IN IT TO WIN IT
All Pencil winners get to apply for the ultimate prize a place on the 2016 New Blood Academy
See dandadorgnew-blood-awards for more on what winning looks like
BACKGROUNDAmnesty International is the worldrsquos oldest and biggest global human rights organisation This is one of its greatest assets as it is a very well known trusted and powerful organisation However itrsquos also one of its downfalls where Amnesty used to have a strong student and young people following today it feels out-dated and out of touch
The core barrier to people engaging with Amnesty is that they donrsquot see human rights as very relevant to their lives To tackle this barrier theyrsquove newly defined their brand ethos as Taking Injustice Personally Theyrsquoll build their brand strategy and communications on this principle
Taking injustice personally means not turning a blind eye just because itrsquos happening to someone else somewhere else It means truly caring about anotherrsquos human rights violation because it doesnrsquot matter where this is happening geographically itrsquos happening to another human and that is what makes it close to you It means feeling that what hurts another human being also hurts you
THE CHALLENGELaunch Taking Injustice Personally with a strategy a big idea and creative executions
Itrsquos up to you how you do this It could be a campaign to bring to life the meaning of Taking Injustice Personally for the target audience and help them to see Amnesty International as the way to do something about it Or it could be something that empowers or activates the audience to take injustive personally themselves in a real and meaningful way
WHO ITrsquoS FOR18-25 year olds who have heard of Amnesty International but donrsquot understand what the organisation does or how they can help They care about people and the world that they live in but find they are too busy and preoccupied to do anything about it These young people are unable to give much money but can lsquogiversquo in other ways eg time or advocacy
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALAn integrated campaign and launch concept that consider all communication channels relevant to the idea (eg print digital experiential socialhellip) Itrsquos up to you to decide the most suitable touchpoints for your concept ndash but you need more than one and you must include a digital element
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Present your solution using either a video (max 2 mins) or up to eight presentation slide images
Supporting material (optional)The judges will only look at this if your main deliverable has impressed This could include executions or mock-ups of your solution or show your process and the development of your idea
You can submit the following as optional supporting material interactive work (websites widgets apps HTML etc) physical material (prototypes mockups etc) If your main deliverable is video you can also submit up to four images If your main deliverable is images you can also submit video (max 1 min)
DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND First broadcast in 1984 Crimewatch features reconstructions wanted faces and CCTV in order to help solve some of the UKrsquos biggest cases
With the latest crime news and exclusive investigations Crimewatch is established as British televisionrsquos highest profile crime programme
Since its launch Crimewatch has featured over 5000 appeals and has developed a strong and regular viewership The BBC is now looking to build on the current digital offering elevating it from simply supporting the television programme to being an extension of the brand
THE CHALLENGECrimewatch is live lsquoeventrsquo television which airs every 5-6 weeks ndash it doesnrsquot have a regular slot And itrsquos only available for catch-up viewing on iPlayer for 24 hours after transmission How can the BBC maintain engagement outside broadcasts Crime happens all the time Crimewatch should too
At the moment digital reiterates and supports the programmersquos content The BBC want to create a digital solution thatrsquos part of the Crimewatch experience that leverages and enhances the existing Crimewatch offering How can they best maintain the live action momentum of the programme and create a compelling relationship between television and digital
WHO ITrsquoS FORCrimewatch has a diverse audience and your solution needs to consider this Notably it reaches more younger BAME (Black Asian and Minority Ethnic) and less affluent audiences than the average BBC One factual programme Female viewers also outnumber male ones
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This brief is about thoughtful service
design rather than a whole new product You donrsquot necessarily need to create a new platform from scratch ndash you might find a better solution using existing ones Think strategically how can you leverage the power of technology and existing platforms and apply it in fresh engaging ways
bull Consider audience behaviour and routines What touchpoints platforms
or technologies are they already using Donrsquot feel confined to BBC platforms how can the Crimewatch brand extend and translate into other spaces
bull Could you expand the idea beyond digital Think more than just another app or website ndash how does this translate into the outside world
bull How do you raise Crimewatchrsquos profile given irregular scheduling and lack of promotion
bull Can digital enhance the live broadcast as well as bridging the gap between live shows
bull Could you incorporate elements of storytelling to make the audience part of the Crimewatch experience Crimewatch has always been an inherently interactive experience People just picked up their phones in the pre-internet days So this kind of viewer immersion isnrsquot new to the brand
bull Crime can happen to anyone How could digital platforms help turn Crimewatch from a national television programme to a localised relevant and personal experience
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Clearly explain how yoursquove arrived at
your solutionbull Articulate how you might use available
technologiesbull Visualise your concept eg through
illustrations renders video etc bull Include a summary of key insights
from your research
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Present your solution and research using either a video (max 90 seconds) with narration or subtitles or up to eight presentation slide images
Supporting material (optional)The judges will only look at this if your main deliverable has impressed You can submit interactive work (eg prototypes of your solution) as supporting materialDandADNewBlood

FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE
Brief set byDampAD
In collaboration with JON KALLUS GREY LONDON
BACKGROUND You said you wanted to work in an industry thatrsquos brave Itrsquos time to make it so
Last year DampAD asked 50 young creatives from all over the world what they wanted most from the industry they were about to step into One of the most common recurring virtues Bravery (See the others at wwwdandadorgd-ad-foundationgameplan)
Bravery is also one of the most prevalent characteristics of Pencil-winning creative work This makes sense Itrsquos tough to reach originality without a healthy dose of fearlessness Moreover in the context of rapid technological development no one can let the fear of trying something new keep them tied to old ways or means DampADrsquos mission is to celebrate and inspire the best commercial creative work in the world This brief is your chance to help spur on the people who make that great work both now and in the future
THE CHALLENGEDesign an enterprise service or product that will spark a surge in courage to benefit the creative industries
Think about what bravery means to the creative industries Then consider how yoursquoll stir creatives to push boundaries stand up for their ideas or indeed even failhellip and then learn from that failure and ultimately use it to establish a more courageous creative practice
WHO ITrsquoS FORThe target is open Who do you think would benefit most from an injection of creative courage Itrsquos up to you but be specific and clearly outline who your audience is and their relevance to the creative industries in your presentation
Think beyond those already working in commercial creativity What about those gearing up to enter the industry Or the people teaching the next generation of creative superstars Itrsquos OK to focus on long-lasting change for the future over immediate impact on the creative industries if thatrsquos where your idea takes you
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Be brave yourselves obviously but be
realistic Submit something that could
actually come to life Or just do it It is enough to show a well thought out simply articulated vision of what your submission could become However actually starting something for real and presenting the results is even better
bull Show off your creativity In addition to inspiring others your venture has to say something about you as a creator and your creative skills
bull Be open-minded Your venture could be anything a company a social enterprise a service a game a book or an app Pop ups products or parties count too As long as it promotes creative courage
bull You can do this This is a big open brief But please remember that the best ideas in the world can begin with something as simple as filling a blank sheet with thought starters
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Keep it simple By all means envision
all of the mechanics of how your idea would work in the real world But then bring them to life in a compelling simple and visual way
bull Design matters Once you know what your enterprise service or product does show what it looks sounds and feels like Prove that yoursquove thought about and considered the brand identity and how and where yoursquoll connect with your audience
bull Think deeply execute visually Dissect your idea Interrogate both how and why you plan to do things
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs Work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)A presentation film (2 min max) outlining your idea Please donrsquot forget that max means max If you can get your idea across in less time which you always can do so Get the judgesrsquo attention by outlining the project simply clearly and engagingly Optional supporting materialThe judges will only consider the following optional supporting material if your main presentation film has impressed up to four still images interactive work (sites widgets apps etc) physical material (product prototypes site mockups etc)
IN IT TO WIN IT
bull For this brief winning comes with the chance to work with both DampAD and industry mentors to help bring your idea to life

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND We live in a fragmented digital world so tribes and subcultures donrsquot exist around music and locations anymore (Mods on Carnaby Street Punks on Kings Roadhellip) So how can Dr Martens retain its USP of non-conformist authenticity and rebellious self-expression whilst trying to appeal and remain relevant to a broader base of millennials living in a fast-paced digital mix-and-match society
Radio is ideally placed to rise to this challenge At its best radio is all about authenticity of music sound and voice Listeners are hugely sensitive to genuine content and live radio in particular champions expressiveness and inclusiveness Radio interacts neatly with other channels (you can listen to the radio while you do almost anything) And it has the power to unite people through shared cultural experiences and influence our emotions ndash especially through music (something thatrsquos very relevant to the heritage of Dr Martens)
THE CHALLENGEHarness radiorsquos potential to connect customers old and new with Dr Martensrsquo spirit of rebellious self-expression Use its power to evolve the brandrsquos current platform What do you stand for STANDFORSOMETHINGblogdrmartenscomcategorystandforsomething
Experiment with and push the boundaries of what radio advertising can be Your response could be anything from innovative explorations of radio and its role in our lives (eg K9FM) to original perfectly crafted playful ads or branded content
WHO ITrsquoS FORProud and passionate life-long fans of the brand as well as new customers ndash anyone who can identify with Dr Martensrsquo celebration of authenticity and self-expression Theyrsquore not from any particular tribe or demographic Instead theyrsquore focused on individual style yet all share a united spirit
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about innovative use of radio
what you include in the campaign is up to you It could be a single piece of branded content a series of seemingly traditional 30rdquo ads that builds to something bigger than the sum of its
parts a new way to engage with live music and festivals that Dr Martens can own and champion something that reaches people at work or play driving or jogging pre-recorded and scheduled or live and disruptive
bull Radio lives or dies by its use of sound and the strength of its writing So as well as a great concept the judges will be looking for brilliantly crafted copy to bring the idea to life (and feel free to include a beautifully executed sound-design accompaniment if thatrsquos also relevant to your concept)
bull Consider how radio can interact and link with other channels and platforms for an integrated campaign particularly social media Think where when and how listeners engage with radio But radio must be at the heart and soul of your concept not just a signpost to online activity
bull Traditionally radio tends to be used for spots with direct calls-to-action but it can do so much more This brief is about brand building so therersquos no CTA you must include (though you can if it makes sense for your concept)
bull Donrsquot simply extend the current campaign into radio itrsquos about evolving STANDFORSOMETHING into something new bold and exciting
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALTherersquos no mandatory CTA but your response should reference the current brand platform including the question lsquoWhat do you stand forrsquo or the strapline STANDFORSOMETHING
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Submit any scripts as written text-only PDFs (max 6 A4 pages) If you have multiple scripts submit each one as a separate PDF
Supporting material (optional)The judges will only look at this if your main deliverable has impressed

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND Our freedom of mobility is under threat especially in cities Increased urbanisation stretches our metropolitan transport systems beyond their limits leading to congestion and gridlock And as the global population grows with 75 of people in the world expected to live in cities in the decades to come itrsquos more important than ever to tackle this
In 2011 Bill Fordrsquos TED talk set out a surprising paradox a car company wanted to be part of the solution for sustainable global movement of people goods and services Later Bill was the keynote speaker at Mobile World Congress a ldquocar guyrdquo asking the world of mobile technology developers and entrepreneurs to join together with businesses legislators and leaders to achieve freedom of movement for all
Ford currently has 25 live global mobility experiments underway designed to anticipate what we will want and need in tomorrowrsquos transportation ecosystem They want to be part of the solution
If every epic journey starts with a small first step every cultural shift starts with being open to new ideas and together doing something small to change attitude and behaviour at scale Ford are looking to move people en masse to engage with new and experimental travel solutions and sustainably change the way the world moves
THE CHALLENGEUse Ford as a catalyst to create lasting city-wide change to how we get around Follow these steps to find your solution
1 Select a place in need of change Choose a large city or a megacity with complex transport needs It can be anywhere in the world but you must explain why you chose it
2 and use a Ford technology mobility experiment or asset You must make use of a Ford technology experiment or asset as part of your response but you can be creative with it Think laterally
3 to change a movement-related behaviour or issue for the betterDevelop a campaign product or experience to create lasting positive behaviour change to improve everyday movement around the city
WHO ITrsquoS FORAnyone impacted by congested cities who is frustrated by the difficulties of trying to travel from A to B Think about city living holistically and consider different city dweller experiences around transport If you choose a particular target audience explain why
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider small and attainable ways
that people can change their behaviour on an individual level that together adds up to a big difference Eg Shiftrsquos Action Tracker or Meat Free Mondays ndash theyrsquore tackling different issues but can you learn something from them that could be applied to transport
bull Consider Fordrsquos assets brand reach history and values diverse vehicles and technologies smart mobility experiments (how could you leverage or evolve these) employees engineers designers salespeople drivers racers owners former-owners locations factories showrooms test tracks etc What audiences can you activate at scale

A window display in a bricks-and-mortar store is a powerful touchpoint And in our ultra-sharing world a strong window campaign can become the ultimate image to share on social Itrsquos why yoursquoll see online-only stores launching pop-up shops and holding experiential events theyrsquore trying to tap in to that level of connection and authenticity that comes from having a real physical presence for their consumers to engage with
But whatrsquos in store for window displays as the way we buy continues to change
THE CHALLENGECreate an inspiring inventive conceptually relevant and eye-catching display for John Lewisrsquo flagship Oxford Street store for the Autumn season that reshapes expectations of what shop windows do and can be but keeps product firmly at its heart

bull Think about everything from how to engage the senses or bring in elements of storytelling to potential collaborations (you could propose an amazing artist or illustrator to work with for maximum visual impact) The scope is limitless

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUNDDesign has the power to do good but to achieve this you need the courage to believe in what you have to say the conviction to tell it and the clarity to communicate it
Monotype creates typefaces and technologies that help people tell their storymdashin any language on any device and with a clear voice
THE CHALLENGETake a cause you believe in and use the power of type to make a difference Design with typography to agitate educate and organise the world and your audience Use typography to help people believe in your cause and its purpose to motivate and inspire people in a relevant way to your cause and above all to make an impact
Typography is the soapbox for your rallying cry Used at its best it can empower your words evoke meaning set tone and inspire ideas Without it your message could be drowned out Where would the students in Paris of rsquo68 be without their screenprinted stencil type Where would Revolutionary Russia be without its condensed sans serif gothics And would Occupy have inspired the collective imagination without democratic digital design and lsquodesktop publishingrsquo The right typeface used in the right way gives a cause movement or change its true voice
Think about what you want to say and how you want to say it where you should or could say it how you might use type to improve your message to initiate change or to motivate and inspire
WHO ITrsquoS FORThose passionate about a cause those who want to be more passionate about a cause or those with ideas on how a cause can reach more people or be more impactful with the right typeface
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You can pick anything from a global
topic to a local or personal issuebull Think about the world of your cause
and those already active within it What means do they have to join you Do they have digital access or would a predominantly analogue response be more fitting What materials are related to the cause What methods
bull Think about the right typeface for the
right cause The typeface itself can become part of the message or the story ndash its origins its history and how you choose to use it ndash as much as or more than the words themselves
bull Design for protest can be visceral as response time is short Protest is both active and reactive By its nature its messages are often hurried scrawled and raw This translates digitally too into transmissions that are often quick and immediate How does this affect your cause or movement What kind of typeface would suit this type of messaging How would a typeface enhance its impact
bull Remember your end goal Make it bold Make it powerful Make a difference
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA typography-led integrated graphic design campaign including bull At least one posterbull At least one digital elementbull At least one other touchpoint
Your touchpoints could include banners badges moving image ads newspaper ads website banners or other online promotions ndash anything that could raise awareness and get people engaged The more innovative the better
bull Show how your output is relevant to your cause alongside your execution
bull Whatever applications you choose use only type as the major creative expression for your cause
bull Your executions must be visually linked to one another so that they can be easily recognised as part of the same movement
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs
Main deliverables (mandatory)Present your solution using either a video (max 2 mins) or up to eight presentation slide images

BACKGROUNDBanking ndash itrsquos not everyonersquos favourite task But undeniably in a world where the economic state is uncertain and rates rise and fall it is important to know your money
Nationwide are a mutual building society meaning they are owned by and run for the benefit of their members Unlike a bank they donrsquot exist to line shareholdersrsquo pockets ndash instead at the heart of their business and their existence is the commitment to being on the side of their members in the long- and short-term helping them achieve financial goals
The current financial climate often hits the youngest of the population the hardest with savings rates low and the costs of living high we need now to re-engage with the 16-25 year old audience This generation expects more than ever from their service providers With services like Airbnb and Uber changing the way we view and engage with providers consumers are used to cheaper prices seamless experiences and on-demand customer service 247 ndash and why should their bank be any different
THE CHALLENGEWith financial services lagging behind in terms of connecting with this age group how can we shake up the market to cater to their ever-changing needs
Redefine banking for a student youth audience Forget what banking looks like now and our current expectations from financial service providers throw out the rule-book for what a bank account does how it does it and what it looks like
This is an open brief you could look at redesigning the bank account itself from a product and service perspective or you could revolutionise the sector with a completely new communication approach You choose the platform and consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms the in-store banking experience social media apps PR product and anything else that makes sense to you
WHO ITrsquoS FOR16-25 year olds This young and financially un-committed population have likely just moved out of their parental household and are venturing
into the world to start their own adventures They are savvy about the brands they choose and value transparency and ethics brands who offer experiences and flawless service win over this cohort
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider how Nationwidersquos brand
position and unique stance as a mutual rather than a bank may play a part in a solution for engaging this age group Could the idea of supporting our members over generations be appealing
bull Think about the goals and mindset of people of this age group ndash what are they trying to achieve What are their challenges How could Nationwide help them achieve their goals
bull Think about brands which connect well with this age group What values does this age group care about
bull Donrsquot just think about what financial services already do and try to plug this generation into it Donrsquot be limited by current products or ways of banking Itrsquos all up for creative exploration
bull Think about what this generation want and need from a financial service provider (even if they donrsquot know it yet) and find a way for Nationwide to deliver that
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A concept that changes the face of
banking for young peoplebull Document and show your research
and how you developed your ideas This could be through a lsquomaking ofrsquo video or something simpler
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs

