VIEW THE SPOT Bik Bok: Bring Emojis To Life
As a major player in the northern European fashion market, BIK BOK approached us for their Christmas campaign: They had a genuine wish to be recognized for more than just fashion.
Going through teens and young adult's Instagram and Facebook pages we realized that they hardly use any words to express themselves. Emojis and short comments like "Pretty," "Beautiful", "Hot" and so on, are their way of complimenting. We found this global phenomenon interesting and proposed that BIK BOK should create a live experiment: How would these girls react to "old fashioned" compliments, face to face?

Also to the extent where you want to show it to the whole world, says Bang & Olufsen. We all know the guy, who solemnly shows how he broke his favorite running shoes, while incidentally completing the NYC marathon in 3:05. Or the disheartened person who presents how inconvenient their convertible comes into play on a rainy autumn day. This isn't coincidence, but rather 'humblebragging', as the term coined.
