Jell-O 3D Jiggle Billboards

CONCEPT This fun and creative national OOH campaign would include several location relevant billboards featuring contextual 3D Jell-O shapes such as: • A Jellyfish near Ripley's Aquarium • A Sailboat near a Vancouver Waterfront • A Sword & Shield near Medieval Times • A Cowboy Hat near The Calgary Stampede • A Racecar at The Honda Indy EXECUTION The Jell-O shapes would be constructed out of transparent HD vinyl over a metal frame. This would allow the shapes to 'jiggle' in the wind.

Jigglerizer

Add a little jiggle to your day. People don't just eat JELL-O for the taste; they eat it because it's fun. To communicate fun, we let passersby play with digital JELL-O cubes on interactive bus shelter screens. 1. User goes to jigglethejello.com on his smartphone (location detected) 2. User chooses a colour and object 3. Cube starts jiggling and transforms into desired object (thousands of possibilities pre-programmed) Not only are people playing with the brand outside the home, but they're also reminded of why they should buy JELL-O: the endless creative possibilities for fun.

WHERE YOU GONNA POUR IT?

We often think of JELL-O in its final state, but the real moment of possibility is while it's still liquid. You can use your own creativity and pour JELL-O into anything. Imagination is about seeing familiar things with new eyes. This campaign includes billboards, posters, TSAs and site-specific installations. We continue to encourage the idea by suggesting that, with a little imagination, big stuff could be filled with JELL-O too. We create site-specific installations where we'd find Mom and her kids. For example, a chalk drawing by the skate park bowl.

The Make FUN of Anything campaign reinvigorates the JELLO brand with innovative and singular tact. The initial O.O.H. execution visually renders everyday chores, tasks, or dry and boring information in JELLO, making the mundane amazing. This is also a call to action to check out a local JELLO Shake-Up-Shop. Here visitors can Make FUN of Anything with personalized JELLO molds created using 3D rendering and 3D printing. This is a modern twist on FUN that no other brand has and JELLO can differentiate itself from all other snack brands by delivering the most innovative fun in the world.

Meat Messages

Bull's-Eye's flavour isn't the only thing that's bold. With the Meat Messages app, people can submit personalized messages to create real, custom mini-grills that they receive by mail. When placed on their barbeques at home, these mini-grills brand people's meat with the messages. This lets people be just as bold as Bull's-Eye BBQ Sauce, while adding a little flavour of their own to their meat.

Couch Cowboy

Not enough guys outside of Western Canada know that Bull's-Eye sticks to meat better than any other BBQ sauce. So we're going to use our existing partnership with the Calgary Stampede and create a mobile game that integrates with the national CBC broadcasts of the bull-riding event. Guys can pick a cowboy through a web app and then tune in to the live event on CBC. The longer your cowboy "sticks" to his bull, the more Bull's-Eye BBQ Sauce you win. A fun, engaging way to highlight Bull's-Eye benefit of "sticking to meat".

Restaurant by Pledge Serves Food Off the Floor. How do we get moms to care that Pledge FloorCare Wood Squirt & Mop cleans their dusty hardwood floors to sparkly perfection? We open a pop-up restaurant branded 'Floore' and offer a free tasting menu from one of Toronto's top chefs. The catch? When people get there, they'll find out that they must eat the delicious food off the floor. NO PLATES ALLOWED. This idea is inherently social, and will spread on and offline. Floored will be amplified through a social video, capturing people's reactions.

The site then reveals this character on a digital plaque. The first 3000 users to share the plaque on their social channel will receive the laser-etched plaque in real life.

We take the iconic Sharpe Centre for Design building, shrink it down and put it on 18 wheels. Inside, we'll feature a makeshift classroom with a large screen, where instructors can remotely teach classes. We'll tour this mini OCAD all across the country, setting up shop in communities for a whole day, offering indructory courses from esteemed proffesors. Through this, we hope to familiarize prospective students with our school, our faculty and hopefully show them that a fullflling career in art and design is through that big white, black-checkered box.

Ads That Prospective Students Cant Read

Indigenous youth respect the opinion of their elders more than anyone. By creating a campaign that persuades the elders of the Indigenous community to explore OCAD's Indigenous program, we will in turn persuade the youth. Today, elders are typically the only remaining community members who are fluent in the native languages, something that has elders worried for their culture's future. By creating ads in native languages that only the elders can understand, we're highlighting the need for culture preservation - something that the Indigenous program can help provide through creative and financially viable career opportunities.

Their canvas must incorporate any kind of paper bill (credit card, hydro, phone) that they've paid off using their income as artists. The alumni will apply their own creative discipline to their bill. The bills will be displayed at the PASSION PAYS ART EXHIBIT, held on a Native Reserve. Prospective students will be invited to attend or explore the artwork and alumni’s stories in Google Open Gallery.

To reach prospective young Indigenous students who might be interested in honing their art and design skills, we'd use an iconic Toronto landmark OCAD U itself. First we would reach out to Indigenous highschools across the country with a contest to design OCAD U's very own totem pole. The winning student would get a free one-year scholarship, and their design would be crafted and installed over one of the iconic OCAD U 'pencil pillars' by the school entrance. A permanent reminder not only of the new program, but of Canada's own art history.