But this isnrsquot always recognised People have lost confidence in newspapers as print circulations have declined and theyrsquore no longer seen as a ldquomust haverdquo medium for advertisers The scale nature and value of their audience engagement is often misunderstood
THE CHALLENGEFacts figures and research alone may prove the value of newspaper advertising But how do you go beyond them to make advertisers believe They need to feel instinctively the trust audiences place in the words they read in newspapers And they need to understand how and why to tap into this
So create a campaign using newsbrands as your channel that brings to life the importance and power of the written word in an age of digital overload and fleeting attention
WHO ITrsquoS FORTarget media agencies (particularly young media planners who think that people donrsquot read newspapers anymore) as well as clients creative agencies media journalists and influencers But the campaign is to be run through national newsbrands so the secondary audience is any engaged reader WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The challenge is about the power of
the written word so copy is likely to be at the heart of your campaign The delivery and context need to do the copy justice and bring it to life so consider the most impactful visual approach to get your message across typography illustration photography infographics use of motion (for digital platforms) anything else appropriate
bull The digital and print formats you use are up to you as long as theyrsquore relevant to a newsbrand platform Eg tablet and phone based ads video and interactive traditional print adspace inserts wraps or supplements sponsored content etc
bull Newsworksrsquo website is full of facts figures research and insights Take full advantage of this an imaginative and compelling take on the numbers could be a powerful way to communicate your message bringing fresh thinking to the insights could lead you to a whole new way to engage with a newsbrand audiencehellip
bull Think how you could evolve your response to include things like membership or events ndash plus any future platforms that newsbrands could or should occupy where trust and engagement really matter
bull Your concept should work with any and all of Newsworksrsquo stakeholders But would your campaign be the same no matter the newsbrand or might the delivery change across different titles
bull Your audiencersquos time is precious How will you engage them and reward their engagement And what are the challenges of targeting an audience for whom advertising and marcomms are their bread and butter
bull Look at how newspapers use both words and pictures to tell a story Think about how headlines draw attention or make a more powerful point Remember that ads need to stand out against this compelling editorial ndash make sure your pictures arenrsquot boring or your words bland
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA campaign with a minimum of three different executions with at least one based on a digital newsbrand platform and at least one to run in print

BACKGROUNDldquoStories make us what we are remind us of when wersquore at our worst and celebrate our absolute human best For me itrsquos the only way to communicaterdquo Dan Germain Head of Creative innocent
Stories are one of the oldest and most fundamental forms of communication and ways of understanding culture history and people They can help us understand who we are who we were and what we could become They can connect to our emotional core and give meaning to the world around us
For brands stories are a way to build deeper ties with an audience Storytelling can help to give brands authenticity humanity and relevance People will engage with share and respond to narrative in a way they never would with other marketing messages
Shutterstock is a global marketplace of licensable stock content for creative professionals Their photos illustrations videos music clips and other content move brands transform marketing and bring creative ideas to life And they know that the most impactful imagery is not just beautifully crafted it also evokes real moments and interactions and relatable stories
THE CHALLENGEComedy Rebirth Rags to Riches Tragedy The Quest Overcoming the Monster Voyage and Return ndash these seven plot archetypes can be seen at work everywhere from global news stories to the smallest interaction (see Christopher Bookerrsquos The Seven Basic Plots Why We Tell Stories for a better idea of what these archetypes involve)
Pick three of the seven archetypes and create a static or moving image for each one that tells a story from the modern world Look to unexpected places find the dramatic in the seemingly banal the emotion and humanity that underlies the routine of our daily lives In a fast-moving digital world having the time and space to unfold a story is a luxury not often available How do you distil the essence of it down to something that can be captured in a single moment
WHO ITrsquoS FORTherersquos no target demographic for this brief but consider how and why your images might be used The audience will
come from the tales you choose the stories you decide to tell and how you tell them
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You only have one image for each
archetype one shot to encapsulate a story If you go for moving image each of your three films should only be between 10 and 20 seconds long
bull Your images video snippets should work in isolation but also together Yoursquoll be asked for a short description which the judges may view but your images should be able to speak for themselves without it
bull Will you embody or subvert your archetypes Donrsquot be too literal avoid cliche and obvious imagery
bull Your image should be powerful and impactful even at a glance but have the depth to reward closer inspection and repeated viewing Novelty isnrsquot enough
bull All image-making approaches are welcome across illustration photography and moving image hand-crafted to computer generated lo-fi to high-tech
bull Be authentic Your stories can be fact or fiction but they need to be genuine if theyrsquore going to mean anything to people
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Three images or video snippets each
telling a powerful visual storybull A 30 second video explaining your
process and the background to your work (use voiceovers and or subtitles but donrsquot talk directly to camera)
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined

BACKGROUND The Telegraph is one of the UKrsquos oldest newspapers Loved and trusted by its readership it takes an editorial stance best described as lsquoby those who know their own minds for those who know their own mindsrsquo
Like the British Museum The Telegraph looks traditional on the outside but its insides are more modern and relevant than appearances suggest Itrsquos an intelligent read often humorous occasionally quirky And it has a more balanced take on the world than many people might think
The Telegraph has long been regarded as a brand for older readers But within that much of their journalism cuts across age groups ndash and even political orientation
There is humour in the news pages and story selection Throughout its history The Telegraph has teamed serious reporting and analysis with popular news coverage
Equally many of The Telegraphrsquos established positions resonate with millennials who may not most easily identify with the brand enterprise personal betterment self-reliance independence
THE CHALLENGEThe Telegraph wants to use digital to prove its appeal to readers of any age How can you get them to reconsider what it offers What ideas might turn the heads of open-minded people who are looking for a different kind of news provider What might inspire them to try a Telegraph
Develop an innovative digital solution to get a younger audience to think again about The Telegraph The solution does not necessarily have to focus on lsquonewsrsquo but can look at the broad range of content The Telegraph offers
WHO ITrsquoS FORPeople of working age who know their own minds They do what they want when they want and are looking for a paper that reflects this attitude
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The Telegraph has always stood up for
a plucky almost bloody-minded form of Britishness It appeals to people
who sometimes enjoy taking an obstinate sideways view of life just for the hell of it How might you champion this to find new readers
bull Community comments on news sites appeal only to a hardcore audience and are difficult for most users to engage with How could a news organisation engage with its readers in a more constructive way and create a community around its coverage How does newsgathering change when everyone has a camera and a voice
bull Context most news stories are new twists on long running sagas How should reporting reflect this How should it cater for expert readers who know the story inside out and have strong opinions alongside a reader who is new to it all and wants to get their bearings
bull Definitions of left- and right-wing are now more open to interpretation than ever Even the Conservative Party is pushing for reforms in prison policy social justice and racial discrimination traditionally the territory of the left And therersquos more to a reader than the paper they buy people are often more complex and interesting than theyrsquore given credit for Even those who are held to be on the right can have surprising views and interests We all have common ground we can meet on ndash how might The Telegraph use this
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA digital product or service design to bring The Telegraph to a wider audiencebull Show the user experience or content
scenario eg with a storyboardbull Visualise your concept eg through
illustrations renders video etcbull Include a summary of key insights
from your research bull Show who the product is for

BACKGROUNDSince 1961 WWF has worked to reduce the impact of humanityrsquos footprint on the environment and promote biodiversity conservation Their stated mission is ldquoto stop the degradation of the planetrsquos natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with naturerdquo
Through a legacy of hard-hitting awareness-driving campaigns they have become the best-known non-governmental organisation working in this field Theyrsquore also by some way the worldrsquos largest conservation organisation with over 5 million supporters worldwide working in more than 100 countries
WWFrsquos members are essential to the organisation for both funding and support so engaging and recruiting members is crucial to their efforts Members not only pay monthly subscriptions but also serve as a highly receptive lsquomailing listrsquo who can be drawn on for specific campaigns But right now the benefits members and contributors get are limited Currently members simply pay a subscription and receive three magazines a year And this lack of involvement feels like a missed opportunity especially among a younger audience who expect and desire more involvement in the causes they commit themselves to
THE CHALLENGEHow can WWF turn their members into the worldrsquos most active global conservation community How can they modernise their membership and enable their existing supporter base to become more active
Design an innovative membership offering to galvanise existing members to action and drive the recruitment of new ones
WHO ITrsquoS FORThe audience is global Both existing WWF members and potential ones The core target audience is 25-40 years old but your concept should also to appeal to 16-25 year olds
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about empowering a
community but itrsquos also about trying to bring others into that community So be provocative be inventive but be
relevant bull Are there any partnerships WWF could
put into place that would help take the activity to the next level
bull Think about value exchange Do members simply give money or could their commitment shift to involve time expertise or reach (GoodGym or RockCorps are great examples of communities whose members commit something other than money)
bull This is an open brief so itrsquos up to you how you approach the challenge Do you shake up the membership package itself to make it more dynamic and engaging Is it a comms campaign that motivates members into action Is it a service that links members up with conservation opportunities
bull You choose the platform Consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms social media apps PR product experience and anything else that makes sense to you
bull Whatever your solution it needs to work both digitally and in the real world on and offline
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A product service or campaign idea to
turn young WWF members into an active conservation community
bull Document and show your research and how you developed your ideas
Where you need to use the WWF logo in your work use the special WWF x DampAD logo included in the brief pack Do not use the standard WWF logo

TIPS FOR A GREAT PRESENTATION FILM
bull Donrsquot include the brief ndash the judges already know it You can talk about how you interpreted the brief and how this led to your response You donrsquot have long so donrsquot waste time telling the judges what they already know
bull Summarise your project in the first 30 seconds ndash get the juryrsquos attention You can use the rest of the film to go into more detail if you need to but donrsquot make the judges wait until the end of the film to find out your solution
bull Itrsquos fine to include a voiceover speaking over footage but to keep judging fair and unbiased donrsquot include footage where you talk directly to camera
bull Focus on the creative idea and its relevance to the audiencebull You donrsquot need to make it elaborate and fancy Simple films with a clearly presented idea are just as effective bull If yoursquore trying to demonstrate an idea using mock-ups and screenshots clearly show how it would work

IN IT TO WIN IT
All Pencil winners get to apply for the ultimate prize a place on the 2016 New Blood Academy
See dandadorgnew-blood-awards for more on what winning looks like
BACKGROUNDAmnesty International is the worldrsquos oldest and biggest global human rights organisation This is one of its greatest assets as it is a very well known trusted and powerful organisation However itrsquos also one of its downfalls where Amnesty used to have a strong student and young people following today it feels out-dated and out of touch
The core barrier to people engaging with Amnesty is that they donrsquot see human rights as very relevant to their lives To tackle this barrier theyrsquove newly defined their brand ethos as Taking Injustice Personally Theyrsquoll build their brand strategy and communications on this principle
Taking injustice personally means not turning a blind eye just because itrsquos happening to someone else somewhere else It means truly caring about anotherrsquos human rights violation because it doesnrsquot matter where this is happening geographically itrsquos happening to another human and that is what makes it close to you It means feeling that what hurts another human being also hurts you
THE CHALLENGELaunch Taking Injustice Personally with a strategy a big idea and creative executions
Itrsquos up to you how you do this It could be a campaign to bring to life the meaning of Taking Injustice Personally for the target audience and help them to see Amnesty International as the way to do something about it Or it could be something that empowers or activates the audience to take injustive personally themselves in a real and meaningful way
WHO ITrsquoS FOR18-25 year olds who have heard of Amnesty International but donrsquot understand what the organisation does or how they can help They care about people and the world that they live in but find they are too busy and preoccupied to do anything about it These young people are unable to give much money but can lsquogiversquo in other ways eg time or advocacy
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALAn integrated campaign and launch concept that consider all communication channels relevant to the idea (eg print digital experiential socialhellip) Itrsquos up to you to decide the most suitable touchpoints for your concept ndash but you need more than one and you must include a digital element
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Present your solution using either a video (max 2 mins) or up to eight presentation slide images
Supporting material (optional)The judges will only look at this if your main deliverable has impressed This could include executions or mock-ups of your solution or show your process and the development of your idea
You can submit the following as optional supporting material interactive work (websites widgets apps HTML etc) physical material (prototypes mockups etc) If your main deliverable is video you can also submit up to four images If your main deliverable is images you can also submit video (max 1 min)
DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND First broadcast in 1984 Crimewatch features reconstructions wanted faces and CCTV in order to help solve some of the UKrsquos biggest cases
With the latest crime news and exclusive investigations Crimewatch is established as British televisionrsquos highest profile crime programme
Since its launch Crimewatch has featured over 5000 appeals and has developed a strong and regular viewership The BBC is now looking to build on the current digital offering elevating it from simply supporting the television programme to being an extension of the brand
THE CHALLENGECrimewatch is live lsquoeventrsquo television which airs every 5-6 weeks ndash it doesnrsquot have a regular slot And itrsquos only available for catch-up viewing on iPlayer for 24 hours after transmission How can the BBC maintain engagement outside broadcasts Crime happens all the time Crimewatch should too
At the moment digital reiterates and supports the programmersquos content The BBC want to create a digital solution thatrsquos part of the Crimewatch experience that leverages and enhances the existing Crimewatch offering How can they best maintain the live action momentum of the programme and create a compelling relationship between television and digital
WHO ITrsquoS FORCrimewatch has a diverse audience and your solution needs to consider this Notably it reaches more younger BAME (Black Asian and Minority Ethnic) and less affluent audiences than the average BBC One factual programme Female viewers also outnumber male ones
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This brief is about thoughtful service
design rather than a whole new product You donrsquot necessarily need to create a new platform from scratch ndash you might find a better solution using existing ones Think strategically how can you leverage the power of technology and existing platforms and apply it in fresh engaging ways
bull Consider audience behaviour and routines What touchpoints platforms
or technologies are they already using Donrsquot feel confined to BBC platforms how can the Crimewatch brand extend and translate into other spaces
bull Could you expand the idea beyond digital Think more than just another app or website ndash how does this translate into the outside world
bull How do you raise Crimewatchrsquos profile given irregular scheduling and lack of promotion
bull Can digital enhance the live broadcast as well as bridging the gap between live shows
bull Could you incorporate elements of storytelling to make the audience part of the Crimewatch experience Crimewatch has always been an inherently interactive experience People just picked up their phones in the pre-internet days So this kind of viewer immersion isnrsquot new to the brand
bull Crime can happen to anyone How could digital platforms help turn Crimewatch from a national television programme to a localised relevant and personal experience
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Clearly explain how yoursquove arrived at
your solutionbull Articulate how you might use available
technologiesbull Visualise your concept eg through
illustrations renders video etc bull Include a summary of key insights
from your research
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Present your solution and research using either a video (max 90 seconds) with narration or subtitles or up to eight presentation slide images
Supporting material (optional)The judges will only look at this if your main deliverable has impressed You can submit interactive work (eg prototypes of your solution) as supporting materialDandADNewBlood

FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE
Brief set byDampAD
In collaboration with JON KALLUS GREY LONDON
BACKGROUND You said you wanted to work in an industry thatrsquos brave Itrsquos time to make it so
Last year DampAD asked 50 young creatives from all over the world what they wanted most from the industry they were about to step into One of the most common recurring virtues Bravery (See the others at wwwdandadorgd-ad-foundationgameplan)
Bravery is also one of the most prevalent characteristics of Pencil-winning creative work This makes sense Itrsquos tough to reach originality without a healthy dose of fearlessness Moreover in the context of rapid technological development no one can let the fear of trying something new keep them tied to old ways or means DampADrsquos mission is to celebrate and inspire the best commercial creative work in the world This brief is your chance to help spur on the people who make that great work both now and in the future
THE CHALLENGEDesign an enterprise service or product that will spark a surge in courage to benefit the creative industries
Think about what bravery means to the creative industries Then consider how yoursquoll stir creatives to push boundaries stand up for their ideas or indeed even failhellip and then learn from that failure and ultimately use it to establish a more courageous creative practice
WHO ITrsquoS FORThe target is open Who do you think would benefit most from an injection of creative courage Itrsquos up to you but be specific and clearly outline who your audience is and their relevance to the creative industries in your presentation
Think beyond those already working in commercial creativity What about those gearing up to enter the industry Or the people teaching the next generation of creative superstars Itrsquos OK to focus on long-lasting change for the future over immediate impact on the creative industries if thatrsquos where your idea takes you

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND We live in a fragmented digital world so tribes and subcultures donrsquot exist around music and locations anymore (Mods on Carnaby Street Punks on Kings Roadhellip) So how can Dr Martens retain its USP of non-conformist authenticity and rebellious self-expression whilst trying to appeal and remain relevant to a broader base of millennials living in a fast-paced digital mix-and-match society
Radio is ideally placed to rise to this challenge At its best radio is all about authenticity of music sound and voice Listeners are hugely sensitive to genuine content and live radio in particular champions expressiveness and inclusiveness Radio interacts neatly with other channels (you can listen to the radio while you do almost anything) And it has the power to unite people through shared cultural experiences and influence our emotions ndash especially through music (something thatrsquos very relevant to the heritage of Dr Martens)
THE CHALLENGEHarness radiorsquos potential to connect customers old and new with Dr Martensrsquo spirit of rebellious self-expression Use its power to evolve the brandrsquos current platform What do you stand for STANDFORSOMETHINGblogdrmartenscomcategorystandforsomething
Experiment with and push the boundaries of what radio advertising can be Your response could be anything from innovative explorations of radio and its role in our lives (eg K9FM) to original perfectly crafted playful ads or branded content
WHO ITrsquoS FORProud and passionate life-long fans of the brand as well as new customers ndash anyone who can identify with Dr Martensrsquo celebration of authenticity and self-expression Theyrsquore not from any particular tribe or demographic Instead theyrsquore focused on individual style yet all share a united spirit
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about innovative use of radio
what you include in the campaign is up to you It could be a single piece of branded content a series of seemingly traditional 30rdquo ads that builds to something bigger than the sum of its
parts a new way to engage with live music and festivals that Dr Martens can own and champion something that reaches people at work or play driving or jogging pre-recorded and scheduled or live and disruptive
bull Radio lives or dies by its use of sound and the strength of its writing So as well as a great concept the judges will be looking for brilliantly crafted copy to bring the idea to life (and feel free to include a beautifully executed sound-design accompaniment if thatrsquos also relevant to your concept)
bull Consider how radio can interact and link with other channels and platforms for an integrated campaign particularly social media Think where when and how listeners engage with radio But radio must be at the heart and soul of your concept not just a signpost to online activity
bull Traditionally radio tends to be used for spots with direct calls-to-action but it can do so much more This brief is about brand building so therersquos no CTA you must include (though you can if it makes sense for your concept)
bull Donrsquot simply extend the current campaign into radio itrsquos about evolving STANDFORSOMETHING into something new bold and exciting
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALTherersquos no mandatory CTA but your response should reference the current brand platform including the question lsquoWhat do you stand forrsquo or the strapline STANDFORSOMETHING
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Submit any scripts as written text-only PDFs (max 6 A4 pages) If you have multiple scripts submit each one as a separate PDF

