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 events’ 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.

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.

We design the creative concept inspired by the modern and glamorous side of the Uae, we use the most premium venue in Lisbon, which normally hosts concerts and other major sporting events. The Atlantic Pavilion with a capacity of more than 30,000 people was changed into a glamorous and sophisticated space for only 800 guests.

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. The day would begin with registration and a light snacks in the foyer dressed as a misty forest. During the breaks the exhibition area, for critical hands-on time with the products, would open. 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.

Dela 75 years - For Each Other Objective: providing inexpensive funeral insurance and assistance for 75 years, the goal was to host an unforgettable party to highlight Dela’s core principles of continuity, linking generations and helping each other. Guests were invited to consider the past, experience the present, and celebrate the future. Creative idea and description: the story of Dela had to be told. Not only in the form of an anniversary book, but also live, during the cooperation’s 75th anniversary. Dela’s slogan ‘For Each Other’ has been central since the company was founded in 1937. To highlight the anniversary celebrations, a tailor-made musical was created. The crew consisted employees. An enthusiastic ensemble of 60 Dela colleagues told their own story. The musical narrates an impossible love (between a rich girl and a poor shoemaker) and the founding of a company that wanted to give everyone, rich or poor, a dignified farewell. The result was a production about a colourful journey through time with a happy ending as the symbol for a flourishing company. The show was staged 3 times at Muziekgebouw Eindhoven, a stone’s throw away from where the cooperation was founded. Stakeholders
attended the premiere and employees celebrated the 75th anniversary with a show and a big party. Staging and set design: the show’s set design centred around a large screen (10 x 4) on which various backgrounds were projected. The advantage of this technique was that the stage director was able to change the complete look and feel of the stage in seconds. Backgrounds varied from 1920s cityscapes to 1970s Saturday Night Fever dance classics. The set design (including costumes) consisted of multiple props created EuBea 2012 by Dela employees. Media Mix: posters, emails, printed invitations, website and online registration and plenty of aftercare (in the beautiful anniversary book, photos, dvds, film clips and a reunion with cast and crew).

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).

Creative idea and description: creation of a unique setting with the aim of rewarding the effort of the 620 people. The choice of venue was a key factor in being able to create this unique setting. The symbolism of the venue was the starting point for all the excitement throughout the entire event, setting it apart as ‘the stage of great conquests’. Following on from the stage design, it was important to get people - the real artists - to come up on stage to receive the well-deserved applause expressing recognition and appreciation. Everyone went up on stage to receive their diplomas and at the end everyone took to the stage again for a group photo when the lunch room was revealed. Lunch was served on the stage for 620 people. Each person who went up on stage had their
photo taken and at the end these were assembled on a board prepared especially for the purpose. Creation of a JM musical group ‘Tuna, Portuguese Academic Group’ and over a year they rehearsal the music (created by them) to perform on the event. Audio/video/lights: creation of an advanced framework so that the people could go up the stage and suspension of screen (12x8) for the projection. 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. The experience of this day left an indelible mark on the lives of each of the 620 people.

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. Exclusive 3D mapping on a 3m Bacardi bottle. Light: 78 moving heads mac 101 integrated to the video wall between screen stripes and synchronized with the video content. Unique 4m DJ table made of Jarag. Results: the agency managed to keep the real celebration a secret. Only four employees from Bacardi were aware of the full scenario of the event. The agency managed to trick 400 people! The company's employees had absolutely no idea of an anniversary party, so they will remember it for a long time!

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. Creative idea and description: the strategy was to devise a setting which recreated the same kind of forests. The whole room was covered by a white screen on which videos were projected to enable us to transport guests to some of ‘tomorrow's forests’. The video, the sounds and the scent of eucalyptus, the real pine and eucalyptus trees together with the cool breeze turned the Ritz's ballroom into a virtual forest. An image was developed which conveyed the communication objectives and which underlay the whole communication approach and the website, where there was a live
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.

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.

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 360° 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 Beetle’s multifaceted positioning was communicated through music & dance. An famous DJ played the latest tunes setting the scene & atmosphere. To emphasize the highly specialised sound
system of the Beetle Fender, a rock guitarist showed off her skills. Inspired visitors could unleash their dancing moves and influence the visuals on the led walls through their body movements. Media Mix: next to cut-throat and high tech media usage for both key products on the giant led screens, tailor-made live events to underline positioning and personality were designed and implemented for both cars as well. The UP! was launched through a highly charged unveiling show, covering the various uses and mind sets of the funky UP! from urban chic to sun kissed beach life.

