up awards for
major clients like Coca-Cola, P&G, Diageo, McDonald’s and JAL. 10 offices contributed to Leo Burnett’s creative
performance - Sydney, Colombo, Bangkok, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Manila, Jakarta, Cairo, Istanbul and Taipei.
Leo Burnett Sydney led the way by winning 21 awards in total, demonstrating their remarkable creative prowess
in all communication channels. They took home the highly coveted GRAND PRIX in Outdoor for Coca-Cola’s
“Small World Machines” and a prestigious Lotus Roots Award for Diageo’s Bundaberg Rum campaign “Road
to Recovery.” Leo Burnett Sydney was the 2nd most awarded agency in the entire region.
Leo Burnett Colombo also took home a prestigious Lotus Roots award, and the first Gold award for Sri Lanka,
for the inspired ADA Newspaper “Unity Paper” HumanKind act.
Coca-Cola was named Advertiser of the Year 2014, on the strength of brilliant work produced by LB/Sydney
and other agencies.
Leo Burnett’s outstanding performance at AdFest is a testament to the creative consistency of the network,
which over the course of the last 5 YEARS has always ranked in the Top 2 in Asia Pacific - 2010 (2nd), 2011
(2nd), 2012 (2nd), 2013 (1st) and 2014 (2nd).
The work produced by Leo Burnett Asia Pacific across multiple countries continues to earn praise from the best
minds and talents in our industry, which reflects the extraordinary people working for Leo Burnett in this region.

Leo Burnett: The Most Awarded Network in MENA in 2014
The 2014 Dubai Lynx Awards recently concluded in
Dubai. The Lynx is the Middle East and North Africa’s
(MENA) most sought-after trophy, benchmarking creative
excellence throughout the region. This year the festival
attracted 2,279 entries. The show is run by Cannes and
attracts the region’s most inspiring creative work.
This year, Leo Burnett MENA won 37 prestigious
awards (8 Golds, 9 Silvers and 20 Bronze), for major
clients including McDonald’s, Samsung, P&G, Virgin,
Mobinil and Du. Four Leo Burnett offices contributed to
this outstanding creative performance; Beirut, Dubai,
Cairo and Jeddah.
The network ranked 3rd at the Festival, and Leo Burnett
Beirut was the 3rd most awarded creative agency.
This stellar creative performance follows hot on the heels of this year’s other major regional show, the MENA
Cristal Awards, where the network ranked No.1. As a result Leo Burnett is the “Most Awarded Agency Network
in MENA in 2014.”

Xavier Beauregard Discusses Le Trèfle’s “Emma”
Each quarter the GPC hosts a master class session called the Black Couch Series, where an award-winning
creative team delves into the backstory behind a notable campaign they’ve conceived and produced. At the
1Q14 meeting in Singapore, Mark Tutssel sat down with Xavier Beauregard, the ECD of Leo Burnett/Paris to
discuss the beloved commercial “Emma” Xavier’s team created for Le Trèfle toilet paper. This huge viral hit
quickly became one of the most popular spots of 2013, and it’s widespread notoriety generated strong sales
results for Le Trèfle while boosting Leo Burnett’s global creative reputation. Xavier and Mark discussed how
the team took a seemingly innocuous brief and transformed it into a memorable film that uses authentic hu-
man insights to tell a hilarious story that perfectly captures the benefits of an extra-large roll of toilet paper.

PROCTER & GAMBLE - ARIEL & DOWNY Aid Couture
Leo Burnett / Manila
Category: Integrated
Each year, the Philippine Red Cross receives 18 tons of donated clothing to assist typhoon victims. Many of the clothes are garments
that have little utility to people who desperately need food, water, and basic essentials after the devastation wreaked by a typhoon. In
partnership with P&G brands Ariel and Downy, Leo Burnett Manila worked with the Red Cross to launch “Aid Couture,” an initiative to
transform these unusable clothes into meals, medicine, and other essential items. Volunteers washed the donated clothes with Ariel
and Downy, identified possible fashion finds, which were then used by some of the country’s top stylists to create “Aid Couture,” a
highly publicized and hugely successful fashion show. The clothes in the show were sold and all proceeds were channeled to typhoon
victims. This hugely successful campaign used multiple channels to turn useless charitable goods into life-sustaining assistance.