In 2011 Bill Fordrsquos TED talk set out a surprising paradox a car company wanted to be part of the solution for sustainable global movement of people goods and services Later Bill was the keynote speaker at Mobile World Congress a ldquocar guyrdquo asking the world of mobile technology developers and entrepreneurs to join together with businesses legislators and leaders to achieve freedom of movement for all
Ford currently has 25 live global mobility experiments underway designed to anticipate what we will want and need in tomorrowrsquos transportation ecosystem They want to be part of the solution
If every epic journey starts with a small first step every cultural shift starts with being open to new ideas and together doing something small to change attitude and behaviour at scale Ford are looking to move people en masse to engage with new and experimental travel solutions and sustainably change the way the world moves
THE CHALLENGEUse Ford as a catalyst to create lasting city-wide change to how we get around Follow these steps to find your solution
1 Select a place in need of change Choose a large city or a megacity with complex transport needs It can be anywhere in the world but you must explain why you chose it
2 and use a Ford technology mobility experiment or asset You must make use of a Ford technology experiment or asset as part of your response but you can be creative with it Think laterally
3 to change a movement-related behaviour or issue for the betterDevelop a campaign product or experience to create lasting positive behaviour change to improve everyday movement around the city
WHO ITrsquoS FORAnyone impacted by congested cities who is frustrated by the difficulties of trying to travel from A to B Think about city living holistically and consider different city dweller experiences around transport If you choose a particular target audience explain why
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider small and attainable ways
that people can change their behaviour on an individual level that together adds up to a big difference Eg Shiftrsquos Action Tracker or Meat Free Mondays ndash theyrsquore tackling different issues but can you learn something from them that could be applied to transport
bull Consider Fordrsquos assets brand reach history and values diverse vehicles and technologies smart mobility experiments (how could you leverage or evolve these) employees engineers designers salespeople drivers racers owners former-owners locations factories showrooms test tracks etc What audiences can you activate at scale
bull What else can you use as well as Ford assets Think about how a cityrsquos ldquostreet furniturerdquo could be repurposed ndash even if only for one day parking bays traffic lights traffic wardens multistorey car parks transport hubs and stations one-way streets billboards pavements roundabouts How can the everyday backdrop in which we move become inspirational
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIAL Your idea needs to have an authentic link to Ford and its brand values Your idea can challenge preconceptions of the brand but must help a wider audience see the greater purpose of keeping the world moving
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs

BACKGROUND John Lewis has been part of the British High Street for 150 years Over that time the retail landscape has transformed immeasurably with the biggest shake-up coming from online shopping While business is booming at JohnLewiscom the internet isnrsquot everything Customers often have a strong emotional bond with the physical shopping experience ndash one that starts before they even walk through the door
A window display in a bricks-and-mortar store is a powerful touchpoint And in our ultra-sharing world a strong window campaign can become the ultimate image to share on social Itrsquos why yoursquoll see online-only stores launching pop-up shops and holding experiential events theyrsquore trying to tap in to that level of connection and authenticity that comes from having a real physical presence for their consumers to engage with
But whatrsquos in store for window displays as the way we buy continues to change
THE CHALLENGECreate an inspiring inventive conceptually relevant and eye-catching display for John Lewisrsquo flagship Oxford Street store for the Autumn season that reshapes expectations of what shop windows do and can be but keeps product firmly at its heart
Store windows are there to communicate not decorate so think about what yoursquore saying how and why The ideal shop window will make hurried commuters stop for a closer look and draw new customers to the store WHO ITrsquoS FORJohn Lewis is a well known British brand with a wide customer base Tens of thousands of people pass by their Oxford Street store every day so consider who will see your window display It may be the starting point of a consumerrsquos interaction with the brand so it needs to make a real impact WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Set out your vision for the future of
retail and the high street How will the way we shop evolve and what role will the shop window play Look at insights into shopping habits and consumer behaviour think about the shopper of the future and what would make this window moment pertinent to
their needs emotions and desiresbull The display is for the Autumn season
how will this affect your responsebull The approach is up to you Is it an
immersive and inventive take on traditional window setting a bold graphic reinterpretation of the space a cutting-edge digital interaction or all or none of the above Does it stand alone or link to other media (eg website app or social)
bull Think about everything from how to engage the senses or bring in elements of storytelling to potential collaborations (you could propose an amazing artist or illustrator to work with for maximum visual impact) The scope is limitless
bull Your window should tempt passers-by into the store and prompt consumers to visit who otherwise might have stayed at home Create something thatrsquos worth getting off the sofa for and blogging or sharing on social media
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Window dimensions 24m high 6m
long 12m deepbull The window must show that John
Lewis is a cross-category brand including electronics fashion and home goods
bull Whether or not your concept includes actual digital elements it must include a link to JohnLewiscom to bring together the digital and physical sides of the business You must also include the John Lewis brand logo
bull With a canvas of this scale and exposure imagination is key Visualise your idea in detail how would it look sound and feel What will it do and how What would the experience of seeing or interacting with it be like

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUNDDesign has the power to do good but to achieve this you need the courage to believe in what you have to say the conviction to tell it and the clarity to communicate it
Monotype creates typefaces and technologies that help people tell their storymdashin any language on any device and with a clear voice
THE CHALLENGETake a cause you believe in and use the power of type to make a difference Design with typography to agitate educate and organise the world and your audience Use typography to help people believe in your cause and its purpose to motivate and inspire people in a relevant way to your cause and above all to make an impact
Typography is the soapbox for your rallying cry Used at its best it can empower your words evoke meaning set tone and inspire ideas Without it your message could be drowned out Where would the students in Paris of rsquo68 be without their screenprinted stencil type Where would Revolutionary Russia be without its condensed sans serif gothics And would Occupy have inspired the collective imagination without democratic digital design and lsquodesktop publishingrsquo The right typeface used in the right way gives a cause movement or change its true voice
Think about what you want to say and how you want to say it where you should or could say it how you might use type to improve your message to initiate change or to motivate and inspire
WHO ITrsquoS FORThose passionate about a cause those who want to be more passionate about a cause or those with ideas on how a cause can reach more people or be more impactful with the right typeface
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You can pick anything from a global
topic to a local or personal issuebull Think about the world of your cause
and those already active within it What means do they have to join you Do they have digital access or would a predominantly analogue response be more fitting What materials are related to the cause What methods
bull Think about the right typeface for the
right cause The typeface itself can become part of the message or the story ndash its origins its history and how you choose to use it ndash as much as or more than the words themselves
bull Design for protest can be visceral as response time is short Protest is both active and reactive By its nature its messages are often hurried scrawled and raw This translates digitally too into transmissions that are often quick and immediate How does this affect your cause or movement What kind of typeface would suit this type of messaging How would a typeface enhance its impact
bull Remember your end goal Make it bold Make it powerful Make a difference
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA typography-led integrated graphic design campaign including bull At least one posterbull At least one digital elementbull At least one other touchpoint
Your touchpoints could include banners badges moving image ads newspaper ads website banners or other online promotions ndash anything that could raise awareness and get people engaged The more innovative the better
bull Show how your output is relevant to your cause alongside your execution
bull Whatever applications you choose use only type as the major creative expression for your cause
bull Your executions must be visually linked to one another so that they can be easily recognised as part of the same movement

BACKGROUNDBanking ndash itrsquos not everyonersquos favourite task But undeniably in a world where the economic state is uncertain and rates rise and fall it is important to know your money
Nationwide are a mutual building society meaning they are owned by and run for the benefit of their members Unlike a bank they donrsquot exist to line shareholdersrsquo pockets ndash instead at the heart of their business and their existence is the commitment to being on the side of their members in the long- and short-term helping them achieve financial goals
The current financial climate often hits the youngest of the population the hardest with savings rates low and the costs of living high we need now to re-engage with the 16-25 year old audience This generation expects more than ever from their service providers With services like Airbnb and Uber changing the way we view and engage with providers consumers are used to cheaper prices seamless experiences and on-demand customer service 247 ndash and why should their bank be any different
THE CHALLENGEWith financial services lagging behind in terms of connecting with this age group how can we shake up the market to cater to their ever-changing needs
Redefine banking for a student youth audience Forget what banking looks like now and our current expectations from financial service providers throw out the rule-book for what a bank account does how it does it and what it looks like
This is an open brief you could look at redesigning the bank account itself from a product and service perspective or you could revolutionise the sector with a completely new communication approach You choose the platform and consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms the in-store banking experience social media apps PR product and anything else that makes sense to you
WHO ITrsquoS FOR16-25 year olds This young and financially un-committed population have likely just moved out of their parental household and are venturing
into the world to start their own adventures They are savvy about the brands they choose and value transparency and ethics brands who offer experiences and flawless service win over this cohort
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider how Nationwidersquos brand
position and unique stance as a mutual rather than a bank may play a part in a solution for engaging this age group Could the idea of supporting our members over generations be appealing
bull Think about the goals and mindset of people of this age group ndash what are they trying to achieve What are their challenges How could Nationwide help them achieve their goals
bull Think about brands which connect well with this age group What values does this age group care about
bull Donrsquot just think about what financial services already do and try to plug this generation into it Donrsquot be limited by current products or ways of banking Itrsquos all up for creative exploration
bull Think about what this generation want and need from a financial service provider (even if they donrsquot know it yet) and find a way for Nationwide to deliver that
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A concept that changes the face of
banking for young peoplebull Document and show your research
and how you developed your ideas This could be through a lsquomaking ofrsquo video or something simpler
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs

BACKGROUNDNewsworks is the marketing body for national newspapers in all their forms Newspapers are hugely trusted by their readers There is a depth of engagement and attention given to the words within them the facts opinions thought leadership They help set the national agenda through advertising as well as editorial a brandrsquos presence in a newspaper signifies immediate importance and stature conveys trust and prompts discussion and action In a world of distractions readers are uniquely willing to give newsbrands their full and undivided attention
But this isnrsquot always recognised People have lost confidence in newspapers as print circulations have declined and theyrsquore no longer seen as a ldquomust haverdquo medium for advertisers The scale nature and value of their audience engagement is often misunderstood
THE CHALLENGEFacts figures and research alone may prove the value of newspaper advertising But how do you go beyond them to make advertisers believe They need to feel instinctively the trust audiences place in the words they read in newspapers And they need to understand how and why to tap into this
So create a campaign using newsbrands as your channel that brings to life the importance and power of the written word in an age of digital overload and fleeting attention
WHO ITrsquoS FORTarget media agencies (particularly young media planners who think that people donrsquot read newspapers anymore) as well as clients creative agencies media journalists and influencers But the campaign is to be run through national newsbrands so the secondary audience is any engaged reader WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The challenge is about the power of
the written word so copy is likely to be at the heart of your campaign The delivery and context need to do the copy justice and bring it to life so consider the most impactful visual approach to get your message across typography illustration photography infographics use of motion (for digital platforms) anything else appropriate
bull The digital and print formats you use are up to you as long as theyrsquore relevant to a newsbrand platform Eg tablet and phone based ads video and interactive traditional print adspace inserts wraps or supplements sponsored content etc
bull Newsworksrsquo website is full of facts figures research and insights Take full advantage of this an imaginative and compelling take on the numbers could be a powerful way to communicate your message bringing fresh thinking to the insights could lead you to a whole new way to engage with a newsbrand audiencehellip
bull Think how you could evolve your response to include things like membership or events ndash plus any future platforms that newsbrands could or should occupy where trust and engagement really matter

BACKGROUNDldquoStories make us what we are remind us of when wersquore at our worst and celebrate our absolute human best For me itrsquos the only way to communicaterdquo Dan Germain Head of Creative innocent
Stories are one of the oldest and most fundamental forms of communication and ways of understanding culture history and people They can help us understand who we are who we were and what we could become They can connect to our emotional core and give meaning to the world around us
For brands stories are a way to build deeper ties with an audience Storytelling can help to give brands authenticity humanity and relevance People will engage with share and respond to narrative in a way they never would with other marketing messages
Shutterstock is a global marketplace of licensable stock content for creative professionals Their photos illustrations videos music clips and other content move brands transform marketing and bring creative ideas to life And they know that the most impactful imagery is not just beautifully crafted it also evokes real moments and interactions and relatable stories
THE CHALLENGEComedy Rebirth Rags to Riches Tragedy The Quest Overcoming the Monster Voyage and Return ndash these seven plot archetypes can be seen at work everywhere from global news stories to the smallest interaction (see Christopher Bookerrsquos The Seven Basic Plots Why We Tell Stories for a better idea of what these archetypes involve)
Pick three of the seven archetypes and create a static or moving image for each one that tells a story from the modern world Look to unexpected places find the dramatic in the seemingly banal the emotion and humanity that underlies the routine of our daily lives In a fast-moving digital world having the time and space to unfold a story is a luxury not often available How do you distil the essence of it down to something that can be captured in a single moment
WHO ITrsquoS FORTherersquos no target demographic for this brief but consider how and why your images might be used The audience will
come from the tales you choose the stories you decide to tell and how you tell them
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You only have one image for each
archetype one shot to encapsulate a story If you go for moving image each of your three films should only be between 10 and 20 seconds long
bull Your images video snippets should work in isolation but also together Yoursquoll be asked for a short description which the judges may view but your images should be able to speak for themselves without it
bull Will you embody or subvert your archetypes Donrsquot be too literal avoid cliche and obvious imagery
bull Your image should be powerful and impactful even at a glance but have the depth to reward closer inspection and repeated viewing Novelty isnrsquot enough
bull All image-making approaches are welcome across illustration photography and moving image hand-crafted to computer generated lo-fi to high-tech
bull Be authentic Your stories can be fact or fiction but they need to be genuine if theyrsquore going to mean anything to people
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Three images or video snippets each
telling a powerful visual storybull A 30 second video explaining your
process and the background to your work (use voiceovers and or subtitles but donrsquot talk directly to camera)
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined

(10-20 seconds each MPEGMOV)bull One background video (30 seconds

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND The Telegraph is one of the UKrsquos oldest newspapers Loved and trusted by its readership it takes an editorial stance best described as lsquoby those who know their own minds for those who know their own mindsrsquo
Like the British Museum The Telegraph looks traditional on the outside but its insides are more modern and relevant than appearances suggest Itrsquos an intelligent read often humorous occasionally quirky And it has a more balanced take on the world than many people might think
The Telegraph has long been regarded as a brand for older readers But within that much of their journalism cuts across age groups ndash and even political orientation
There is humour in the news pages and story selection Throughout its history The Telegraph has teamed serious reporting and analysis with popular news coverage
Equally many of The Telegraphrsquos established positions resonate with millennials who may not most easily identify with the brand enterprise personal betterment self-reliance independence
THE CHALLENGEThe Telegraph wants to use digital to prove its appeal to readers of any age How can you get them to reconsider what it offers What ideas might turn the heads of open-minded people who are looking for a different kind of news provider What might inspire them to try a Telegraph
Develop an innovative digital solution to get a younger audience to think again about The Telegraph The solution does not necessarily have to focus on lsquonewsrsquo but can look at the broad range of content The Telegraph offers
WHO ITrsquoS FORPeople of working age who know their own minds They do what they want when they want and are looking for a paper that reflects this attitude
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The Telegraph has always stood up for
a plucky almost bloody-minded form of Britishness It appeals to people
who sometimes enjoy taking an obstinate sideways view of life just for the hell of it How might you champion this to find new readers
bull Community comments on news sites appeal only to a hardcore audience and are difficult for most users to engage with How could a news organisation engage with its readers in a more constructive way and create a community around its coverage How does newsgathering change when everyone has a camera and a voice
bull Context most news stories are new twists on long running sagas How should reporting reflect this How should it cater for expert readers who know the story inside out and have strong opinions alongside a reader who is new to it all and wants to get their bearings
bull Definitions of left- and right-wing are now more open to interpretation than ever Even the Conservative Party is pushing for reforms in prison policy social justice and racial discrimination traditionally the territory of the left And therersquos more to a reader than the paper they buy people are often more complex and interesting than theyrsquore given credit for Even those who are held to be on the right can have surprising views and interests We all have common ground we can meet on ndash how might The Telegraph use this
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA digital product or service design to bring The Telegraph to a wider audiencebull Show the user experience or content
scenario eg with a storyboardbull Visualise your concept eg through
illustrations renders video etcbull Include a summary of key insights
from your research bull Show who the product is for

BACKGROUNDSince 1961 WWF has worked to reduce the impact of humanityrsquos footprint on the environment and promote biodiversity conservation Their stated mission is ldquoto stop the degradation of the planetrsquos natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with naturerdquo
Through a legacy of hard-hitting awareness-driving campaigns they have become the best-known non-governmental organisation working in this field Theyrsquore also by some way the worldrsquos largest conservation organisation with over 5 million supporters worldwide working in more than 100 countries
WWFrsquos members are essential to the organisation for both funding and support so engaging and recruiting members is crucial to their efforts Members not only pay monthly subscriptions but also serve as a highly receptive lsquomailing listrsquo who can be drawn on for specific campaigns But right now the benefits members and contributors get are limited Currently members simply pay a subscription and receive three magazines a year And this lack of involvement feels like a missed opportunity especially among a younger audience who expect and desire more involvement in the causes they commit themselves to
THE CHALLENGEHow can WWF turn their members into the worldrsquos most active global conservation community How can they modernise their membership and enable their existing supporter base to become more active
Design an innovative membership offering to galvanise existing members to action and drive the recruitment of new ones
WHO ITrsquoS FORThe audience is global Both existing WWF members and potential ones The core target audience is 25-40 years old but your concept should also to appeal to 16-25 year olds
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about empowering a
community but itrsquos also about trying to bring others into that community So be provocative be inventive but be
relevant bull Are there any partnerships WWF could
put into place that would help take the activity to the next level
bull Think about value exchange Do members simply give money or could their commitment shift to involve time expertise or reach (GoodGym or RockCorps are great examples of communities whose members commit something other than money)
bull This is an open brief so itrsquos up to you how you approach the challenge Do you shake up the membership package itself to make it more dynamic and engaging Is it a comms campaign that motivates members into action Is it a service that links members up with conservation opportunities
bull You choose the platform Consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms social media apps PR product experience and anything else that makes sense to you
bull Whatever your solution it needs to work both digitally and in the real world on and offline
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A product service or campaign idea to
turn young WWF members into an active conservation community
bull Document and show your research and how you developed your ideas
Where you need to use the WWF logo in your work use the special WWF x DampAD logo included in the brief pack Do not use the standard WWF logo

All Pencil winners get to apply for the ultimate prize a place on the 2016 New Blood Academy
See dandadorgnew-blood-awards for more on what winning looks like
BACKGROUNDAmnesty International is the worldrsquos oldest and biggest global human rights organisation This is one of its greatest assets as it is a very well known trusted and powerful organisation However itrsquos also one of its downfalls where Amnesty used to have a strong student and young people following today it feels out-dated and out of touch
The core barrier to people engaging with Amnesty is that they donrsquot see human rights as very relevant to their lives To tackle this barrier theyrsquove newly defined their brand ethos as Taking Injustice Personally Theyrsquoll build their brand strategy and communications on this principle
Taking injustice personally means not turning a blind eye just because itrsquos happening to someone else somewhere else It means truly caring about anotherrsquos human rights violation because it doesnrsquot matter where this is happening geographically itrsquos happening to another human and that is what makes it close to you It means feeling that what hurts another human being also hurts you
THE CHALLENGELaunch Taking Injustice Personally with a strategy a big idea and creative executions
Itrsquos up to you how you do this It could be a campaign to bring to life the meaning of Taking Injustice Personally for the target audience and help them to see Amnesty International as the way to do something about it Or it could be something that empowers or activates the audience to take injustive personally themselves in a real and meaningful way
WHO ITrsquoS FOR18-25 year olds who have heard of Amnesty International but donrsquot understand what the organisation does or how they can help They care about people and the world that they live in but find they are too busy and preoccupied to do anything about it These young people are unable to give much money but can lsquogiversquo in other ways eg time or advocacy
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALAn integrated campaign and launch concept that consider all communication channels relevant to the idea (eg print digital experiential socialhellip) Itrsquos up to you to decide the most suitable touchpoints for your concept ndash but you need more than one and you must include a digital element
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Present your solution using either a video (max 2 mins) or up to eight presentation slide images

