KEEP CALM PLEASE ENJOY CORINA GRIGORE
RESUME
Dear Saatchi & Saatchi I must admit I have been following you on Facebook for a while. I’ve seen parts of your work and I even found things we have in common. One of my biggest goals in my “Things to do before I die” list is to be involved in a social responsibility campaign. Who knows? Maybe we will save Africa together one day. Now that I finally have the chance to introduce myself as well, I really do hope you feel the same. I am looking forward to your positive response Corina Grigore

PORTFOLIO?
PORTFOLIO 2012/13 – YCN Awards Challenge: Create a campaign for the LEGO Brand that distinguishes LEGO from all competitors
Solution: The most significant competitive advantage of LEGO is the diverse range of fantasy characters. Every child has one either because he associates himself with the toy, either because he feels more secure and confident while having it. The characters, most of the time perceived as “heroes�, empower the user throughout his daily activities.
Solution: In this campaign we aim to illustrate the most common situation that can occur to a LEGO owner: feeling the hard, edgy plastic on your bare foot. This funny, charismatic campaign will remind the consumer of his childhood memories when “the tools of imagination� were spread all around the floor.
PORTFOLIO “House of Amber - Exercise of imagination” Challenge: Suggest a unique brand identity for the jewelry company House of Amber. Solution: “House of Amber – Exercise of imagination” – The uniqueness of each jewelry piece lays in the inspiration point of each design. The idea aims to represent an exercise of imagination between designers and customers.
PORTFOLIO
Jeans Intelligence – WOMENPROOF JEANS Challenge: Suggest a unique campaign to promote Jack & Jones jeans line Solution: After the Jack & Jones jeans user is “cruelly abused” by girls in the brand’s “Become a Girl Toy” campaign, WOMENPROOF Jeans would be the “next episode”. This campaign suggests the fact that the user “is resigned” to the idea that women are hunting him, but at least he will wear the proper “ammunition”.
The Alternative School for Creative Thinking– What Kind of Sheep are You? Challenge: Build an integrated campaign for TASoCT around the idea of the “Black Sheep” Solution: “What Kind of Sheep are You?” aims to promote “the alternative thinking” among creative professionals and communication students. The idea behind the campaign underlines the fact that “the black sheep”(having an alternative thinking) will always have success, while “the white sheep” (the crowd thinking) will just yearn for it.
THANK YOU!
I sincerely hope you enjoyed “Corina Grigore Resume�. I am looking forward to your positive response.
