Commenting on Spikes Asia, Terry Savage, Chairman of Lions Festivals says, “It’s a really exciting time for Spikes Asia, not only because of its extended duration, but also because there are a host of new initiatives that put the spotlight on talent and training as well as new entry categories that reflect the direction of the industry in APAC. It is without doubt the must-attend event for the region’s industry.”

Two new entry categories are being introduced at Spikes Asia this year. The Innovation Category, which will award breakthrough technology and innovation, and a Healthcare Category which will honour the brave and innovative communications ideas that have overcome the unique challenges faced by healthcare brands, and succeeded – through creativity – in generating value and changing lives. Additions to the academy programme are also planned which will see increased learning opportunities across a broader spectrum of the industry.

Review of Famous Company Logos: How The Big Business Uses The Emotional Power of Logos

March 24, 2014 Anubis Leave a comment

Submitted by Alex Hillsberg and Chris Sibbet

Golden arches. Swoosh. Mouse ears. You know what they mean. Some logos are so powerful that they don’t need to spell out their names, or that they transcend cultural borders. How can these simple, trivial little artworks inspire global familiarity with so many of them having become iconic? Because they’re not trivial or simple.

Iconic logos are masters of subtleties and understatements. In the infographic below, we learn that logos carry sublime color meanings. Do you ever wonder why some logos are bright yellow and some red? Why luxury brands are usually black, white, or brown, while corporate logos are blue?

We know it’s not set in stone, but colors can evoke a specific emotional response from us. Red means active, yellow is energetic, blue is reliable, green is nature, etc. In fact, it doesn’t stop at the obvious; researchers at the University of Rochester in New York believe red can actually “keep us from performing our best on tests.”

Moreover, logos may already be playing with your subconscious at a much earlier stage of your life. Researchers at the University of Amsterdam found that children 2-3 years old could already recall a logo and the product it represents in 67% of cases.

Logos also create value. Interbrand’s 14th Best Global Brand reported that there’s a new number one brand in the world last year: Apple. Coke was defeated for the first time after thirteen consecutive years of dominating the prestigious list.

Many companies will stop at nothing to create the perfect logo. Even to the tune of millions of dollars as part of their branding. The new Pepsi logo was so expensive to create that the agency thought it should justify the million-dollar cost with a lecture on Da Vinci diagrams, yin-yangs, and Mobius strips. On the other end, some popular logos like Twitter and Google cost almost next to nothing!

It’s an interesting world of logos we have here. Far from puny, arbitrary doodles, they are calculated, big business strategy with one thing in mind: that you remember them in your sleep.

WINNER OF THE DUBAI LYNX 7-DAY BRIEF REVEALED

March 12, 2014 Anubis Leave a comment

12 March 2014 – The winner of the 2014 7-Day Brief, powered by YouTube, has today been announced at a dedicated press conference which has taken place during the Dubai Lynx International Festival of Creativity.

Answering to a brief set by the international organisation UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) participants had just seven days to make a 30-60 second film commercial, in English or Arabic and upload the film to YouTube for public viewing. The aim of the commercial is to raise awareness for UNHCR and to encourage those living in the GCC and MENA countries to make a monthly donation of $US100 to help Syrian refugee families receive the life-saving support they desperately need.

Philip Thomas, CEO of Lions Festivals; Tarek Abdalla, Head of Marketing for Google in MENA; The UNHCR Regional Representative to the GCC Countries, Mr Imran Riza; and jury president Bechara Mouzannar; were all present to announce that the winner of this year’s 7-Day Brief was Mohammad Jabri, resident in Saudi Arabia, for his entry ‘(I envy you!)’,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Vz5NiBRJOA.

Mohammad Jabri said that he is, “honoured and privileged to be bestowed with this award. Being a Syrian, this competition meant a lot for me as it gave me the opportunity to contribute in helping my beloved Syrian refugee families. The thought of how these refugees have been waiting for over 50Mn seconds or 2 years for this misery to end led me to think in this direction. And at the same time I challenged myself to relate their sorry state of affairs through an idea that drives the audiences to act. Hopefully, this ad will not just be a message viewers who would want to skip, rather something that results in creating a real-life ‘skip-button’ for the affectees.”

Due to the high standard of entries, the jury also decided to award two further submissions as highly commended. Sri A, resident in the UAE, was awarded second place for his entry, ‘Ever After’: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i04Ipv4jN-A,
and Naval Paradkar, resident in the UAE, was given third place for his entry, ‘SkipNow’:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1l_bqy5FN0.

Speaking about the competition, jury president, Bechara Mouzannar, Chief Creative Officer of Leo Burnett MENA, says, “Some of the best pieces were done by, probably young, ad people that are not necessarily labelled as ‘creative’ but happy to become professionals at day, amateurs at night, for 7 consecutive nights and for a good cause. The crafting, storytelling and thinking behind the three top pieces should be acknowledged, particularly in the winning piece of work where the execution is simple well-crafted and perfectly rooted in social conversation.”

As part of the winner’s prize, Mohammad Jabri was given the chance to recut his winning commercial with professional production facilities provided by The Collective. The recut ad is now available to view at http://www.youtube.com/user/officialdubailynx.

