European Bea 2012, record edition After the nearly 100 events registered to the 2011 edition, I am pleased to announce that this 7th edition of EuBEA has 146 nominations, entered by event agencies and companies from 19 countries. An excellent result, clearly increasing in respect to the last two-year period, that means that the European Best Events Awards are more and more appreciated and recognised around Europe as the reference point for the eventsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; industry. To compete for the Little Golden Elephant, the symbol of excellence, 56 agencies, compared to 36 registered in 2010 and 46 in 2011. Projects were evaluated, one by one, by a jury made up of 32 representatives, holding different roles in the European event industry, headed by Carlo Hermes, business communication expert and managing director Hermes & Partner. A first selection was made on line by

each juror. 62 shortlisted projects were subsequently voted during the plenary session, in Milan on October the 1st. The jury awarded the first three prizes and, in addition, categories and technical excellence prizes. On November the 15th, the best European events will be revealed, and a series of awards will be delivered to the events considered as the best of each category among the shortlisted events. This second edition of European Event Annual represents a showcase of all the projects that competed for the European Bea 2012 podium. All the winners, which are presented in the following pages, are always rewarded during the award ceremony in Milan, in the widest setting of Bea Expo Festival.

Alitalia Day 2012 Objective: three years from the relaunch, Alitalia decided to publish the results achieved and future objectives. The new ceo Ragnetti and the chairman Colaninno launched a strong message to colleagues and stakeholders - the company is strong, renewed, full of energy and ideas, ready to complete its relaunch. Creative idea and description: the event centred on the pride and passion lavished every day by those who take the Italian flag around the world. So lots of space for the films, from historic ones to the videos describing how the new technologies project Alitalia to the cutting edge. For those who fly, the most evocative image is the world seen from the windows of the cockpit - the metaphor of the flight turning into a direct experience for all participants. Live, films, graphics, everything as though seen from the aircraft. After the convention in the morning, the area was transformed to welcome the second part of the event, the Open Day. More than 3,600 people, mostly employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; children, invaded the square where three aircraft were ready to be visited. The scene that had greeted managers and executives in the

morning was the stage for the Max Giusti show, closing a day full of content, emotions and contact pleasantly with music. Staging and set design: the scene was a gigantic cockpit where four screen-windows offered an overall view of where the Alitalia aircraft is flying. 40 m of high definition Led screens for a unique, engaging glimpse. The auditorium, an amphitheatre of 2,200 seats, was crossed by the catwalk for 20 metres, starting at the platform, bringing speakers and participants closer.

Wedding Rewinded Objective: in September 2011 Nikon releases a unique compact camera. The dynamic staging of the product gives the press and the sales people the chance to actively test the innovative range of services that the Nikon 1 offers. The distinctive points they remember shall establish Nikon as the ‘leading brand’. Creative idea and description: the agency boost the journalists’ and sales people’s ego and invite them to capture as VIP photographers the most emotional moments of a pretty crazy wedding at which we can either pause life or rewind the time: Wedding rewinded. It is a surprising live staging with actors in a 3D pop-up scenery: Church, ‘Just married’, party. Every scene is dedicated to a different innovative function of the Nikon 1 that the guests can actively try out. During the ceremony spontaneous modifications of the pop-up scenery and unexpected interventions take everyone by surprise, they are totally unforeseen - just like the best motives in real life. With so much ‘action’ even the best photographer loses a great motive sometimes. No

problem: we rewind certain scenes. Live. For example when the groom forgets the rings. Agitated he leaves the bride and the church to get them. And with him the scene runs backwards: everyone moves like in a rewinding movie back to the beginning of the ceremony. Staging and set design: out of nothing an altar appears. And disappears just as fast. Instead of speaking sententiously the priest raps his text with all his might. The dynamic staging with spontaneous modifications of the 3D pop-up scenery and unexpected interventions gives the press and the sales people the chance to actively test the innovative range of services that the Nikon 1 offers. The nationwide wedding takes place at 50 events in 13 cities. Results: forwards, backwards, still image - at the end of the tour everyone is happy: the guests took 250,000 pictures in total and are enthusiastic about the Nikon 1. Nikon is happy about the strong feedback from the press and trade partners.

Adam & Eve Award-Show 2011 Objective: to reinforce the perception of the Adam & Eve Awards within the industry and among the public as the most important prize and to present the Famab as the benchmark association; to organize an exceptional award ceremony for exceptional projects. Creative idea and description: idea: what was there in the beginning? For Adam & Eve? And for today´s creative achievers? In the beginning was the deed! Implementation: the tempting apple, the deed and bravery (these are constantly repeated images, whether in then interactive online) campaign, the location set-design with its interactive installations or the ‘Tree of Knowledge’ on the forecourt, monitored by cameras and cordoned off like the scene of a crime. Repeatedly the question was: ‘Are you ready and brave enough?’ During the show everything focuses on the coveted apple. While an orchestra unexpectedly rises from the pit, a film relates the search for this seductive fruit. Light-writing, 3-D mapping and dancers constantly transform the stage set and introduce the next category. The slot machine thrillingly announces the winners, while the orchestra accompanies the presentation of the winning apples. Finally a multi-media-show takes up the narration started at the beginning and tells the story to its end. Staging and set design: the stage area bursts its bounds to create space for new performance areas. The agency use the pit to allow the orchestra to appear from nowhere at the start of the show. Large staircases are added to bring the winners from the

