Judges 2013

The 9th edition of FM&BE felt like a coming of age . Expectation of winning was a bit less intense; there was still a lot of desire and pride in place but there was respect for the competition too. It felt like an industry that is rightly proud of its collective achievements. It is obvious to most observers that FMBE is attracting a standard across its categories that isn’t routinely seen elsewhere. The reason that we see such strong displays of effectiveness and creativity from such a list of global brands, activating in different markets around the world is because we treat the judging process with such rigour. There is a positive cycle in place. A good judging process, and judges, attracts good entries which in turn attracts good judges. Nearly all of this year’s judging panel requested participation long in advance of the judging. Each year they represent a bigger and wider reaching industry spend. They hold the keys to an estimated £100M in FM&BE budget, money focussed for spend in Britain, the US, BRIC countries, EMEA and even global. For each judging panel we compile expertise from across clients of different scales and aspirations and bring them in alongside consultants who advise on agency pitches, creative solutions, venue use, event management, data handling or the procurement process. Our judging process is methodical, taking weeks not days, and is routinely reviewed by participating judges as exacting, top of class and above all fair. We make the judging process fair by using panels who offer multiple perspectives and allowing our experts time to enter the debate. The winners know that they have had a very exacting examination. This publication, and this introduction in particular, is my thank you to our judges who give up their time and expertise to make FM&BE what it is, a true benchmark of quality for a growing industry that is also a growing export business for agencies based in Britain. Beneath all of the awards’ night razzmatazz there are so many meaningful stories of inspirational achievements, and the judges have helped some great stories to shine, as told in this publication. Our awards party is an expression of so much hard work put in by so many, striving for the very best result year on year. It takes a lot of dedication to keep at it year on year, which is why I also like to use this opportunity to reflect on the most dedicated directors of our industry. Adding Rob Allen to our select list of lifetime achievers was a great honour for the FM&BE awards 2013 (see page 36)

At The Year’s Awards

Patrick Kielty It takes enormous confidence to stop an awards ceremony, break into a crude version of Robbie William’s Angels and captivate the audience in such a way that by chorus two it was a flag waving arm waving singalong, but that is just what Mr Kielty did. Patrick was funny, edgy, tireless, shocking, gurntastic and kept up an amazing pace. Just what we wanted!

This year’s event was just before the last day of British Summer Time and we thought it would be great to banish the onrushing winter blues with one last hot Summer night. So it was a Samba welcoming, gospel disco dancing, summer blazer blazing, fish and chip dining, sizzling Summer night to remember.

Kru Talent Kru Talent brought the sunshine in, booking a host of performers who were not just very good at what they did, but

performed with get charisma and guest engagement. We enjoyed the samba drummers and dancers, the magician and the basketball freestylers. Hot stuff! www.krutalent.com

Reception and more: Lend Lease

Kru Live Our hosts and hostesses kept the whole evening flowing with gorgeous smiles and a can-do attitude. Their walking canes, pleats boaters and lace were the perfect antidote to anyone needing a demure fix after a Brazilian Fantasy overdose. The champagne reception from lead our sponsor Lend Lease has become an annual catch up for many old friends on the night. In her welcome to FMBE 2013, Kerry Alligan updated guests with the latest from key brand experience Lend Lease venues Bluewater and The International Quarter (at Stratford City).

Brazilian Fantasy Brazilian Fantasy’s drum and dance samba show gave our evening glamour, clamour and and great big bang. Pizzazztastic, proud and loud.

Virtual Style Pod: Engage A brand new piece of kit to try from cutting edge provider Engage is a great coup for any event. The Style Pod was fresh in from Dubai. In it you could try on different outfits without trying on different outfits. Cool huh?

RCS Power Supplies

CK Gospel Choir

Quite a clean-living contrast with rude Patrick Kielty our happy gospel crew set a new standard for live sting sing-ups for our award winners and later took the stage in force with their full 18 piece band including 8 singers running through a repertoire of classic Summer disco and modern Ibiza hits. CK’s extended encore at 1am was awesome. The decibel monitor didn’t go over the limit at all (honest Mr Marriot Hotel sir)!

We used RCS Power’s revolutionary battery powered screens during reception in order to fly the flag for our award finalists with a display of logos and so that we could offer a gaming experience. The screens were simple to move down to the bar area later on in the evening so the we could use them to add to the summer feeling there.

A live-tweet wall has become a mainstay of the event set up, with audiences expecting to be able to join the conversation and give their reviews of a product live on site. Really Creative Media have launched a fully brandable tweet app, Hashtag Live, which was demonstrated at the FMBE Awards 2013, allows organisers to show a live social media feed from a number of sources, hastags and @mentions, moderated live from the event. Nick Dew of Really Creative Media explains; “We came up with the system as we noticed a gap in the market where the current services were requiring agencies to be overly technical to enable organising teams and brand ambassadors to use them. We draw together the provision of the AV – so the tweet wall and the software package and design portal to enable you to display the tweets. The app also allows custom artwork, which pulls data live from the web and we are also able to overlay the twitter feed onto a web stream broadcast too.”

