CrUAtivity Digest Dedicates Special Edition to Ukrainian Winners of Kyiv International Advertising Festival 2023

The new issue of CrUAtivity features 29 cases that were recogniSed by the international jury of the Kyiv International Advertising Festival 2023 as the most creative campaigns on socially significant topics. The work that received the Grand Prix at KIAF 2023 was also honoured with two awards at Cannes Lions 2023.

The special edition of the CrUAtivity digest showcases the works submitted by agencies and awarded with Best of Contest, Gold, Silver, or Bronze awards.

This digest demonstrates how advertising campaigns can help make the world a better place and change the lives of individuals, countries, and the entire globe. Among the featured cases in this digest, you will find:

• Carol for Charity – a campaign that has received recognition at multiple advertising contests, including Cannes Lions 2023. The world-famous song 'Carol of the Bells' was transformed into 'Carol for Charity' and, with the help of Shazam, turned into a platform for donations to support Ukrainian children affected by the war.
• Protect your country – Help Ukraine – a campaign that reminded Europeans of the reasons for supporting Ukraine, whether it be humanitarian or military aid, and emphasised that it is not just about defending Ukraine but also protecting their own countries by helping Ukraine.
• LEOPARDS FOR UKRAINE – an Instagram flash mob #FreeTheLeopards that invited users to share a photo wearing leopard-print clothing and add a hashtag to express support for providing Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine. As a result, the decision to provide Leopard 2 tanks was made within just 3 days.

These remarkable campaigns exemplify the power of advertising to make a positive impact and raise awareness on important social issues.

• In the digest, you will also find numerous interesting and creative solutions to important social issues, including:
• A cartoon series about sex that focuses on the inner state of all teenagers, their sexual maturity.
• Disappearing mosaics addressing issues of sexual, physical, economic, and psychological violence.
• A unique cultural event, the world's first exhibition that was not afraid of power outages during the blackout in Ukraine.
• An annual report of a charitable foundation transformed into soundtracks.
• Cheese that draws attention to plants and birds listed in the Red Book of Ukraine, highlighting their need for protection.

This is not an exhaustive list of the creative ideas you can find in the CrUAtivity digest. We invite you to explore these ideas and their creators more closely. It may serve as a starting point for fruitful collaboration with Ukrainian creatives.
