SINGAPORE — Top winners for this year’s Spikes Asia Festival of Creativity have finally been awarded. The campaigns and agencies recognized tonight reflect the renewed interest in rising influences and power in Asia, highlighting the region’s ingenious and innovative strategies in marketing and advertising.

Brand & Experience Activation Spikes Grand Prix Winner — “The Open Door Project” for The Millennium School by FCB India

Access to education is still a problem that India is dealing with as reports show one-third of the Indian youth don’t go to schools. The Millennium School, an NGO primarily comprised of volunteer teachers and partnered with several other organizations, has asked schools to keep their doors open after regular school hours so that street children can come in and learn. The campaign was created to promote this advocacy, introducing it with a film and eventually convincing more schools to open up their school doors for others.

Winning Gold Spikes, meanwhile, are the following:

  • “The Quiet Taxi” for Hyundai Motor Group by INNOCEAN Worldwide Seoul
  • “Uber Eats Australian Ambush” for Uber by SPECIAL GROUP Sydney
  • “Postable Fukushima Local Paper” for Fukushima MINPO Co., by Dentsu Inc., Tokyo
  • “ANZ Signs of Love” for ANZ Bank Australia by TBWA\Melbourne

Creative Effectiveness Spikes Grand Prix Winner — “Project Free Period” for Johnson & Johnson by DDB Mudra

In India, Project Free Period was Johnson & Johnson’s Stay Free’s tool to help empower female sex workers who are forced to work everyday, and only have free time when their menstrual cycles begin. In a month, these women are only able to rest for three days when they are unable to work, which the brand then saw as an opportunity to teach them a new trade. The campaign’s advocacy has been seen by Spikes Asia jury members as not only effective in reaching out to the public but also ignite change.

Design Spikes Grand Prix Winner — “Signs of Love” for ANZ Bank Australia by Revolver/Will O’Rourke and TBWA\Melbourne

Oxford Street in Sydney, Australia, is known as the “Gay Golden Mile”, and is where Australia’s Mardis Gras parade is held and primarily hosted by the country’s local LGBTQ community. What ANZ Bank Australia realized together with TBWA\Melbourne is that there are multiple Oxford streets across Australia (123 to be exact), which they turned into satellite venues for Mardis Gras celebrations, giving LGBTQ members to join in the festivities without having to fly to Sydney. The campaign’s drive and design is what made it worthy of a grand prix win in this category.

Entertainment Spikes Grand Prix Winner — “The Translator” for Julie’s by Govt Singapore

“The Translator” tells the story of a man who helps other people communicate with each other for a living and yet is unable to socialize outside of his work. His latest work as a translator for a biscuit commercial changes his life — resulting in him facing what makes us truly human: the need to love and be loved. Longer than the usual ads, “The Translator” proved that despite the demand for “snackable” content in China, a 15 minute short film can still grab the attention and impart a message to its viewers. The campaign winning a Grand Prix for the Entertainment Spikes category is proof of that. 

 

The following campaigns that won Gold for the Entertainment Spikes category are as follows: 

  • “One in a Million” for P&G Vicks by Publicis Singapore 
  • “Voice of Hunger” for Swiggy by Dentsu Webchutney, Bangalore 
  • “Code Name: URI” for Trigger Happy by Dentsu Webchutney, Mumbai