Outsourced Sales Performance of the Year

Most Effective Sales Demo or Sampling at Retail

GOLD CPM, Tassimo SILVER Gekko, Samsung BRONZE REL, Mondelez

GOLD White Label, Courvoisier SILVER Sense, Lake District Cheddar Cheese BRONZE Cosine, Sainsbury’s

The challenge for the trophy

CPM won this category last year with sales allied to innovation and the same pattern emerged again, this time with the agency representing Mondelez’s coffee machine brewer brand Tassimo. This year’s innovation was a very different response to a very different brief and it showed how well trained sales demonstrators could combine with modern data analysis in order to set up for sales in office hotspots as well as in stores. The entry showed how smart thinking worked out where and when consumers would be most intrigued by the home barrista sales demos and making a cost efficient beeline for that spot using the best located rep. The team clearly benefited from flexible planning and scheduling that allowed the best opportunities to shine and the most successful events to be repeated where possible. Sales purists loved the entry from Gekko and Samsung, selling Samsung’s domestic appliances. In a case study (not for publication) that showed the

immediate dramatic impact of a carefully selected sales promoter in store with results that more than justified the agency selection. One judge commented: “ I really like the fact that even though this was a tactical campaign by nature, Gekko took a strategic approach to this long-term deployment of reps.” A repeat bronze in category for REL and Mondelez on 2012 gave amazing insight into a huge integrated campaign that had dramatic results instore for a raft of brands. What stood out about the winning campaign? A fantastic result at the priority store group. What did the judges especially like about the entry? An honest assessment of new sales channels for the brand, with some locations outperforming others and consequent pointers towards a strengthening grip on the market place going forwards, via roll out of the best performing.

This award is a result for anyone who has been arguing that stores are already shopper theatres, all they need is the right experience. The award judges, all from traditional field marketing backgrounds, bravely and unanimously commended a small but perfectly formed Harrods event for Courvoisier over some major campaigns and especially the massive scale and effectiveness of the bronze winner, admiring the multipurpose objectives and far-reaching results of the winner who was promoting luxury in the form of a £155 retail cognac. Through much negotiation, the prestigious Tasting Room at Harrods - a unique space perfect for an exclusive event was secured, supported by the establishment of hand-picked media partnerships with Intelligent Life and The Economist magazines. This ensured reach and reaffirmed Courvoisier’s position amongst the target audience, whilst also delivering in-depth messaging in the lead up to Christmas. The room was used for exclusive VIP, press and consumer sessions.

The nearest challenger was an agency and brand team that drew further admiration in the shopping centre/ roadshow category (see page 16). The bronze winner, Sainsbury’s and Cosine showed the next stage in an astonishing partnership that has regularly impressed FMBE award judges. What stood out about the winning campaign? They made the connection between press buzz, the instore location, and sales. What did the judges especially like about the entry? n Campaign reached 6 Million target consumers (Alchimie de Courvoisier secured over 40,000 YouTube views, lead coverage in The Evening Standard, 5M consumers reached online) n Harrods Courvoisier XO volume grew by 33% n Harrods sold out of Courvoisier XO during Christmas n +7% sales of Courvoisier over Christmas n +20% sales increase overall since 2011

Field Insight Award

Most Effective Instore Marketing

GOLD Logobrand, Muller SILVER Deeset, Hobbycraft BRONZE Orchid, Twentieth Century Fox The challenge for the trophy A head to head emerged in this one with two very different answers to the same criteria – something that we hoped for as the category is in essence a show of how field outsourcing can truly ‘make a difference’. In one corner Logobrand chose a tried and tested route showing grocery store and brand analysis to drive effectiveness in the the field. In the other corner was a fascinating case study detailing the effect a field team had when called in to make a successful retail story even better and even more effective. In the end the refreshing story of Deeset and Hobbycraft joining forces to reverse retail trends, opening new stores rather than closing them and adding layer upon layer of product availability from day one, was edged out by the grocery data story. Logobrand showed how rapidly openness driven by data had allowed the agency to add value more quickly for Muller than most field marketing teams can typically manage. Getting there was a journey. Muller had moved from in house to outsource field marketing with a trial of 3 agencies, including Logobrand and an incumbent data service from an external provider. With only limited EPOS data at their disposal, Logobrand sufficiently impressed Muller to be appointed the

solus agency after the trial period and was then able to start to use its in-house Availability Manager system. For the Silver winner, Deeset’s logistical effectiveness came to the fore offering a complete cost-effective solution which would save Hobbycraft from dealing with a raft of different contractors. The entry was a comprehensive demonstration of project management linking call centre, warehouse and ‘just in time’ deliveries. Judges were also impressed with the bronze winning team, Orchid and Twentieth Century Fox, which included these words from Anika Bizon, sales director, Twentieth Century Fox: ““The continued insight that Orchid provides us with, together with their innovation and execution, has helped us achieve outstanding results during the last 18 months” a sentiment that was backed by an extended contract. What stood out about the winning campaign? The growing confidence in outsourcing as the right solution for Müller What did the judges especially like about the entry? Weekly increased sales in Logobrand supported stores of £50,132 equates to more than £2.6m in additional sales for Müller per year.