McDonald’s Literacy Store
Leo Burnett / Chicago & Arc / Chicago
Category: Promo & Activation
There are 31 million children in the USA who have never
owned a children’s book. Seeking to address this issue,
McDonald’s created a series of original children’s books to
include as Happy Meal gifts, and distributed 20 million via
Happy Meals in November of 2013. To dramatize the critical
importance of literacy, one Chicago-area McDonald’s was
given a dramatic temporary redesign, in which everything in
the restaurant was rendered illegible. From the signage, to the
menus, to the ketchup packets, no one could read a thing.
Visitors to the restaurant were disorientated and confused,
until a digital menu drove home the message. “To a child who
can’t read, the world can be a confusing place. To spread the
joy of reading, we’re including original kids’ books in every
Happy Meal.”

Category: Promo & Activation
The Mimi Foundation supports cancer patients as they endure the
challenges of cancer treatment. Many patients report a loss of joy
in their lives, and an inability to be carefree, as the gravity of their
diagnosis hangs over them. To give patients a moment of pure
joy, the Mimi Foundation created a campaign around a memorable
act. 20 cancer patients were given elaborate makeovers with
their eyes closed. They were then photographed at the moment
of the big reveal, with astonished expressions on their faces.
These amazing images were printed on posters, into a beautifully
designed book, and were shown in public at a gallery event. The
campaign delivered pure joy to patients, “if only for a second.”

Ebara Foods Industry - Vegetable Seasoning
Funfair In Your Mouth
Beacon / Leo Burnett Tokyo
Category: Promo & Activation / Innovation
Ebara Foods in Japan wanted to promote their line of vegetable seasoning
sauces, and was looking for a way to specifically appeal to kids. Working
with university professors, Beacon / Leo Burnett Tokyo designed a unique
interactive experience that encouraged children to eat green vegetables
by promising them a “funfair in your mouth.” The agency employed bone
conduction technology, and placed marinated vegetables on computer-
controlled vibrating skewers that delivered a one-of-a-kind experience to
kids who bit down on them. The skewers delivered sonic impressions to the
kids through their teeth, so that by biting down on the marinated vegetables,
children could hear fireworks, experience the thrill of riding a roller coaster, or
even hear the sounds of racing cars or dinosaurs in their minds. This unique
execution made news across Japan, and even received international press
coverage. The campaign generated a 103% sales increase for Ebara, and
gave kids a one-of-a-kind experience they will likely never forget. Beacon /
Leo Burnett Tokyo continues to find innovative ways to engage and delight
audiences.

Procter & Gamble - Secret Mean Stinks - Biggest Assembly Ever
Leo Burnett / Chicago
Category: Integrated
Secret Deodorant has spent several years developing a national campaign called “Mean
Stinks,” which positions Secret as a trusted ally for teens, schools, and parents who want to
see an end to bullying amongst the youth of America. The brand’s anti-bullying stance has
made it one of the most public and vocal advocates discussing this issue, and after years of
employing a variety of communication channels to drive their message home, Secret worked
with Leo Burnett Chicago to host and facilitate the “world’s biggest assembly.” Using Google
Hangout technology, the brand orchestrated a simultaneous real time gathering of schools
across America to discuss bullying in an unprecedented gathering unlike any other of its
kind. Triumphing over a range of logistical issues, this bold act attempted to change the
culture of schools, and used popular celebrities and technology to scale up “Mean Stinks”
to affect an entire generation of kids at the same moment. This campaign changed lives.

Business In The Community Second Chance {Skip}
Leo Burnett / London
Category: Interactive
This brilliantly designed interactive piece compels people to change their attitudes and behaviour towards ex-convicts. As part of
a campaign created for Business In The Community to support rehabilitating ex-offenders into society, this campaign bolstered the
“Ban the Box” initiative which was created to ask employers to remove the box on job applications requiring people to provide details
of past arrests and incarceration. If you’ve done the time, you should be able to start your life anew with a fresh opportunity.
This ad is placed as a lead-in to popular online content. For instance, on the site above, viewers will see this piece after clicking on a
link to see a video of Prince George leaving his christening with members of the English Royal Family. Before that clip runs, however,
a penitent young man speaking directly into the camera asks you to give him a chance. He admits that he’s been ‘inside’ for mistakes
he’s made, and while he’s describing his inward journey and the lessons he’s learned, a small “skip ad” button appears, giving you the
chance to avoid dealing with this man. Most viewers immediately click this, as standard human behaviour is to bypass any advertising
to get to the online content you desire. However, when you click “skip ad”, the same former ex-con reappears on your screen, only
he’s now aware that you don’t want to listen to him. He begins to rush through his poignant appeal to your better nature, even as you
still have the chance to keep pressing “skip ad.” The more times you press it, the more desperate and sad the young man becomes at
your swift rejection of his appeal for a better life. The spot ends as he notes that it takes less than 30 seconds to dismiss someone for
their mistakes, dramatically emphasizing how employment discrimination works against ex-offenders. Ban the box. Have the patience
to give ex-offenders a viable chance at a new life.