upper tiers directly onto the stage. In addition, the media provision mentioned constantly and surprisingly transforms the stage. Performers make use of the stage structure thus created and interact with the light-writing and 3-D mapping elements. Media Mix: online campaign with three interactive films. The focus is on the apple as an object of temptation. Each film tells its own story: burglary, peep-show, playing poker. In each case the viewer has the chance to intervene and determine the story: barefoot or patent leather shoes. So the target group is involved early on as part of the action by being asked: ‘Are you, too, ready for the deed?’ Results: increase in attendance by 20% over 2010; increase in project entries by 14% over 2010; increase in YouTube views of the online campaign by approx; 400% over 2010 media contacts generated: 3,85 million.

Grundfos, Big Bang Circulator Event Objective: to launch ‘The Red Wolf Project’ and its product line to the Internal Sales; to make an event that would be unforgettable, engaging and ensure excellent sell-in to the marketplace. Creative idea and description: the creative approach was to activate the senses and reveal the secrets of the new circulators in the most spectacular way. The agency developed the idea of the ‘Secret Inside’ as a parallel to the hidden but highly innovative elements of the client’s products. The environment - an Octagon - would bring the story to life and enhance the presentation. Projections in a spectacular 360 degrees solution, magnificent 3D presentations delivered the client’s messages in a stunning visual experience.

At the end of the day everybody gathered again for a fantastic dance spectacle, where the Red Wolf would be brought to life in a memorable show. Staging and set design: we researched the location of the event to The Arena in Berlin, Germany since the launch was international. We physically divided the Arena into three sections, each hidden from the others; 1) The foyer being the registration, welcome and break area. 2) The Octagon (the secret) -

auditorium for the presentations and performances. 3) The Exhibition area for showcasing and demonstration of the new products and at the same time provide catering space throughout the day.

Centenary BA Vidro Objective: the aim was to celebrate the company's 100th anniversary, as well as that of the event venue itself. Guests were welcomed in an ambience of fantasy and glamour. The idea was to create an unforgettable occasion transporting guests far beyond the physical nature of the company's products and services. Creative idea and description: The starting point for the design project was the raw material and its transformation into glass containers. The containers were re-used, serving as a resource to create a bold new scenographic setting. From black metal flower pots to the welcome desk illuminated with jam jars, from iron table decorations incorporating glass candle holders to a magnificent chandelier made of bottles, a whole range of pieces were made from scratch. In parallel, a video mapping project was developed to be projected on to the factory's two chimneys telling the story of the transformation of glass into containers. So that the projected images could be viewed without difficulty, BA Vidro removed a whole zinc wall from one side of the warehouse, and replaced it with two big acrylic windows (which were open at the time of the show). In this way the show could be seen perfectly and it ended with a firework display between the chimneys. Audio/video/lights: for the production of this event, 120 moving lights were used, as well as 10,000 watts of light, 200 metres of truss, and 6 video projectors. A 32metre-long structure with remote-controlled motors for raising a black curtain measuring 32mx10m. Videomapping projected on to the two factory chimneys with content produced for the event. During the cocktail

party, two designers drew BA Vidro containers which were projected in real time on to one of the lounge walls. Staging and set design: the semi-circular main stage was used for a New Circus show and for a performance by the opera singer Liza Veiga, who appeared in the room on a remote-controlled platform/stage which carried her to the main stage. Eight iron screens with coloured glass bottles divided the lounge areas from the dining room. Media Mix: As it was an internal event, there was no plan for outside advertising, but, through the public relations department, the event was attended by different media channels which led to the publication of 149 news items on television, in the press and online (24 press, 17 Tv, 97 Web, 1 radio, ? 996,421.78 Ave). Results: the objectives were fully met, surpassing the expectations of the client and guests. In addition, the event was reported in different media channels, through 149 news items on television and radio, in the press and on the web (€996,421.78 Ave).

Staging and set design: in order to create the design for the 620 people to go up on stage for lunch, we had to add a stage on the other side of the orchestra pit as well as at the side stairways to the stage to have enough space to receive the whole group for lunch. Black lycra dividers were used to screen the orchestra pit off from the stage. Results: the gratitude and excitement shown by all involved made this 4th session of the event a success.

Operations National Meeting Pingo Doce Objective: to review the previous year's performance and share goals and predictions for the following year. At the same time, to motivate employees by sharing knowledge and information, increasing their feeling of loyalty in the future and encouraging them to improve their performance. Creative idea and description: Jerónimo Martins is a conservative, 220-year-old company that does not take risks in its events. The troubled times in the world economy, high unemployment and falling company profits have affected staff motivation. We wanted to create a bold event that represented all of the brand's and the company's prestige and at the same time develop a different and innovative concept. To promote a sense of rapport amongst the highly qualified professionals of the operations department, we created a giant, semi-circular screen that surrounded the audience at the work filming shops and products allowed us to project images of the business giving the impression that the meeting was happening inside a shop, surrounded by products like oranges, pepper and bottles of water. The animation of the background projection added a certain dynamism to presentations. The meeting was a great success. Audio/video/lights: Desafio Global designed a 30 m long screen on a 180º structure. The six m high projection area was wrapped around the participants. All those present were impressed by the screen

backgrounds, which were created specifically for this purpose, using 10 Christie Roadster HD12 video projectors, combined with a production control booth with 3 VISOCPV4MP32 2 Catalyst Cameras, a lighting project with 74 Moduled 150 RGB 3G units and a purpose-built sound system. Staging and set design: the huge 180º semi-circular display gave the participants the feeling of being part of the projection, as if sitting in the front row. The size of the projections meant that the content was 100% clear. We used a simple round stage that did not get in the way of the screen. Results: when participants entered the room they were astonished and started taking pictures. When participants were asked, they expressed great enthusiasm about the effect of the room layout. The ideas shared at the meeting were later reflected in shops. We felt that our mission had been accomplished.

