The Best of Activation, from this year on aka The Log Awards.

BOA LogLast night, it was BOA Award Time. Big winners were Tequila and Proximity BBDO, with 6 Logs each, if the alcohol didn’t damage my math skills too much. Tequila won 3 Bronzes, a Silver, a Gold, the Coup de Coeur (press award) and the 360° award for 3 different cases.
Proximity BBDO, most of the time in combination with BBDO-sissters VVL and/or Navajo, took (or better carried) home 6 Logs: a Gold and a Silver for Dodge ‘Baby Made On Board’, Gold for Belgacom ‘Internet is Mine’, Silver for the John McRoe Macro case, another Silver for Bank Card Company and finally a Bronze for Agoria ‘How Nerdy Are You?’.
With 3 other Bronzes for Navajo (Nokia Trend Lab), Darwin (Kazen van bij ons) and N’LIL (EMC Virtual Vision) the BBDO network is now known as ‘The Log Lady’.
Other winners: Happiness (2 Gold, 2 Silver for Toyota) LDV (2 Bronze), Mortier (Gold and Silver) and a number of other agencies winning one log.

The overall quality of the cases is clearly going up, the importance of A Creative Idea is getting bigger and most of the cases are pretty integrated  (too bad the 360° award went to a hardly integrated case). But nevertheless I still heard the word ‘below’ 3 times during presentations and the jury might consider being slightly less generous but than again, who are we to complain: the location was superb, food&drinks, weather and crowd were A OK and my back hurts like hell..

Congrats the whole Proximity BBDO Team and get your backs in shape for next year!

Proximity BBDO domineert Cuckoo Awards 2009

Voor de Cuckoo Awards, die naast creatie ook efficiëntie in direct marketing belonen, werd Proximity BBDO niet minder dan 10 keer genomineerd.

Daarmee schrijven zij met stip het grootste aantal nominaties op hun conto: 3 nominaties voor Makro-Free Petrol, 2 voor ING-Wijnkelder, 2 voor hun eigen nieuwjaarsevent Party for Food, 1 voor Belgacom-Internet is Mine, 1 voor SD Worx-Scoop en nog 1 voor Electrabel-Management Assistant.

“Onze primeur om met drieledige creatieve teams (art director, copywriter en online art director) te werken, werpt duidelijk zijn vruchten af. We denken op die manier medianeutrale concepten uit die we feilloos doorheen de verschillende touchpoints kunnen doorvoeren. Uit de nominaties blijkt bovendien dat we in alle mogelijke media, zoals de klassieke direct mail, digitale marketing én custom publishing goed scoren, en dat in een brede waaier van sectoren, zowel B2B als B2C. Zelfs voor de categorie “low budget” sleepten we een prijs in de wacht!”, aldus Gert Pauwels, Head of Management Team en partner van Proximity BBDO.

DODGE “Dare Days”

DODGE “Dare Days”

Dodge dared us to introduce the all-American car brand Dodge and 3 new models to the Belgian market without placing one single ad, without broadcasting one single television commercial and without sending out one single direct mail piece. Since showrooms lost their attraction, we chose to bring the showroom to the street. In a never-seen-before way. The Dodge Dare Days: a very visible road show that toured along 10 Belgian cities with a truly unique attraction: a 50-meter Dodge Viper Bungee with onboard camera to film your scary face. These movies were posted on the campaign site, ready to be sent to friends. Special, interactive banners guided people to the website. A contest worked as extra bait. Today, a new car model isn’t enough to attract people to the showroom. And even with three new models at the dealer, the introduction of a completely new brand on t he Belgian market would require an extensive (expensive) media campaign. With a limited budget and a hard-to-impress audience, Dodge faced a double challenge. The Dodge Dare Days however offered thrill-seeking car fanatics a memorable event with free Bungee-Viper jumps, Rodeo rides and a tour through the Dodge range, while spending only a fraction of the budget for a traditional multi-media campaign. – Over 10.000 people attended one of the 10 road shows – Almost 500 daredevils wete their pants in a breathtaking 50-meter bungee drop in the Dodge Viper – The onboard camera capturing their fearful expressions resulted in 500 viral movies and generated over 50.000 views on YouTube and GarageTV – Site traffic boomed, with over 35.000 unique visitors: over 10% opted-in, 5% requested more information, 1% visited the showroom for a test drive – Loads of free media coverage in newspapers, online car sites and blogs – And finally an utterly satisfied customer. 2x Bronze Promo Lions Winner.

Proximity gaat vreemd

Cannes feest

Diegenen die er niet waren hebben niks gemist. Diegenen die er wel waren weten er niks meer van. Diegenen die gewonnen hebben mogen vieren. Diegenen die niet gewonnen hebben mogen ook vieren want de ijzersterke collectieve prestaties van ons team (zijnde PROX-ALL) zijn fantastisch, en hebben nu echt wel de toon gezet van innovatief sterk werk uit de Scheldestraat. Voor zover we ons herinneren haalden we met BBDO voor het laatst een leeuwpie binnen in het gezegende jaar ‘90. We dromen nu al van de vele de mogelijks volgen.

5 shortlist en 2 leeuwen overtroffen ruim de verwachtingen. Over (de bar roept)