Staging and set design: on the Berlin exhibition ground, VW created its own brand world that reflected the principles of appreciation and belonging: the two central circular event areas were ‘embraced’ by a dynamic system
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. Media Mix: since the event was for internal personnel only, communication was limited to participants and to the areas where the event took place. A homepage gave advance information about the event and an individual signage system in the event corporate design provided on-site orientation in and around the various event locations. Results: the highly emotional and identity-forming brand experience successfully boosted service advisors’ self-awareness as brand ambassadors and increased their brand loyalty and commitment to performance, thus leaving them highly motivated to play a crucial role in shaping Volkswagen’s success story.

Roche Diabetes Care Germany's 2012 Annual General Meeting Objective: the 350 employees should leave the conference united in their enthusiasm for new beginnings, with renewed confidence in the organization and a lasting impression that the structural changes are crucial to its future success. Creative idea and description: the structural development represents, and the production visualizes, an evolutionary leap. Central element is a gigantic egg, symbol for new life, new potential, new beginnings. The two-day event sets the stage for it to hatch, as a metaphor for starting anew. Day one prepares the way for this new start by providing transparency on the background situation and strategic necessity of the change. Management and employees engage in direct dialogue and a number of interactive formats revolving around the egg create understanding, active involvement, and a feeling of community. The staging of the first crack in the egg's shell serves as the emotional conclusion to the day. The second day's proceedings focus on the new structure and the company's core values. Everyone's input and engagement is desired. Once everything has been brought together, the egg is ready to crack open a little more! The employees, in 33 workshop groups, are the ones to develop the company's new internal slogan. The highlight: a voting procedure à la the Eurovision Song Contest. Then the slogan has been chosen. The future can begin. The emotionally charged finale
culminates in the stage egg actually breaking open. The winning slogan collectively chosen during the employee activity is now the company's internal slogan for the coming financial year - a communicative activity with a lasting impact. Staging and set design: the egg becomes a central aspect of the event's media projections: during speeches and presentations, it serves as a projection surface for accompanying 3D animations. i.e. during dialogue and interactions participants reach conclusions together, these are displayed right on the surface of the egg. Results: some 350 employees, deeply moved, ready to ‘break out of their shells’ and be actively involved in shaping their company's future. Nearly 100% of the participants said in an anonymous feedback questionnaire that the conference had been a successful kick-off event for the new organizational structure.

Discovery Day of Safran Objective: two objectives revolving around the content of the day as well as the event logistics with a tremendous challenge: organizing the event in three months. Global support of the client starting from consulting on the plenary and exhibition contents. Supervising 3,000 collaborators from all over the world. Creative idea and description: the event’s strategy was to immerse the guests in Safran’s world by designing a program based on a plenary and an exhibition presenting the activities and career opportunities at Safran: round tables, quizzes, videos. The highlight of the day is a
huge collective activity, the footages of which will be broadcast within a media and online campaign. A human logo made by 3,000 new collaborators on the Bourget tarmac. An imposing party at the Air and Space museum to close the event with a celebration concert in front of the Concorde airplanes. Post event communication has been set up to relay all the videos and qualitative satisfaction surveys on the contents. Staging and set design: the original strategy was: to design a stage with exceptional sizes for the event: 36 meters long; to allow this huge stage and the speeches to be dynamic by setting up three areas: a tv set and two ‘talk’ spaces both hosted by two journalists. A pared down style highlighted by white lights will add to this apparatus. Media Mix: the agency set up more than 20 video reports for the event. These interviews were carried out in Mexico, the US, China, India, Morocco and of course France, in the different branches of the group. Results: 3,000 people coming from 26 different countries.