Tarek Abdalla, Head of Marketing for Google in the MENA region said, “This contest sought out a creative individual who would be able to shine light on this important cause using the power of video. The winning submission by Mohammad Jabri demonstrated that videos transcend language and cultural barriers by presenting a cause that can plead and touch all viewers. With a platform like YouTube, the world will now be able to see their work and raise awareness for this important cause.”

Further details on the 7-Day Brief, including the brief and information on the jury, can be found athttp://www.dubailynx.com/talent_training/youtube/. The Dubai Lynx International Festival of Creativity opened its doors to delegates on Sunday and has provided three days of inspiration for MENA’s creative communications industry. Mohammad Jabri will be presented with his award on stage at tonight’s much anticipated Awards Ceremony and Dinner which will reveal the all of the 2014 winners.

FUTURE LEADERS OF MARKETING, DIGITAL LAB,THINK TANK, LYNX ACADEMY

25 February 2014 – The Dubai Lynx International Festival of Creativity is investing in all levels of industry talent with four academies that are set to happen at this year’s Festival which takes place from 9 – 12 March at the Madinat Jumeirah in Dubai.

Dubai Lynx Digital Lab powered by TBWA\RAAD DAN
The Dubai Lynx Digital Lab powered by TBWA\RAAD DAN, is a learning programme dedicated to digital enthusiasts from client organisations as well as creative agencies with three years + experience who want to better their knowledge about using digital for creative communications. This year, TBWA\RAAD DAN has partnered with highly acclaimed Hyper Island. With a focus on mobile, Hyper Island will provide a tailored version of their internationally celebrated Master Class which will be delivered over the three days. Participants will experience a fast-paced series of presentations and collaborative workshops led by DAN and Hyper Island.

“We are working with world class partners to bring something new and disruptive to Dubai Lynx. Hyper Island has been dubbed the digital Harvard by our global team and we are genuinely excited to work with these guys and bring a whole new dimension to the LAB this year. We want participants to experience less of a ‘LAB’ and more an introduction to a new way of thinking.”
Reda Raad, COO TBWA\RAAD

“We are all about collaboration and jumped at the opportunity to work with TBWA\RAAD DAN. Participants will not only understand the power of the mobile revolution, they will also identify needs and create prototypes for new mobile solutions. They will explore new business opportunities built on the knowledge about mobile behaviour, which often challenges the way marketing and communication is executed in traditional media.”
Per Vidar Lundberg, Global Director of Executive Education, Hyper Island

Future Leaders of Marketing powered by Starcom MediaVest Group
Aimed at rising young marketers and brand managers, aged 30 years and under, the Future Leaders of Marketing, is a programme that focuses on the biggest challenges that young marketers and their brands are facing today.

Laura Krajecki, Chief Consumer Officer and EVP, Global Director Human Experience Strategy at Starcom MediaVest will tutor the academy.

“We are honoured to be partnering with the Dubai Lynx International Festival of Creativity for the second consecutive year to nurture the next-generation of marketing pioneers. At SMG, we have long believed in the power of marketing excellence; over the years, our commitment to creating cutting-edge content for our clients has cemented our reputation as an industry leader. Our sponsorship of the Future Leaders of Marketing programme further supports our vision to ‘make next now’ and invest in empowering the leaders of tomorrow, today”
Nisha Primlani-Pugnet, Regional Director, Marketing & Communications, VivaKi

Focused at a senior level, the Think Tank will help clients to better understand creativity and ensure that client strategies remain effective in today’s constantly evolving business environment. Twenty participants will have the opportunity to attend selected seminars and enjoy exclusive sessions with internationally-acclaimed speakers that so far include Jaime Rosado, VP Regional Creative Director of JWT Puerto Rico and John O’Keeffe, Worldwide Creative Director of WPP Global. Juan Senor, Partner at Innovation Media Consulting Group, will moderate the Think Tank which takes place across 10 & 11 March.

“Attending the Think Tank was time really well spent, hearing new ideas and approaches to issues, at times presented with a refreshing candor.”
Chris Galanto, Senior Vice President (Advertising), Emirates

Lynx Academy in partnership with Leo Burnett
The Lynx Academy offers an exclusive learning opportunity to a group of carefully selected students. The Academy students not only benefit from the festival content but also personalised sessions, tutorials and workshops from top industry figures giving them firsthand access to expert knowledge and experience. Confirmed speakers already include Karl Salibi, Executive Regional Strategic Planning Director at Leo Burnett MENA and Leila Khauli Hanna, Marketing Management Instructor, Olayan School of Business, American University of Beirut. Students will leave with an increased knowledge of the advertising and communications sectors armed with the skills they need to embark on their careers.

“It’s essential for young talent to gain insight into our dynamic industry, in preparation for their future careers. Through the Dubai Lynx Academy we have mentored 107 promising communicators, who have experienced advertising across the board with our team. They represent the advertising industry of tomorrow, and their training now will help them to develop into robust individuals capable of connecting people and their behaviour with the human purpose of a brand.”
