What is success? Nokia teamed up with Wieden + Kennedy Amsterdam to answer this tricky question in its latest global campaign, promoting smartphone E7. The brand is encouraging consumers to look at their life from a new point of view and decide what real success means to them—is it just about money they make or something really priceless, like friendship, happiness and those little sunny moments of life. The global multiplatform campaign revolving around tagline ‘Success is what you make it’ includes digital promotion, prints and 15-, 30-, 45- and 60-second TV-commercials, which feature a variety of E7 users from all around the globe.

The Nike brand, which is well-known for producing high-quality professional sport gear and apparel for everyday athletes, has presented two adverts celebrating free moves. The two videos are dedicated to people whose motto is ‘Life is motion,’ and they never miss an opportunity to prove it. The videos, masterminded by Nike’s long-standing partner Wieden+Kennedy Portland agency, features dozens of people, who are demonstrating their very best moves in multiple sport disciplines or everyday life.
The hilarious series of viral spots featuring Isaiah Mustafa who promoted Old Spice shower gel scooped a plethora of industry awards (including the Grand Prix for film at the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival) last year and helped the 7-decade old brand double the sales. The ‘The Man Your Man Could Smell Like’ commercials as well as the answer videos on YouTube were extremely popular, and when the brand said that Isaiah had left the campaign, at heart people believed that the Old Spice Guy would be back. And he has done it. Old Spice and Wieden+Kennedy Portland, the agency behind the campaign, announced the return of the much-loved Guy, who will be featured in new adverts to air the day after the Super Bowl.
Nike teamed up with Wieden+Kennedy to develop (and launch) another project, which unites people and helps promote the idea of urban running across the planet. On January 4, the brand kicked off an Ekiden relay race (ancient Japanese sport), which is designed to engage as many runners as possible within two months (the initiative closes up on February 28).
