: Norges Bank ‘Torsken kommer II – Torske kroner nå’

Agency:
Client: Norges Bank
Date: May 2017
Norges (Norway) Bank has taken a unique approach to public service announcements and released a sea-themed music video to spread the word about its new 200-krone banknote.
The comedy spot features three of Norway’s most celebrated comedians – Knut Lystad, Lars Mjøen and Jon Niklas Rønning – as well as a rap from DJ Codfather and a cameo from central bank governor Øystein Olsen. The nautical theme pays homage to the 200-krone bill prominently featuring a codfish.
Non-Norweigan speakers may find the video hard to understand as, according to a spokesperson from the bank, “it includes many rhymes and references to Norwegian popular culture unknown to an international audience”. However, roughly translated, the song is about the Norwegian cod coming in from the sea and being transformed by Norges into money.
The spot, which is a remake of a 1980s comic tune, is the brainchild of Norges Bank’s communication department. The team enlisted Lystad, Mjøen and Rønning to pen new lyrics and record the song with composer Ketil Schei, while the video was recorded at Norges Bank, the First Hotel Grims Grenka and the port of Oslo in April.
“The response we have gotten have far exceeded our expectations, with over 220 000 views on Facebook and YouTube combined so far,” Andreas Andersen, head of communications at Norges Bank, told The Drum. “Comments are overwhelmingly positive, and many have expressed positive surprise to see a central bank using relatively unconventional methods (in a central bank context) to spread knowledge about the new banknote series. 
“We are very pleased that so many are enjoying the video, as we certainly had fun making it together with the fabulous comedy trio Lystad-Mjøen-Rønning and their professional team.”

WorkInProgress: 37.5 Technology/Cocona ‘The Cliffside Shop’

Agency: WorkInProgress
Client: 37.5 Technology/Cocona
Date: August 2017
Outdoor brand 37.5 Technology opened a remote pop-up shop 300 feet up on the side of a cliff in Colorado to cater to climbers on the go.
The Cliffside Shop was opened by materials maker Cocona Inc, which makes the 37.5 Technology fabric, which is found in performance brand products like Carhartt, Tommy Bahama, Katusha, Mission, Bauer, Kenneth Cole, Babolat and others.
The dizzying stunt shop, was opened on the Bastille Wall in Eldorado Canyon, just outside Boulder, Colorado and supplied climbers with apparel from Adidas, Rab, and Point6, allowing customers to test the gear in real-time. 
Cocona raised awareness and support of the company’s ongoing mission to provide access to public lands for climbing, donating $5,000 each to the Access Fund, the American Alpine Club, and the Action Committee for Eldorado (ACE) to replace aging anchors.

R/GA Singapore: Uber ‘Year With Uber’

Agency: R/GA Singapore
Client: Uber
Date: December 2017
Uber has brought back its data visualisation campaign #YearWithUber as a way of personalising a thank you message to its users.
Started last year, the campaign by R\GA Singapore uses Uber user data to create a personalised story about how they travelled in the past year.
Those wanting to make a video must be based in specific markets in Asia Pacific (Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Indonesia, India, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan and Vietnam) and have an Uber account and can create it by logging into the website
This year the data is used to create a ‘one of a kind’ music video for each user, based off location personalisation, as well as a combination of 5,000 story and song combinations. For each country, different cultural visual cues will be used, such as cricket in India and tuk tuks in Thailand. Kay statistics are presented, such as when you most travelled, how many miles you clocked up and how many cities were visited. Presumptions are made, which dictate the video content, such as pointing out that you rode on a particular milestone, like Chinese New Year.

Getting to know your B2B tech buyer

I recently examined the challenges of B2B developer marketing. One area I touched on was the importance of really understanding stakeholders’ sometimes divergent “hot buttons.” That went hand-in-hand with another lesson: You’re not addressing just one target, but a whole lineup of influencers and decision-makers who have a say in the sale.

That’s because when doing any kind of B2B technology marketing, you’ve got to embrace the hard truth that one size never fits all when it com
