Alternatives to crowded cities, cardboard boxes and a legendary Australian featured in some of the most moving travel campaigns.
Some of the biggest hits in transport and tourism were more about mobility than travel. Take the wonderful “Boxes” spot for Uber from Forsman & Bodernfors, which was all about unlocking traffic-clogged cities. Similar yet entirely different was Jung Von Matt’s genius idea of turning an Adidas sports shoe into an annual ticket, to persuade young people to take the subway. McCann New York scored big with an album featuring a selection of love songs that overturned gender clichés – all to promote MGM Resorts in Las Vegas, the marriage capital of the U.S. For Australia, Droga 5 created a mock trailer for a film featuring Crocodile Dundee’s hapless son. Elsewhere, a surf photographer abandoned the beaches of paradise for the storm-battered Lofoten archipelago in Norway, where he found a different kind of nirvana.