GOLD Powerforce, Johnson & Johnson SILVER Logobrand, Britvic BRONZE The Big Kick, Tesco Mobile BRONZE RMG, LG Home Entertainment The challenge for the trophy What a contest this turned out to be. A wide variety of instore techniques and campaigns were shown to our judges but in the end two very similar case studies were debated for gold and silver. Both the lead campaigns continually worked and reworked call files and priorities through test periods for brand owners with multiple skus to support. For Loogobrand and Britvic the challenge was to leverage much improved performance at Asda, JS and Tesco’s smaller local and community convenience stores, whilst for Powerforce and Johnson&Johnson the challenge was to thoroughly convince the brand owner that a field team could add sufficient value. Both needed to clearly identify opportunities and deliver on ROI quickly. Both Powerforce and Logobrand delivered big ROI figures for their clients and were very hard to separate on results. Powerforce edged a win with judges applauding their mid trial decision to run a trial within a trial, focussing on the brands where they could make the

most difference, Listerine, Nicorette and Baby. The entry also impressed with its intelligent division of time and responsibilities for key field staff. In bronze were two remarkable case studies. For Tesco Mobile, The Big Kick impressed with what may be the most accountable street stunt of the year, interactive posters, hidden actors and a parade of staff helped shoppers to investigate, love and purchase Tesco Mobile. Stores up and down the country wanted the team to revisit ASAP! “‘To receive such universally positive feedback from customers and colleagues alike was unprecedented. The success of such an original, disruptive, bold experiential piece will set a benchmark across the business. Thanks to all for your hard work.’ Sophie Wheater head of brand and advertising, Tesco Mobile. From RMG and LG we saw how shopper engagement, retail training and merchandising had all been deployed to give the client a much bigger presence in the smart TV sector whilst helping the stores themselves to deliver an more engaging experience.

well as representing the brand at trade events, and then close the deal.

A tight one this, between all of the top four. The sheer scale and professionalism Award judges recognised that the service CPM of the Microsoft Windows 8 launch made provided in terms of staff training brought it hard to overlook, as did the exemplary about a chance for the field team to operate championing of the relative underdog that showed off the attentive work that Fizz delivered for H2O+ in M&S. For Fieldsmart and Kodak, a remarkable turn around in photo printer kiosk use in stores was delivered for the brand on a very small budget. Both McCurrach and Fizz’s entries were prepared with exemplary care and attention to detail that showed how confidently they had gone about work for a new client. In McCurrach’s case this meant masses of retail training to help overcome Windows 8 launch preconceptions. Judges were presented with a building of trust between the agency and brand that makes it look likely that the agency will share greater and greater responsibility going forwards. For Fizz the challenge was to prepare beauty promoters to sell in store at M&S in what was a huge opportunity for a client brand with little footprint in the UK. Sarah Hatch, H2O+’s UK manager said ‘Fizz have been excellent; professional, thorough and efficient. The advantage of working with a 360 degree service is massive for a brand such as mine with no base here. My area of concern was around the skills of their staff to sell in the right style and perform the demo; but from what I saw in stores last week, plus the feedback from your teams - and the sales - have put any concerns I had to rest.” The winner is reaping the benefits of a long term client relationship with Black&Decker which has extended as that business has become part of a bigger group. CPM’s influence has grown within the Stanley and DeWalt brands. Now the team have added knowledge both in terms of professional use of the power tools and through CPM’s sales academy. By doing this they can converse with professionals at suppliers such as Screwfix and Travis Perkins as

2013 FM & BE AWARDS 12

face to face in areas where the competition isn’t having the same impact, making a real point of difference in terms of quality of service and ROI for the brand. Judges noted that the team’s flexibility is evidently strong, and its USP comes from the fact that its people must have transferable skills and adapt to various working scenarios - be it training, merchandising, checking compliance, full installation and relays - or selling to tradesmen, relationship building and influencing store staff. What stood out about the winning campaign? An 86 per cent pass rate in European Power Tool Certification that allowed the CPM teams to promote to professionals. What did the judges especially like about the entry? A testimonial from the marketing director of DeWalt, Richard Mallison said “the team have added significant value to the proposition we offer to two of our most strategically important customers in Screwfix and Travis Perkins”, as well as confirming the actual turnover benefits that the team brings.

Most Effective Sponsorship Activation

Most Immersive Event (By Invitation)

GOLD DRP Group, Sainsbury’s SILVER Wired Brands, DHL BRONZE Ignition, Coca-Cola BRONZE Wasserman, EDF Energy The challenge for the trophy This was the ‘heavy hitter’ category. Both of the bronze awards went to campaigns that are regarded as virtually peerless from the perspective of Olympic activations. Both are already award winners, with the Coca Cola, Ignition entry carrying off what may be America’s biggest prize in brand experience marketing, The Grand Ex, in Chicago earlier this year.

GOLD Jar London, Wines of Argentina SILVER BEcause, Yorkshire Tea BRONZE Sevens7, Electrolux The challenge for the trophy

to head didn’t quite emerge however as silver was snatched by Wired Brands and DHL, who activated a Man Utd training kit sponsorship in 96 countries globally. And so the Brand Experience awards set out naming a team training kit sponsorship above the truly outstanding Coca-Cola and EDF Olympic work – and it was only just a silver too, challenging DRP and Sainsbury’s all the way.

Wired, a small agency, managed to bring so many accountable ideas to the table for leveraging DHL’s sponsorship globally with DHL inevitably doing the couriering of kit and trophy tours alongside the event hosting, impressing and engaging employees as well as guests. Tellingly there was a 23% sales uplift in the customers that attended DHL hospitality experiences a huge financial result Chris Martelly, Showforce, presents the award given the large attendances seen.

