The brief from Hennessy CMO - Julie Nollet - "Get people to relax about Cognac."
Despite being one of the most ubiquitous brands on the planet, most people only know to drink Hennessy a handful of ways – usually neat, on the rocks or if they’re really adventurous with a simple soda like cola.
Hennessy is a drink that participates whether it be through culture or in taste. When added to an equation, it makes everything MORE.
Made for More is about getting people to think differently about Hennessy by showing people how surprisingly versatile it can be. Directed by Andreas Nilsson and photographed by Micaiah Carter, we launched the campaign with Teyana Taylor and Damson Idris.
This campaign also introduced our refreshed brand identity for Hennessy. One that pays tribute to the iconic brand that has been built over centuries, while also revealing a new lighter side to match the vibrancy of the product and its consumers.

We made a music video to show the power of women in sport. And it was FIERCE. AS. FUCK.
W+K Delhi kicked off its very first Nike Just Do It campaign not with a commercial, but with a music video-turned-internet phenomenon called Da Da Ding.
The Da Da Ding music video showcases the unrelenting spirit of women in India, aiming to trigger a movement by changing the way sport is thought about in this country.
The campaign features the ultimate girl sport squad–from national hockey player Rani Rampal and surfer Ishita Malaviya, to Indian film actress Deepika Padukone, and a huge supporting cast of everyday women performing a diverse range of sport.
Women’s football has come a long way, but it still doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Many English football fans haven’t had the chance to see their national women’s team in action. But what this actually means is that people have never seen anything like The Lionesses before. Simply because they weren’t watching. And while they weren’t watching, this team has been busy mastering their craft and transforming into a powerful force of nature.
To rally the nation to get behind the squad for the 2022 European Championships, we celebrated and championed The Lionesses by introducing their strengths through a series of projections on England’s most iconic landmarks.
Each place we chose for the projections has a strong cultural meaning that’s connected with the personalities and skills of the players on and off the pitch. Lucy Bronze, whose middle name is “Tough”, represents power on the Battersea Power Station, the captain Leah Williamson was projected on Tower Bridge, creative Keira Walsh – on the National Gallery, defender Demi Stokes – on the Thames Barriers, and incredible performer Georgia Stanway was celebrated on the Royal Opera House.
The global campaign ‘AWESOME is for Everyone’ for Samsung’s new A Series phone is all about the age of live video. Particularly the way in which it is used on social media platforms like Instagram and Tiktok.
We realised that to make something relevant, we had to do it like it was done on Tiktok. To make sure no Gen-Z eyeball was spared, we made a 48 second film as well as six 15-second feature ads and over 300 social formats to accompany the hero film.
We realised that to make something relevant, we had to do it like it was done on tiktok. So we collaborated with the content creators who do it best. We brought in makeup maverick Madrona Redhawk, dancing king Yvng Homie, funny man DJ Rangster and loads of other cool people. We also worked with 4 young, bedroom producers Weyland McKenzie, Fanshore & Tropic, Hirihiri, DJ Hyperlink and DJ Haus to create tracks for each of our feature films, each one in a different genre.
This campaign got a lot of people moving on Tiktok.
It even got the stranger thing herself, Millie Bobbie Brown, shakin’.
It got K-Pop sensations Black+Pink making their own version.
Fortescue Future Industries (a global green energy and product company) is committed to producing zero-emission green hydrogen from 100 percent renewable sources. To challenge and bigoted fossil fuel companies at the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow - we launched the brand via a provocative campaign which calls out the fossil fuel industry’s false promises and consistent greenwashing.
Enter ‘The Power of Now’ which sends the message home in multiple ways. Firstly with an online brand film calling out the deceit of the fossil fuel industry while offering a real solution, green hydrogen.
Print, OOH, and DOOH took on the industry in high-profile placements including the New York Times, Washington Post, The Guardian, across the UK on taxis, buses, and throughout the London underground. And finally, to put the solution literally into the hands of business leaders and policy makers, custom reusable water bottles were also being handed out at COP26 with a message reminding them that the world’s energy needs can be found in something as simple as water, nodding to how green hydrogen is made.
This campaign highlights authentic stories supporting the idea that following your passion defines you as a person. At the center of the campaign is a satirical twist on the classic Q&A, in which Peggy Gou becomes both the interviewer and interview, a 1-minute film reveals the intimate side of the rising star, as she talks about her identity and work – focusing on her love of food, music and style.
This film is a part of Protect Paradise, a commitment from Corona X Parley, to help end marine plastic pollution.

Each year 1 million marine mammals and turtles are killed by plastic pollution and reportedly, 90 per cent of seabirds have plastic in their stomachs. Yet 8 million metric tons of plastic still enter the world’s oceans every year – the equivalent of a dump truck every minute.
To promote awareness of the devastating impact plastic pollution has on marine life, we partnered with Corona x Parley and Academy Award nominated animator PES to create ‘The Fish’. Revealed just before Earth Day on April 22, the stop-motion animated film poignantly uses washed-up marine plastic waste to assemble a robot-like fish that is eventually eaten by an opportunistic seagull.
The release of the film coincided with the launch of a new interactive online portal, which highlights Corona x Parley’s ongoing beach clean-up efforts. At the time of launch, the partnership had conducted over 519 clean-ups with 25,808 volunteers in over 15 countries in an effort to protect the brand’s homeland, the beach. At any time, people can visit protectparadise.com to find the latest schedule of clean-ups near them and as ‘The Fish’ points out, help save the lives of the wildlife that call paradise home.
Protect Paradise is Corona's and Parley's commitment to put an end to marine plastic pollution.
This platform is a coming together of various activations and touch points that enables people to protect the beaches that have become our home.
We launched with a film that follows the journey of a plastic bag from city to isolated beach, seen from the POV of the plastic bag.
Next, over the summer (Corona’s biggest selling period) we gave people the chance to be part of the solution by accepting plastic waste as payment for beer in cities and coasts across the globe during 2019 World Oceans Week. In total, ten countries and over 100 locations got behind the initiative.
Geo-targeted digital assets directed people to protectparadise.com/paywithplasticwhere – an interactive map that displayed the nearest locations to exchange plastic for Coronas. Posters were also put up around cities, in partnering bars and retail partners to further promote the activation.
As Covid-19 brought our world to a grinding halt, the effects of this global pandemic has forced us all to embrace a startling new normal overnight. With people working from home and local businesses on a mandatory hiatus threatening their survival, many are struggling to envision the proverbial light at the end of this dark tunnel. We wanted to do our part in helping to lift spirits locally, with a campaign that gives the people of Amsterdam something to look forward to, while supporting some of the small, local businesses we love and miss.
