Food waste is something people have been living with for a long time. Most might have overlooked it, though. The idea of the “Replate Waste” campaign was assembling a digital mechanism that transformed a general “infamous” individual deed (generating food waste basically almost every time you eat) into the inspiration for a creative process and, ultimately, a good deed. We turned to digital to make people part of a change: awareness on a global issue, on one hand, and support for a social cause, on the other.

In 2017, Raiffeisen Bank conducted an „inside out” research process to identify its strengths and weekness’, seeking to uncover existing truths about the bank which could be amplified. Most of the employees and its clients perceived the bank as an organization where `you do things properly`.

Personal cars in Romania represent over 80% of passenger traffic and electric vehicles are still less than 1% of the total number of cars in Bucharest – there are still important limitations when it comes to the high costs of these cars as well as the fast charging infrastructure available – as a result, extremely few people have access to such cars. We saw that as an opportunity to launch Uber Green in Romania, a fully electric ridesharing service, first as a pilot that would then be developed in partnership with authorities and carmakers. Sharing the road to a greener future.

For the launch of new Lenor range, Inspired by Nature, we used a mix of media event, influencer communication and consumer activations, but what we did differently was we built the entire campaign around an established fashion event.

GDPR got almost everybody scared, as it brought up a lot of new & sensitive information that needed to be 100% in place in a clear, non-negotiable deadline: 25th OF MAY. For a company like Coca-Cola HBC Romania, with over 1600 employees around the country and multiple internal processes involving direct-work with personal data, the consequences in case of GDPR non-compliance could’ve seriously impact the overall business. So when everybody seemed to be already an expert on the subject, we’ve decided to start simple, with the basics, from the core of what represents us best: OUR PEOPLE, the gatekeepers of always doing what’s right, not necessarily what’s easier.

The cultural context for women is one of struggle, being surrounded by a lot of pressure. They are preached to with messages disguised as help – “lean forward”, “you can have it all”, “focus on one thing.” But these messages don’t empower women – they generalize what a woman should aspire to, thereby denying her the power to decide for herself.

Young people are the faces of the future, but communicating with a young audience is never easy – especially when it’s summer and the only thing that’s on their minds is having fun. So we needed to speak their language, use their tools, get their heroes on board and, most importantly, take the battle on their turf. While some considered their age an issue when it comes to taking responsibility, we actually saw it as a great opportunity to grow their genuine activist mindset towards greater common causes, like the care for communities or for the environment.