Wasserman and EDF had already triumphed at FMBE 2012 in a special category celebrating the 2012 summer in the UK. From DRP and Sainsbury’s we saw the entire Paralympic campaign, an entry which came with a huge reputation. Yet others were shortlisted from big agency and brand combination, There were Line Up detailing their part in CocaCola’s barnstorming Olympics, Synergy with BMW, showing how they made the brand work with England Rugby and previous category winners pd3 and O2 who stole a slice of Olympic London buzz with their rooftop experience at The O2.

What stood out about the winning campaign? Sainsbury’s backed a winner with their Paralympic support and have since become synonymous with the many incredible performances, which, with DRP’s support they have channelled into long term projects and Active Kids programmes. Without the benefit of Coca Cola’s decades of investment in the big Games sporting stage Sainsbury’s and DRP pulled off a near perfect step by step activation that touched employees, sports fans and shoppers in every corner of Britain. What did the judges especially like about the entry? DRP evidenced results in terms of sales at store during the games (up by 5,6 per cent), market share increases and brand index upturns.

A big surprise win for a genuine underdog in this category, the moreso because it was the most unanimous decision in any category in 2013. It was an entry that everyone loved, and it was a near perfect example of an invitational event. Silver and bronze were much debated with BEcause and Yorkshire Tea edging out Sevens7 and Electrolux. The bronze winner thoroughly impressed as a fantastic event. The Cube was the event we all felt we wanted tickets to go to – fine dining with a spectacular view across Olympic London. A paid experience it was a shame that the entry underplayed the likely value brought to Electrolux, whose dazzling kitchen was put to such marvellous use. A day out on the Orient Express, celebrating tea and the start of the cricket season, as guests of Yorkshire Tea was another occasion that even a seasoned hack would be intrigued to attend, and so it proved as the brand turned on the style with the help of BEcause.

the San Telmo market in Buenos Aires , and, daringly for a trade and press event, it was a paid ticket event – that sold out 300 tickets in 24 hrs, ensuring a second night was consequently arranged (and sold out). It was a very focussed authentic occasion with many support suppliers from Argentina and street food, art, street slang and bohemian literature and modern Argentine music all featuring, alongside, of course, the wine. What stood out about the winning campaign? Over the promotional period and in the month following Cambalache, wine sales were up 13% in the UK vs a general increase of 0% for the wider wine industry. The agency delivered the whole event, online and off with both succeeding. A repeat event in New York is now in the pipeline What did the judges especially like about the entry? Tesco’s buyers visited on the first night and requested to return with the whole team on the second night. One week later they listed three additional wines - a massive coup for the client.

The winner produced a wine event called Cambalache that shunted wine tasting from a staid and predictable white tablecloth occasion to a steamy night in Argentina. It was bravely hosted at MC Motors in Dalston a crumbling backdrop in which to evoke the retro glamour of

in action.

The challenge for the trophy

In bronze was a work at the subtler end of the interruptive sphere – subtler in that the objectives of Blackjack’s work for Network Rail is a focussed desire to make travellers and shoppers have a better time rather than a one off occasion designed to make the news headlines. Their work, with a series of entertainers has been a genuine surprise and delight to so many otherwise mundane journeys and was delivered with the exactitude and professionalism that has made Blackjack such a force to be reckoned with.

A scoop for the US in this one with a unanimous decisions amongst our judges for an event that has created a landmark occasion on the calendar for any dedicated followers of fashion.

When Richard Murfitt helped judge these awards a few years ago he was between jobs, having left his job as head of brand strategy for O2 to take on a similar responsibility for a very different brand, the Internet take-away start up, Just Eat. At the time he pledged that he’d be back as an entrant with his new brand within a couple of years... Back then, it seemed unlikely. But then news blew in that a certain Mr Mozzarella had jetpacked into the Corby by-election for the Don’t Cook party. Brands2Life and Just Eat came to the FMBE table with a Drum experiential award already under their belts. It was no easy win here however, as silver winner Slice working with Mischief PR for Kelloggs was a work of antisampling genius, where customers exchanged social currency – tweets – for real snacks, a first of its kind and wonderfully effective in meeting and surpassing its objectives. As an agency, Slice has a great track record in delivering positive interruptions that make consumers pleased to see their teams

Kru Talent’s Vicki Robey presents the award to Just Eat

What stood out about the winning campaign? The creative concept: Choose a by-election. Change name to Mr Mozzarella by deed poll. Stand in the election looking ridiculous, embracing the loony fringe in order to enliven the main event, often outstrip the main event in the news coverage nationally whilst boosting the brand awareness locally. And make sure you jetpack into town. What did the judges especially like about the entry? The accountability. Beyond numerous press cuttings and clips and online coverage, and garnering actual votes in the election that nipped at the heels of the Lib Dem’s dismal result the entry noted: “Comparing order numbers pre and post-campaign, Just Eat sales statistics show that orders in Corby grew 25% and neighbouring Kettering grew 28%, compared to a national average growth of 14% in that same period. When comparing this growth in Corby and Kettering to towns with a similar size and order profile, we found that Dover, for example, increased by just 3% and Southall by just 2% in the same period, reinforcing just how commercially successful this activity had been.”

