Colenso BBDO + MediaCom Win Bronze for 'The Most Prosperous ATM' at WARC Media Awards
Colenso BBDO and MediaCom NZ have scored a
Bronze Award and the Platform Pioneer Award for Bank of New Zealand's
'The Most Prosperous ATM' campaign in the Effective Use of Tech category
of the 2018 WARC Media Awards, in which a modified ATM was used, backed
by a multimedia
strategy, to transform the Chinese New Year experience and attract
Chinese customers in New Zealand.
The campaign attracted close to 2.5 billion earned impressions, built recognition for the NSC and more than one million Americans put the labels on their insurance cards.
Says Ben Sutherland, chief digital officer, Diageo, who was on the jury for the 2018 WARC Media Awards' Effective Use of Tech category, commented on the Grand Prix winner: "The way they used the tech to demonstrate the mortality rate was really good. It was an incredibly emotive area and also very impactful -- it's everything I'd like my teams to be creating."
A Silver and the Most Scalable Idea Award -- for a tech-led idea with the scope to make an impact within its sector and, potentially, beyond -- has been won by OMD Media Direction Russia, Media Direction Group. The agency took the silver for a multimedia campaign for ride-hailing service Uber that used its own 'smart out-of-home' system to grow penetration.

A campaign by Energy BBDO for American non-profit organisation, the
National Safety Council, has won the Grand Prix and the Early Adopter
Award.
The Prescribed to Death campaign raised awareness of
prescription opioid overdose in the US with an innovative live
experience supported by a multimedia campaign. Prescription opioids
contribute to the deaths of more than 22,000 Americans each year. An NSC
survey on drug abuse revealed that one in three Americans taking
prescription opioids don't even know they're taking opioids, so the
campaign targeted household health decision-makers and pain-sufferers.
The campaign launched opioid educational information on Facebook,
developed 'Warn Me' labels for insurance cards and, using data and
images of overdose victims, created a digital memorial wall and drove
awareness via ads on social media, OOH and radio.
The campaign attracted close to 2.5 billion earned impressions, built recognition for the NSC and more than one million Americans put the labels on their insurance cards.