Business In The Community CVs: Kelly, Mark & Gary
Leo Burnett / London
Category: Direct Mail
This direct mail campaign was targeted towards HR directors and employers capable of making personnel decisions in companies
and organizations. As part of the Business In The Community campaign encouraging people in the UK to address and challenge the
systemic discrimination against ex-offenders, fake resumes and CVs were sent into companies as actual job applications. At first
glance these documents follow familiar conventions, but when reading them, the text reads like the internal dialogue of an HR rep
who quickly dismisses any job seeker who has spent time in jail. This impactful campaign is perfectly targeted to make an impact
on people who have the power to affect real change on this issue. The brilliant writing here is constructed around powerful human
insights and conveys a very effective sense of empathy for both employers and ex-offenders seeking work.
“It takes less than 30 seconds to write off an ex-offender. Give them a second chance and hear what they have to say.’

To promote Seek Learning, an education provider in Australia, Leo
Burnett Melbourne created a series of hilarious short online films
around unique facts that were designed to spread virally. In this short
spot, the campaign’s spokesman points out the curious fact that ‘In
the 1800’s, sausages were originally marketed as ‘bags of mystery.’
He then grabs an ancient jar from a dusty shelf, remove a highly
dubious old sausage from it, and bites into it with a smiling grimace,
while offering the following caveat: ‘5-century rule!’
He spends a few moments recovering, then offers up the following:
‘I love that learning. If you like this learning, and want to study marketing
or any other course, I can give you all the advice you need.’
‘Learnings from Seek Learning.’

Kellogg’s - Special K More Than A Number - Jeans Store
Leo Burnett / Chicago
Category: Design & Packaging
Kellogg’s Special K has always been an ally for women who want to feel good
about their bodies. As part of an ongoing campaign encouraging women to
think of themselves as “more than a number,” the brand has been staging
unique experiential events that ask women to consider the qualities they want
to embody, beyond any measurable numerical targets they want to achieve.
For one day in July, Special K staged a “unique denim experience” at a jeans
boutique in Chicago, in which all the sizes on the merchandise were replaced
with complimentary characteristics instead of digits. The store featured multiple
design elements created to drive this point home, encouraging women to think
of themselves as a size “stunning” or a size “vivacious.” Through unique retail
design, packaging materials, measuring tapes, and POS posters, LB/Chicago
helped Special K emphasize that no one’s self worth can or should be reduced
down to a size or number. ‘Kellogg’s Special K. What will you gain when you lose?’

TMB Bank One Baht Flyer
Leo Burnett / Bangkok
Category: Promo & Activation
TMB Bank wanted to change the way Thai people save money. The bank
offers savings accounts with extraordinarily high interest rates that are
usually only available for accounts with very high balances. TMB offers
2.5% interest rates to anyone who opens an account with a minimum
deposit of 1 baht (roughly $.03 USD). To dramatize this offer, LB/Bangkok
developed a sticker that was placed on one side of 100,000 individual 1
baht Thai coins, transforming the nation’s currency into a viral medium
spreading the message of TMB’s incredible interest rates. This promotional
act resulted in 130,000 new customers, and 75 million Thai baht placed
in new savings accounts. ‘TMB. Make the difference.’

Honda - FCX Clarity Honda H20
Leo Burnett / Melbourne
Category: Promo & Activation
The Honda FCX Clarity is a vehicle destined to
revolutionize the auto industry. Powered by an
innovative hydrogen fuel cell, as opposed to the
traditional gasoline engine found in most cars, the
Honda FCX’s only emission is water that is clean
enough for human beings to drink. To dramatize
the harmless nature of the emissions from this
groundbreaking vehicle, Leo Burnett/Melbourne
developed a campaign around the idea of H20,
a brand of bottled water that details how the
FCX can generate water as a waste product that
humans can drink. These impeccably designed
water bottles were carefully placed to maximize
their impact and reach, in venues like gas stations
and as a free giveaway in movie theaters.
‘Honda. The Power of Dreams.’

Firestone Pick-Up
Leo Burnett / Chicago
Category: Film
In this beautifully crafted film for Firestone, a young couple is flush with excitement in the midst of eloping from their home. They
quickly gather some simple essentials for their hasty wedding and depart in a cloud of dust in their trusty truck. Across town, an older
couple piles their groceries into their car and heads home. Unbeknownst to both couples, these cars are approaching each other on
the same highway. When they see each other, both vehicles brake suddenly and the couples stare at each other in shock. The older
couple stares at their daughter, furious that she is dressed as a bride and that the young man behind the wheel is attempting to steal
her away. The tense confrontation ends when the young groom puts his truck in gear and pulls away from the scene with a squeal of
tires. The bride’s mother tells her husband to “let them go,” as the two watch the trusty pickup truck depart.
‘Whatever your drive, drive a Firestone.’