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND First broadcast in 1984 Crimewatch features reconstructions wanted faces and CCTV in order to help solve some of the UKrsquos biggest cases
With the latest crime news and exclusive investigations Crimewatch is established as British televisionrsquos highest profile crime programme
Since its launch Crimewatch has featured over 5000 appeals and has developed a strong and regular viewership The BBC is now looking to build on the current digital offering elevating it from simply supporting the television programme to being an extension of the brand
THE CHALLENGECrimewatch is live lsquoeventrsquo television which airs every 5-6 weeks ndash it doesnrsquot have a regular slot And itrsquos only available for catch-up viewing on iPlayer for 24 hours after transmission How can the BBC maintain engagement outside broadcasts Crime happens all the time Crimewatch should too
At the moment digital reiterates and supports the programmersquos content The BBC want to create a digital solution thatrsquos part of the Crimewatch experience that leverages and enhances the existing Crimewatch offering How can they best maintain the live action momentum of the programme and create a compelling relationship between television and digital
WHO ITrsquoS FORCrimewatch has a diverse audience and your solution needs to consider this Notably it reaches more younger BAME (Black Asian and Minority Ethnic) and less affluent audiences than the average BBC One factual programme Female viewers also outnumber male ones
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This brief is about thoughtful service
design rather than a whole new product You donrsquot necessarily need to create a new platform from scratch ndash you might find a better solution using existing ones Think strategically how can you leverage the power of technology and existing platforms and apply it in fresh engaging ways
bull Consider audience behaviour and routines What touchpoints platforms
or technologies are they already using Donrsquot feel confined to BBC platforms how can the Crimewatch brand extend and translate into other spaces
bull Could you expand the idea beyond digital Think more than just another app or website ndash how does this translate into the outside world
bull How do you raise Crimewatchrsquos profile given irregular scheduling and lack of promotion
bull Can digital enhance the live broadcast as well as bridging the gap between live shows
bull Could you incorporate elements of storytelling to make the audience part of the Crimewatch experience Crimewatch has always been an inherently interactive experience People just picked up their phones in the pre-internet days So this kind of viewer immersion isnrsquot new to the brand
bull Crime can happen to anyone How could digital platforms help turn Crimewatch from a national television programme to a localised relevant and personal experience
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Clearly explain how yoursquove arrived at
your solutionbull Articulate how you might use available
technologiesbull Visualise your concept eg through
illustrations renders video etc bull Include a summary of key insights
from your research
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Present your solution and research using either a video (max 90 seconds) with narration or subtitles or up to eight presentation slide images

FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE
Brief set byDampAD
In collaboration with JON KALLUS GREY LONDON
BACKGROUND You said you wanted to work in an industry thatrsquos brave Itrsquos time to make it so
Last year DampAD asked 50 young creatives from all over the world what they wanted most from the industry they were about to step into One of the most common recurring virtues Bravery (See the others at wwwdandadorgd-ad-foundationgameplan)
Bravery is also one of the most prevalent characteristics of Pencil-winning creative work This makes sense Itrsquos tough to reach originality without a healthy dose of fearlessness Moreover in the context of rapid technological development no one can let the fear of trying something new keep them tied to old ways or means DampADrsquos mission is to celebrate and inspire the best commercial creative work in the world This brief is your chance to help spur on the people who make that great work both now and in the future
THE CHALLENGEDesign an enterprise service or product that will spark a surge in courage to benefit the creative industries
Think about what bravery means to the creative industries Then consider how yoursquoll stir creatives to push boundaries stand up for their ideas or indeed even failhellip and then learn from that failure and ultimately use it to establish a more courageous creative practice
WHO ITrsquoS FORThe target is open Who do you think would benefit most from an injection of creative courage Itrsquos up to you but be specific and clearly outline who your audience is and their relevance to the creative industries in your presentation
Think beyond those already working in commercial creativity What about those gearing up to enter the industry Or the people teaching the next generation of creative superstars Itrsquos OK to focus on long-lasting change for the future over immediate impact on the creative industries if thatrsquos where your idea takes you
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Be brave yourselves obviously but be
realistic Submit something that could
actually come to life Or just do it It is enough to show a well thought out simply articulated vision of what your submission could become However actually starting something for real and presenting the results is even better
bull Show off your creativity In addition to inspiring others your venture has to say something about you as a creator and your creative skills
bull Be open-minded Your venture could be anything a company a social enterprise a service a game a book or an app Pop ups products or parties count too As long as it promotes creative courage
bull You can do this This is a big open brief But please remember that the best ideas in the world can begin with something as simple as filling a blank sheet with thought starters
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Keep it simple By all means envision
all of the mechanics of how your idea would work in the real world But then bring them to life in a compelling simple and visual way
bull Design matters Once you know what your enterprise service or product does show what it looks sounds and feels like Prove that yoursquove thought about and considered the brand identity and how and where yoursquoll connect with your audience
bull Think deeply execute visually Dissect your idea Interrogate both how and why you plan to do things
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs Work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)A presentation film (2 min max) outlining your idea Please donrsquot forget that max means max If you can get your idea across in less time which you always can do so Get the judgesrsquo attention by outlining the project simply clearly and engagingly Optional supporting materialThe judges will only consider the following optional supporting material if your main presentation film has impressed up to four still images interactive work (sites widgets apps etc) physical material (product prototypes site mockups etc)
IN IT TO WIN IT
bull For this brief winning comes with the chance to work with both DampAD and industry mentors to help bring your idea to life

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND We live in a fragmented digital world so tribes and subcultures donrsquot exist around music and locations anymore (Mods on Carnaby Street Punks on Kings Roadhellip) So how can Dr Martens retain its USP of non-conformist authenticity and rebellious self-expression whilst trying to appeal and remain relevant to a broader base of millennials living in a fast-paced digital mix-and-match society
Radio is ideally placed to rise to this challenge At its best radio is all about authenticity of music sound and voice Listeners are hugely sensitive to genuine content and live radio in particular champions expressiveness and inclusiveness Radio interacts neatly with other channels (you can listen to the radio while you do almost anything) And it has the power to unite people through shared cultural experiences and influence our emotions ndash especially through music (something thatrsquos very relevant to the heritage of Dr Martens)
THE CHALLENGEHarness radiorsquos potential to connect customers old and new with Dr Martensrsquo spirit of rebellious self-expression Use its power to evolve the brandrsquos current platform What do you stand for STANDFORSOMETHINGblogdrmartenscomcategorystandforsomething
Experiment with and push the boundaries of what radio advertising can be Your response could be anything from innovative explorations of radio and its role in our lives (eg K9FM) to original perfectly crafted playful ads or branded content
WHO ITrsquoS FORProud and passionate life-long fans of the brand as well as new customers ndash anyone who can identify with Dr Martensrsquo celebration of authenticity and self-expression Theyrsquore not from any particular tribe or demographic Instead theyrsquore focused on individual style yet all share a united spirit
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about innovative use of radio
what you include in the campaign is up to you It could be a single piece of branded content a series of seemingly traditional 30rdquo ads that builds to something bigger than the sum of its
parts a new way to engage with live music and festivals that Dr Martens can own and champion something that reaches people at work or play driving or jogging pre-recorded and scheduled or live and disruptive
bull Radio lives or dies by its use of sound and the strength of its writing So as well as a great concept the judges will be looking for brilliantly crafted copy to bring the idea to life (and feel free to include a beautifully executed sound-design accompaniment if thatrsquos also relevant to your concept)
bull Consider how radio can interact and link with other channels and platforms for an integrated campaign particularly social media Think where when and how listeners engage with radio But radio must be at the heart and soul of your concept not just a signpost to online activity
bull Traditionally radio tends to be used for spots with direct calls-to-action but it can do so much more This brief is about brand building so therersquos no CTA you must include (though you can if it makes sense for your concept)
bull Donrsquot simply extend the current campaign into radio itrsquos about evolving STANDFORSOMETHING into something new bold and exciting
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALTherersquos no mandatory CTA but your response should reference the current brand platform including the question lsquoWhat do you stand forrsquo or the strapline STANDFORSOMETHING
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Submit any scripts as written text-only PDFs (max 6 A4 pages) If you have multiple scripts submit each one as a separate PDF
Supporting material (optional)The judges will only look at this if your main deliverable has impressed

Ford currently has 25 live global mobility experiments underway designed to anticipate what we will want and need in tomorrowrsquos transportation ecosystem They want to be part of the solution
If every epic journey starts with a small first step every cultural shift starts with being open to new ideas and together doing something small to change attitude and behaviour at scale Ford are looking to move people en masse to engage with new and experimental travel solutions and sustainably change the way the world moves
THE CHALLENGEUse Ford as a catalyst to create lasting city-wide change to how we get around Follow these steps to find your solution

BACKGROUND John Lewis has been part of the British High Street for 150 years Over that time the retail landscape has transformed immeasurably with the biggest shake-up coming from online shopping While business is booming at JohnLewiscom the internet isnrsquot everything Customers often have a strong emotional bond with the physical shopping experience ndash one that starts before they even walk through the door
A window display in a bricks-and-mortar store is a powerful touchpoint And in our ultra-sharing world a strong window campaign can become the ultimate image to share on social Itrsquos why yoursquoll see online-only stores launching pop-up shops and holding experiential events theyrsquore trying to tap in to that level of connection and authenticity that comes from having a real physical presence for their consumers to engage with
But whatrsquos in store for window displays as the way we buy continues to change
THE CHALLENGECreate an inspiring inventive conceptually relevant and eye-catching display for John Lewisrsquo flagship Oxford Street store for the Autumn season that reshapes expectations of what shop windows do and can be but keeps product firmly at its heart

retail and the high street How will the way we shop evolve and what role will the shop window play Look at insights into shopping habits and consumer behaviour think about the shopper of the future and what would make this window moment pertinent to
their needs emotions and desiresbull The display is for the Autumn season
how will this affect your responsebull The approach is up to you Is it an
immersive and inventive take on traditional window setting a bold graphic reinterpretation of the space a cutting-edge digital interaction or all or none of the above Does it stand alone or link to other media (eg website app or social)
bull Think about everything from how to engage the senses or bring in elements of storytelling to potential collaborations (you could propose an amazing artist or illustrator to work with for maximum visual impact) The scope is limitless
bull Your window should tempt passers-by into the store and prompt consumers to visit who otherwise might have stayed at home Create something thatrsquos worth getting off the sofa for and blogging or sharing on social media

long 12m deepbull The window must show that John
Lewis is a cross-category brand including electronics fashion and home goods
bull Whether or not your concept includes actual digital elements it must include a link to JohnLewiscom to bring together the digital and physical sides of the business You must also include the John Lewis brand logo
bull With a canvas of this scale and exposure imagination is key Visualise your idea in detail how would it look sound and feel What will it do and how What would the experience of seeing or interacting with it be like

BACKGROUNDDesign has the power to do good but to achieve this you need the courage to believe in what you have to say the conviction to tell it and the clarity to communicate it
Monotype creates typefaces and technologies that help people tell their storymdashin any language on any device and with a clear voice
THE CHALLENGETake a cause you believe in and use the power of type to make a difference Design with typography to agitate educate and organise the world and your audience Use typography to help people believe in your cause and its purpose to motivate and inspire people in a relevant way to your cause and above all to make an impact
Typography is the soapbox for your rallying cry Used at its best it can empower your words evoke meaning set tone and inspire ideas Without it your message could be drowned out Where would the students in Paris of rsquo68 be without their screenprinted stencil type Where would Revolutionary Russia be without its condensed sans serif gothics And would Occupy have inspired the collective imagination without democratic digital design and lsquodesktop publishingrsquo The right typeface used in the right way gives a cause movement or change its true voice
Think about what you want to say and how you want to say it where you should or could say it how you might use type to improve your message to initiate change or to motivate and inspire
WHO ITrsquoS FORThose passionate about a cause those who want to be more passionate about a cause or those with ideas on how a cause can reach more people or be more impactful with the right typeface
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You can pick anything from a global
topic to a local or personal issuebull Think about the world of your cause
and those already active within it What means do they have to join you Do they have digital access or would a predominantly analogue response be more fitting What materials are related to the cause What methods
bull Think about the right typeface for the
right cause The typeface itself can become part of the message or the story ndash its origins its history and how you choose to use it ndash as much as or more than the words themselves
bull Design for protest can be visceral as response time is short Protest is both active and reactive By its nature its messages are often hurried scrawled and raw This translates digitally too into transmissions that are often quick and immediate How does this affect your cause or movement What kind of typeface would suit this type of messaging How would a typeface enhance its impact
bull Remember your end goal Make it bold Make it powerful Make a difference
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA typography-led integrated graphic design campaign including bull At least one posterbull At least one digital elementbull At least one other touchpoint
Your touchpoints could include banners badges moving image ads newspaper ads website banners or other online promotions ndash anything that could raise awareness and get people engaged The more innovative the better
bull Show how your output is relevant to your cause alongside your execution
bull Whatever applications you choose use only type as the major creative expression for your cause
bull Your executions must be visually linked to one another so that they can be easily recognised as part of the same movement

BACKGROUNDBanking ndash itrsquos not everyonersquos favourite task But undeniably in a world where the economic state is uncertain and rates rise and fall it is important to know your money
Nationwide are a mutual building society meaning they are owned by and run for the benefit of their members Unlike a bank they donrsquot exist to line shareholdersrsquo pockets ndash instead at the heart of their business and their existence is the commitment to being on the side of their members in the long- and short-term helping them achieve financial goals
The current financial climate often hits the youngest of the population the hardest with savings rates low and the costs of living high we need now to re-engage with the 16-25 year old audience This generation expects more than ever from their service providers With services like Airbnb and Uber changing the way we view and engage with providers consumers are used to cheaper prices seamless experiences and on-demand customer service 247 ndash and why should their bank be any different
THE CHALLENGEWith financial services lagging behind in terms of connecting with this age group how can we shake up the market to cater to their ever-changing needs
Redefine banking for a student youth audience Forget what banking looks like now and our current expectations from financial service providers throw out the rule-book for what a bank account does how it does it and what it looks like
This is an open brief you could look at redesigning the bank account itself from a product and service perspective or you could revolutionise the sector with a completely new communication approach You choose the platform and consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms the in-store banking experience social media apps PR product and anything else that makes sense to you
WHO ITrsquoS FOR16-25 year olds This young and financially un-committed population have likely just moved out of their parental household and are venturing
into the world to start their own adventures They are savvy about the brands they choose and value transparency and ethics brands who offer experiences and flawless service win over this cohort
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider how Nationwidersquos brand
position and unique stance as a mutual rather than a bank may play a part in a solution for engaging this age group Could the idea of supporting our members over generations be appealing
bull Think about the goals and mindset of people of this age group ndash what are they trying to achieve What are their challenges How could Nationwide help them achieve their goals
bull Think about brands which connect well with this age group What values does this age group care about
bull Donrsquot just think about what financial services already do and try to plug this generation into it Donrsquot be limited by current products or ways of banking Itrsquos all up for creative exploration
bull Think about what this generation want and need from a financial service provider (even if they donrsquot know it yet) and find a way for Nationwide to deliver that
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A concept that changes the face of
banking for young peoplebull Document and show your research
and how you developed your ideas This could be through a lsquomaking ofrsquo video or something simpler

But this isnrsquot always recognised People have lost confidence in newspapers as print circulations have declined and theyrsquore no longer seen as a ldquomust haverdquo medium for advertisers The scale nature and value of their audience engagement is often misunderstood
THE CHALLENGEFacts figures and research alone may prove the value of newspaper advertising But how do you go beyond them to make advertisers believe They need to feel instinctively the trust audiences place in the words they read in newspapers And they need to understand how and why to tap into this
So create a campaign using newsbrands as your channel that brings to life the importance and power of the written word in an age of digital overload and fleeting attention
WHO ITrsquoS FORTarget media agencies (particularly young media planners who think that people donrsquot read newspapers anymore) as well as clients creative agencies media journalists and influencers But the campaign is to be run through national newsbrands so the secondary audience is any engaged reader WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The challenge is about the power of
the written word so copy is likely to be at the heart of your campaign The delivery and context need to do the copy justice and bring it to life so consider the most impactful visual approach to get your message across typography illustration photography infographics use of motion (for digital platforms) anything else appropriate
bull The digital and print formats you use are up to you as long as theyrsquore relevant to a newsbrand platform Eg tablet and phone based ads video and interactive traditional print adspace inserts wraps or supplements sponsored content etc
bull Newsworksrsquo website is full of facts figures research and insights Take full advantage of this an imaginative and compelling take on the numbers could be a powerful way to communicate your message bringing fresh thinking to the insights could lead you to a whole new way to engage with a newsbrand audiencehellip
bull Think how you could evolve your response to include things like membership or events ndash plus any future platforms that newsbrands could or should occupy where trust and engagement really matter
bull Your concept should work with any and all of Newsworksrsquo stakeholders But would your campaign be the same no matter the newsbrand or might the delivery change across different titles
bull Your audiencersquos time is precious How will you engage them and reward their engagement And what are the challenges of targeting an audience for whom advertising and marcomms are their bread and butter
bull Look at how newspapers use both words and pictures to tell a story Think about how headlines draw attention or make a more powerful point Remember that ads need to stand out against this compelling editorial ndash make sure your pictures arenrsquot boring or your words bland
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA campaign with a minimum of three different executions with at least one based on a digital newsbrand platform and at least one to run in print
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined

BACKGROUNDldquoStories make us what we are remind us of when wersquore at our worst and celebrate our absolute human best For me itrsquos the only way to communicaterdquo Dan Germain Head of Creative innocent
Stories are one of the oldest and most fundamental forms of communication and ways of understanding culture history and people They can help us understand who we are who we were and what we could become They can connect to our emotional core and give meaning to the world around us
For brands stories are a way to build deeper ties with an audience Storytelling can help to give brands authenticity humanity and relevance People will engage with share and respond to narrative in a way they never would with other marketing messages
Shutterstock is a global marketplace of licensable stock content for creative professionals Their photos illustrations videos music clips and other content move brands transform marketing and bring creative ideas to life And they know that the most impactful imagery is not just beautifully crafted it also evokes real moments and interactions and relatable stories
THE CHALLENGEComedy Rebirth Rags to Riches Tragedy The Quest Overcoming the Monster Voyage and Return ndash these seven plot archetypes can be seen at work everywhere from global news stories to the smallest interaction (see Christopher Bookerrsquos The Seven Basic Plots Why We Tell Stories for a better idea of what these archetypes involve)
Pick three of the seven archetypes and create a static or moving image for each one that tells a story from the modern world Look to unexpected places find the dramatic in the seemingly banal the emotion and humanity that underlies the routine of our daily lives In a fast-moving digital world having the time and space to unfold a story is a luxury not often available How do you distil the essence of it down to something that can be captured in a single moment
WHO ITrsquoS FORTherersquos no target demographic for this brief but consider how and why your images might be used The audience will
come from the tales you choose the stories you decide to tell and how you tell them
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You only have one image for each

bull Your images video snippets should work in isolation but also together Yoursquoll be asked for a short description which the judges may view but your images should be able to speak for themselves without it
bull Will you embody or subvert your archetypes Donrsquot be too literal avoid cliche and obvious imagery
bull Your image should be powerful and impactful even at a glance but have the depth to reward closer inspection and repeated viewing Novelty isnrsquot enough
bull All image-making approaches are welcome across illustration photography and moving image hand-crafted to computer generated lo-fi to high-tech
bull Be authentic Your stories can be fact or fiction but they need to be genuine if theyrsquore going to mean anything to people
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Three images or video snippets each
telling a powerful visual storybull A 30 second video explaining your
process and the background to your work (use voiceovers and or subtitles but donrsquot talk directly to camera)

BACKGROUND The Telegraph is one of the UKrsquos oldest newspapers Loved and trusted by its readership it takes an editorial stance best described as lsquoby those who know their own minds for those who know their own mindsrsquo
Like the British Museum The Telegraph looks traditional on the outside but its insides are more modern and relevant than appearances suggest Itrsquos an intelligent read often humorous occasionally quirky And it has a more balanced take on the world than many people might think
The Telegraph has long been regarded as a brand for older readers But within that much of their journalism cuts across age groups ndash and even political orientation
There is humour in the news pages and story selection Throughout its history The Telegraph has teamed serious reporting and analysis with popular news coverage
Equally many of The Telegraphrsquos established positions resonate with millennials who may not most easily identify with the brand enterprise personal betterment self-reliance independence
THE CHALLENGEThe Telegraph wants to use digital to prove its appeal to readers of any age How can you get them to reconsider what it offers What ideas might turn the heads of open-minded people who are looking for a different kind of news provider What might inspire them to try a Telegraph
Develop an innovative digital solution to get a younger audience to think again about The Telegraph The solution does not necessarily have to focus on lsquonewsrsquo but can look at the broad range of content The Telegraph offers
WHO ITrsquoS FORPeople of working age who know their own minds They do what they want when they want and are looking for a paper that reflects this attitude
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The Telegraph has always stood up for
a plucky almost bloody-minded form of Britishness It appeals to people
who sometimes enjoy taking an obstinate sideways view of life just for the hell of it How might you champion this to find new readers
bull Community comments on news sites appeal only to a hardcore audience and are difficult for most users to engage with How could a news organisation engage with its readers in a more constructive way and create a community around its coverage How does newsgathering change when everyone has a camera and a voice
bull Context most news stories are new twists on long running sagas How should reporting reflect this How should it cater for expert readers who know the story inside out and have strong opinions alongside a reader who is new to it all and wants to get their bearings
bull Definitions of left- and right-wing are now more open to interpretation than ever Even the Conservative Party is pushing for reforms in prison policy social justice and racial discrimination traditionally the territory of the left And therersquos more to a reader than the paper they buy people are often more complex and interesting than theyrsquore given credit for Even those who are held to be on the right can have surprising views and interests We all have common ground we can meet on ndash how might The Telegraph use this
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA digital product or service design to bring The Telegraph to a wider audiencebull Show the user experience or content
scenario eg with a storyboardbull Visualise your concept eg through
illustrations renders video etcbull Include a summary of key insights
from your research bull Show who the product is for

BACKGROUNDSince 1961 WWF has worked to reduce the impact of humanityrsquos footprint on the environment and promote biodiversity conservation Their stated mission is ldquoto stop the degradation of the planetrsquos natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with naturerdquo
Through a legacy of hard-hitting awareness-driving campaigns they have become the best-known non-governmental organisation working in this field Theyrsquore also by some way the worldrsquos largest conservation organisation with over 5 million supporters worldwide working in more than 100 countries
WWFrsquos members are essential to the organisation for both funding and support so engaging and recruiting members is crucial to their efforts Members not only pay monthly subscriptions but also serve as a highly receptive lsquomailing listrsquo who can be drawn on for specific campaigns But right now the benefits members and contributors get are limited Currently members simply pay a subscription and receive three magazines a year And this lack of involvement feels like a missed opportunity especially among a younger audience who expect and desire more involvement in the causes they commit themselves to
THE CHALLENGEHow can WWF turn their members into the worldrsquos most active global conservation community How can they modernise their membership and enable their existing supporter base to become more active
Design an innovative membership offering to galvanise existing members to action and drive the recruitment of new ones
WHO ITrsquoS FORThe audience is global Both existing WWF members and potential ones The core target audience is 25-40 years old but your concept should also to appeal to 16-25 year olds
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about empowering a
community but itrsquos also about trying to bring others into that community So be provocative be inventive but be
relevant bull Are there any partnerships WWF could
put into place that would help take the activity to the next level
bull Think about value exchange Do members simply give money or could their commitment shift to involve time expertise or reach (GoodGym or RockCorps are great examples of communities whose members commit something other than money)
bull This is an open brief so itrsquos up to you how you approach the challenge Do you shake up the membership package itself to make it more dynamic and engaging Is it a comms campaign that motivates members into action Is it a service that links members up with conservation opportunities
bull You choose the platform Consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms social media apps PR product experience and anything else that makes sense to you
bull Whatever your solution it needs to work both digitally and in the real world on and offline
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A product service or campaign idea to

bull Itrsquos fine to include a voiceover speaking over footage but to keep judging fair and unbiased donrsquot include footage where you talk directly to camera
bull Focus on the creative idea and its relevance to the audiencebull You donrsquot need to make it elaborate and fancy Simple films with a clearly presented idea are just as effective bull If yoursquore trying to demonstrate an idea using mock-ups and screenshots clearly show how it would work

IN IT TO WIN IT
All Pencil winners get to apply for the ultimate prize a place on the 2016 New Blood Academy
See dandadorgnew-blood-awards for more on what winning looks like
BACKGROUNDAmnesty International is the worldrsquos oldest and biggest global human rights organisation This is one of its greatest assets as it is a very well known trusted and powerful organisation However itrsquos also one of its downfalls where Amnesty used to have a strong student and young people following today it feels out-dated and out of touch
The core barrier to people engaging with Amnesty is that they donrsquot see human rights as very relevant to their lives To tackle this barrier theyrsquove newly defined their brand ethos as Taking Injustice Personally Theyrsquoll build their brand strategy and communications on this principle
Taking injustice personally means not turning a blind eye just because itrsquos happening to someone else somewhere else It means truly caring about anotherrsquos human rights violation because it doesnrsquot matter where this is happening geographically itrsquos happening to another human and that is what makes it close to you It means feeling that what hurts another human being also hurts you
THE CHALLENGELaunch Taking Injustice Personally with a strategy a big idea and creative executions
Itrsquos up to you how you do this It could be a campaign to bring to life the meaning of Taking Injustice Personally for the target audience and help them to see Amnesty International as the way to do something about it Or it could be something that empowers or activates the audience to take injustive personally themselves in a real and meaningful way
WHO ITrsquoS FOR18-25 year olds who have heard of Amnesty International but donrsquot understand what the organisation does or how they can help They care about people and the world that they live in but find they are too busy and preoccupied to do anything about it These young people are unable to give much money but can lsquogiversquo in other ways eg time or advocacy
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALAn integrated campaign and launch concept that consider all communication channels relevant to the idea (eg print digital experiential socialhellip) Itrsquos up to you to decide the most suitable touchpoints for your concept ndash but you need more than one and you must include a digital element
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Present your solution using either a video (max 2 mins) or up to eight presentation slide images
Supporting material (optional)The judges will only look at this if your main deliverable has impressed This could include executions or mock-ups of your solution or show your process and the development of your idea
You can submit the following as optional supporting material interactive work (websites widgets apps HTML etc) physical material (prototypes mockups etc) If your main deliverable is video you can also submit up to four images If your main deliverable is images you can also submit video (max 1 min)
DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND First broadcast in 1984 Crimewatch features reconstructions wanted faces and CCTV in order to help solve some of the UKrsquos biggest cases
With the latest crime news and exclusive investigations Crimewatch is established as British televisionrsquos highest profile crime programme
Since its launch Crimewatch has featured over 5000 appeals and has developed a strong and regular viewership The BBC is now looking to build on the current digital offering elevating it from simply supporting the television programme to being an extension of the brand
THE CHALLENGECrimewatch is live lsquoeventrsquo television which airs every 5-6 weeks ndash it doesnrsquot have a regular slot And itrsquos only available for catch-up viewing on iPlayer for 24 hours after transmission How can the BBC maintain engagement outside broadcasts Crime happens all the time Crimewatch should too
At the moment digital reiterates and supports the programmersquos content The BBC want to create a digital solution thatrsquos part of the Crimewatch experience that leverages and enhances the existing Crimewatch offering How can they best maintain the live action momentum of the programme and create a compelling relationship between television and digital
WHO ITrsquoS FORCrimewatch has a diverse audience and your solution needs to consider this Notably it reaches more younger BAME (Black Asian and Minority Ethnic) and less affluent audiences than the average BBC One factual programme Female viewers also outnumber male ones
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This brief is about thoughtful service
design rather than a whole new product You donrsquot necessarily need to create a new platform from scratch ndash you might find a better solution using existing ones Think strategically how can you leverage the power of technology and existing platforms and apply it in fresh engaging ways
bull Consider audience behaviour and routines What touchpoints platforms
or technologies are they already using Donrsquot feel confined to BBC platforms how can the Crimewatch brand extend and translate into other spaces
bull Could you expand the idea beyond digital Think more than just another app or website ndash how does this translate into the outside world
bull How do you raise Crimewatchrsquos profile given irregular scheduling and lack of promotion
bull Can digital enhance the live broadcast as well as bridging the gap between live shows
bull Could you incorporate elements of storytelling to make the audience part of the Crimewatch experience Crimewatch has always been an inherently interactive experience People just picked up their phones in the pre-internet days So this kind of viewer immersion isnrsquot new to the brand
bull Crime can happen to anyone How could digital platforms help turn Crimewatch from a national television programme to a localised relevant and personal experience
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Clearly explain how yoursquove arrived at
your solutionbull Articulate how you might use available
technologiesbull Visualise your concept eg through
illustrations renders video etc bull Include a summary of key insights
from your research
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Present your solution and research using either a video (max 90 seconds) with narration or subtitles or up to eight presentation slide images
Supporting material (optional)The judges will only look at this if your main deliverable has impressed You can submit interactive work (eg prototypes of your solution) as supporting materialDandADNewBlood

FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE
Brief set byDampAD
In collaboration with JON KALLUS GREY LONDON
BACKGROUND You said you wanted to work in an industry thatrsquos brave Itrsquos time to make it so
Last year DampAD asked 50 young creatives from all over the world what they wanted most from the industry they were about to step into One of the most common recurring virtues Bravery (See the others at wwwdandadorgd-ad-foundationgameplan)
Bravery is also one of the most prevalent characteristics of Pencil-winning creative work This makes sense Itrsquos tough to reach originality without a healthy dose of fearlessness Moreover in the context of rapid technological development no one can let the fear of trying something new keep them tied to old ways or means DampADrsquos mission is to celebrate and inspire the best commercial creative work in the world This brief is your chance to help spur on the people who make that great work both now and in the future
THE CHALLENGEDesign an enterprise service or product that will spark a surge in courage to benefit the creative industries
Think about what bravery means to the creative industries Then consider how yoursquoll stir creatives to push boundaries stand up for their ideas or indeed even failhellip and then learn from that failure and ultimately use it to establish a more courageous creative practice
WHO ITrsquoS FORThe target is open Who do you think would benefit most from an injection of creative courage Itrsquos up to you but be specific and clearly outline who your audience is and their relevance to the creative industries in your presentation
Think beyond those already working in commercial creativity What about those gearing up to enter the industry Or the people teaching the next generation of creative superstars Itrsquos OK to focus on long-lasting change for the future over immediate impact on the creative industries if thatrsquos where your idea takes you
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Be brave yourselves obviously but be
realistic Submit something that could

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND We live in a fragmented digital world so tribes and subcultures donrsquot exist around music and locations anymore (Mods on Carnaby Street Punks on Kings Roadhellip) So how can Dr Martens retain its USP of non-conformist authenticity and rebellious self-expression whilst trying to appeal and remain relevant to a broader base of millennials living in a fast-paced digital mix-and-match society
Radio is ideally placed to rise to this challenge At its best radio is all about authenticity of music sound and voice Listeners are hugely sensitive to genuine content and live radio in particular champions expressiveness and inclusiveness Radio interacts neatly with other channels (you can listen to the radio while you do almost anything) And it has the power to unite people through shared cultural experiences and influence our emotions ndash especially through music (something thatrsquos very relevant to the heritage of Dr Martens)
THE CHALLENGEHarness radiorsquos potential to connect customers old and new with Dr Martensrsquo spirit of rebellious self-expression Use its power to evolve the brandrsquos current platform What do you stand for STANDFORSOMETHINGblogdrmartenscomcategorystandforsomething
Experiment with and push the boundaries of what radio advertising can be Your response could be anything from innovative explorations of radio and its role in our lives (eg K9FM) to original perfectly crafted playful ads or branded content
WHO ITrsquoS FORProud and passionate life-long fans of the brand as well as new customers ndash anyone who can identify with Dr Martensrsquo celebration of authenticity and self-expression Theyrsquore not from any particular tribe or demographic Instead theyrsquore focused on individual style yet all share a united spirit
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about innovative use of radio
what you include in the campaign is up to you It could be a single piece of branded content a series of seemingly traditional 30rdquo ads that builds to something bigger than the sum of its
parts a new way to engage with live music and festivals that Dr Martens can own and champion something that reaches people at work or play driving or jogging pre-recorded and scheduled or live and disruptive
bull Radio lives or dies by its use of sound and the strength of its writing So as well as a great concept the judges will be looking for brilliantly crafted copy to bring the idea to life (and feel free to include a beautifully executed sound-design accompaniment if thatrsquos also relevant to your concept)
bull Consider how radio can interact and link with other channels and platforms for an integrated campaign particularly social media Think where when and how listeners engage with radio But radio must be at the heart and soul of your concept not just a signpost to online activity
bull Traditionally radio tends to be used for spots with direct calls-to-action but it can do so much more This brief is about brand building so therersquos no CTA you must include (though you can if it makes sense for your concept)
bull Donrsquot simply extend the current campaign into radio itrsquos about evolving STANDFORSOMETHING into something new bold and exciting
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALTherersquos no mandatory CTA but your response should reference the current brand platform including the question lsquoWhat do you stand forrsquo or the strapline STANDFORSOMETHING
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Submit any scripts as written text-only PDFs (max 6 A4 pages) If you have multiple scripts submit each one as a separate PDF

In 2011 Bill Fordrsquos TED talk set out a surprising paradox a car company wanted to be part of the solution for sustainable global movement of people goods and services Later Bill was the keynote speaker at Mobile World Congress a ldquocar guyrdquo asking the world of mobile technology developers and entrepreneurs to join together with businesses legislators and leaders to achieve freedom of movement for all
Ford currently has 25 live global mobility experiments underway designed to anticipate what we will want and need in tomorrowrsquos transportation ecosystem They want to be part of the solution
If every epic journey starts with a small first step every cultural shift starts with being open to new ideas and together doing something small to change attitude and behaviour at scale Ford are looking to move people en masse to engage with new and experimental travel solutions and sustainably change the way the world moves
THE CHALLENGEUse Ford as a catalyst to create lasting city-wide change to how we get around Follow these steps to find your solution
1 Select a place in need of change Choose a large city or a megacity with complex transport needs It can be anywhere in the world but you must explain why you chose it
2 and use a Ford technology mobility experiment or asset You must make use of a Ford technology experiment or asset as part of your response but you can be creative with it Think laterally
3 to change a movement-related behaviour or issue for the betterDevelop a campaign product or experience to create lasting positive behaviour change to improve everyday movement around the city
WHO ITrsquoS FORAnyone impacted by congested cities who is frustrated by the difficulties of trying to travel from A to B Think about city living holistically and consider different city dweller experiences around transport If you choose a particular target audience explain why
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider small and attainable ways
that people can change their behaviour on an individual level that together adds up to a big difference Eg Shiftrsquos Action Tracker or Meat Free Mondays ndash theyrsquore tackling different issues but can you learn something from them that could be applied to transport
bull Consider Fordrsquos assets brand reach history and values diverse vehicles and technologies smart mobility experiments (how could you leverage or evolve these) employees engineers designers salespeople drivers racers owners former-owners locations factories showrooms test tracks etc What audiences can you activate at scale
bull What else can you use as well as Ford assets Think about how a cityrsquos ldquostreet furniturerdquo could be repurposed ndash even if only for one day parking bays traffic lights traffic wardens multistorey car parks transport hubs and stations one-way streets billboards pavements roundabouts How can the everyday backdrop in which we move become inspirational
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIAL Your idea needs to have an authentic link to Ford and its brand values Your idea can challenge preconceptions of the brand but must help a wider audience see the greater purpose of keeping the world moving
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs

BACKGROUND John Lewis has been part of the British High Street for 150 years Over that time the retail landscape has transformed immeasurably with the biggest shake-up coming from online shopping While business is booming at JohnLewiscom the internet isnrsquot everything Customers often have a strong emotional bond with the physical shopping experience ndash one that starts before they even walk through the door
A window display in a bricks-and-mortar store is a powerful touchpoint And in our ultra-sharing world a strong window campaign can become the ultimate image to share on social Itrsquos why yoursquoll see online-only stores launching pop-up shops and holding experiential events theyrsquore trying to tap in to that level of connection and authenticity that comes from having a real physical presence for their consumers to engage with
But whatrsquos in store for window displays as the way we buy continues to change
THE CHALLENGECreate an inspiring inventive conceptually relevant and eye-catching display for John Lewisrsquo flagship Oxford Street store for the Autumn season that reshapes expectations of what shop windows do and can be but keeps product firmly at its heart
Store windows are there to communicate not decorate so think about what yoursquore saying how and why The ideal shop window will make hurried commuters stop for a closer look and draw new customers to the store WHO ITrsquoS FORJohn Lewis is a well known British brand with a wide customer base Tens of thousands of people pass by their Oxford Street store every day so consider who will see your window display It may be the starting point of a consumerrsquos interaction with the brand so it needs to make a real impact WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Set out your vision for the future of
retail and the high street How will the way we shop evolve and what role will the shop window play Look at insights into shopping habits and consumer behaviour think about the shopper of the future and what would make this window moment pertinent to
their needs emotions and desiresbull The display is for the Autumn season
how will this affect your responsebull The approach is up to you Is it an
immersive and inventive take on traditional window setting a bold graphic reinterpretation of the space a cutting-edge digital interaction or all or none of the above Does it stand alone or link to other media (eg website app or social)
bull Think about everything from how to engage the senses or bring in elements of storytelling to potential collaborations (you could propose an amazing artist or illustrator to work with for maximum visual impact) The scope is limitless
bull Your window should tempt passers-by into the store and prompt consumers to visit who otherwise might have stayed at home Create something thatrsquos worth getting off the sofa for and blogging or sharing on social media
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Window dimensions 24m high 6m
long 12m deepbull The window must show that John
Lewis is a cross-category brand including electronics fashion and home goods
bull Whether or not your concept includes actual digital elements it must include a link to JohnLewiscom to bring together the digital and physical sides of the business You must also include the John Lewis brand logo
bull With a canvas of this scale and exposure imagination is key Visualise your idea in detail how would it look sound and feel What will it do and how What would the experience of seeing or interacting with it be like