It was no shame to be winning silver or bronze in this category. Silver was a superb entry from growing agency Life Experience, who delivered a worldwide campaign from one site in Westfield Stratford during the Olympic and Paralympic Games period by facilitating messages from the shopping centre to families and friends using the simple internationally coherent strapline ‘Hello’. Winning bronze for CocaCola’s sports drink brand Powerade, Synergy’s campaign helped facilitate an amazing opportunity for brand fans, a chance to train and run in the Olympic stadium before the event itself in a campaign fronted by Jessica Ennis-Hill.

with the fashion world, rather than the literal fabric. In answer to this Jack Morton’s entry stated: “We turned the magic of Cotton’s product –its versatility- into an experiential innovation: the world’s only 24-hour runway show for the world’s only 24-hour fabric. The show featured cotton looks for every setting and every season. Not only did we capture the range of Cotton looks with a display of 70+ retailers, but we let America join in and showcase their own cotton style through the integrated digital “Road to the Runway” campaign: a nationwide photo competition.” What did the judges especially like about the entry?

What stood out about the winning campaign? The ambition. Cotton Incorporated, the brand that represents The Cotton Growers Association of America had a perception problem. It wanted to convince an audience of millennials that it was more than just the fabric in socks and sweats. So to change this perception, the brand wanted to align

It evidenced the outstanding success of everything that it set out to do, creating a landmark annual date in the world fashion calendar as a consequence. Cotton trended on the national level with 15,000 hashtagged tweets during the 2012 show - 1 every six seconds for the 24hr duration.

This was the closest 1-2 this year. Everything we could do on the day left the top two 50:50 split and we went to extra adjudicators to get a result.

During a tense battle the bronze winner impressed and remained favourite with one judge who loved the accountability it portrayed by demonstrating beauty products in shopping centres and connecting the shopper journey to Superdrug.

After a few slightly barren years, this year was the first in a while when 3 strong candidates emerged.

They were two very different campaigns, one full of immediate emotions and one harbouring the hopes and aspirations of its audience. Judges who loved expressions of joy, laughter and fist clenching celebrations sided with British Airways who encapsulated these emotions with immediate holiday wins and a bear pit of a playing area – participants in the flight sim game were cheered on by passing commuters at the station location. Judges who loved conversational marketing, careful targeting and the harnessing of desire loved East Village, a promotion that drove interest in an East London property development. The roadshow immersed with multiple engagement techniques and connected with a very attentive stand and display design that gave a genuine flavour of what life may be like in the development near to Westfield Stratford on a site that the public couldn’t see or

What stood out about the winning campaign? Independent research from 2CV rated staff at 89% against a benchmark of 86 per cent.

The passion for accountable creative and brand conversation was extremely well conveyed. Several different briefs and responses were outlined, each with testimonials. What did the judges especially like about the entry? Immediate and rapidly growing client confidence. The entry stated “In the first 8 months of our relationship April 2012 – December 2012 this client spent £276K.

GOLD Keith Duffel, Cosine, Sainsbury’s SILVER Andrew Porter, iD Instore, Nespresso BRONZE Danubia Sousa Whitelaw, Kru Live

GOLD Paula Woods, ODM, Sainsbury’s Bank SILVER Luc Funnell, infinite, Sony BRONZE Ben Davies, RMG, Nokia

The challenge for the trophy

As strong a line up as we have seen for 2-3 years in what is typically a popular category showed that agencies are focussing on staff retention and training more than ever. On the brand experience side of the divide Brazilian model appeal vied with two top sampler/demonstrators for the top honours. Danubia Sousa Whitelaw has been close to winning gold before and has clearly taken on more responsibility than ever. She combines her modelling talents with management and organisational expertise, and it is her unflagging buoyant energy that makes her such an asset to the brands who love her and agency Kru Live. In silver Andrew Porter has clearly grasped the ethos of iD Instore which is to channel experiential thinking into in store demonstration and convert that into shopper delight and sales. Video testimonial showed exactly how Andrew and the agency have made strides together. Much of the same could be said of winner Keith Duffel, except that his testimonials showed how he, a sampler working indirectly for Sainsbury’s, via agency Cosine, had come to the notice of CEO Justin King for the effect he brings to the store when he is at work in it. The win was a victory for career and life experience. Sampling at its best is a chance to converse with shoppers in

store and Keith has clearly made the very most of this. A good example of this was a recent campaign on Sainsburys Own Brand nappies - a challenging sell due to the high brand loyalty within this category. Keith researched the product and found useful comparisons of the nappies versus its competitors, but he also found offers and a support forum specifically for the Own Brand nappies, all of which he shared with his line manager. This information was then added to the brief and shared with the national team of over 165 ambassadors. As a result of this additional research, Keith was able to structure a compelling sales pitch and increase the sales by a huge 7,282% in his stores during the first week of activity. This compared to a national average uplift of 4,730%! What stood out about the winning entrant?

All of the top three came close to the win in a hard fought category notable for the way in which clients, retailers, agency managers and team colleagues rallied behind the candidates. In bronze, Ben Davies proved an exceptional trainer whose effect in store had very notable results, especially as a senior trainer in store at Phiones4U. In silver Luc Funnell impressed with outstanding sales but also as a young brand ambassador who was prepared to challenge his call file, working with one independent retailer to have them out back on his list because he believed, rightly, that they were a missed opportunity nearly ready to be a big success for Sony. His role is expanding. Luc now attends multiple events across Europe for Sony. Less can be said about gold winner Paula Woods whose entry is mostly confidential.