Allstate Insurance Trash
Leo Burnett / Chicago
Category: Film
In this latest TV spot for Allstate, Mayhem is “a big old bag of fast food trash” sitting in the passenger seat of a car on the highway.
The driver tosses the innocuous bag of trash out his window and instigates a chain reaction of accidents and unexpected destruction.
“If you’ve got cut rate insurance, you can be paying for this yourself. So get Allstate, where agents help keep you protected from
Mayhem like me.”
‘Mayhem is everywhere. Are you in good hands?’

Mayhem Twitter
Leo Burnett / Chicago
Category: Interactive (Twitter)
Allstate Insurance wanted to quickly establish a
web presence on Twitter, after competitors got a
headstart building up large followings. The brand
leveraged the popularity of their iconic “Mayhem”
character, and launched an attention-getting
campaign that truly brought “mayhem” to the
platform in a way no brand has done before. From a
highly publicized stunt designed to initiate Twitter’s
infamous “fail whale” to engaging a wider audience
by asking people to vote on potential story lines for
Mayhem, the campaign generated immense interest
and quickly earned Allstate a larger Twitter following
than any of its competitors. The reach and scope
of Mayhem continues to grow and evolve as he
branches out into new channels.

Lisbon’s Municipal Council LX Type
Leo Burnett / Lisbon
Category: Design (Typography)
One of the definitive ways to experience the city of Lisbon is to board a tram, and ride through the city’s neighborhoods taking in
the history and the monuments around you. The iconic street cars that traverse the city are guided by an elaborate network of wires,
which are framed against the sky and form unique shapes as they mesh and intersect. LB/Lisbon utilized these wire shapes to design
an original font called “LX Type”, which became “the official font of Lisbon.” The city’s website encourages online visitors to write
words using the font, and each unique word generates a custom itinerary around the city, as each letter identifies a city attraction that
begins with that letter. The LX font is also available for free download. The beautiful design and intelligent application of this font are a
great example of insightful, purpose-driven design. ‘Use the font, and get to know the city through it.’

Leo Burnett / Toronto
Category: Design & Packaging
Leo Burnett/Toronto’s department of design was asked to brand Smith Oyster Bar, a restaurant that focuses on offering the best and
freshest seafood. To convey this idea across multiple contact points, the agency developed branding that combined a nautical theme
with the immediacy of newspaper. The menu is a broadsheet newspaper format and the fish & chips wrapping is a nod to the classic
newspaper wrapping. Other elements include after dinner mints and nautical themed coasters.

Appendix: Cultural Fuel - 1Q14 Singapore
We are eternal students of human behaviour.
The GPC travels to a different city and country every quarter, to learn from and be inspired by Leo Burnett
agencies across the globe, while observing and sampling from each host country’s rich cultural landscape. In
Singapore, in between delectable bites of the city’s delicious and unique cuisine, the delegates observed the
complex interplay of Chinese, Malay, Indian, Western, and Eurasian cultures that comprise key parts of Singapore’s
unique identity. Here are a few movies and artists whose work offers telling glimpses into Singaporean life.

Ilo Ilo
This movie won the Camera d’Or
in 2013, the first feature film from
Singapore to win an award at the
Cannes Film Festival
“Anthony Chen’s portrait of a
family in 1997 Singapore is one
of those rare films that manages
to capture an entire period within
an intimate slice of life. Beautifully
acted and precisely observed,
Ilo Ilo is an amazing debut, full of
heart and intelligence.”– Ang Lee
Singapore Dreaming
This movie won the Montblanc
New Screenwriters Award at the
54th San Sebastián International
Film Festival in 2006.
“...a poignant, yet darkly humorous
story about a typical Singaporean
family coming to grips with their
aspirations. It weaves a layered
and moving tale about a family
dealing with loss, ambition and
the search for what really matters
in life.”
Catherine Lim
Catherine Lim has become one
of Singapore’s most recognized
authors. Her work offers unique
insights into Singaporean cul-
ture. Here are links to her blog
and website, as well as two of her
novels and a collection of short
stories.
“{The Bondmaid] is considerably
more than a Chinese bodice-
ripper. Its love-between-the-
classes plot may be a chestnut,
but Lim enriches it by painting
in many of the daily details in
the life...providing a welcome
glimpse of an unfamiliar society.”
