#MyHeroes: International 北京赛车pk10 to Celebrate Key Workers During the Pandemic
When lockdown came into force in the UK, the out-of-home industry was the hardest hit ad channel, prompting the sector to change from an advertising channel into a social channel for good.
The aim was to bring people鈥檚 voices out of their homes across the UK - while people couldn鈥檛 go out and express their gratitude for frontline workers, OOH would do the talking for them. Media owners came on board and the campaign went live in a week.
The creative celebrated the selfless people in our lives - those everyday heroes who, until the pandemic hit, were perhaps taken for granted. It was about putting a face to the people behind the institutions - to tell their story and celebrate them as individuals by lighting up the United Kingdom and Ireland with their faces. People were invited to tweet and nominate heroes and workers with their unique stories, which were then published.
As the people thanking their heroes were mostly unable to leave home to see their faces light up the screens, OOH was linked to social media in a reactive and dynamic way, via a bespoke content management system that was integrated with Twitter.
Judges commended the collaborative efforts and said the campaign drove meaningful messages to individuals to whom it meant the most.

Channel 4
40 different brands and 20 different agencies
#ClapForOurCarers
Channel 4 wanted to show its support for the #ClapForOurCarers initiative, giving it the national credibility and reach it deserved. It worked with over 40 clients, 20 media agencies and one production partner to produce an ad break celebrating frontline workers - all within 48 hours and in the midst of a global pandemic.
Brands taking part had to film their own employees across the country and deliver the footage to a tight set of production deadlines. 4Sales, the ad sales arm of Channel 4, worked on legal and compliance while production partner Sassy Films made the ad. The initiative succeeded in pulling the advertising industry together to celebrate the achievements of front-line workers.