Keith has embraced every aspect of the job, working hard to support Sainsbury’s charities, leveraging learning for himself and colleagues and committing fully to being a sampler who sells. What did the judges especially like about the entry? A flood of statistics and testimonials from every corner of the Cosine and Sainsbury’s business, and from store shoppers. Together they showed why Keith can be as good as he is, operating from a great platform, and the additional work he then does to outperform other samplers.

2013 FM & BE AWARDS 23

What stood out about the winning entrant? One notable insight on Paula is that she put herself forward as a pioneer on Fieldstar’s 1st ever face to face marketing course from Fieldstar’s qualification with University of Derby Corporate. What did the judges especially like about the entry? As a team leader on ODM’s highly successful (and award-winning) Cards In Store programme, Paula has proved to be the best performer in a top sales team, and as well as achieving more new contracts than other teams working on Cards In Store, the team also have to meet stringent quality checks and are often mystery shopped. Its a challenging job delivered with precision, professionalism and performance by Paula and her colleagues.

GOLD Cosine, Unilever SILVER smp, Billy Boy BRONZE RMG, Boss Revolution

GOLD TRO, Lucozade Energy SILVER TRO, Lucozade Revive BRONZE Multiply, The Macallan

The challenge for the trophy

A busy category that threw up a really interesting top 3 that together show the power of FMBE techniques even when put under the microscope of low budget and local data.

Unilver Compressed in store In bronze RMG showed that Boss Revolution, a totally unheralded brand, a new 2011 challenger in the competitive UK International calling market, could still use face to face techniques to make market headway. To do so they used 4 chinese and 4 south american brand ambassadors to target retailers and shoppers in communities where the brand could gain leverage. South America was an especially big success, showing a 12 times increase in minutes called and with stores committed to Boss Revolution rising from 0 to 41. There were multiple achievements with long term implications all delivered on a £40K budget. In silver smp showed enormous prowess

in delivering a four event comedy roadshow for condom manufacturer Billy Boy at universities and engaged in further sampling activity at 6 more – all on a low budget (£ not for publication, unfortunately). Winning gold with a low budget entry for Unilever was quite a head turner from Cosine who helped establish Unilever’s range of compressed deodorants in Sainsbury’s by using sampling staff enabled to talk shoppers through the product using specially designed tablets to playback a video alongside support plasma screens. What stood out about the winning campaign? Creativity in a small space brought the ATL message direct to shoppers, on a low budget, with the expectation of establishing a new product choice effecting a raft of the best known brands in the sector. What did the judges especially like about the entry? Results such as: n The conversion rate from demonstration to purchase was 4 times the category average, with a 27% conversion against average of 7% for the health and beauty category.

This was a tale of woe – unless you were TRO. Well, not entirely if you were Multiply whose defence of last year’s win in this category saw a valiant bronze with whisky brand The Macallan for which they created a two stage sampling stand including an inner sanctum with masterclasses for the most enthusiastic.

Route 1 – Brand Ambassadors delivered 350,000 samples over a three-month period to offices across the UK that had been selected by TRO. Route 2 – 150,000 samples were delivered to hand-raising ‘Office Heroes’ who responded to banner advertising / social word-of-mouth to win a case of Lucozade Revive for their office. Both routes generated high response via competition entry. For Lucozade Energy, further investment in festivals proved that the creative that connected with festival-goers throughout the day – from tent delivery at dawn through to late night silent discos, had moved up a level with brand recognition growing and Facebook responses glowing.

TRO actually managed three shortlistings, a great feat in this category which sees many strong campaigns fail to make the shortlist. Even for TRO it was all plain sailing as Event Magazine’s Experiential winner, TRO and Guinness failed to reach the same heights after shortlisting here. The Guinness campaign impressed our judges too – at first – but fell away when scrutinised closely against the category criteria here. Winning silver, TRO’s work for Lucozade Revive set out to reach a group the brand defined as 25-35 year old ‘energy drink rejecters’ - they were looking to reach a new type of consumer for Lucozade. This group was reached by taking two routes:

What stood out about the winning campaign? A video perfectly captured the comprehensive way in which Lucozade added top the festival experience with real intelligence and fun. What did the judges especially like about the entry? The welcome moment and the morning delivery impressed. “Lucozade has broken the festival day up into moments of exhilaration” one judge commented “whilst being there at the start and finish to welcome and say goodbye.”

n Incremental sales percentage uplift was 96%, double the sales achieved in control group stores where no sampling took place.

A busy category that threw up a really interesting top 3 that together show the power of FMBE techniques even when put under the microscope of low budget and local data.

Unilever Compressed in store In bronze RMG showed that Boss Revolution, a totally unheralded brand, a new 2011 challenger in the competitive UK International calling market, could still use face to face techniques to make market headway. To do so they used 4 chinese and 4 south american brand ambassadors to target retailers and shoppers in communities where the brand could gain leverage. South America was an especially big success, showing a 12 times increase in minutes called and with stores committed to Boss Revolution rising from 0 to 41.