Porsche 911 Carrera dealer launch event in Cape Town Objective: to confirm the significant status of the most important model and to manifest as the brand identity in the consciousness of the dealers, as expressed through the event motto: Porsche Identity. Creative idea and description: staggered in eight waves, 2,100 guests from over 70 countries took part over a period of four days per group. The highlight was the staging of the reveal, where the onlookers were transported from the hanger onto the tarmac on a mobile grandstand. There, they experienced the choreography of 13 Porsche 911 and three Albatross jets synchronized precisely to the second. In addition, the guests put the new Porsche model to the test around Cape Town and on the race track, experienced the special features of the sports car in workshops, in experiments with 3D technology and in an interactive exhibition. A reception for the guests at the summer residence of the President of South Africa and a smoothly integrated fashion show of the Porsche Design Driver’s Selection, including the reveal of the new 911 Carrera Cabriolet, rounded off the overall experience of the new Porsche 911, with impressions of the host country, South Africa. Staging and set design: the region around the Table Mountain and Cape Town was used as an event space. The location ‘The Lookout’ was adapted to the claims of the customer: Porsche interior elements, illuminations, technical equipment and a revolving stage provided additional upgrades for this premiere location. At Ysterplaat Airbase
two hangars were equipped with a mobile kinetic grandstand, equipment for sound and video animations, exhibition and workshop areas, show stages, media walls and an exhibition aircraft. Media Mix: interactive workshops involved the use of a driving simulator, 3D technology and one-to-one experiments. An iPod app was available throughout the event which contained background knowledge on the 911, an audio guide as well as a competition. Each participant was given a DVD containing video and photo documentation as well as a high-gloss event magazine and a personalized photo album. Results: qualitative sample surveys of the guests and dialogue between organizers, guests and management documented the lasting motivational boost for the guests and an image boost for the brand identity.

go LIVE Objective: orchestration of an innovative and motivating strategy kickoff event that is not only information transfer for 900 employees and managers. Interactive challenges are used to heighten team spirit, and awards for outstanding accomplishments generate long-term loyalty and enthusiasm for their work. Creative idea and description: for two days, the Bavaria Studios serve as the location for O2’s temporary TV station. The location is known for prestigious directors, celebrities and famous movie productions. Authenticity is paramount: no hidden technology. The atmosphere is glamorous, fascinating and hands-on. A real TV studio and adjacent editorial offices are set up in 6,000 m2, and for every part of the event, the participants are involved in corresponding TV formats such as news, reports or talk shows. They autonomously establish important elements of the strategy for 2012 in editorial conferences. The idea behind the event is a precise reflection of the essence of any O2 sales employee’s daily work: In close contact with their customers, they have to perform ad-hoc: no rehearsals, no mistakes. Always on the spot - the same demands of a live TV broadcast. An after-show party and celebration of the best sales employees who receive a ‘Top Seller Award’ perfect the highly emotional evening.
Staging and set design: modular furniture ensures flexible use of two halls. The centerpiece is the ‘go LIVE’ studio. Before the broadcast, actors playing producer roles warm up the audience. A professional host serves as the master of ceremony and anchorman for the following productions. During intermissions, crew catering provides an authentic backstage flair. The ‘Top Seller Awards’ are staged as a chart show: a framed ‘Golden Record’ acknowledges the dedication of the most ambitious employees. Media Mix: digital invitations with a distinctive key visual form a communicative bridge to the studio’s set design. Via intranet and preceding the event, employees are called on to shoot short films about the team spirit in their shops. The best films premier during the live show and receive a ‘Spirit Movie Award’. All entries are available in the O2 intranet. Live remotes with correspondents at O2 headquarters incorporate the whole company in the proceedings. Results: Inspired and motivated by these two days, employees return with hard-earned results into their shops and teams.

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. Siemens lives up to ‘One Vision’.

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. The day would begin with registration and a light snacks in the foyer dressed as a misty forest. During the breaks the exhibition area, for critical hands-on time with the products, would open. 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. Media Mix: website for registration and practical information. Live presentations in 3D supported by PowerPoint and keynote screen materials. The exhibition area displayed product demos for the target groups. All employees received an Ipod containing all presentations and products specifications. Results: ‘The Best Event Ever’ quote from a client who saw every goal met. Unified, inspired and highly motivated colleagues.

