The truth about Smart

The online view

Simple idea, well executed across all formats and microsite. Interactive, but not for interactivity's sake. Good work!

The offline view
Simon Learman


Like the car, this campaign is a highly functional and fun. Although it lacks a little visual sparkle, the website is user-friendly and successfully challenges my misconceptions about the vehicle. Job well done!




Creative Showcase Grand Prix Awards 2006

winner 2007
On Monday 4 February the digital creative world were collectively perched eagerly on the edge of their seats as the IAB and Microsoft Advertising announced the Best Creative Campaign of 2007 at the much-anticipated Creative Showcase Grand Prix Awards event.

Over the past year we’ve seen a Brazilian chatterbox, a rock n’ roll cow, talking hedges and Radio 1 DJs, as well as a mid-life crisis retreat and robots dabbling in domestic violence. One thing unites all 12 winning campaigns of 2007 – a great idea and even better creative, effectively engaging audiences and illustrating the power of online as a modern marketing medium.

Miles Beckett, co-creator of lonelygirl15 and Bebo’s Kate Modern presented the award… to Poke, with their beautifully designed microsite for Orange Unlimited.