GOLD smp, Andrex Eco SILVER Experience Worldwide, BlackBerry Z10 BRONZE Jack Morton Worldwide, Wella Color.id

The challenge for the trophy

The winner was a slow reveal and the first relaunch ever to win this category. The silver and bronze winners were on behalf of well-known new products, both being launched into competitive markets. Winning bronze, REL and Carling showed the success of an in store campaign that was logistically impressive and showed a fighting determination to make the brand succeed. The silver winner landed – and delivered in – quite an inspiring brief as it relied on the agency delivering in stores and with retail training and also at brand experience events including the Champion’s League Final. The challenge for HTC has been all the greater in the smartphone market given the 2012-13 dominance of Apple and Samsung in the market. For the winner there was no such glamour, no fanfare events, but a problem to solve. With over 300,000 lost or stolen phones in 2012 and expensive smartphone repairs, phone insurance is a big and competitive market but it suffers low consumer trust. As a network Telefonica O2 UK has a responsibility to make sure its customer are given the opportunity to protect their investment in their handset from loss,

theft or damage. It is therefore important to them that employees are educated to allow customers to make an informed decision as to whether or not they should insure their mobile device. The O2 Mobile Insurance Training Strategy was the name for the relaunch programme to address issues including a number of cancelled policies that the brand deemed to be too many. After 2300 employees were trained, confidence in talking about the product was restored, cancellations decreased and sales increased. What stood out about the winning campaign? Agency ASP’s relationship with Telefonica O2 seemed so close that the activity came across an an internal action rather than outsourced. What did the judges especially like about the entry? 85% of employees described their confidence level prior to the training as low or average. 88% of employees described their confidence level following the training as confident or highly confident. ROI, often a challenging statistic to provide for a retail training campaign, was calculated at 1171%

Another keen contest with a high number of entries. In bronze Jack Morton showed what is probably the most immersive event in our sector 2013 – its invitational offbeat series of colour workshops for a small handpicked group of professional hair stylists required total commitment from attendees. The Deconstruction Project events were tailored “to break down habitual behaviours and unlock true creativity”. Stylists were “subjected to a series of activities designed to break them down and neutralize them, making them ready to relearn.” before later activities unlocked their Color id. It was in depth stuff, but our judges preferred the sheer accountability of the leading two case studies. The silver winner showed comprehensive shopper understanding and drove front of mind recall as well as sales.

The gold winner though benefited from great brand partnership with a mould-breaking product for Andrex that proved to be an outstanding success for a product that really connected with shoppers. Smp planned shopping centres near to stores and refined selection using shopper psychology analysis, The events created a buzz, combining a core creative concept, ‘Get Bamboozling, with the ever popular Andrex puppy appearances and simple family experiences such as face painting. What stood out about the winning campaign? The bamboo and softness message was evoked right through the creative including the build materials, look and feel of the brand experience stand. What did the judges especially like about the entry? Results data, sadly provided confidentially, proved a fabulous ROI from the campaign and take up of the product in a very high percentage of UK households.

the Olympics. A core element of the campaign saw Twitter and Facebook trends being analysed to see how upbeat the nation was before and through the Olympic period, projecting the result of this analysis as a light show on the London Eye. So why didn’t it win? In an ‘only at FMBE’ moment it came up against a campaign that is entirely focussed on innovation and had already bagged a Cyber Gold Lion from the Cannes jury. Hello Again, the launch campaign for the new Lincoln MKZ motor car was an event put on by agencies in collaboration including a ‘make it happen’ team from boutique London agency Soho Events.

Hello Again brought invitees to a special intimate live Beck performance which put the audience in control of the staging, sound and vision in a circular structure with a rotating stage and enabled the online audience Richard Isom, to control how they viewed the Trinity Leeds, launch using webcams to shift presents the award their viewing perspective. In field marketing terms, the use of crowdsourcing smartphone app Field Agent, to deliver a merchandising and compliance campaign had not been seen before. Spot display compliance checks had been seen, but fuller and more detailed campaigns hadn’t. Ambient and Tesco also delivered a unique first with their virtual store at Gatwick airport. The store allowed orders to be placed via screen and smartphone so that shoppers could have a fresh delivery on their return home to the UK. The initiative was a stunning PR success for Tesco.

Sponsor: Trinity Leeds

At the heart of the success was a performer renowned for his innovation and his unique interpretation of David Bowie’s Sound and Vision. What stood out about the winning campaign? Soho Events used several clever personalisation techniques so that ‘Hello Again’ could keep greeting and enabling guests to participate in the event on a one to one basis, in turn stimulating interaction between guests and a bigger concept of sharing a unique occasion.

The shortlist was a great justification for the category. FM&BE agencies are often exceptional at logistics, negotiation and fast reacting to a live campaign. Each of the three award winners showed a different aspect of FM&BE organisational skills. The bronze winner demonstrated premier quality display installation for McCormick’s, the owners of spice brand Schwartz. Momentum Instore installed a massive 508,716 parts into 2,001 Tesco stores; this included building a huge 160,499 units , 573 goal posts, 321 horizontal wooden panels, 573 headers for goal posts, 160,499 lock back clips, 25,752 small wedge retainers and 160,499 pieces of POS within a short turnaround. Whilst installing units is Momentum’s daily task, providing samplers for a televised competition filmed in M&S stores at short notice was outside the norm for agency Powerforce. The story of the red alert snow day set for the filming that followed and the collecting and collating votes from 1000 shoppers in ten stores nationwide with a total unwavering commitment to a fair result was very compelling for our judges. But it was the sheer bloody mindedness of new agency psLIVE when negotiating a bizarre PR stunt that became our judges favourite. as they finally ground English Heritage into submission. psLIVE cooked up an idea to launch

