‘A few happy African kids and some Coca-Cola and we’ve got something special there’

Everyone worth their salt in the ad industry knows award success lives and dies not on the quality of the campaign, but on the emotional ride the case study video takes you on.

So in a bid to improve Australia’s haul at Cannes Lions next year (and to spruik its Creative Fuel conference) ADMA has created this unique insight into the making of “The Award Show Case Study Song of the Year”.

“Forget endlessly browsing music libraries and scouring iTunes accounts, the Case Study Song of the Year is the ultimate soundtrack of success. And we’re giving it away to every agency and marketer in Australia,” says ADMA CEO Jodie Sangster.

If nothing else it’s worth watching the five minute making of video just to see Steve Back practicing his Mongolian throat singing.

There are some great one liners from the likes of Droga5’s Steve Coll: “I think a few more people have seen it than actually exist in the world,” and “clearly Coldplay have thought a lot about case studies when they’ve written a lot of their tracks”.

Or GPY&R’s Ben Coulson: “I find it’s easier to just start with an amazing piece of emotion. Somehow we fit some product in, and quite a few results.” And after hearing the track: “A few happy African kids and some Coca-Cola and we’ve got something special there”.

Dr Mumbo is looking forward to hearing what the good folk at Songzu have come up with.

It’s a worthy follow-up to last year’s effort “The World’s First Crowd Sourced 3D Printed QR Code, Live Streamed Via Go Pro To A Smart Phone Or Tablet Device, Drone Delivery Ticket System Project”.