BACKGROUNDDesign has the power to do good but to achieve this you need the courage to believe in what you have to say the conviction to tell it and the clarity to communicate it
Monotype creates typefaces and technologies that help people tell their storymdashin any language on any device and with a clear voice
THE CHALLENGETake a cause you believe in and use the power of type to make a difference Design with typography to agitate educate and organise the world and your audience Use typography to help people believe in your cause and its purpose to motivate and inspire people in a relevant way to your cause and above all to make an impact
Typography is the soapbox for your rallying cry Used at its best it can empower your words evoke meaning set tone and inspire ideas Without it your message could be drowned out Where would the students in Paris of rsquo68 be without their screenprinted stencil type Where would Revolutionary Russia be without its condensed sans serif gothics And would Occupy have inspired the collective imagination without democratic digital design and lsquodesktop publishingrsquo The right typeface used in the right way gives a cause movement or change its true voice
Think about what you want to say and how you want to say it where you should or could say it how you might use type to improve your message to initiate change or to motivate and inspire
WHO ITrsquoS FORThose passionate about a cause those who want to be more passionate about a cause or those with ideas on how a cause can reach more people or be more impactful with the right typeface
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You can pick anything from a global
topic to a local or personal issuebull Think about the world of your cause
and those already active within it What means do they have to join you Do they have digital access or would a predominantly analogue response be more fitting What materials are related to the cause What methods
bull Think about the right typeface for the
right cause The typeface itself can become part of the message or the story ndash its origins its history and how you choose to use it ndash as much as or more than the words themselves
bull Design for protest can be visceral as response time is short Protest is both active and reactive By its nature its messages are often hurried scrawled and raw This translates digitally too into transmissions that are often quick and immediate How does this affect your cause or movement What kind of typeface would suit this type of messaging How would a typeface enhance its impact
bull Remember your end goal Make it bold Make it powerful Make a difference
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA typography-led integrated graphic design campaign including bull At least one posterbull At least one digital elementbull At least one other touchpoint
Your touchpoints could include banners badges moving image ads newspaper ads website banners or other online promotions ndash anything that could raise awareness and get people engaged The more innovative the better
bull Show how your output is relevant to your cause alongside your execution
bull Whatever applications you choose use only type as the major creative expression for your cause
bull Your executions must be visually linked to one another so that they can be easily recognised as part of the same movement

BACKGROUNDBanking ndash itrsquos not everyonersquos favourite task But undeniably in a world where the economic state is uncertain and rates rise and fall it is important to know your money
Nationwide are a mutual building society meaning they are owned by and run for the benefit of their members Unlike a bank they donrsquot exist to line shareholdersrsquo pockets ndash instead at the heart of their business and their existence is the commitment to being on the side of their members in the long- and short-term helping them achieve financial goals
The current financial climate often hits the youngest of the population the hardest with savings rates low and the costs of living high we need now to re-engage with the 16-25 year old audience This generation expects more than ever from their service providers With services like Airbnb and Uber changing the way we view and engage with providers consumers are used to cheaper prices seamless experiences and on-demand customer service 247 ndash and why should their bank be any different
THE CHALLENGEWith financial services lagging behind in terms of connecting with this age group how can we shake up the market to cater to their ever-changing needs
Redefine banking for a student youth audience Forget what banking looks like now and our current expectations from financial service providers throw out the rule-book for what a bank account does how it does it and what it looks like
This is an open brief you could look at redesigning the bank account itself from a product and service perspective or you could revolutionise the sector with a completely new communication approach You choose the platform and consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms the in-store banking experience social media apps PR product and anything else that makes sense to you
WHO ITrsquoS FOR16-25 year olds This young and financially un-committed population have likely just moved out of their parental household and are venturing
into the world to start their own adventures They are savvy about the brands they choose and value transparency and ethics brands who offer experiences and flawless service win over this cohort
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider how Nationwidersquos brand
position and unique stance as a mutual rather than a bank may play a part in a solution for engaging this age group Could the idea of supporting our members over generations be appealing
bull Think about the goals and mindset of people of this age group ndash what are they trying to achieve What are their challenges How could Nationwide help them achieve their goals
bull Think about brands which connect well with this age group What values does this age group care about
bull Donrsquot just think about what financial services already do and try to plug this generation into it Donrsquot be limited by current products or ways of banking Itrsquos all up for creative exploration
bull Think about what this generation want and need from a financial service provider (even if they donrsquot know it yet) and find a way for Nationwide to deliver that
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A concept that changes the face of
banking for young peoplebull Document and show your research
and how you developed your ideas This could be through a lsquomaking ofrsquo video or something simpler
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs

BACKGROUNDNewsworks is the marketing body for national newspapers in all their forms Newspapers are hugely trusted by their readers There is a depth of engagement and attention given to the words within them the facts opinions thought leadership They help set the national agenda through advertising as well as editorial a brandrsquos presence in a newspaper signifies immediate importance and stature conveys trust and prompts discussion and action In a world of distractions readers are uniquely willing to give newsbrands their full and undivided attention
But this isnrsquot always recognised People have lost confidence in newspapers as print circulations have declined and theyrsquore no longer seen as a ldquomust haverdquo medium for advertisers The scale nature and value of their audience engagement is often misunderstood
THE CHALLENGEFacts figures and research alone may prove the value of newspaper advertising But how do you go beyond them to make advertisers believe They need to feel instinctively the trust audiences place in the words they read in newspapers And they need to understand how and why to tap into this
So create a campaign using newsbrands as your channel that brings to life the importance and power of the written word in an age of digital overload and fleeting attention
WHO ITrsquoS FORTarget media agencies (particularly young media planners who think that people donrsquot read newspapers anymore) as well as clients creative agencies media journalists and influencers But the campaign is to be run through national newsbrands so the secondary audience is any engaged reader WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The challenge is about the power of
the written word so copy is likely to be at the heart of your campaign The delivery and context need to do the copy justice and bring it to life so consider the most impactful visual approach to get your message across typography illustration photography infographics use of motion (for digital platforms) anything else appropriate
bull The digital and print formats you use are up to you as long as theyrsquore relevant to a newsbrand platform Eg tablet and phone based ads video and interactive traditional print adspace inserts wraps or supplements sponsored content etc
bull Newsworksrsquo website is full of facts figures research and insights Take full advantage of this an imaginative and compelling take on the numbers could be a powerful way to communicate your message bringing fresh thinking to the insights could lead you to a whole new way to engage with a newsbrand audiencehellip
bull Think how you could evolve your response to include things like membership or events ndash plus any future platforms that newsbrands could or should occupy where trust and engagement really matter

BACKGROUNDldquoStories make us what we are remind us of when wersquore at our worst and celebrate our absolute human best For me itrsquos the only way to communicaterdquo Dan Germain Head of Creative innocent
Stories are one of the oldest and most fundamental forms of communication and ways of understanding culture history and people They can help us understand who we are who we were and what we could become They can connect to our emotional core and give meaning to the world around us
For brands stories are a way to build deeper ties with an audience Storytelling can help to give brands authenticity humanity and relevance People will engage with share and respond to narrative in a way they never would with other marketing messages
Shutterstock is a global marketplace of licensable stock content for creative professionals Their photos illustrations videos music clips and other content move brands transform marketing and bring creative ideas to life And they know that the most impactful imagery is not just beautifully crafted it also evokes real moments and interactions and relatable stories
THE CHALLENGEComedy Rebirth Rags to Riches Tragedy The Quest Overcoming the Monster Voyage and Return ndash these seven plot archetypes can be seen at work everywhere from global news stories to the smallest interaction (see Christopher Bookerrsquos The Seven Basic Plots Why We Tell Stories for a better idea of what these archetypes involve)
Pick three of the seven archetypes and create a static or moving image for each one that tells a story from the modern world Look to unexpected places find the dramatic in the seemingly banal the emotion and humanity that underlies the routine of our daily lives In a fast-moving digital world having the time and space to unfold a story is a luxury not often available How do you distil the essence of it down to something that can be captured in a single moment
WHO ITrsquoS FORTherersquos no target demographic for this brief but consider how and why your images might be used The audience will
come from the tales you choose the stories you decide to tell and how you tell them
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You only have one image for each
archetype one shot to encapsulate a story If you go for moving image each of your three films should only be between 10 and 20 seconds long
bull Your images video snippets should work in isolation but also together Yoursquoll be asked for a short description which the judges may view but your images should be able to speak for themselves without it
bull Will you embody or subvert your archetypes Donrsquot be too literal avoid cliche and obvious imagery
bull Your image should be powerful and impactful even at a glance but have the depth to reward closer inspection and repeated viewing Novelty isnrsquot enough
bull All image-making approaches are welcome across illustration photography and moving image hand-crafted to computer generated lo-fi to high-tech
bull Be authentic Your stories can be fact or fiction but they need to be genuine if theyrsquore going to mean anything to people
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Three images or video snippets each
telling a powerful visual storybull A 30 second video explaining your
process and the background to your work (use voiceovers and or subtitles but donrsquot talk directly to camera)
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined

(10-20 seconds each MPEGMOV)bull One background video (30 seconds

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND The Telegraph is one of the UKrsquos oldest newspapers Loved and trusted by its readership it takes an editorial stance best described as lsquoby those who know their own minds for those who know their own mindsrsquo
Like the British Museum The Telegraph looks traditional on the outside but its insides are more modern and relevant than appearances suggest Itrsquos an intelligent read often humorous occasionally quirky And it has a more balanced take on the world than many people might think
The Telegraph has long been regarded as a brand for older readers But within that much of their journalism cuts across age groups ndash and even political orientation
There is humour in the news pages and story selection Throughout its history The Telegraph has teamed serious reporting and analysis with popular news coverage
Equally many of The Telegraphrsquos established positions resonate with millennials who may not most easily identify with the brand enterprise personal betterment self-reliance independence
THE CHALLENGEThe Telegraph wants to use digital to prove its appeal to readers of any age How can you get them to reconsider what it offers What ideas might turn the heads of open-minded people who are looking for a different kind of news provider What might inspire them to try a Telegraph
Develop an innovative digital solution to get a younger audience to think again about The Telegraph The solution does not necessarily have to focus on lsquonewsrsquo but can look at the broad range of content The Telegraph offers
WHO ITrsquoS FORPeople of working age who know their own minds They do what they want when they want and are looking for a paper that reflects this attitude
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The Telegraph has always stood up for
a plucky almost bloody-minded form of Britishness It appeals to people
who sometimes enjoy taking an obstinate sideways view of life just for the hell of it How might you champion this to find new readers
bull Community comments on news sites appeal only to a hardcore audience and are difficult for most users to engage with How could a news organisation engage with its readers in a more constructive way and create a community around its coverage How does newsgathering change when everyone has a camera and a voice
bull Context most news stories are new twists on long running sagas How should reporting reflect this How should it cater for expert readers who know the story inside out and have strong opinions alongside a reader who is new to it all and wants to get their bearings
bull Definitions of left- and right-wing are now more open to interpretation than ever Even the Conservative Party is pushing for reforms in prison policy social justice and racial discrimination traditionally the territory of the left And therersquos more to a reader than the paper they buy people are often more complex and interesting than theyrsquore given credit for Even those who are held to be on the right can have surprising views and interests We all have common ground we can meet on ndash how might The Telegraph use this
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA digital product or service design to bring The Telegraph to a wider audiencebull Show the user experience or content
scenario eg with a storyboardbull Visualise your concept eg through
illustrations renders video etcbull Include a summary of key insights
from your research bull Show who the product is for

BACKGROUNDSince 1961 WWF has worked to reduce the impact of humanityrsquos footprint on the environment and promote biodiversity conservation Their stated mission is ldquoto stop the degradation of the planetrsquos natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with naturerdquo
Through a legacy of hard-hitting awareness-driving campaigns they have become the best-known non-governmental organisation working in this field Theyrsquore also by some way the worldrsquos largest conservation organisation with over 5 million supporters worldwide working in more than 100 countries
WWFrsquos members are essential to the organisation for both funding and support so engaging and recruiting members is crucial to their efforts Members not only pay monthly subscriptions but also serve as a highly receptive lsquomailing listrsquo who can be drawn on for specific campaigns But right now the benefits members and contributors get are limited Currently members simply pay a subscription and receive three magazines a year And this lack of involvement feels like a missed opportunity especially among a younger audience who expect and desire more involvement in the causes they commit themselves to
THE CHALLENGEHow can WWF turn their members into the worldrsquos most active global conservation community How can they modernise their membership and enable their existing supporter base to become more active
Design an innovative membership offering to galvanise existing members to action and drive the recruitment of new ones
WHO ITrsquoS FORThe audience is global Both existing WWF members and potential ones The core target audience is 25-40 years old but your concept should also to appeal to 16-25 year olds
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about empowering a
community but itrsquos also about trying to bring others into that community So be provocative be inventive but be
relevant bull Are there any partnerships WWF could
put into place that would help take the activity to the next level
bull Think about value exchange Do members simply give money or could their commitment shift to involve time expertise or reach (GoodGym or RockCorps are great examples of communities whose members commit something other than money)
bull This is an open brief so itrsquos up to you how you approach the challenge Do you shake up the membership package itself to make it more dynamic and engaging Is it a comms campaign that motivates members into action Is it a service that links members up with conservation opportunities
bull You choose the platform Consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms social media apps PR product experience and anything else that makes sense to you
bull Whatever your solution it needs to work both digitally and in the real world on and offline
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A product service or campaign idea to
turn young WWF members into an active conservation community
bull Document and show your research and how you developed your ideas
Where you need to use the WWF logo in your work use the special WWF x DampAD logo included in the brief pack Do not use the standard WWF logo

BACKGROUNDAmnesty International is the worldrsquos oldest and biggest global human rights organisation This is one of its greatest assets as it is a very well known trusted and powerful organisation However itrsquos also one of its downfalls where Amnesty used to have a strong student and young people following today it feels out-dated and out of touch
The core barrier to people engaging with Amnesty is that they donrsquot see human rights as very relevant to their lives To tackle this barrier theyrsquove newly defined their brand ethos as Taking Injustice Personally Theyrsquoll build their brand strategy and communications on this principle
Taking injustice personally means not turning a blind eye just because itrsquos happening to someone else somewhere else It means truly caring about anotherrsquos human rights violation because it doesnrsquot matter where this is happening geographically itrsquos happening to another human and that is what makes it close to you It means feeling that what hurts another human being also hurts you
THE CHALLENGELaunch Taking Injustice Personally with a strategy a big idea and creative executions
Itrsquos up to you how you do this It could be a campaign to bring to life the meaning of Taking Injustice Personally for the target audience and help them to see Amnesty International as the way to do something about it Or it could be something that empowers or activates the audience to take injustive personally themselves in a real and meaningful way
WHO ITrsquoS FOR18-25 year olds who have heard of Amnesty International but donrsquot understand what the organisation does or how they can help They care about people and the world that they live in but find they are too busy and preoccupied to do anything about it These young people are unable to give much money but can lsquogiversquo in other ways eg time or advocacy
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALAn integrated campaign and launch concept that consider all communication channels relevant to the idea (eg print digital experiential socialhellip) Itrsquos up to you to decide the most suitable touchpoints for your concept ndash but you need more than one and you must include a digital element
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Present your solution using either a video (max 2 mins) or up to eight presentation slide images
Supporting material (optional)The judges will only look at this if your main deliverable has impressed This could include executions or mock-ups of your solution or show your process and the development of your idea

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND First broadcast in 1984 Crimewatch features reconstructions wanted faces and CCTV in order to help solve some of the UKrsquos biggest cases
With the latest crime news and exclusive investigations Crimewatch is established as British televisionrsquos highest profile crime programme
Since its launch Crimewatch has featured over 5000 appeals and has developed a strong and regular viewership The BBC is now looking to build on the current digital offering elevating it from simply supporting the television programme to being an extension of the brand
THE CHALLENGECrimewatch is live lsquoeventrsquo television which airs every 5-6 weeks ndash it doesnrsquot have a regular slot And itrsquos only available for catch-up viewing on iPlayer for 24 hours after transmission How can the BBC maintain engagement outside broadcasts Crime happens all the time Crimewatch should too
At the moment digital reiterates and supports the programmersquos content The BBC want to create a digital solution thatrsquos part of the Crimewatch experience that leverages and enhances the existing Crimewatch offering How can they best maintain the live action momentum of the programme and create a compelling relationship between television and digital
WHO ITrsquoS FORCrimewatch has a diverse audience and your solution needs to consider this Notably it reaches more younger BAME (Black Asian and Minority Ethnic) and less affluent audiences than the average BBC One factual programme Female viewers also outnumber male ones
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This brief is about thoughtful service
design rather than a whole new product You donrsquot necessarily need to create a new platform from scratch ndash you might find a better solution using existing ones Think strategically how can you leverage the power of technology and existing platforms and apply it in fresh engaging ways
bull Consider audience behaviour and routines What touchpoints platforms
or technologies are they already using Donrsquot feel confined to BBC platforms how can the Crimewatch brand extend and translate into other spaces
bull Could you expand the idea beyond digital Think more than just another app or website ndash how does this translate into the outside world
bull How do you raise Crimewatchrsquos profile given irregular scheduling and lack of promotion
bull Can digital enhance the live broadcast as well as bridging the gap between live shows
bull Could you incorporate elements of storytelling to make the audience part of the Crimewatch experience Crimewatch has always been an inherently interactive experience People just picked up their phones in the pre-internet days So this kind of viewer immersion isnrsquot new to the brand
bull Crime can happen to anyone How could digital platforms help turn Crimewatch from a national television programme to a localised relevant and personal experience
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Clearly explain how yoursquove arrived at
your solutionbull Articulate how you might use available
technologiesbull Visualise your concept eg through
illustrations renders video etc bull Include a summary of key insights
from your research
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Present your solution and research using either a video (max 90 seconds) with narration or subtitles or up to eight presentation slide images
Supporting material (optional)The judges will only look at this if your main deliverable has impressed You can submit interactive work (eg prototypes of your solution) as supporting materialDandADNewBlood