20th Century Fox film The Croods with a promotion whereby the stony Croods logo would be erected during the Spring solstice at UNESCO World Heritage site Stonehenge. psLIVE’s refusal to take no for an answer was impressive in that they clearly had such strong belief in the creative idea that it just had to happen. To make permission even less likely, their proposal was to help drive up both the experience and the PR coverage with the use of 400 scouts to help raise The Croods’ standing stones. Somehow reasoning and negotiating to counter English Heritage’s objections together with smoothing the waters with Druids finally brought about a decision to allow the activity.

The challenge for the trophy

This was a hard category to judge and markedly different from last year when the entries were meeting very varied briefs. These finalists were mostly about the numbers they delivered during the campaign – and the challenge for our judges was to decide how much influence stand design and display had helped deliver those results. The bronze winner was the highly effective campaign that stood out for gold in product launch (page 26) In silver were two entries where it was clear that the stand or display was clearly enabling results. For Cake and EE the stand was critical to campaign ambitions to underline EE’s IT leading credentials and to impress locally. It was a digital box that offered up localised content and interacted directly with shoppers. The tour took the benefits of 4G to over 100,000 people who passed through the installation and footfall to EE stores local to the tour increased by 50% on average. For Circle the category helped celebrate an unsung heroic workhorse of EA’s promotions, its pods, wheeled flight case gaming demo units that can be up and functioning in 5 minutes. The pods have been used at 172 events, attracting over 95,000 consumer demos to date.

In gold, the winning stand fronted and facilitated a campaign that really totted up the shopper interactions. The ‘Ryvita Kitchen’, a 6x6m indoor stand was designed to attract a universal audience. It was designed as a platform to sample products to shoppers specific to that time of day, exposing them to other usage occasions for Ryvita outside of the lunch hour as well as new products. A hidden kitchen at the centre of the stand ensured mass samples were being created so that crowds could be sampled from the kitchen. The 360 design created visual cues from all angles whilst creating space for storage for four days of consecutive sampling. What stood out about the winning campaign? It was independently assessed by Millward Brown What did the judges especially like about the entry? Evidence of a mass sampling campaign trying to make every bite count as an engagement whilst keeping the signs of industry and scale – preparation, storage, product delivery – as minimal as possible. The professional look also helped sell goodie bags as well as sample. Sales of goodie bags raised a helpful £13030 in revenue, a figure that also points towards brand fan commitment.

Team of the Year is a category for heavy hitters and it was popular with big FM teams once again. The bronze winning team helped underline the success of the agency and brand combination who had already won the Perfect Service Award (page 13). There were two silvers, marking the high standard set. Both continue a fine track record in the team category for the respective agencies. From infinite and Sony Mobile we saw a team who activate the brand in a huge number of environments: n n n n n n

Praise rained in on the team from many key partners and the entry also showed fantastic results. For REL and Molson Coors we saw a rapidly transformed team of upbeat negotiators, following an account win. The transformation was driven by data and insight combined with instillation of a new passion for work. The entry stood out for its clear presentation of data, a look in on Yammer, the team social media function used by REL, and finally an extraordinary video intro to the team

played out in camped up mime to ‘Call Me Maybe?’. It is fair to say our judges have never seen anything like it before and will be on tenterhooks to see what the team might try in 2014. An exceptional entry from RMG and LG showed how their team ethos didn’t just work closely with the client, but included it. Occasionally in FMBE we get a feeling from an entry of the journey the agency and client have been through together and come out bonded. This honest entry saw a number of exceptional landmark sales achievements, but the team was also strong enough to confess to a missed target along the way and still come out with steadfast client support for the results. What stood out about the winning campaign? LG and RMG’s team video showed the team in action in store, interviewed a Currys store manager who found their support invaluable, and provided a client testimonial that did more than praise the agency for immediate results, it acknowledged the agency-brand progressive understanding and ROI optimisation. What did the judges especially like about the entry? The teams Home Entertainment demonstrators were allowed – by 10 Currys and 1 John Lewis store - to train in the stores themselves.

GOLD The Yes Agency, The Health Lottery SILVER Ted, Rocksmith SILVER Kru Live, Nivea BRONZE Kreate Live, Stella Artois The challenge for the trophy This was a classic challenge for our judges – there are inevitably staff performances entered where every action is accountable and those where performances are measured by that special something the right person can do to leave a smile on an event participants face. The bronze winner has a bit of performance art and quite a lot of accountability as Kreate’s teams set out to train barmen at a large number of bars in the perfect serve for Stella Artois using a surprising roleplay as an actress and photographer. Kreate selected 29 performing teams to deliver the work. The success of the work was accounted for with mystery shopper reports and sales uplift at the bars. Kru Live’s brief was much more about the emotional connection. In Dare to Dip, Kru stated “We were tasked to encourage the Nivea dippers to own the dreaded first swimsuit reveal by approaching it together,

with some Nivea care.” The Kru team had to ‘ooze sisterhood’ a quality that it is not easy to quantify in award terms, although video from the activity helped a lot.
