 This week's guest judge is Toby Talbot, global chief creative officer of DDB's bespoke agency, 14. It's Cannes week. Well it is in a virtual sense at least. And I find myself for the first time in a very long time, a mere one hour and twenty minutes flight away from Rose Town as opposed to feeling akin to embarking on a bus trip to Mars from my previous home in New Zealand. I'm not bothered about not being there frankly. It may be close, but Barcelona is infinitely nicer. And frankly, all awards shows still feel in this post pandemic reality we find ourselves in, a little bit, well, trivial.

 There are 1.7 billion children being abused in different ways in the world. However, their stories are easy to be neglected and forgotten in Taiwan. Known as the happiest country in Asia. This has led to the low donation rate for the World Vision Taiwan. Now that these abused children have been forgotten, Wunderman Thompson Taiwan and World Vision hope that Taiwanese people can take initiative to see and discover the problems, by getting people to realize the cruelty existing in their daily life. To demonstrate this, Wunderman Thompson Taiwan created the 'Forgotten Corners Of The World' exhibition. It's always easy for people to ignore things that are irrelevant or distant, but these small and cruel incidents are real. Therefore, we are putting them in the eyes of the people who are always happy to let the forgotten place be noticed again. 14 cruel stories where turned into 14 miniatures. Based on the different content of the stories, a corresponding item was place in the store (Ex: we put a miniature of a child under alcohol abuse next to the beer area). In addition to discovering and looking at these miniatures, people can also scan the QRcode right next to the miniature to see how the children are being abused in sound and to donate money to them.

 Before COVID-19, 150,000 Americans were dying of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) every year, and the pandemic has only worsened this crisis. An estimated 30 million Americans have COPD, and almost half 12–15 million don't know they have it. As the nation focuses on getting as many Americans as possible vaccinated against COVID-19, those with COPD are particularly vulnerable, as the disease doubles the risk of COVID-related hospitalization and death.

 Romania has a unique issue it has the fastest internet in Europe and the cheapest internet in the world. As a result, Romanian children use the internet as their favorite playground to learn, explore and make friends. However, the awareness about online dangers among Romanian parents is extremely low. As internet dangers are often abstract and hard to grasp, Romanian parents dismiss them as not being "real" dangers. As a result, 91% of them do not use any software tools to protect their children online. To promote the Kaspersky Safe Kids app, Telekom needed to educate the Romanian parents about the dangers of the internet and present them in a way that is easily and quickly understood by Romanian parents.