Brief set byDampAD
In collaboration with JON KALLUS GREY LONDON
BACKGROUND You said you wanted to work in an industry thatrsquos brave Itrsquos time to make it so
Last year DampAD asked 50 young creatives from all over the world what they wanted most from the industry they were about to step into One of the most common recurring virtues Bravery (See the others at wwwdandadorgd-ad-foundationgameplan)
Bravery is also one of the most prevalent characteristics of Pencil-winning creative work This makes sense Itrsquos tough to reach originality without a healthy dose of fearlessness Moreover in the context of rapid technological development no one can let the fear of trying something new keep them tied to old ways or means DampADrsquos mission is to celebrate and inspire the best commercial creative work in the world This brief is your chance to help spur on the people who make that great work both now and in the future
THE CHALLENGEDesign an enterprise service or product that will spark a surge in courage to benefit the creative industries
Think about what bravery means to the creative industries Then consider how yoursquoll stir creatives to push boundaries stand up for their ideas or indeed even failhellip and then learn from that failure and ultimately use it to establish a more courageous creative practice
WHO ITrsquoS FORThe target is open Who do you think would benefit most from an injection of creative courage Itrsquos up to you but be specific and clearly outline who your audience is and their relevance to the creative industries in your presentation
Think beyond those already working in commercial creativity What about those gearing up to enter the industry Or the people teaching the next generation of creative superstars Itrsquos OK to focus on long-lasting change for the future over immediate impact on the creative industries if thatrsquos where your idea takes you
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Be brave yourselves obviously but be
realistic Submit something that could
actually come to life Or just do it It is enough to show a well thought out simply articulated vision of what your submission could become However actually starting something for real and presenting the results is even better
bull Show off your creativity In addition to inspiring others your venture has to say something about you as a creator and your creative skills
bull Be open-minded Your venture could be anything a company a social enterprise a service a game a book or an app Pop ups products or parties count too As long as it promotes creative courage
bull You can do this This is a big open brief But please remember that the best ideas in the world can begin with something as simple as filling a blank sheet with thought starters
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Keep it simple By all means envision
all of the mechanics of how your idea would work in the real world But then bring them to life in a compelling simple and visual way
bull Design matters Once you know what your enterprise service or product does show what it looks sounds and feels like Prove that yoursquove thought about and considered the brand identity and how and where yoursquoll connect with your audience
bull Think deeply execute visually Dissect your idea Interrogate both how and why you plan to do things
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs Work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)A presentation film (2 min max) outlining your idea Please donrsquot forget that max means max If you can get your idea across in less time which you always can do so Get the judgesrsquo attention by outlining the project simply clearly and engagingly Optional supporting materialThe judges will only consider the following optional supporting material if your main presentation film has impressed up to four still images interactive work (sites widgets apps etc) physical material (product prototypes site mockups etc)

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND We live in a fragmented digital world so tribes and subcultures donrsquot exist around music and locations anymore (Mods on Carnaby Street Punks on Kings Roadhellip) So how can Dr Martens retain its USP of non-conformist authenticity and rebellious self-expression whilst trying to appeal and remain relevant to a broader base of millennials living in a fast-paced digital mix-and-match society
Radio is ideally placed to rise to this challenge At its best radio is all about authenticity of music sound and voice Listeners are hugely sensitive to genuine content and live radio in particular champions expressiveness and inclusiveness Radio interacts neatly with other channels (you can listen to the radio while you do almost anything) And it has the power to unite people through shared cultural experiences and influence our emotions ndash especially through music (something thatrsquos very relevant to the heritage of Dr Martens)
THE CHALLENGEHarness radiorsquos potential to connect customers old and new with Dr Martensrsquo spirit of rebellious self-expression Use its power to evolve the brandrsquos current platform What do you stand for STANDFORSOMETHINGblogdrmartenscomcategorystandforsomething
Experiment with and push the boundaries of what radio advertising can be Your response could be anything from innovative explorations of radio and its role in our lives (eg K9FM) to original perfectly crafted playful ads or branded content
WHO ITrsquoS FORProud and passionate life-long fans of the brand as well as new customers ndash anyone who can identify with Dr Martensrsquo celebration of authenticity and self-expression Theyrsquore not from any particular tribe or demographic Instead theyrsquore focused on individual style yet all share a united spirit
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about innovative use of radio
what you include in the campaign is up to you It could be a single piece of branded content a series of seemingly traditional 30rdquo ads that builds to something bigger than the sum of its
parts a new way to engage with live music and festivals that Dr Martens can own and champion something that reaches people at work or play driving or jogging pre-recorded and scheduled or live and disruptive
bull Radio lives or dies by its use of sound and the strength of its writing So as well as a great concept the judges will be looking for brilliantly crafted copy to bring the idea to life (and feel free to include a beautifully executed sound-design accompaniment if thatrsquos also relevant to your concept)
bull Consider how radio can interact and link with other channels and platforms for an integrated campaign particularly social media Think where when and how listeners engage with radio But radio must be at the heart and soul of your concept not just a signpost to online activity
bull Traditionally radio tends to be used for spots with direct calls-to-action but it can do so much more This brief is about brand building so therersquos no CTA you must include (though you can if it makes sense for your concept)
bull Donrsquot simply extend the current campaign into radio itrsquos about evolving STANDFORSOMETHING into something new bold and exciting
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALTherersquos no mandatory CTA but your response should reference the current brand platform including the question lsquoWhat do you stand forrsquo or the strapline STANDFORSOMETHING
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Submit any scripts as written text-only PDFs (max 6 A4 pages) If you have multiple scripts submit each one as a separate PDF

BACKGROUND Our freedom of mobility is under threat especially in cities Increased urbanisation stretches our metropolitan transport systems beyond their limits leading to congestion and gridlock And as the global population grows with 75 of people in the world expected to live in cities in the decades to come itrsquos more important than ever to tackle this
In 2011 Bill Fordrsquos TED talk set out a surprising paradox a car company wanted to be part of the solution for sustainable global movement of people goods and services Later Bill was the keynote speaker at Mobile World Congress a ldquocar guyrdquo asking the world of mobile technology developers and entrepreneurs to join together with businesses legislators and leaders to achieve freedom of movement for all
Ford currently has 25 live global mobility experiments underway designed to anticipate what we will want and need in tomorrowrsquos transportation ecosystem They want to be part of the solution
If every epic journey starts with a small first step every cultural shift starts with being open to new ideas and together doing something small to change attitude and behaviour at scale Ford are looking to move people en masse to engage with new and experimental travel solutions and sustainably change the way the world moves
THE CHALLENGEUse Ford as a catalyst to create lasting city-wide change to how we get around Follow these steps to find your solution
1 Select a place in need of change Choose a large city or a megacity with complex transport needs It can be anywhere in the world but you must explain why you chose it
2 and use a Ford technology mobility experiment or asset You must make use of a Ford technology experiment or asset as part of your response but you can be creative with it Think laterally
3 to change a movement-related behaviour or issue for the betterDevelop a campaign product or experience to create lasting positive behaviour change to improve everyday movement around the city
WHO ITrsquoS FORAnyone impacted by congested cities who is frustrated by the difficulties of trying to travel from A to B Think about city living holistically and consider different city dweller experiences around transport If you choose a particular target audience explain why
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider small and attainable ways
that people can change their behaviour on an individual level that together adds up to a big difference Eg Shiftrsquos Action Tracker or Meat Free Mondays ndash theyrsquore tackling different issues but can you learn something from them that could be applied to transport
bull Consider Fordrsquos assets brand reach history and values diverse vehicles and technologies smart mobility experiments (how could you leverage or evolve these) employees engineers designers salespeople drivers racers owners former-owners locations factories showrooms test tracks etc What audiences can you activate at scale
bull What else can you use as well as Ford assets Think about how a cityrsquos ldquostreet furniturerdquo could be repurposed ndash even if only for one day parking bays traffic lights traffic wardens multistorey car parks transport hubs and stations one-way streets billboards pavements roundabouts How can the everyday backdrop in which we move become inspirational
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIAL Your idea needs to have an authentic link to Ford and its brand values Your idea can challenge preconceptions of the brand but must help a wider audience see the greater purpose of keeping the world moving
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs
Main deliverables (mandatory)Present your solution using either a video (max 2 mins) or up to eight presentation slide images

BACKGROUNDDesign has the power to do good but to achieve this you need the courage to believe in what you have to say the conviction to tell it and the clarity to communicate it
Monotype creates typefaces and technologies that help people tell their storymdashin any language on any device and with a clear voice
THE CHALLENGETake a cause you believe in and use the power of type to make a difference Design with typography to agitate educate and organise the world and your audience Use typography to help people believe in your cause and its purpose to motivate and inspire people in a relevant way to your cause and above all to make an impact
Typography is the soapbox for your rallying cry Used at its best it can empower your words evoke meaning set tone and inspire ideas Without it your message could be drowned out Where would the students in Paris of rsquo68 be without their screenprinted stencil type Where would Revolutionary Russia be without its condensed sans serif gothics And would Occupy have inspired the collective imagination without democratic digital design and lsquodesktop publishingrsquo The right typeface used in the right way gives a cause movement or change its true voice
Think about what you want to say and how you want to say it where you should or could say it how you might use type to improve your message to initiate change or to motivate and inspire
WHO ITrsquoS FORThose passionate about a cause those who want to be more passionate about a cause or those with ideas on how a cause can reach more people or be more impactful with the right typeface
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You can pick anything from a global
topic to a local or personal issuebull Think about the world of your cause
and those already active within it What means do they have to join you Do they have digital access or would a predominantly analogue response be more fitting What materials are related to the cause What methods
bull Think about the right typeface for the
right cause The typeface itself can become part of the message or the story ndash its origins its history and how you choose to use it ndash as much as or more than the words themselves
bull Design for protest can be visceral as response time is short Protest is both active and reactive By its nature its messages are often hurried scrawled and raw This translates digitally too into transmissions that are often quick and immediate How does this affect your cause or movement What kind of typeface would suit this type of messaging How would a typeface enhance its impact
bull Remember your end goal Make it bold Make it powerful Make a difference
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA typography-led integrated graphic design campaign including bull At least one posterbull At least one digital elementbull At least one other touchpoint
Your touchpoints could include banners badges moving image ads newspaper ads website banners or other online promotions ndash anything that could raise awareness and get people engaged The more innovative the better
bull Show how your output is relevant to your cause alongside your execution
bull Whatever applications you choose use only type as the major creative expression for your cause
bull Your executions must be visually linked to one another so that they can be easily recognised as part of the same movement

BACKGROUNDBanking ndash itrsquos not everyonersquos favourite task But undeniably in a world where the economic state is uncertain and rates rise and fall it is important to know your money
Nationwide are a mutual building society meaning they are owned by and run for the benefit of their members Unlike a bank they donrsquot exist to line shareholdersrsquo pockets ndash instead at the heart of their business and their existence is the commitment to being on the side of their members in the long- and short-term helping them achieve financial goals
The current financial climate often hits the youngest of the population the hardest with savings rates low and the costs of living high we need now to re-engage with the 16-25 year old audience This generation expects more than ever from their service providers With services like Airbnb and Uber changing the way we view and engage with providers consumers are used to cheaper prices seamless experiences and on-demand customer service 247 ndash and why should their bank be any different
THE CHALLENGEWith financial services lagging behind in terms of connecting with this age group how can we shake up the market to cater to their ever-changing needs
Redefine banking for a student youth audience Forget what banking looks like now and our current expectations from financial service providers throw out the rule-book for what a bank account does how it does it and what it looks like
This is an open brief you could look at redesigning the bank account itself from a product and service perspective or you could revolutionise the sector with a completely new communication approach You choose the platform and consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms the in-store banking experience social media apps PR product and anything else that makes sense to you
WHO ITrsquoS FOR16-25 year olds This young and financially un-committed population have likely just moved out of their parental household and are venturing
into the world to start their own adventures They are savvy about the brands they choose and value transparency and ethics brands who offer experiences and flawless service win over this cohort
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider how Nationwidersquos brand
position and unique stance as a mutual rather than a bank may play a part in a solution for engaging this age group Could the idea of supporting our members over generations be appealing
bull Think about the goals and mindset of people of this age group ndash what are they trying to achieve What are their challenges How could Nationwide help them achieve their goals
bull Think about brands which connect well with this age group What values does this age group care about
bull Donrsquot just think about what financial services already do and try to plug this generation into it Donrsquot be limited by current products or ways of banking Itrsquos all up for creative exploration
bull Think about what this generation want and need from a financial service provider (even if they donrsquot know it yet) and find a way for Nationwide to deliver that
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A concept that changes the face of
banking for young peoplebull Document and show your research
and how you developed your ideas This could be through a lsquomaking ofrsquo video or something simpler

But this isnrsquot always recognised People have lost confidence in newspapers as print circulations have declined and theyrsquore no longer seen as a ldquomust haverdquo medium for advertisers The scale nature and value of their audience engagement is often misunderstood
THE CHALLENGEFacts figures and research alone may prove the value of newspaper advertising But how do you go beyond them to make advertisers believe They need to feel instinctively the trust audiences place in the words they read in newspapers And they need to understand how and why to tap into this
So create a campaign using newsbrands as your channel that brings to life the importance and power of the written word in an age of digital overload and fleeting attention
WHO ITrsquoS FORTarget media agencies (particularly young media planners who think that people donrsquot read newspapers anymore) as well as clients creative agencies media journalists and influencers But the campaign is to be run through national newsbrands so the secondary audience is any engaged reader WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The challenge is about the power of
the written word so copy is likely to be at the heart of your campaign The delivery and context need to do the copy justice and bring it to life so consider the most impactful visual approach to get your message across typography illustration photography infographics use of motion (for digital platforms) anything else appropriate
bull The digital and print formats you use are up to you as long as theyrsquore relevant to a newsbrand platform Eg tablet and phone based ads video and interactive traditional print adspace inserts wraps or supplements sponsored content etc

bull Think how you could evolve your response to include things like membership or events ndash plus any future platforms that newsbrands could or should occupy where trust and engagement really matter
bull Your concept should work with any and all of Newsworksrsquo stakeholders But would your campaign be the same no matter the newsbrand or might the delivery change across different titles
bull Your audiencersquos time is precious How will you engage them and reward their engagement And what are the challenges of targeting an audience for whom advertising and marcomms are their bread and butter
bull Look at how newspapers use both words and pictures to tell a story Think about how headlines draw attention or make a more powerful point Remember that ads need to stand out against this compelling editorial ndash make sure your pictures arenrsquot boring or your words bland
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA campaign with a minimum of three different executions with at least one based on a digital newsbrand platform and at least one to run in print

BACKGROUNDldquoStories make us what we are remind us of when wersquore at our worst and celebrate our absolute human best For me itrsquos the only way to communicaterdquo Dan Germain Head of Creative innocent
Stories are one of the oldest and most fundamental forms of communication and ways of understanding culture history and people They can help us understand who we are who we were and what we could become They can connect to our emotional core and give meaning to the world around us
For brands stories are a way to build deeper ties with an audience Storytelling can help to give brands authenticity humanity and relevance People will engage with share and respond to narrative in a way they never would with other marketing messages
Shutterstock is a global marketplace of licensable stock content for creative professionals Their photos illustrations videos music clips and other content move brands transform marketing and bring creative ideas to life And they know that the most impactful imagery is not just beautifully crafted it also evokes real moments and interactions and relatable stories
THE CHALLENGEComedy Rebirth Rags to Riches Tragedy The Quest Overcoming the Monster Voyage and Return ndash these seven plot archetypes can be seen at work everywhere from global news stories to the smallest interaction (see Christopher Bookerrsquos The Seven Basic Plots Why We Tell Stories for a better idea of what these archetypes involve)
Pick three of the seven archetypes and create a static or moving image for each one that tells a story from the modern world Look to unexpected places find the dramatic in the seemingly banal the emotion and humanity that underlies the routine of our daily lives In a fast-moving digital world having the time and space to unfold a story is a luxury not often available How do you distil the essence of it down to something that can be captured in a single moment
WHO ITrsquoS FORTherersquos no target demographic for this brief but consider how and why your images might be used The audience will
come from the tales you choose the stories you decide to tell and how you tell them
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You only have one image for each
archetype one shot to encapsulate a story If you go for moving image each of your three films should only be between 10 and 20 seconds long
bull Your images video snippets should work in isolation but also together Yoursquoll be asked for a short description which the judges may view but your images should be able to speak for themselves without it
bull Will you embody or subvert your archetypes Donrsquot be too literal avoid cliche and obvious imagery
bull Your image should be powerful and impactful even at a glance but have the depth to reward closer inspection and repeated viewing Novelty isnrsquot enough
bull All image-making approaches are welcome across illustration photography and moving image hand-crafted to computer generated lo-fi to high-tech
bull Be authentic Your stories can be fact or fiction but they need to be genuine if theyrsquore going to mean anything to people
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Three images or video snippets each
telling a powerful visual storybull A 30 second video explaining your
process and the background to your work (use voiceovers and or subtitles but donrsquot talk directly to camera)
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined

BACKGROUND The Telegraph is one of the UKrsquos oldest newspapers Loved and trusted by its readership it takes an editorial stance best described as lsquoby those who know their own minds for those who know their own mindsrsquo
Like the British Museum The Telegraph looks traditional on the outside but its insides are more modern and relevant than appearances suggest Itrsquos an intelligent read often humorous occasionally quirky And it has a more balanced take on the world than many people might think
The Telegraph has long been regarded as a brand for older readers But within that much of their journalism cuts across age groups ndash and even political orientation
There is humour in the news pages and story selection Throughout its history The Telegraph has teamed serious reporting and analysis with popular news coverage
Equally many of The Telegraphrsquos established positions resonate with millennials who may not most easily identify with the brand enterprise personal betterment self-reliance independence
THE CHALLENGEThe Telegraph wants to use digital to prove its appeal to readers of any age How can you get them to reconsider what it offers What ideas might turn the heads of open-minded people who are looking for a different kind of news provider What might inspire them to try a Telegraph
Develop an innovative digital solution to get a younger audience to think again about The Telegraph The solution does not necessarily have to focus on lsquonewsrsquo but can look at the broad range of content The Telegraph offers
WHO ITrsquoS FORPeople of working age who know their own minds They do what they want when they want and are looking for a paper that reflects this attitude
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The Telegraph has always stood up for
a plucky almost bloody-minded form of Britishness It appeals to people
who sometimes enjoy taking an obstinate sideways view of life just for the hell of it How might you champion this to find new readers
bull Community comments on news sites appeal only to a hardcore audience and are difficult for most users to engage with How could a news organisation engage with its readers in a more constructive way and create a community around its coverage How does newsgathering change when everyone has a camera and a voice
bull Context most news stories are new twists on long running sagas How should reporting reflect this How should it cater for expert readers who know the story inside out and have strong opinions alongside a reader who is new to it all and wants to get their bearings
bull Definitions of left- and right-wing are now more open to interpretation than ever Even the Conservative Party is pushing for reforms in prison policy social justice and racial discrimination traditionally the territory of the left And therersquos more to a reader than the paper they buy people are often more complex and interesting than theyrsquore given credit for Even those who are held to be on the right can have surprising views and interests We all have common ground we can meet on ndash how might The Telegraph use this
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA digital product or service design to bring The Telegraph to a wider audiencebull Show the user experience or content
scenario eg with a storyboardbull Visualise your concept eg through
illustrations renders video etcbull Include a summary of key insights
from your research bull Show who the product is for