Bacardi 150th Anniversary World Celebration in Russia Objective: to celebrate the anniversary of Bacardi, and to make the celebration really unforgettable for the attendees, to impress them like no one else did before. The real trick was to make this party completely unexpected, as the company has a tradition to organize annual high-level events for the employees. Creative idea and description: in order to completely mislead the employees, we created fake exhibition ‘Contemporary art through the eyes of Bacardi’ to celebrate Bacardi anniversary. The art space of designfactory was filled with various installations and art masterpieces reflecting the world of Bacardi through the well-known paintings of Van Gogh, Escher, Matisse, Picasso, Malevich and Warhol; a video installation (‘The world through the eyes of a bartender’); a 3d-mapping on a large volume bottle; an art installation ‘Bacardi staff’. All the tools possible ware used to create the genuine atmosphere of the exhibition’s authenticity, such as: teaser video, announcement in the media, attendance of the journalists from leading media and tv. And than, during the boring honoring speech the hidden doors were opened and the guests saw a real nightclub, created for

only one night to celebrate the anniversary. Bars, dancing areas, stage for performances… It was a completely other dimension where everyone could have real fun. Audio/video/lights: audio: PA - 25 kW, backline for a world-famous DJ, two separated independent sound zones with different styles of music. Video: nine vertical led screen stripes of different sizes, with possibility to show video on each screen or on all of them, as a stage backdrop. Total screen area: 35 sq.m.

Opening Event Hannover Trade Fair 2012 Objective: the opening vividly and pointedly represents the meaning and themes of the exhibition as well as the eight trade fairs that are united under its roof. Based on the thematic content and design of the industry meeting, the event strengthens and supports the further development of the Hannover Messe. Creative idea and description: the industrial world is increasingly focused on creating sustainable environmental safety through intelligent combinations of efficient processes and environmentally conscious solutions. The 2012 Hannover Messe’s central theme of ‘greentelligence’ is a response to this development. ‘Dynamic Balance’ - the event on the eve of the first day of the trade presents a stage interpretation of the theme: on the one hand, the growing challenges that the industry is facing, and on the other, their ecological solutions and green technologies. The visual interpretation: two actors move to an oversized balance board, a kind of seesaw. With increasing technological development, which is illustrated in the parallel media production, the board tilts out of balance… the system collapses. Just as the performers on stage are able to stabilize the Balance Board, the industries represented at the Hannover Messe accept the responsibility to help conserve resources and prevent global warming. Staging and set design: the balance board as a technically sophisticated central element had to be

planned and constructed precisely. It symbolized the interplay between man, nature and technology and was used as a media-steering-tool. A well coordinated and highly sensitive system of sensors and controllers allowed the board to interact with the media running parallel to the performance live. The challenging task was to adapt the artistic choreography to the preproduced media content and sensible balance board as well as to train the artists to control the board in every second Results: Deutsche Messe states: “insglück staged a perfect prelude by creating a coherent, tactile-medial translation of the top theme at this year’s exhibition. Smart, contemporary and technically persuasive, this year’s opening gave expression to the innovative character of the Hannover Messe. A most inspiring start”.

International Forestry Conference 2011 Objective: creation of an exceptional event on the theme ‘Plantations in Tomorrow's Forests’. With a development policy responsible for the increased number of trees planted, the challenge was to pass on the message, promoting responsible, organised, planted forests which allow for sustainable development.

webcast with simultaneous translation. Details such as the transfer of guests needing assistance by minibus from the main entrance to the event entrance by minibus show the extent to which this event took care of its guests. We employed video projection on the lectern where the names of the speakers were interspersed with animations relating to the topics being presented Staging and set design: the setting that was created meant that guests felt as if they were inside a forest, with a range of different content. The stage set-up combined with the projected surroundings meant that guests forgot that they were inside a room in a hotel. Results: the difference of our approach could be seen from the moment guests arrived until they entered the function room, where everyone was surprised by the way in which the messages were communicated, both by video projection on the lycra screen and projection on the lectern.

Prins Bernhard Cultuurfondsprijs 2011 Objective: to honour Anton Corbijn as an artist and as a person who kept personal and long lasting friendships to many world famous figures in the entertainment business. Besides that the event had to generate media value to promote the fund.