SRH Brainwaves Objective: the agency used a subject that the target group was interested in: Music. Under the motto of ‘Studying makes music’, students have their brain waves measured during the lecture & mixed into sounds. They show that perfect study conditions and state-of-the-art learning methods can increase brain activity. Creative idea and description: the idea is the interactive music project ‘SRH Brainwaves’. The open house day in five university sites has been used as a stage for the interactive music project ‘SRH Brainwaves’. Students from different subject areas have their brain waves measured live during the lecture with special neuro headsets. They produce music with the help of a new technology. The waves are converted to acoustic colours, rhythms and frequencies and perfected at the turntables of DJ Schowi and Palina Power, who mix unique tracks from them live in the foyer. The entire technical process is visualised for the visitors with a special software. This means that everyone can see live how the students are thinking and what kind of music
is made from this. A real-time camera shows the brainwaves above the heads of the respective students as notes. If you cannot be there in person, the ‘SRH Brainwaves’ can be viewed via a live stream on Facebook. Media Mix: the project ‘SRH -Brainwaves’ lives off of cross-media networking. To clearly place the young and innovative image of SRH universities, the project has been communicated via the channels that young people use every day: in addition to the live streams on Facebook, this includes Twitter and YouTube videos. This provides a platform for visitors who cannot be on site to follow the event as well. An accompanying PR campaign in print, TV and online media increases attention and the range of the project. Results: after only one month, ‘SRH Brainwaves’ had 4,500 fans on Facebook, 100,000 calls on YouTube and many reports on the largest German university portals like Unicum and Unikosmos.

3D in the Park Objective: to promote Babushkinskiy park and introduce a new approach to the parks in Moscow, to make them innovative, modern and interesting to visit not only for parents with children, but also for youth and seniors. Creative idea and description: the first Russian Madonnari festival has been dedicated to the Italian three-dimensional graffiti, called ‘3D in the park’. Several special guests were invited to the event, well-known European artists Nikolay Arndt, Manfred Shtader, who created 3D masterpieces on the asphalt. For only a few days they transformed Babushkinsky park
avenues into a real 3D gallery. This festival brought attention not only as an entertainment program, but also as socially important project - the invited artists held master classes and trained 14 teams of young Russian artists. And little guests of the park were also not left without attention: were prepared 3D coloring books and set up stands for painting by themselves as well as several dancing performances for them. Media Mix: the 3d in the Park festival became the main cultural event of the month and was covered by central tv channels (incl. Mtv), total coverage was near 40mln people.

Aktion Mensch Exhibit at Catholics Day Objective: to reach as many visitors as possible and to increase public sensitivity towards inclusion and its importance in society; to create a pleasant lead-in to Aktion Mensch's areas of focus, while explaining the idea of inclusion in a concrete, experiential way. Creative idea and description: One simple way of explaining exclusion, integration and inclusion, is with an illustration of a circle and various dots of different colors: to illustrate exclusion, the dots within the circle are all of one color, while dots of other colors remain outside the circle, excluded. Integration shows the dots of other colors in their own special space within the circle. They have been integrated but remain separate. The inclusion illustration shows dots of different colors mixed together inside the circle. Under the motto ‘Inclusion-Try it Now!’ the agency designs the Aktion Mensch stand as a barrier-free ice cream shop. It offers visitors a delicious new interpretation of the subject of inclusion: ice cream with multi-colored sprinkles. The sprinkles' colorful diversity stands as a tongue-in-cheek symbol for the enriching diversity of inclusion. Staging and set design: Aktion Mensch's barrier-free ice cream shop, set up to make all information fully accessible to wheelchair users, hearing-and visuallyimpaired visitors as well as to able-bodied guests, receives guests in numbers exceeding all expectations
and provides information on Aktion Mensch's main activities. The colorful ‘diversity sprinkles’ make a clear illustration of exclusion, integration and inclusion; this easily identified symbol recurs throughout the entire design concept, in printed materials and on giveaways. Media Mix: prior to the event, Aktion Mensch sent a teaser to their customers: "Do you know what 'inclusion'-flavor ice cream tastes like?… See you there?". The organization's presence was also announced in Aktion Mensch's calendar of events, in regular updates on Twitter, Facebook and Aktion Mensch's blog. Visitors could also upload pictures of themselves with their ‘inclusion ice cream’ to Facebook or Twitter. Visitors who bought lottery tickets received a confirmation a few days later. This ensures continued communication following the event.

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.

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.

