Iceland

Iceland Feeds the Nation

Weber Shandwick
When the UK went into lockdown in March 2020, the way we shopped for food changed overnight.

With the first storm, we took the media by storm and put the call for a 30% diversity quota at the epicenter.
Communities For Development

Money Makes Money

DUDE, Kurio, MassiveMusic, Third City
It’s common knowledge that “money makes money”: the rich are getting richer by investing in each other's ventures, while they ignore smaller, poor entrepreneurs. That's why people from Bulambuli, a small rural community in Eastern Uganda, who needed urgent investments, decided to hijack this well known truth by pretending to be filthy rich – and portraying it in a Kanye-level rap music video.
Ford of Europe

Ford: Very Gay Raptor

Hill+Knowlton Strategies

Winner
Deutsche Post

Official Partner of Santa Claus

Kastner
Christmas would be tough without DHL. We’re talking about eleven million parcels every day in Germany alone. Santa Claus is a great guy, but he can’t deal with all that by himself. Don’t believe in Santa? Then you probably won’t believe that we’re his official partner, either. What about good brand communications – a video series featuring six funny spots? You’d believe in that, right?
DHL

The Mask - The Only Choice Left, Is To Do What's Right

Altobelli
Leadership at DHL is all about Respect & Results. But how do you show your respect when 380,000 colleagues put aside their fears in the face of a pandemic, and, despite the adversity, continue to supply people and markets around the world? The company had to make a statement that was as strong as the employees themselves. And that’s what we did – with a film that went viral.
Deutsche Post

navos - Public Dialogue Consultants
NordLink, completed on time and budget, connects German wind energy with Norwegian hydropower and can supply 3.6 million households with 1,400 megawatts of renewable energy, thus decisively reduces CO2 emissions.

Telekom goes TikTok

TikTok is currently the fastest-growing social media platform and is particularly relevant to Generation Z.