He started working as a photographer and during his career he established an enormous oeuvre in the field of photography, design and film. As a result of his loyal character many of his 'subjects' became long lasting friends. Artists like Bono, Tom Waits, Herbert Grönemeyer, David Bowie and many others became close friends and stimulated the career of this Dutch entrepreneur. Corbijn likes to work without colours to grab the essential details of the story behind the picture or film. Therefore Xsaga skipped all the unnecessary details and colours while designing the event. It became a thrilling experience for those who were there and especially for Corbijn himself who was touched by the power of 'simplicity'. A 'sober' programme which showed the friendship and love for Anton Corbijn and its work. Sometimes an event doesn't need glitter to show the most essential things in life. Staging and set design: with love and respect for Corbijn and its work, details were skipped. The total design was focused on film and pictures and on emotional level to honour personal friendships. For this event only, the most

essential was showed by showing less. Although Xsaga united big artists, the presentation remained simple and straight. Corbijn, his family and the other guests were touched by the personal experience of the show and they appreciated the choices Xsaga made as he wrote in a personal letter. Media Mix: the media attention raised when the guests were inside and the international line-up was released to the press. The event was trending topic on internet and on every Dutch news channel. The day after the event all the newspapers opened with the spectacular 'secret' performances of Bono, Chris Martin (Coldplay), Tom Waits and more to honour Corbijn and his award.

Volkswagen at the International Motor Show (IAA) Objective: the Volkswagen booth measured a staggering 9,000 m2, featured 54 vehicles and numerous technical exhibits. With so many varied and different topics to communicate it was paramount to have an overall concept linking all communication activities. Creative idea and description: instead of a linear front communication approach, the booth visitors entered a 360Â° brand world enabling them to choose their own Volkswagen experience by selecting topics and products of their liking from anywhere in the cloud. From the complete product range to technical exhibits and solutions. From interactive elements to motorsport. From VW Individual to VW financial services, guests could freely wander around the Volkswagen booth without being guided orled. The cloud design was all about personal choice and the freedom to do whatever you want. Very much like the lifestyle Volkswagen cars give you. The cloud design made the Volkswagen booth stand out from the more traditional designs of its competitors and made the Volkswagen much more than a collection of impressive cars; it made the booth into an experience world. Staging and set design: the hipness of the Beetle was highlighted by creating the 21st century Beetle lounge. A trendy hangout where the Beetleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multifaceted positioning was communicated through music & dance. An famous DJ played the latest tunes setting the scene & atmosphere.

The vehicle choreography interacted with the media projection and brand strategy presentation, thus creating a highly emotional experience of the brand’s future visions and core values, all of which filled service advisors with great pride. At night, they enjoyed Berlin’s pulsating nightlife at first hand. During the panel discussion the next day, top Volkswagen management executives again ably demonstrated their great appreciation for the guests, stressing their key role as brand ambassadors.

of access routes that allowed for parallel handling of overlapping groups, placing the guest at the pulsating center of the action at all times. Moreover, the organic spatial concept allowed for driving choreographies visible throughout the entire area, thus intensifying the event’s dynamic character.

One Vision. One Team. One Hundred Objective: to realize the Siemens Business Conferences (SBC) and top+ award show as first-class events. The goal: a unified presentation that transports the challenging objectives of the new fiscal year in memorable and unexpected fashion. Creative idea and description: Siemens stands for outstanding technological performance, innovation and quality. To motivate employees accordingly for the new fiscal year, the business and sector conferences should provoke new ideas and energy. Siemens’ internal competition, the top+ award, (part of the Business Excellence Program) rewards the dedication of the most ambitious employees. Queen’s rock song ‘One Vision’ conveys a strong message as a leitmotif. Its integrative character connects employees globally - no matter the hierarchy level. This anthem transports personal, long-term commitment: One Vision. One Team. One Hundred. The transformation of the song in an architectural dimension is accomplished by the creation of an organic sculpture that symbolizes the vision by unfurling itself through all open spaces at the event location. Staging and set design: the architectural principle is a ‘FlowLine’. Its walls structure the spaces and enable the visual display of priority topics. It also creates a pleasant atmosphere during the breaks. The atmosphere is heightened by the concert-like seating of the spectators: 700 seats are installed in a semi-circle, raised sequentially as in an amphitheater - ensuring the best sight for everyone

and an intense focus on the raised stage. Media Mix: invitations are processed digitally on an internal platform. Diverse media create a lasting communication of the event’s message through the consistent and continual use of the song ‘One Vision’ in all channels and formats. Employees interpret the song their own way, and shoot music videos. A compilation of these videos creates a powerful final video demonstrating Siemens’ internationality and cultural diversity. The videos are popular in the Siemens Intranet and the Internet (e.g. YouTube). Results: feedback from the management confirms the event’s extraordinary success in every dimension. Participants welcome the contrasting framework between emotional set design and factual conferences. Everyone takes part in interactions and celebrates past efforts.

World Prematurity Day 2011 Objective: ‘Ene mene mini. One out of ten babies is premature. Worldwide.’ is an initiative of the European Foundation for Premature Infants and Newborns and ‘Dräger’. The concept should raise awareness of circumstances of premature babies and their parents, plus promoting simultaneously a petition online. Creative idea and description: nothing gives a newborn baby more a sense of security than the closeness and warmth of their parents. Familiar smells and voices make a huge difference for an ideal start to life. Since the voice is often the only connection the parents have with their child at this point in time, the human voice became the core of the idea: people have a voice as a gift and therefore give their own voice to those who have none. The first step: the singers were standing around a passenger, inviting the person to personal and most intimate concert in the world, in the middle of the bustling trade fair or crowds of shoppers. The singing groups sang children’s lullabies, evoking memories and feelings childhood. The selected repertoire included well-known German and international lullabies, such as ‘Good Evening, Good Night’ or ‘Lullaby’ by Billy Joel. The second step: following the singers explained the initiative of ‘ene mene mini’ and campaigned for their online petition.