Audi Q3 Trans China Tour 2011 Objective: Audi wanted to present the Q3 in what has become its most important market. The company invited journalists and multipliers to attend the driving event. In addition to providing a driving experience, Audi wanted the guests to be able to intuitively sense that Audi understands the Chinese market. Creative idea and description: the brand has been successful in the premium segment in China for many years. Nevertheless, the cars are often still perceived as ‘functional sedans’ that gave the event organizers the idea to combine the road trip with a public event. ‘Terminals’ were designed to be set up at the starting line at the different stops along the way at the finish line. The terminals would provide a space to experience the brand and its products up close and first hand. The journalists also became messengers of the brand and its products on their tour through China, during which the drivable Q3 traversed China's roads and terrain. People were able to see the car live thanks to up-to-date social media reporting. The organizers carefully designed the atmosphere surrounding the trans-China tour to inspire the journalists to cover the event extensively. In addition to setting up a website, which is still active, they particularly focused on digital and social media. Staging and set design: all of China became the stage for the Q3! The car's labeling as the ‘the urban way to drive off road’ was tangible at the starting and finish lines and people experienced the car's off-road character in the countryside. The organizers designed the route to give people the chance to experience China in a way that surpassed the typical television images
and clichés. The route ran through metropolises that are less known to Europe as well as small villages. Media Mix: almost every type of media was used to report the 2011 Audi Trans China Tour: product launch, roadshow, public events at prominent locations (‘The Place’ in Beijing, shopping mall with a 500-meter led ceiling, ‘The Bund’ in Shanghai, the ‘Concert Hall’ in Shenzhen), interactive road journal on the iPad, extensive terminal and exhibit structures at the starting line, stopping points and finish line, pr (online and offline, live and post-event reporting, print and tv). Results: the event generated resonating communication from positive media coverage and detailed publications.

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.

Creative idea and description: the Windows Phone 7.5 Hotel united different lifestyle aspects to one event: the real experience of a movie, photography, entertainment as well as social networking and the mobile world of adventure: with the help of various scenarios the film ‘Ghostbusters’ became alive for the visitors. In this way a high grade of emotions was created. To make their way through the Hotel whilst solving different tasks, the visitors received a device with Windows Phone 7.5 at the device, containing different features. With every scanned QR-code and every finished submission the proton level increased until finally the doors of the secret cinema and the bar opened. Lifestyle components were the screening of ‘Ghostbusters’ and an art exhibition as well as a live shoot of a Ghostbusters scene with lifestyle photographer Oliver Rath. Audio/video/lights: were staged while the discovery tour, so that the hotel obtained a gloomy flair to it, fitting and supporting the movie and adapting to the cinematic ideas of the particular rooms. Staging and set design: the entirely unrefurbished Passarelle in Berlin was rebuilt in five days as a hotel with two floors, a reception, different hotel rooms, a gallery, a bar and a movie theatre. It was important for the organizers to recreate the charm of the historic
building beside the authentic replica of a hotel. The film ‘Ghostbusters’ was brought to life by imitating famous scenes in the rooms and halls of the hotel and integrating a photo exhibition as well as a live shooting. Media Mix: the Windows Phone 7.5 Hotel App and the mobile experience were central parts of the hotel tour. The app, developed especially for this event, showed a proton level bar which gradually rose by scanning QRcodes. These were hidden on specific items in the different hotel rooms and, after having been found, showed the way to the next task. Also the app contained a map, room information as well as operating hints and individual features of the device including how-to videos. Results: 310 guests (260 handpicked influencers) dealt four hours with the new Windows Phone. 4 days after the event, the Windows Phone DE Facebook fanpage counted 4500 new fans (+15 per cent).

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. The event was advertised with several outdoor, online and promotion activities.

Seavolution, Germany at the Expo 2012 Objective: to demonstrate the capacity for innovation of German companies and research institutions to the world by showing a mixture of information and entertainment. In this context, the presentation allowing interactive experiencing was to be integrated into a coherent overall concept. Creative idea and description: the guideline of the pavilion is a travel from the German coast to the ocean’s deep sea area. The overall concept creates a synthesis of the engineering virtues Germany is well-known for and of the topic of the Expo. The visitors pass through three successive topical areas (coasts, living space, and treasure chamber). Sets of information, exhibits, and media are contextualised there. From the point of view of design and contents, the arrangement is in line with the staging of the topical areas. 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. So we transfer the ILS principle to human movements - with an interactive spotlight installation. In poorly or unlit car parks, a spotlight appears out of nowhere, finds people and follows their movements thanks to an innovative motion-tracking camera and special software. 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.

