Ad of the Day | Zulu Alpha Kilo Launches Online Video Campaign To Promote The One Club’s 2019 One Show Call for Entries

Oct. 01, 2018

The One Club for Creativity, the world's foremost non-profit organization recognizing creative excellence in advertising and design, today debuted an online video campaign from Toronto agency Zulu Alpha Kilo to promote the call for entries for the 2019 iteration of the prestigious One Show awards.

Part of the agency’s “Win Pencil, Draw Respect” campaign, the videos use humorous before-and-after scenarios to depict how the life of a creative improves dramatically after winning a coveted One Show Pencil.  The campaign also includes posters, banners and simple animated videos.

The campaign kicks off today with three videos: “Monitor”, “We Quit” and “Jury Room”, all directed by Jono Hunter with production company OPC.  Two other videos will be released in the coming months.

Zak Mroueh, chief creative officer and founder, Zulu Alpha Kilo said:

“We wanted to tap into real industry insights that creatives have experienced. Whether it’s being in a jury room, resigning from a job, or simply asking for a bigger monitor, once you’ve won a One Show pencil there’s an increased level of respect that comes with it that would impact how those scenarios play out. We wanted to dramatize that.”

 

Kevin Swanepoel, CEO, The One Club for Creativity said:

“Winning a One Show Pencil has propelled the careers of many creatives around the world. The club’s mission is to support and celebrate the success of the global creative community, and we accomplish that by elevating the best work on a global stage.”

 

The One Show entries can be submitted now at http://www.oneshow.org.  The early deadline is November 30, 2018, when the first batch of entries will be judged in a preliminary round. The final deadline to enter is January 31, 2019.  One Show juries will be announced shortly.

Entering work into The One Show also helps the industry overall because The One Club is a global non-profit organization that uses awards revenue to give back to the industry through nearly two dozen education, professional development, gender equality and inclusion and diversity programs for creatives at all levels around the world.