Staging and set design: the ‘singmob’ took place in Duesseldorf ‘s most frequented areas, like the ‘Königsallee’, the Christmas market and at the trade fair ‘Medica’. Media Mix: the ‘singmob’ also took place simultaneously on social network sites, via YouTube and Facebook. There, the project was imbedded within further European and global campaigns. Results: hundreds of direct contacts and thousands of viewer contacts led to a drastic rise in visitors to the website and within a short time more than 2,000 YouTube viewers. But the intensity of this project is much stronger than simply tallying up numbers. Premature babies have been given a voice.

The creative approach skillfully interwove movie and real world: An elaborately produced, high-quality mood film showed the Bmw M5 in both worlds on location in Seville as a hybrid usable vehicle directly turning into the real, glamorous car reveal. At the same time, the film marked the overture for the next day that participants experienced action packed and directly, just like the protagonist in the movie. On the second day, the compressed, emotional movie plot was transferred into the live experience: participants extensively tested the car, both on a beautiful scenic drive and the high, speed Ascari race track. Emotional highlight was the thrilling race of the 560 Bhp vehicle against the helicopter. Staging and set design: the luxurious and typically

furnished premises of the Waldorf Astoria hotel, the ex-hacienda La Boticária, near Seville prove to be the perfect stage for the evening event that led to the car reveal. A huge screen of 20 square meters and a big light show put the car into scene when it came out of the tunnel.

smart EBALL Objective: electric cars have many benefits, both ecological and economic. Still, the majority of drivers doubt that such a car can be real fun. We had to find an idea which proves them wrong – and which is powerful enough to spread the message with the help of a simple yet appealing visual. Creative idea and description: to let people experience the unique acceleration of the electric smart for themselves: with a game where you constantly need to accelerate from rest. smart EBALL is played like Pong. The difference: the game is played by driving the car quickly back and forth. The position of the cars is tracked by lasers and brought to the screen with custom-built software. The cars turn into the controllers. And each driver can see for themselves the surprising acceleration and driving enjoyment – and register to receive further information at the smart EBALL counter. Audio/video/lights: a 10mm outdoor Led wall with 7,2x4m (28 sqm) displayed the game and made it visible for all spectators. The game itself was run on a computer, laser measure devices transmitted the position of the smarts for the game. For music, jingles and PA a sound system with four Eaw KF 300 and four Eaw NTS22 subwoofers was used on-site. Staging and set design: the staging and set design was

driven by covering and decorating the technical setup as well as fulfilling safety regulations. The truss system for the Led wall was covered by 200sqm Aludibond with motive prints. The whole track was fenced by 110m of protective grating and 110m of water-filled barriers. In addition, each track had a gravel trap and tire stacks at both ends as an additional safety measure. The protective grating was covered by motive prints. Media Mix: in mass media, branded content and entertainment is generally strongly restricted in Germany. This is why we came up with a unique entertainment idea that’s independent from classic communication channels. smart EBALL, a spectacular test-drive event featuring the smart for two electric drive, was located at the heart of the biggest motor show in the world, the IAA Frankfurt.

When the visitors have passed through all three topical areas and have travelled from the German coast to the depths of the deep sea, their travel ends with a virtual dive cruise in the main show. Here, the guests take a ‘trip in a glass ball’ to a place where the marine resources will be won in the future. Being a four-minute photo-realistic computer animation in six-fold HD resolution, the main show sets new standards even in South Korea where high-tech is a part of every-day life. Audio/video/lights: the visitors experience in the main show a world premiere by taking a virtual diving trip in

the year 2050 and, with the help of a unique and spectacular 360° projection technology, get the feeling of going to the floor of the ocean in a glass ball. Instead of labeling all exhibits were explained via multimedia screens and a highly modern sound systems. Staging and set design: the visitors pass through three successive topical areas (coasts, living space, and treasure chamber). Sets of information, exhibits, and media are contextualised in the topical areas to ensure that they are comprehended and that the arrangement of the location immediately makes sense to everybody. Results: the number of visitors (4,500-5,000 people every day) and the waiting queue in front of the German pavilion speak for themselves: at the Expo 2012, the seavolution pavilion is regarded as one of the most popular and most frequently visited international pavilions.

Interactive Spotlight Installation Objective: when night falls over Germany, people in dark car parks in German cities become the directors of their own ‘light show’ with an interactive spotlight that follows their every movement. Creative idea and description: due to the fact that the risk of accidents is twice as high at night, the brand with the star

turned night into day: with ILS (Intelligent Light System), an adaptive, self-thinking headlight system.

Whether moving forward, backward or sideways, dancing or jumping in circles of light, the people in the car parks can clearly see. This way, the way to or from the car on a dark night is, thanks to Mercedes-Benz, a bit safer and more fun. ‘Light where you need it. The Intelligent Light System by Mercedes-Benz.’ Results: thousands of direct contacts, which developed into multipliers: people took pictures and videos of the campaign and uploaded them to the Internet via blogs and social media.