The EM-Walker Objective: the concept was to penetrate the emotional Euronics campaign motto ‘Wir sind die Fans der Fans’ (‘We are the fans of the fans’) into German media. Thus, the agency was assigned to develop a unique event corresponding to the idea of the campaign - and to make it the unmistakable talk of Germany. 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. Euronics was talk and picture of town.

Audi Q3 Trans China Tour 2011 Objective: Audi wanted to present the Q3 in what has become its most important market. The company invited journalists and multipliers to attend the driving event. In addition to providing a driving experience, Audi wanted the guests to be able to intuitively sense that Audi understands the Chinese market. Creative idea and description: the brand has been successful in the premium segment in China for many years. Nevertheless, the cars are often still perceived as ‘functional sedans’ that gave the event organizers the idea to combine the road trip with a public event. ‘Terminals’ were designed to be set up at the starting line at the different stops along the way at the finish line. The terminals would provide a space to experience the brand and its products up close and first hand. The journalists also became messengers of the brand and its products on their tour through China, during which the drivable Q3 traversed China's roads and terrain. People were able to see the car live thanks to up-to-date social media reporting. The organizers carefully designed the atmosphere surrounding the trans-China tour to inspire the journalists to cover the event extensively. In addition to setting up a website, which is still active, they particularly focused on digital and social media. Staging and set design: all of China became the stage for the Q3! The car's labeling as the ‘the urban way to drive off road’ was tangible at the starting and finish lines and people experienced the car's off-road character in the countryside. The organizers designed the route to give people the chance to experience China in a way that surpassed the typical television images
and clichés. The route ran through metropolises that are less known to Europe as well as small villages. Media Mix: almost every type of media was used to report the 2011 Audi Trans China Tour: product launch, roadshow, public events at prominent locations (‘The Place’ in Beijing, shopping mall with a 500-meter led ceiling, ‘The Bund’ in Shanghai, the ‘Concert Hall’ in Shenzhen), interactive road journal on the iPad, extensive terminal and exhibit structures at the starting line, stopping points and finish line, pr (online and offline, live and post-event reporting, print and tv).

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.

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.

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. Media Mix: Puma’s sailing website (www.puma.com/sailing) with blogs, videos and links to Puma Sailing Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Tumblr and iTunes podcast portals; Puma’s Social Club website (www.puma.com/social). Results: almost 18,000 visitors used the photo booth, Puma’s socials media trigger at nine stop-overs, generating nearly 24,000 unique visits; 3,100 visitors used the photo booth inside the retail store, creating 4,700 unique visitors to the special landing page; each viewed picture generated 2,4 online visits to Puma’s website; each Facebook shared picture generated 4,4 online visits to website; over 58,3% of the visitors, who retrieved their photo from the special landing page, opted-in for future Puma emails.

B/S/H/ ProTour 2012 Objective: the B/S/H/ ProTour 2012 combined a premium product roadshow for small domestic appliances with knowhow transfer and networking atmosphere. It wanted to reach resellers and major buyers in eight major German cities within only one month’s time.

Within only four weeks’ time, the set-up travelled over 5,500 km throughout Germany to present product news of Bosch and Siemens in the small domestic appliances sector at uncommon locations in Potsdam, Lübeck, Stuttgart, Duisburg, Mainz, Hannover, Nürnberg, and München. Core of the project was a flexible cube solution that Metzler : Vater specifically constructed for this purpose: 17 single cubes that each treated an own thematic field. All cubes were clearly marked by their color and content design as belonging to either the Bosch or the Siemens brand. The cubes were gathered in an overall set-up that
was split into two separate product areas of Siemens and Bosch. All cubes grouped around a joint central area. This solution prove to be of great advantage: The modular system was very flexible and could thereby be erected in various arrangements on areas from 1,500 to 2,300 square meters. Media Mix: the invitation was a pop-up mailing individually branded and layouted for Bosch and Siemens with key information, event dates and a link to the registration platform www.protour-fachtreffen.de. The follow-up communication was realized by an own microsite. Also the pictures of the single events as well as the event film were provided here for the participants. An iPad evaluation directly at the event made it possible to get direct feedback by visitors and sales representatives. Results: the interest was enormous: About 2,000 registered participants came to the events, over one third more compared to the year before. 95% of the visitors evaluated the event as very successful.

