Young & Rubicam – Make Peace With 2016
Young & Rubicam’s Make Peace With 2016 is designed to help families, friends, and colleagues end the year on a positive note. The agency is inviting people to select someone they disagreed with this year and make a donation to Unicef on that person’s behalf to help start the new year a little better. Donors can write a message or select from pre-written messages such as “I see your ‘likes.’ I don’t like them. But I like you.” or “It’s OK, everyone makes mistakes, even 2016” to share with the recipient. The donations will support two causes: girls’ education and education for refugee children.

Zimmerman Advertising – Santa Rebrand
The agency explains: “Mr. Claus has been relying on the same business model for as long as anyone can remember. In order to reconnect with his audience and stay relevant, he desperately needed an operations overhaul, a brand revamp, and a media makeover to start. Using the unmatched analytics, marketing, and creative power of The Machine, we helped equip Santa to better meet consumer expectations in the 21st century and beyond!”