Creative idea and description: as fan of the fans, Euronics was eager to ensure that nobody in Germany would have to miss a match of the German football team during the European Championship. Let it be

because they had to work and watching the game was not allowed or no TV was available. In order to enable the unlucky fans to watch the games anyway, the agency created the Euronics EM-Walker: a person carrying a mobile TV set in order to let people watch TV wherever he went. Hence, a distinctive backpack had to be developed. Equipped with this special device, the group of EM-Walkers went out on the streets of Germany in order to do their job. Regardless of whether bus drivers, doormen, security guards or waiters, who were all in the unpleasant position to miss Germany’s match: the Euronics EM-Walkers enabled them to spontaneously watch it - live and on the spot. The exceptional outdoor event was logged on camera in order to produce film material for national TV and online distribution as much as documentation. Results: the media coverage was a great success. Pictures of the EM-Walkers were widely publicized in Germany’s most influential tabloids and blogs, local radio stations reported on the event and national TV stations broadcasted the extraordinary idea.

Puma Race Village Objective: to popularize the lifestyle brand; to drive retail sales of Puma shoes, clothes and accessories; to increase brand awareness worldwide by creating local buzz at each stop-over. Creative idea and description: to create a retail space and a hospitality space inspired by Mar Mostro (Sea Monster), the name of the Puma sailboat competing in the race. Puma used four branded forty-foot shipping containers to create retail space. The containers created an urban, industrial feel and were strong enough to support outdoor deck space on the roofs. Doors and walls swung up, stairs pulled into place, canopies assembled and Puma was in business. A larger-than-life inflated Mar Mostro reached his tentacles out from the rooftop of the container. Mar Mostro attracted attention and enabled visitors to intuitively make the connection between the ship and the Puma retail/hospitality space. The first container featured retail on ground level and hospitality above. Custom retail fixtures were fabricated from plumbing pipe and flight cases, which reinforced the space’s urban, edgy feel. The upper floor of this container housed Bar Mostro, where guests relaxed and enjoyed harbor views from funky red upholstered seating. The container with Mar Mostro erupting from the frame was dubbed the Puma Social Club which featured both indoor and outdoor lounge areas. Casual furnishings, a bar, unfinished floors, and Puma-red ambient lighting gave the space a club atmosphere. Puma positioned its containers to create a courtyard for live event marketing programs between the two structures as the location. The traffic pattern was

designed to lead crowds into the adjacent Puma retail shop and Puma Social Club.

The idea of the event was based on the emotion connections, surprise and delight, that people get from the circus and the excitement that they get from the car. This time the ‘Car of the year in Russia’ awards was transformed into a real ‘Magic Box’ with wonders - talking dolls, living statues, and sorcerers. Guests could see breathtaking trapeze performances, enchanting magicians and perfect cars while watching magic circus show. It was also used a real magic box on the stage to introduce awards’ chairman and nominations. It was stunning, it was magic, it was circus! Staging and set design: the stage itself was designed as a complex circus arena with different levels for the artists. In the center of the stage we built a huge cube, which

worked as an entrance for the masters of the ceremony, some artists, guests and winners. Two side triangle podiums were made for the circus acting. The red carpet and the lamp belt light all over the stage and podiums always returned guests to the circus main theme. Stage was also filled with some circus props and theater red curtains.

Electric Ireland at Electric Picnic Objective: to design and to implement an interactive event which would be engaging to a fun loving audience of festival goers. Message to communicate - being energy efficient doesn’t have to be boring! Plan an event which would engage consumers both online and off - pre-event, during and after. Creative idea and description: to raise energy efficiency awareness, but in a way that was not going to bore fun loving festival goers, he agency created Ireland’s first ever ‘Energy Producing Playground for Adults’ with an assortment of energy producing games and rides: an oversized energy generating hamster wheel, an energy generating merry-go-round, an energy generating see-saw, a rig of energy generating bicycles. The event was 100% sustainable using energy power from the playground rides, bicycles and exterior solar panels. Festival goers could alsouse the rig to charge their mobile phone free of charge. This was the first ‘Energy Producing Adult Playground’ ever seen at an Irish festival - the design of 100% sustainable components was highly innovative. Social media was used to create anticipation. This increased Twitter followers whilst creating anticipation and excitement in the run up to the event. Staging and set design: to keep the space as much like a playground as possible but without sacrificing cover we opted to use a saddlespan structure. This left the area open enough for people to see the entire rig yet kept it weatherproof. All the playground pieces were designed to be as similar to normal equipment as possible. We made

use of space on the equipment by attaching magnetic branding. The stage area was the focal point of the playground and housed our DJ and display screen. Media Mix: pre-event, consumers could win tickets to the festival with through a Twitter Hunt; find the mascot who appeared in various locations around Dublin with tickets to the event; clues to the whereabouts were Tweeted daily; a creative launch took place using comedian Karl Spain to announce the line up and generate strong pre-event coverage; key members of the online blogging community were hosted at the event continuously updating their followers on key highlights of the event. Results: 24,000 followers on Facebook and Twitter. Over ?142,000 pr coverage value. + 4% spontaneous brand awareness. An average of 2,000 visitors to the playground per day. 100% sustainable event. Won the Best Sponsorship Award at the Irish Event Industry Awards 2012.