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.

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).

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.

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. So we transfer the ILS principle to human movements - with an interactive spotlight installation. In poorly or unlit car parks, a spotlight appears out of nowhere, finds people and follows their movements thanks to an innovative motion-tracking camera and special software. 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.

SRH Brainwaves Objective: the agency used a subject that the target group was interested in: Music. Under the motto of ‘Studying makes music’, students have their brain waves measured during the lecture & mixed into sounds. They show that perfect study conditions and state-of-the-art learning methods can increase brain activity. Creative idea and description: the idea is the interactive music project ‘SRH Brainwaves’. The open house day in five university sites has been used as a stage for the interactive music project ‘SRH Brainwaves’. Students from different subject areas have their brain waves measured live during the lecture with special neuro headsets. They produce music with the help of a new technology. The waves are converted to acoustic colours, rhythms and frequencies and perfected at the turntables of DJ Schowi and Palina Power, who mix unique tracks from them live in the foyer. The entire technical process is visualised for the visitors with a special software. This means that everyone can see live how the students are thinking and what kind of music
is made from this. A real-time camera shows the brainwaves above the heads of the respective students as notes. If you cannot be there in person, the ‘SRH Brainwaves’ can be viewed via a live stream on Facebook. Media Mix: the project ‘SRH -Brainwaves’ lives off of cross-media networking. To clearly place the young and innovative image of SRH universities, the project has been communicated via the channels that young people use every day: in addition to the live streams on Facebook, this includes Twitter and YouTube videos. This provides a platform for visitors who cannot be on site to follow the event as well. An accompanying PR campaign in print, TV and online media increases attention and the range of the project. Results: after only one month, ‘SRH Brainwaves’ had 4,500 fans on Facebook, 100,000 calls on YouTube and many reports on the largest German university portals like Unicum and Unikosmos. Regional press also regularly reported on the student band turning their brainwaves into music.

The EM-Walker Objective: the concept was to penetrate the emotional Euronics campaign motto ‘Wir sind die Fans der Fans’ (‘We are the fans of the fans’) into German media. Thus, the agency was assigned to develop a unique event corresponding to the idea of the campaign - and to make it the unmistakable talk of Germany. 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. Euronics was talk and picture of town.

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!

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.

Audi Q3 Trans China Tour 2011 Objective: Audi wanted to present the Q3 in what has become its most important market. The company invited journalists and multipliers to attend the driving event. In addition to providing a driving experience, Audi wanted the guests to be able to intuitively sense that Audi understands the Chinese market. Creative idea and description: the brand has been successful in the premium segment in China for many years. Nevertheless, the cars are often still perceived as ‘functional sedans’ that gave the event organizers the idea to combine the road trip with a public event. ‘Terminals’ were designed to be set up at the starting line at the different stops along the way at the finish line. The terminals would provide a space to experience the brand and its products up close and first hand. The journalists also became messengers of the brand and its products on their tour through China, during which the drivable Q3 traversed China's roads and terrain. People were able to see the car live thanks to up-to-date social media reporting. The organizers carefully designed the atmosphere surrounding the trans-China tour to inspire the journalists to cover the event extensively. In addition to setting up a website, which is still active, they particularly focused on digital and social media. Staging and set design: all of China became the stage for the Q3! The car's labeling as the ‘the urban way to drive off road’ was tangible at the starting and finish lines and people experienced the car's off-road character in the countryside. The organizers designed the route to give people the chance to experience China in a way that surpassed the typical television images
and clichés. The route ran through metropolises that are less known to Europe as well as small villages. Media Mix: almost every type of media was used to report the 2011 Audi Trans China Tour: product launch, roadshow, public events at prominent locations (‘The Place’ in Beijing, shopping mall with a 500-meter led ceiling, ‘The Bund’ in Shanghai, the ‘Concert Hall’ in Shenzhen), interactive road journal on the iPad, extensive terminal and exhibit structures at the starting line, stopping points and finish line, pr (online and offline, live and post-event reporting, print and tv).

Using digital and analogue communications channels to increase and stimulate discussion and active involvement in recycling. Creative idea and description: to reach your target group you need to be there where they are and where they use your product.
