PENNY continues is brand alignment with social responsibility. This excellent new film via agency Serviceplan draws attention to kids' voices and how adults should be hearing what they are saying.

| Business Sector | Department Stores, Supermarkets |
| Tagline | Children and teenagers do have a voice. |
| Philosophy | To achieve this, PENNY reached out to children and young individuals from the clubs that the discount store has been supporting since 2015 through the "Förderpenny" initiative, asking them about their hopes for the future. Over 100 youth clubs and social initiatives from across Germany participated. PENNY customers can contribute to the "Förderpenny" initiative, supporting young people by rounding up their total at the checkout or by donating the refund they receive from recycling their plastic bottles at the store. |
| Problem | Climate change, inflation, war, societal division, and inequality – how we deal with these pressing issues influences the future of our society. However, those most impacted by these future outcomes - our children - are usually not asked for their opinions or wishes. PENNY’s new campaign ‘The Kids’ sets out to make their voices heard. Through its annual social awareness campaigns, PENNY is committed to amplifying the voices of those who are frequently overlooked. Following the 2022 Cannes Lions Film Craft Grand Prix-winning ‘The Wish’, and highly acclaimed "The Rift", PENNY is championing the needs and desires of children and young people through this year's initiative: "The Kids." |

WWF Italia - #WeAreThePanda
Beautifully-shot video and accompanying print campaign for WWF in Italy with an urgent call to action. Stop the extinction of the next endangered species: Humans.
| Title | #WeAreThePanda |
| Brief | The campaign aims to raise awareness and inform people about the importance of protecting the ecosystem to save the new endangered species: humans. For this reason, the focus of the communication is no longer animals, but a heedless and self-satisfied human race that, with a smile on its lips, destroys the nature on which its very survival depends. Finally, the line, which quotes the iconic language of memes, provocatively underlines the absurdity of these behaviours. All campaign activities are gathered under the hashtag #WeAreThePanda which, thanks to a provocative role reversal, capitalises on the iconic power of the WWF symbol to raise awareness of the new endangered species, ours. The campaign communicates the goals of WWF's 2023-25 agenda and creates awareness about issues that, according to the World Economic Forum's Global Risk Report, represent the fastest-accelerating risk factors for humanity in the next 10 years. |

QuickBooks - For the Hero behind the Heroes
Warrior Queen Boudica creates some seriously helpful tax efficiencies through Quickbooks accounting software. Creative through FCB in London.
| Title | For the Hero behind the Heroes |
| Agency | FCB London |
| Campaign | For the Hero behind the Heroes |
| Advertiser | Intuit Inc. |
| Brand | QuickBooks |
| Date of First Broadcast/Publication | 2023 / 11 |
| Business Sector | IT Solutions & Professional Networks |
| Story | ‘For the Hero behind the Heroes’ shows warrior Queen Boudica talking to her accountant about sharpening her acquisitions strategy, the Three Bears getting their payroll just right, Hercules strengthening his personal training business, and Sleeping Beauty relaxing during tax season. |
| Philosophy | Accounting professionals are often overlooked or underappreciated. Intuit QuickBooks and FCB London want to change that with their new campaign, ‘For the Hero behind the Heroes’, and bring the UK’s number crunchers into the spotlight. The new campaign quite literally heroes accountants across the UK, showing that every client – even the historical, mythical and fairy tale ones – owes a lot to their heroic accountants. Using these unexpected characters, the ads will show UK accountants all the ways in which QuickBooks for Accountants technology can help them work more efficiently. And what better day to launch the campaign than the 10th November, which as we all know is International Accounting Day? This celebrates the day in 1494 when Luca Paciolo, the “Father of Accounting” published his foundation for modern accounting and bookkeeping, Summa de arithmetica, geometria, proportioni et proportionalita (everything about arithmetic, geometry and proportion). ‘For the Hero behind the Heroes’ is directed by award-winning female director Tiny Bullet, and showcases how QuickBooks for Accountants is the perfect tool for small firm accountants, through innovative new products like Pro Tax, Practice Manager and Bureau Payroll, which help them help their clients and grow their practices. The campaign will run across YouTube, OOH, Print, Social, Digital, Radio and Events from the 10th November to the end of Q4 2023. |