Sportbladet PLUS-Showers Objective: the purpose of the campaign was, through Aftonbladet's cooperation with supporter organisation Camp Sweden, to gain approval of the trademark Sportbladet and, at the same time, support our online business. Which means new customers. Creative idea and description: during Euro 2012 in Ukraine, thousands of Swedish fans were camping on an island near Kiev. Sportbladet saw an opportunity to seriously make a difference for the fans, and in this way significantly strengthen the status of Sportbladet in their eyes. Sportbladet understood that Camp Sweden were going to have problems providing facilities for the basic need of keeping yourself clean. Some 5.000 Swedes stayed on the campsite every night of the event. There was an extreme shortage of showers and those that were in very poor condition. Water supply was limited and that which existed was cold. We built the campsite's luxury showers: ‘Sportbladets Plus-dusch’. The showers were clean and had hot water and a door that could be closed. Only Aftonbladet's Plus-customers could use the showers. The supporters were, naturally, given the opportunity to sign a subscription for our Plus service there and then. The Plus-dusch became a natural meeting place on the campsite. Staging and set design: Diablo Marketing & Blick Event contracted an Ukraine company to help them build the showers. Then they made the last finish to make them look and feel like the brand Sportbladet. The showers were clean and had such finesses as a wash basin, mirror and electrical socket. And above all, there was hot water and a door that could be

closed. In this way the design and construction of the showers was a great different to the other showers on the camping. Media Mix: the campaign was a physical event on site in Kiev, Ukraine. The event was supported via communication in all Sportbladet's own channels web, mobile and in print – as well as on Sportbladet's facebook page. Results: Diablo Marketing & Blick Event have gained approval for Sportbladet and they have supported their Online business and promoted their Plus-offers for an important target group. Sportbladets PlusShower provided Aftonbladet with some 400 new Plus-customers. The showers were used by more than 500 supporters.

Centenary BA Vidro Objective: the aim was to celebrate the company's 100th anniversary, as well as that of the event venue itself. Guests were welcomed in an ambience of fantasy and glamour. The idea was to create an unforgettable occasion transporting guests far beyond the physical nature of the company's products and services. Creative idea and description: The starting point for the design project was the raw material and its transformation into glass containers. The containers were re-used, serving as a resource to create a bold new scenographic setting. From black metal flower pots to the welcome desk illuminated with jam jars, from iron table decorations incorporating glass candle holders to a magnificent chandelier made of bottles, a whole range of pieces were made from scratch. In parallel, a video mapping project was developed to be projected on to the factory's two chimneys telling the story of the transformation of glass into containers. So that the projected images could be viewed without difficulty, BA Vidro removed a whole zinc wall from one side of the warehouse, and replaced it with two big acrylic windows (which were open at the time of the show). In this way the show could be seen perfectly and it ended with a firework display between the chimneys. Audio/video/lights: for the production of this event, 120 moving lights were used, as well as 10,000 watts of light, 200 metres of truss, and six video projectors. A 32-metre-long structure with remote-controlled motors for raising a black curtain measuring 32mx10m. Videomapping projected on to the two factory chimneys with content produced for the event. During

the cocktail party, two designers drew BA Vidro containers which were projected in real time on to one of the lounge walls. Staging and set design: the semi-circular main stage was used for a New Circus show and for a performance by the opera singer Liza Veiga, who appeared in the room on a remote-controlled platform/stage which carried her to the main stage. Eight iron screens with coloured glass bottles divided the lounge areas from the dining room. Media Mix: As it was an internal event, there was no plan for outside advertising, but, through the public relations department, the event was attended by different media channels which led to the publication of 149 news items on television, in the press and online (24 press, 17 Tv, 97 Web, 1 radio, €996,421.78 Ave). Results: the objectives were fully met, surpassing the expectations of the client and guests. In addition, the event was reported in different media channels, through 149 news items on television and radio, in the press and on the web (€996,421.78 Ave).

Yasuragi Kids In the City Objective: Yasuragi, a Japanese style spa and resort in Stockholm had a challenge concerning reservations during summer low season. Our objectives were clear, create knowledge and buzz in the family target group by using a cost efficient marketing tool in order to increase reservations. Creative idea and description: a couple of years ago, the spa developed a concept called ‘Yasuragi Kids’ to attract families to the resort often visited by adults only. It had worked fine but needed to be communicated in order to increase knowledge and generate reservations once again. The budgets were low and the challenge big. The target group being families with kids, we decided to communicate with kids. The creative idea rolled out in

‘Yasuragi Kids In the City’. The agency turned the Yasuragi Kids-concept into a guerrilla activity during the season in need of a boost. During one week, guerrilla crews with kids were doing japanese radio gymnastics, a Yasuragi wellness group activity, at crowded places in Stockholm where the target group could be found. The kids acting as they were at the resort attracted interest and attention both on site as well as in local media. Staging and set design: the staging and set designs were simple but thoughtful, consisting mainly of three elements: the kids, their Japanese clothes and the natural environment at the selected sites. Media Mix: the main media used to create direct attention was the guerrilla marketing, in itself cost efficient and unconventional. The event was supported by regular webpage info at yasuragi.se. Results: with a very small budget of 25,000 euro for one week of guerrilla marketing and minimal investments in traditional media the event generated astonishing results. Reservations went up 7% compared to the year before, increasing turnover by 15% and visits by 2,800 guests.

