Title of Entry: “inferno spring break campaign”
Category: 152c. Strategic Communications – Marketing/Promotion Campaign – Special Event

Agency life often means lots of projects, little downtime and even less of a chance to take a break, much less a spring break. inferno aimed to encourage team members to take a break from ongoing projects by organizing their own spring break “Work’s a Beach” event.

The firm hosted a spring break event for some much-needed R&R. To promote the event, inferno designed invitations that were a play on the traditional project proposal. Each invitation features a different client request with pictures of inferno team members fulfilling the request… spring break style.

The agencies faced the challenge of personalizing logistics by filming four videos. Three videos feature global entrepreneurs whose businesses trade products internationally, and the fourth focuses on Maersk’s overall message of the “heart of trade.”

Along with humanizing logistics, M2Film and Green Cave People aimed to show the positive impact of international trade, beyond the exchange of goods. Each entrepreneur featured tells a different story of how their business impact communities internationally.

Happy retirement, Terry!

terry for the blog

If you have ever called, emailed or chatted with us, chances are you know Terry Immel.  Terry is the calm person on the other end of the conversation.  She may be the nicest person any of us have ever met.

After 17 years with AMCP, Terry is retiring today.  Terry is the glue who holds the operation together. She has many duties, but none more important than keeping a bunch of creative miscreants under control, including her close friend Izzy, our lazy, outspoken head of security.

MarCom Awards Organization: Art & Science
Location: Toronto, ON
Title of Entry: “LandMarks2017/ Repères2017”
Category: 271. Digital Media – Website

Technology and nature are not normally thought of as going hand in hand, but Art & Science dreamt up a way to use technology to represent both nature and art.

Art & Science created a website for LandMarks2017/Reperes2017, a project that features art in Canada’s National Parks. The agency went beyond a site that simply provides information for the project and created a fully immersive experience.

Site users begin at the main interface, a night sky featuring various stars as destinations. From their starting point, users click and drag around the site to go to various stars, or destinations. Each destination represents a different art project. Once a destination is selected, the site launches into the “journey,” through digitized landscapes featuring Canadian flora and fauna.

After users have reached their chosen destination, they view the gallery associated with the project. Users are then taken back to the night sky where they can go to a new destination and view their personal journey, as well as the journeys of other users.

The site creates opportunities for users worldwide to appreciate the Landmarks2017/Repères2017 project. We highly suggest spending some time going through the website, landmarks2017.ca, to have the full experience and appreciate Art & Science’s vision.
