We’ll continue to feature some of this year’s most noteworthy Hermes Creative Awards entries throughout the competition. 

Hermes Creative Awards Organization: AEG Worldwide – Creative
Location: Los Angeles, CA
Title of Entry: “AEG Women’s Empowerment Video”
Category: 173. Electronic Media/Social Media/Interactive Media – Video – Public Relations

In honor of Women’s History Month, we’re thrilled to feature AEG Communications’ excellent Women Empowerment Video.

AEG turned a typically negative phrase, “____ runs like a girl,” on its head to showcase women leaders. The video features AEG’s team members and their accomplishments, including running a major stadium, throwing a multi-city concert tour, creating award-winning campaigns, inspiring communities and communicating a unified message to the world.

The video not only uplifts AEG’s team members but also dispels the assumption that doing something “like a girl,” isn’t tough or effective. AEG’s video serves as a reminder that women are leaders and can tackle all challenges they face.

Title of Entry: “Commerical Center Christmas Decoration”
Category: 194c. New Category — Other — Decorations

Every Christmas, no matter where you shop, shopping centers splurge on different decorations and themes to stoke the spirit and entice customers to buy varied gifts for relatives and friends. Santa almost always makes an appearance along with assorted elves, glitter, and paper mache snowflakes.

Malls all over the globe decorate to celebrate the holiday season. One mall in Bucharest, Romania decided to stray from the popular Santa theme and take a page from a fairy tale. To get in the holiday spirit, Bucuresti Mall decorated the inside and outside of their building to transport visitors to the world of Hans Christian Andersen’s Snow Queen. The mall created an  nordic environment using mirror shards, icy-blue textiles and LED lights that captured the whimsical nature of the tale.

The mall’s enchanting decorations sparked conversations on multiple social media channels, driving Bucuresti Mall‘s engagement rate through the roof. Needless to say, the decorations were a hit, and successfully met Bucuresti Mall‘s goal of creating decorations that served as “a metaphor for hope, which is really what Christmas is all about.”

Houston is known as the “Energy City,” and for good reason.  More than half of Houston’s jobs are connected to energy, employing more people in the industry than anywhere else in the world.

Recently, the Weiss Energy Hall wanted to celebrate Houston’s status with a 3D exhibit.  The 2,500 square feet exhibit not only replicates the city, but it brings the city to life using “bleeding edge projection mapping technology,” a system utilizing trillions of pixels, and miles of fiber-optic cable.  Developed over two years by RabCup, a full-service production company hired by Paul Bernhard Exhibit Design and Consulting, this stunning display is a tour de force of technology and design.

Title of Entry: “Georgia Experience Center”
Category: 76c. Public Relations/Communications – Strategic Programs – Interactive Brand Experience

One of the most valuable skills a marketing or communication professional can have in today’s market is the ability to use data to tell compelling stories. Georgia Power demonstrated the value of data-based storytelling in their new interactive experience, the Georgia Experience Center.

Describing an entire state’s history and culture is no easy feat, so Georgia Power decided to let the State of Georgia tell its own story. Using data gathered from around the state, Georgia Power’s Community and Economic Development Group created a new experience to engage their visitors.

To begin the experience, visitors are directed towards a Data Visualization Wall in the center’s lobby. The wall provides visual representations of Georgia’s employment, careers and GDP. Once visitors have looked through the Data Visualization Wall, they are directed to the Immersion Room where they learn more about Georgia’s economy, culture and opportunities.

By choosing an experience instead of a traditional presentation, Georgia Power makes a lasting impression on visitors.