Het Nationale Ballet op de foto Objective: to decrease the emotional gap between the audience and the institute by making it more visual for people. The strategy was to involve people, based on the idea that people are really touched if you involve them into something special and thrill them by unforgettable moments or a unique opportunity. Creative idea and description: the Dutch National Ballet celebrated its 50th birthday by giving a special gift to Amsterdam: a photography competition for professional and non-professional photographers. For once in a life time The National Ballet gave photographers the exclusive opportunity and freedom to take beautiful pictures behind the scenes of the institute, which is normally not allowed. The competition became an enormous success. Through an article in 'Het Parool', a newspaper from Amsterdam, people were called to sign up for the competition. On the 10th of October 2011 a group of 250 photographers arrived at the Music Theater in Amsterdam to take pictures during the repetitions. The winning pictures became the birthday campaign with

the message 'congratulations!'; a congratulation for the photographer and the institute at the same time. The photos were spreaded in mupis around the city center of Amsterdam. A beautiful bilateral gift that leaded to an amount of €104,407 of free publicity within one week! Media Mix: the photographers were called to sign up for the competition by free advertisements in 'Het Parool' (newspaper from Amsterdam). For the publication of the winning pictures the government of Amsterdam placed 200 free mupis at disposal which coloured the city center with relevant and beautiful photos of the jubilating National Ballet. During the competition articles and news letters were published and short movies were posted on You Tube. The media attention was above all imaginations. Results: the maximum of 250 photographers signed up for the competition after only two articles. 500 pictures were subscribed free of any rights. They are still being used by the ballet for free. The institute added two winners to their exclusive community of in-house photographers. €104,407 of free publicity.

Twingo, Mix your Style! Objective: to launch the new Twingo as the alternative choice to the competitors, win over the youth market and show the many options for customization. Creative idea and description: the event was designed to turn the concept of mix-and-match and on-the-spot customisation of the new Twingo into a real experience through art. To this end, the whole project combined three different forms of promotion: a launch day, a roadshow and a competition. The car debuted at the Rome Macro show where the highly acclaimed chef, Davide Scabin, presented an ‘appetising’ version of the car, customised with drawings of pasta and Mediterranean cuisine. The highly renowned Puerto Rican artist, Dzine, both astounded and entertained the public with his performance using the technique of ‘car wrapping’. The ‘artists’ Twingos’ were then displayed to the public in Rome, Naples, Milan and Bologna, not only to advertise the new car but also to present the ‘Mix Your Style’ competition for creative young people, calling for the reinterpretation of the New Twingo in line with their own tastes and personalities. Media Mix: the operation’s concept was channelled through various media (some messages strictly linked to adv the competition, others aimed more at advertising just the launch event): the ‘Mix your style!’ operation logo press coverage in support of the launch of the new model, display campaign in support of the launch of the new model, mini-website dedicated to the competition, Facebook Page, pack (in paper form with a web banner advertising the competition, pr office, direct email marketing). Staging and set design: the displays/sets created

sought to show the seven different versions of the New Twingo; the predominant colour and ‘character’ were emphasised for each version. Results: over 400 personalized Twingo were selected from the contest; more than 2,000 Twingo created with the online configurator; 224,509 new contacts online 96,487 only in the first two weeks; +91% new visitators; 750 Twingo have been ordered during the contest; 2,361 Twingo sold in four months.

The Black and Yellow Fan Van Objective: Sparda Bank West has been BVB Dortmund 09's Champion Partner since as early as 2006. Every season, the bank works to develop new activities and events that will further increase its name recognition levels by hitting home with BVB fans. Creative idea and description: this season, the agency develops a rolling idea: the black and-yellow fan van. By participating in events and contests live in the stadium, at fan bars, and on Facebook and Co., BVB supporters can win a ride to a BVB away game in a lovingly restored VW T2.

The iconic BVB Fan Van is a popular photo subject, both on the road and at promotional events held in-stadium or at bank branches. The ultimate accolades for the fan van: BVB integrates it into their victory parade through Dortmund. The van is a real eyecatcher for the parade's audience of nearly 500,000; for 6 happy passengers, it creates an unforgettable experience. All activities related to the fan van are reported over a network of live, online, social-media, print, pr, and PoS channels, ensuring high public visibility and enduring communication. Media Mix: more than 50,000 BVB fans take part in Sparda Bank's contests and soccer pools over the course of the season. As the season progresses, demand for spots in the BVB Fan Van skyrockets, especially on

Facebook. Click rates on the black-and-yellow cards' website increase dramatically after every promotional event as well. The agency also creates an ad campaign promoting the black-and-yellow van' trips away; ads are displayed in both the stadium magazine, and the regional daily newspaper. The linking element and central component of all communication is the blackand-yellow cards' Facebook presence, in close connection to their website, www.schwarzgelbekarte.de. The van wins more and more Facebook fans every day. The number has quadrupled since the beginning of the season, and user activity levels are extremely high. Results: 20% more new customers and an unprecedented wave of enthusiasm for the bank. Due to the campaign's huge success, the bank decides to use the BVB Fan Van during the 2012-13 season as well.
