How can a brand use Google Maps even when it’s not anywhere on the map?
H-E-B has no stores in Mexico City.
H-E-B offers delivery services for the city— the problem is, Mexicans weren’t aware of it.
And when your fan base goes from web love to web trolling, you know it’s time to map out a course of action!
H-E-B brilliantly leveraged Google Maps, competitor store locations, and photos to showcase how a clever strategy can go a long way.
This campaign proves that Google Maps isn’t just for directions, it can navigate a great campaign, too!

We all know what brand ambassadors for running shoes or sports gear typically look like, right?

Saucony, a running shoe brand, has stepped into a completely new niche—and the best part?
They wear sneakers all day, work in them, and, as it turns out, run nearly a marathon over the course of an average workweek.
Meet the NURSES!

How to change perception and influence entire cultural culinary heritage that threatens the green sea turtle population and risk driving them to extinction?
Many people in South America still eat turtle soup, even though hunting these peaceful sea creatures is illegal.
The question was – how to take turtles off the menu?
NotCo, a Chilean company, collaborated with one chef, a tech-driven food company, and its AI assistant.
Giuseppe (cool name for an AI tool) analyzed 260 plant-based combinations to recreate the taste, texture, and even the molecular structure of turtle meat.
Without harming a single turtle, NotTurtle soup was created, and we can thank AI that it tastes exactly as a turtle soup!

How can a CSR campaign produce a visible impact and bring long-term benefits to a community?
The Fulani people, the world’s largest nomadic group in West Africa, faced a unique challenge: Pulaar, their native tongue, had no alphabet.
After two natives began working on developing it, the problem was how to integrate this alphabet into the modern digital world?
With Microsoft's support, the Fulani people could finally type their language on computers, making it accessible to their community.
In doing so, Microsoft helped preserve an entire culture for generations to come.
