The campaign demonstrates the Land Rover Defenderâs capability. The brandâs reputation is built on its ability to deal with any situation, no matter how hard that may be. RKCR/Y&R thought a map of the world seemed an ideal solution. However this is no ordinary map, the landmass was entirely made up of the iconic shape of the Defender itself. The mountains, deserts, even the polar caps were all made out of Defenders, implying that no matter the terrain the Defender was more than capable of conquering it. This was neatly summed up by the headline on the front cover of the map which read â70% of the World is covered by water the rest is covered by Defenderâ.

VIEW THE SPOT Yogen Fruz : the people decide when the store will open
Yogen Fruz is a premium frozen yoghurt brand from Canada that wanted to launch its flagship store in KLCC Twin Towers. Its mantra is âitâs all about uâ. So, on the day of the launch, Yogen Fruz gave power to the people.Instead of launching it the usual way, Yogen Fruz let people decide when its store would open. It was a carefully timed,first-of-a-kind retail launch, which made people feel they made it happen. A hoarding made of 2000 empty cups offering 50% off covered the store. People were invited to come back with the cups another day to get their discounted frozen yoghurt.All the 2000 cups were gone in just a few hours. YogenFruz had the highest sales in one day. The launch was so successful that the client wants to use this idea for every new outlet.

Experiment: The Solar Charging Dummies. Exactly how much energy do you get from a sunny holiday? SPIES Travels built two solar charging dummies and sent them on two very different holidays to find out. The results were surprising.
One in four Danes experience winter depression and a study shows that 58% would like travel to warmer destinations to recharge. But are the Danes really solar powered? To find out we constructed two dummies at the Technical University of Denmark with 6.260 advanced flexible solar cells. We placed one in freezing Denmark and one in sunny Gran Canaria for seven days. Finally, two robots were used to test endurance and bed-stamina to demonstrate the effect of a good long holiday. Agency:Robert/Bolsen & Like Minded, Copenhagen VIEW OUTDOOR
