May 27th, 2012 marked the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge’s 75th anniversary. Goodby Silverstein & Partners, an ad agency founded in San Francisco, has had a long-standing relationship with the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy.

Rich Silverstein served for fifteen years on the board of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, where he helped make them into a brand that is the envy of our country’s park system.

For the bridge’s 75th anniversary, we challenged ourselves to have people see the bridge, one of the most photographed and iconic American symbols, in a way they never had before.

GS&P’s photographer and senior art director, Claude Shade, was granted access to areas of the bridge that are otherwise strictly off-limits. The shots offer never-before-seen angles of the Bridge’s classic art deco architecture. The photos were then doctored to stay in-theme with the iconic bold “international orange” color and color blocking aesthetic Rich Silverstein made famous in our previous print work.

Direct mail advertisements can get pricey. All that paper, ink, postage, and packaging costs can add up.

So Liberty Mutual Insurance is taking a demonstrative approach with its brand message “Only pay for what you need,” by releasing the most cost-efficient direct mail advertisement possible – a tiny mailer just about the size of the postage stamp used to mail it. The mailer’s near-microscopic headline unfolds to read, “We only paid for what we need, and you can too with customized car insurance.”

The mailers were strategically sent to the city that currently pays the most to own a car – Seattle, Washington. And while the envelope, card, and message might be small, the takeaway packs a big punch for drivers in Seattle who are frustrated with record high car expenses.

When Adobe replaced their popular creative software with the subscription-based Creative Cloud, they were launching an entirely new way of using their product.

So we decided to launch an entirely new type of customer.

Today’s creatives aren’t just one thing; they are multidisciplinary artists. We needed to show what is possible now that all Adobe’s tools are bundled together.

To win them over, we put our customers at the center of an integrated campaign, projecting their crowdsourced self-portraits onto their faces and thereby showing art and artist together.

* An online spot declared, “I Am the New Creative,” and contained embedded links that connected directly to the featured artist’s portfolio.

* Posters were distributed to featured artists.

* The website, iamthenewcreative.com, encouraged artists to submit portraits and become part of the campaign.

* Adobe donated its global social media network to showcase the New Creatives’ work to more than 16 million potential viewers online.

By putting creatives at the center, we dramatically increased visits to artists’ portfolios. Positive sentiment toward Adobe Creative Cloud increased on social media. And the creative themselves became our best and most effective ambassadors of a new way of working.

In it a series of artists are shown with their work projected across their faces. Artists who appear include Joshua Davis, Dylan Roscover, Anita Fontaine, Jeremy Fish and Alejandro Chavetta. Additional artwork was also crowdsourced from Behance, an online platform that showcases photography, graphic design, illustration and fashion.

If you attended the 2014 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, you saw some of the world’s most awarded and respected advertising illuminati featured in Adobe’s “New Creatives” campaign.

The print work used the faces of six of the industry’s most respected professionals as palimpsests for collaborations with up-and-coming artists within the Adobe Behance community. Each creative professional partnered with an emerging artist to conjure up a design that reflected both the professional’s most famous ad campaigns and their unique personalities. The professionals’ faces were then painted white, and the designs were projected onto them.

Each creative professional partnered with an emerging artist to conjure up a design that reflected both the professional’s most famous ad campaigns and their unique personalities. The professionals’ faces were then painted white, and the designs were projected onto them.

The esteemed creatives included Jeff Benjamin (J. Walter Thompson), PJ Pereira (Pereira & O’Dell), Eric Kallman (Goodby Silverstein & Partners), Fernanda Romano (Naked), Mick Ebeling (Not Impossible Labs) and Alex Trochut. Collectively, the group has won over 110 Cannes Lions and 14 Grand Prix.

The creative partnerships include the following:

* Jeff Benjamin working with Vault49 to turn his face into the “subservient chicken” he made famous for Burger King

* Mike Ebeling also worked with Vault49 to interpret his open-source invention that allows paralyzed artists to create art through eye movement

* Eric Kallman joining Adhemas Batista to re-create Kallman’s work for Pizza Hut, Skittles and the mega-successful Old Spice campaign

* PJ Pereira and Doug Alves paying homage to Pereira’s latest book, Gods of Both Worlds (about Brazilian folklore), by projecting a traditional Brazilian deity mask

* Fernanda Romano teaming up with Yema Yema to showcase Romano’s vivacious personality through design

* Designer Alex Trochut created his own design

The ads ran in the official Cannes welcome booklet, in the Lions Daily News, on distributed posters and fliers, on out-of-home LED screens along the Promenade de la Croisette, through online social content, inside the Palais entrance and at the Adobe welcome party.
