 KFC’s research is in: While 90% of non-customers have positive feelings towards the fast food chain, they’re choosing competitors because they see KFC’s food as "outdated" and "bland”. In fact, KFC’s nationwide study revealed that QSR customers rank the brand as the most plain and boring in its category. VIEW THE SPOT

 Dentsu Thailand’s integrated campaign for Honda, ‘PROTECT The Power of Dreams’, promotes safe riding habits for child passengers on motorcycles, and calls on parents to protect their child’s dreams for the future. In Thailand, motorcycles are a daily necessity, but the safety of children riding on motorcycles have been often overlooked, with only 16% of Thai children wearing helmets when riding as passengers. Yet, not wearing helmets has been a major cause of death among Thai children, with around 3,000 deaths each year, approximately nine every day. VIEW THE SPOT

 This summer, Leo UK and McDonald’s are celebrating the joy of a side mission to McDonald’s with an integrated campaign that gamifies the brand experience across every touchpoint. ‘McDonald’s Side Missions’ is inspired by the universal fan truth that McDonald’s is life’s side mission. Whether that’s stopping for a Big Mac during a long journey or a McMuffin before work, a trip to McDonald’s is always a welcome detour and often more fun than the main mission. To bring this to life, the brand has tapped into the origins of the phrase ‘side mission’, VIEW THE SPOT
 For centuries, Britain's canals and rivers have brought people together – to make memories, share stories, and find moments of peace and joy. But what most people don’t know is that this historic network requires constant upkeep and protection from a charity – costing many millions of pounds each year. That’s why, for the first time in its history, Canal & River Trust has launched a TV advert to promote legacy giving VIEW THE SPOT
 Started from the bottom. No rich parents. No connections. No safety net. Born at the base of the pyramid, where survival comes before dreams. Falling. Failing. Repeating. Forget a bright future — just making it to tomorrow is a battle. This isn’t just the story of daily wage earners. Even salaried workers in Thailand feel the squeeze. Costs go up. Salaries stay the same. Poverty pushes people to think harder, fight harder. That's why FINNIX exists. A digital nano loan platform made for those with little to start with — even with poor credit or trapped in predatory debt cycles. We’ve been around for 5 years, and we’re still evolving — to help more people, in more meaningful ways. We’re building more than just a lending platform. We’re building a community of fighters. People who fall, get back up, and inspire others to do the same. We’re sharing knowledge, careers, and real opportunities — to help them not just repay loans, but reclaim their lives. We want to champion life’s true fighters. Not just those who struggle to pay interest… but those who rise up for themselves and their families. Turning ordinary streets into arenas — backing borrowers to fight strong. 'Finnix, partnering with life's fighters.' VIEW THE STREET FOOD FIGHTER SPOT VIEW THE SALARYMAN SPOT
 Some children in the UK are living in “Dickensian” poverty. Not our words - those of the Children’s Commissioner for England. Kids are so hungry, they’re eating pencil rubbers. How is this happening, here, in the UK, today? That’s what we asked too. So, we’re doing our bit to help change that. Summer holidays are approaching. That means 8 weeks with no free school meals, and more pressure on struggling families.That’s why we launched The Lunch Hour Sacrifice. VIEW 4 OUTDOORS

The centrepiece of the campaign is a 14-minute live opera performance in downtown Toronto, VIEW THE CONCEPT
 Dentsu Philippines and Pocky Philippines help Filipino youths to 'Paki Sabi' with POCKY SABI, making the well-loved snack more than a just a sweet treat but the sweetest way to express their love, anonymously. While love and romance is a celebrated part of Filipino culture, many young Filipinos hesitate to express love openly due to hiya, an in-grained cultural value that encourages humility, making moments of affection difficult.

 CIB is a well-established local bank with deep roots in Egypt and a strong reputation for trust and reliability. Now, it’s launching a new card called “Swipe” — a smart, flexible way to pay in installments for almost anything. The concept is simple: make installment easy, accessible, and effortless, just like an old friend who makes things simple.

These lyrics have become so deeply ingrained in people’s memory that in our execution, every time someone meets one of these stars in real life, VIEW THE 2 SPOTS
 In Egypt, many traditional banks are stuck in the past — offering rigid packages, slow service, and a one-size-fits-all mindset. As a result, customers often feel undervalued, unheard, and frustrated. We tapped into that tension and turned it into a cinematic metaphor: a customer literally running from outdated banking.

Shopaholics always have a reason to buy something new. Even as the economy gets tougher, every shopper finds a way to justify their choices. To outsiders, those reasons might seem pointless. That’s why Central The 1 stands behind every shopper’s reason with a new feature: Dynamic Points — a revolutionary way to earn rewards that breaks the market norm of simply giving 4X points.

 Back in 1959, Volvo invented the life-saving three-point seatbelt—and then made the patent available for all automakers to use for free. To honour this legacy, we created a print campaign featuring cars from different decades, showing that no matter what car you drive, you're always driving with a part of Volvo. The ads were strategically placed near other automakers’ dealerships. VIEW THE 3 ADS

 34 minutes for mainstream sports. 0 minutes for athletes with intellectual disabilities. Two numbers, one reality — and one pact.That’s how #PactoInvisibles started. It’s a movement to give visibility to over 11,000 athletes from Special Olympics Chile who, despite their achievements, are still invisible in the media. Even getting them just 1, 2, or 3 minutes of coverage would be like winning Olympic gold for the country. VIEW OUTDOOR
 The Cosmic Art of Shakashaka Inspired by the percussion concept of drawing extraordinary musicality from ordinary objects, we turned our Shake Shake Fries to Shakashaka - a cultural, musical phenomenon. We built an experiential world through multiple in-store activations like the Shakashaka classes, fry-bag manuals, and a mockumentary series, introducing "Papaji," an enlightened preacher who unlocked the ‘divine’ power of shaking fries with the sacred Piri Piri seasoning.

To illustrate this imbalance, the campaign features a bold visual idea: images composed of just 5% sea and 95% sky VIEW THE 2 ADS
 The Melbourne Flower Market is among Australia’s largest wholesale markets, with hundreds of florist businesses frequenting the market each week to buy fresh stock. But the market’s operation was being threatened by a rise in sexist jokes and comments towards female visitors from the largely male stallholder community. To help combat this behaviour, our posters exposed perpetrators as embarrassing fools, and messaging clearly established sexist jokes as serious sexual harassment that was unacceptable. VIEW THE AD
