“At a certain point I came to the frustration that everything my team and I did did not spill over into the mainstream, so we remained these little beautiful flowers of great creative ideas.” Carolin Silbernagl from zukunft zwei gives an insight into her creative way of tackling the big challenges of social change. #Solvedit #consulting #leadership #innovation #social #change #berlin #ekstasy
I remain a beautiful flower after all 🌹😃😉
Who said media buying is boring? A cool marketing stunt from Liquid Death where they offered 'mini billboards' to other brands to place their ads on Liquid Death's 500k packages in stores. Liquid Death recently concluded the eBay auction. Over 200-plus brands bid on it. Coinbase was the winner and paid $500,114 for this 500k unique media buy opportunity. 200 million people shop at retail outlets every week where Liquid Death is on the shelves. This 500k exposure will be enormous! It is being called more valuable than a 30-second Big Game commercial, which sold for approx $7m and reached approx 123m viewers. Sometimes trying something outside the comfort zone helps energise both the creative and media teams. Nicely done Andy Pearson and congrats Kate Rouch!

Introducing our creative ad campaign for Starling Bank: the Kite Debit Card! Designed to make managing pocket money a breeze for kids while nurturing vital financial skills. We used humour to communicate the human insight that while kids desire financial freedom, parents still need to maintain control and visibility. We showcased humorous scenarios relating to how kids might dream of using money to mirror adults - for example, with a scene where Noah gets his non-existent beard shaved at a barbers. This was a true collaboration of teams at Starling Bank and Ekstasy across strategy, creative, and production, with a total of 80 minds working on this project. https://lnkd.in/dXxgvcwb #StarlingBank #Ekstasy #Creative #Advertising #AdvertisingAgency #CreativeAgency #Fintech #Startup #Banking #Storytelling