BACKGROUNDSince 1961 WWF has worked to reduce the impact of humanityrsquos footprint on the environment and promote biodiversity conservation Their stated mission is ldquoto stop the degradation of the planetrsquos natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with naturerdquo
Through a legacy of hard-hitting awareness-driving campaigns they have become the best-known non-governmental organisation working in this field Theyrsquore also by some way the worldrsquos largest conservation organisation with over 5 million supporters worldwide working in more than 100 countries
WWFrsquos members are essential to the organisation for both funding and support so engaging and recruiting members is crucial to their efforts Members not only pay monthly subscriptions but also serve as a highly receptive lsquomailing listrsquo who can be drawn on for specific campaigns But right now the benefits members and contributors get are limited Currently members simply pay a subscription and receive three magazines a year And this lack of involvement feels like a missed opportunity especially among a younger audience who expect and desire more involvement in the causes they commit themselves to
THE CHALLENGEHow can WWF turn their members into the worldrsquos most active global conservation community How can they modernise their membership and enable their existing supporter base to become more active
Design an innovative membership offering to galvanise existing members to action and drive the recruitment of new ones
WHO ITrsquoS FORThe audience is global Both existing WWF members and potential ones The core target audience is 25-40 years old but your concept should also to appeal to 16-25 year olds
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about empowering a
community but itrsquos also about trying to bring others into that community So be provocative be inventive but be
relevant bull Are there any partnerships WWF could
put into place that would help take the activity to the next level
bull Think about value exchange Do members simply give money or could their commitment shift to involve time expertise or reach (GoodGym or RockCorps are great examples of communities whose members commit something other than money)
bull This is an open brief so itrsquos up to you how you approach the challenge Do you shake up the membership package itself to make it more dynamic and engaging Is it a comms campaign that motivates members into action Is it a service that links members up with conservation opportunities
bull You choose the platform Consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms social media apps PR product experience and anything else that makes sense to you
bull Whatever your solution it needs to work both digitally and in the real world on and offline
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A product service or campaign idea to
turn young WWF members into an active conservation community
bull Document and show your research and how you developed your ideas
Where you need to use the WWF logo in your work use the special WWF x DampAD logo included in the brief pack Do not use the standard WWF logo

TIPS FOR A GREAT PRESENTATION FILM
bull Donrsquot include the brief ndash the judges already know it You can talk about how you interpreted the brief and how this led to your response You donrsquot have long so donrsquot waste time telling the judges what they already know
bull Summarise your project in the first 30 seconds ndash get the juryrsquos attention You can use the rest of the film to go into more detail if you need to but donrsquot make the judges wait until the end of the film to find out your solution
bull Itrsquos fine to include a voiceover speaking over footage but to keep judging fair and unbiased donrsquot include footage where you talk directly to camera
bull Focus on the creative idea and its relevance to the audiencebull You donrsquot need to make it elaborate and fancy Simple films with a clearly presented idea are just as effective bull If yoursquore trying to demonstrate an idea using mock-ups and screenshots clearly show how it would work

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND First broadcast in 1984 Crimewatch features reconstructions wanted faces and CCTV in order to help solve some of the UKrsquos biggest cases
With the latest crime news and exclusive investigations Crimewatch is established as British televisionrsquos highest profile crime programme
Since its launch Crimewatch has featured over 5000 appeals and has developed a strong and regular viewership The BBC is now looking to build on the current digital offering elevating it from simply supporting the television programme to being an extension of the brand
THE CHALLENGECrimewatch is live lsquoeventrsquo television which airs every 5-6 weeks ndash it doesnrsquot have a regular slot And itrsquos only available for catch-up viewing on iPlayer for 24 hours after transmission How can the BBC maintain engagement outside broadcasts Crime happens all the time Crimewatch should too
At the moment digital reiterates and supports the programmersquos content The BBC want to create a digital solution thatrsquos part of the Crimewatch experience that leverages and enhances the existing Crimewatch offering How can they best maintain the live action momentum of the programme and create a compelling relationship between television and digital
WHO ITrsquoS FORCrimewatch has a diverse audience and your solution needs to consider this Notably it reaches more younger BAME (Black Asian and Minority Ethnic) and less affluent audiences than the average BBC One factual programme Female viewers also outnumber male ones
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This brief is about thoughtful service
design rather than a whole new product You donrsquot necessarily need to create a new platform from scratch ndash you might find a better solution using existing ones Think strategically how can you leverage the power of technology and existing platforms and apply it in fresh engaging ways
bull Consider audience behaviour and routines What touchpoints platforms
or technologies are they already using Donrsquot feel confined to BBC platforms how can the Crimewatch brand extend and translate into other spaces
bull Could you expand the idea beyond digital Think more than just another app or website ndash how does this translate into the outside world
bull How do you raise Crimewatchrsquos profile given irregular scheduling and lack of promotion
bull Can digital enhance the live broadcast as well as bridging the gap between live shows
bull Could you incorporate elements of storytelling to make the audience part of the Crimewatch experience Crimewatch has always been an inherently interactive experience People just picked up their phones in the pre-internet days So this kind of viewer immersion isnrsquot new to the brand
bull Crime can happen to anyone How could digital platforms help turn Crimewatch from a national television programme to a localised relevant and personal experience
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Clearly explain how yoursquove arrived at
your solutionbull Articulate how you might use available
technologiesbull Visualise your concept eg through
illustrations renders video etc bull Include a summary of key insights
from your research
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Present your solution and research using either a video (max 90 seconds) with narration or subtitles or up to eight presentation slide images
Supporting material (optional)The judges will only look at this if your main deliverable has impressed You can submit interactive work (eg prototypes of your solution) as supporting materialDandADNewBlood

FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE
Brief set byDampAD
In collaboration with JON KALLUS GREY LONDON
BACKGROUND You said you wanted to work in an industry thatrsquos brave Itrsquos time to make it so
Last year DampAD asked 50 young creatives from all over the world what they wanted most from the industry they were about to step into One of the most common recurring virtues Bravery (See the others at wwwdandadorgd-ad-foundationgameplan)
Bravery is also one of the most prevalent characteristics of Pencil-winning creative work This makes sense Itrsquos tough to reach originality without a healthy dose of fearlessness Moreover in the context of rapid technological development no one can let the fear of trying something new keep them tied to old ways or means DampADrsquos mission is to celebrate and inspire the best commercial creative work in the world This brief is your chance to help spur on the people who make that great work both now and in the future
THE CHALLENGEDesign an enterprise service or product that will spark a surge in courage to benefit the creative industries
Think about what bravery means to the creative industries Then consider how yoursquoll stir creatives to push boundaries stand up for their ideas or indeed even failhellip and then learn from that failure and ultimately use it to establish a more courageous creative practice
WHO ITrsquoS FORThe target is open Who do you think would benefit most from an injection of creative courage Itrsquos up to you but be specific and clearly outline who your audience is and their relevance to the creative industries in your presentation
Think beyond those already working in commercial creativity What about those gearing up to enter the industry Or the people teaching the next generation of creative superstars Itrsquos OK to focus on long-lasting change for the future over immediate impact on the creative industries if thatrsquos where your idea takes you
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Be brave yourselves obviously but be
realistic Submit something that could
actually come to life Or just do it It is enough to show a well thought out simply articulated vision of what your submission could become However actually starting something for real and presenting the results is even better
bull Show off your creativity In addition to inspiring others your venture has to say something about you as a creator and your creative skills
bull Be open-minded Your venture could be anything a company a social enterprise a service a game a book or an app Pop ups products or parties count too As long as it promotes creative courage
bull You can do this This is a big open brief But please remember that the best ideas in the world can begin with something as simple as filling a blank sheet with thought starters
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Keep it simple By all means envision
all of the mechanics of how your idea would work in the real world But then bring them to life in a compelling simple and visual way
bull Design matters Once you know what your enterprise service or product does show what it looks sounds and feels like Prove that yoursquove thought about and considered the brand identity and how and where yoursquoll connect with your audience
bull Think deeply execute visually Dissect your idea Interrogate both how and why you plan to do things
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs Work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)A presentation film (2 min max) outlining your idea Please donrsquot forget that max means max If you can get your idea across in less time which you always can do so Get the judgesrsquo attention by outlining the project simply clearly and engagingly Optional supporting materialThe judges will only consider the following optional supporting material if your main presentation film has impressed up to four still images interactive work (sites widgets apps etc) physical material (product prototypes site mockups etc)
IN IT TO WIN IT
bull For this brief winning comes with the chance to work with both DampAD and industry mentors to help bring your idea to life
bull And of course all Pencil winners can apply for the ultimate prize a place on the 2016 New Blood Academy

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND We live in a fragmented digital world so tribes and subcultures donrsquot exist around music and locations anymore (Mods on Carnaby Street Punks on Kings Roadhellip) So how can Dr Martens retain its USP of non-conformist authenticity and rebellious self-expression whilst trying to appeal and remain relevant to a broader base of millennials living in a fast-paced digital mix-and-match society
Radio is ideally placed to rise to this challenge At its best radio is all about authenticity of music sound and voice Listeners are hugely sensitive to genuine content and live radio in particular champions expressiveness and inclusiveness Radio interacts neatly with other channels (you can listen to the radio while you do almost anything) And it has the power to unite people through shared cultural experiences and influence our emotions ndash especially through music (something thatrsquos very relevant to the heritage of Dr Martens)
THE CHALLENGEHarness radiorsquos potential to connect customers old and new with Dr Martensrsquo spirit of rebellious self-expression Use its power to evolve the brandrsquos current platform What do you stand for STANDFORSOMETHINGblogdrmartenscomcategorystandforsomething
Experiment with and push the boundaries of what radio advertising can be Your response could be anything from innovative explorations of radio and its role in our lives (eg K9FM) to original perfectly crafted playful ads or branded content
WHO ITrsquoS FORProud and passionate life-long fans of the brand as well as new customers ndash anyone who can identify with Dr Martensrsquo celebration of authenticity and self-expression Theyrsquore not from any particular tribe or demographic Instead theyrsquore focused on individual style yet all share a united spirit
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about innovative use of radio
what you include in the campaign is up to you It could be a single piece of branded content a series of seemingly traditional 30rdquo ads that builds to something bigger than the sum of its
parts a new way to engage with live music and festivals that Dr Martens can own and champion something that reaches people at work or play driving or jogging pre-recorded and scheduled or live and disruptive
bull Radio lives or dies by its use of sound and the strength of its writing So as well as a great concept the judges will be looking for brilliantly crafted copy to bring the idea to life (and feel free to include a beautifully executed sound-design accompaniment if thatrsquos also relevant to your concept)
bull Consider how radio can interact and link with other channels and platforms for an integrated campaign particularly social media Think where when and how listeners engage with radio But radio must be at the heart and soul of your concept not just a signpost to online activity
bull Traditionally radio tends to be used for spots with direct calls-to-action but it can do so much more This brief is about brand building so therersquos no CTA you must include (though you can if it makes sense for your concept)
bull Donrsquot simply extend the current campaign into radio itrsquos about evolving STANDFORSOMETHING into something new bold and exciting
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALTherersquos no mandatory CTA but your response should reference the current brand platform including the question lsquoWhat do you stand forrsquo or the strapline STANDFORSOMETHING
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Submit any scripts as written text-only PDFs (max 6 A4 pages) If you have multiple scripts submit each one as a separate PDF

Ford currently has 25 live global mobility experiments underway designed to anticipate what we will want and need in tomorrowrsquos transportation ecosystem They want to be part of the solution
If every epic journey starts with a small first step every cultural shift starts with being open to new ideas and together doing something small to change attitude and behaviour at scale Ford are looking to move people en masse to engage with new and experimental travel solutions and sustainably change the way the world moves
THE CHALLENGEUse Ford as a catalyst to create lasting city-wide change to how we get around Follow these steps to find your solution

3 to change a movement-related behaviour or issue for the betterDevelop a campaign product or experience to create lasting positive behaviour change to improve everyday movement around the city
WHO ITrsquoS FORAnyone impacted by congested cities who is frustrated by the difficulties of trying to travel from A to B Think about city living holistically and consider different city dweller experiences around transport If you choose a particular target audience explain why
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider small and attainable ways
that people can change their behaviour on an individual level that together adds up to a big difference Eg Shiftrsquos Action Tracker or Meat Free Mondays ndash theyrsquore tackling different issues but can you learn something from them that could be applied to transport
bull Consider Fordrsquos assets brand reach history and values diverse vehicles and technologies smart mobility experiments (how could you leverage or evolve these) employees engineers designers salespeople drivers racers owners former-owners locations factories showrooms test tracks etc What audiences can you activate at scale
bull What else can you use as well as Ford assets Think about how a cityrsquos ldquostreet furniturerdquo could be repurposed ndash even if only for one day parking bays traffic lights traffic wardens multistorey car parks transport hubs and stations one-way streets billboards pavements roundabouts How can the everyday backdrop in which we move become inspirational
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIAL Your idea needs to have an authentic link to Ford and its brand values Your idea can challenge preconceptions of the brand but must help a wider audience see the greater purpose of keeping the world moving

A window display in a bricks-and-mortar store is a powerful touchpoint And in our ultra-sharing world a strong window campaign can become the ultimate image to share on social Itrsquos why yoursquoll see online-only stores launching pop-up shops and holding experiential events theyrsquore trying to tap in to that level of connection and authenticity that comes from having a real physical presence for their consumers to engage with
But whatrsquos in store for window displays as the way we buy continues to change
THE CHALLENGECreate an inspiring inventive conceptually relevant and eye-catching display for John Lewisrsquo flagship Oxford Street store for the Autumn season that reshapes expectations of what shop windows do and can be but keeps product firmly at its heart
Store windows are there to communicate not decorate so think about what yoursquore saying how and why The ideal shop window will make hurried commuters stop for a closer look and draw new customers to the store WHO ITrsquoS FORJohn Lewis is a well known British brand with a wide customer base Tens of thousands of people pass by their Oxford Street store every day so consider who will see your window display It may be the starting point of a consumerrsquos interaction with the brand so it needs to make a real impact WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Set out your vision for the future of
retail and the high street How will the way we shop evolve and what role will the shop window play Look at insights into shopping habits and consumer behaviour think about the shopper of the future and what would make this window moment pertinent to
their needs emotions and desiresbull The display is for the Autumn season
how will this affect your responsebull The approach is up to you Is it an
immersive and inventive take on traditional window setting a bold graphic reinterpretation of the space a cutting-edge digital interaction or all or none of the above Does it stand alone or link to other media (eg website app or social)
bull Think about everything from how to engage the senses or bring in elements of storytelling to potential collaborations (you could propose an amazing artist or illustrator to work with for maximum visual impact) The scope is limitless
bull Your window should tempt passers-by into the store and prompt consumers to visit who otherwise might have stayed at home Create something thatrsquos worth getting off the sofa for and blogging or sharing on social media

long 12m deepbull The window must show that John
Lewis is a cross-category brand including electronics fashion and home goods

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUNDDesign has the power to do good but to achieve this you need the courage to believe in what you have to say the conviction to tell it and the clarity to communicate it
Monotype creates typefaces and technologies that help people tell their storymdashin any language on any device and with a clear voice
THE CHALLENGETake a cause you believe in and use the power of type to make a difference Design with typography to agitate educate and organise the world and your audience Use typography to help people believe in your cause and its purpose to motivate and inspire people in a relevant way to your cause and above all to make an impact
Typography is the soapbox for your rallying cry Used at its best it can empower your words evoke meaning set tone and inspire ideas Without it your message could be drowned out Where would the students in Paris of rsquo68 be without their screenprinted stencil type Where would Revolutionary Russia be without its condensed sans serif gothics And would Occupy have inspired the collective imagination without democratic digital design and lsquodesktop publishingrsquo The right typeface used in the right way gives a cause movement or change its true voice
Think about what you want to say and how you want to say it where you should or could say it how you might use type to improve your message to initiate change or to motivate and inspire
WHO ITrsquoS FORThose passionate about a cause those who want to be more passionate about a cause or those with ideas on how a cause can reach more people or be more impactful with the right typeface
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You can pick anything from a global
topic to a local or personal issuebull Think about the world of your cause
and those already active within it What means do they have to join you Do they have digital access or would a predominantly analogue response be more fitting What materials are related to the cause What methods
bull Think about the right typeface for the
right cause The typeface itself can become part of the message or the story ndash its origins its history and how you choose to use it ndash as much as or more than the words themselves
bull Design for protest can be visceral as response time is short Protest is both active and reactive By its nature its messages are often hurried scrawled and raw This translates digitally too into transmissions that are often quick and immediate How does this affect your cause or movement What kind of typeface would suit this type of messaging How would a typeface enhance its impact
bull Remember your end goal Make it bold Make it powerful Make a difference
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA typography-led integrated graphic design campaign including bull At least one posterbull At least one digital elementbull At least one other touchpoint
Your touchpoints could include banners badges moving image ads newspaper ads website banners or other online promotions ndash anything that could raise awareness and get people engaged The more innovative the better
bull Show how your output is relevant to your cause alongside your execution
bull Whatever applications you choose use only type as the major creative expression for your cause
bull Your executions must be visually linked to one another so that they can be easily recognised as part of the same movement
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs

BACKGROUNDBanking ndash itrsquos not everyonersquos favourite task But undeniably in a world where the economic state is uncertain and rates rise and fall it is important to know your money
Nationwide are a mutual building society meaning they are owned by and run for the benefit of their members Unlike a bank they donrsquot exist to line shareholdersrsquo pockets ndash instead at the heart of their business and their existence is the commitment to being on the side of their members in the long- and short-term helping them achieve financial goals
The current financial climate often hits the youngest of the population the hardest with savings rates low and the costs of living high we need now to re-engage with the 16-25 year old audience This generation expects more than ever from their service providers With services like Airbnb and Uber changing the way we view and engage with providers consumers are used to cheaper prices seamless experiences and on-demand customer service 247 ndash and why should their bank be any different
THE CHALLENGEWith financial services lagging behind in terms of connecting with this age group how can we shake up the market to cater to their ever-changing needs
Redefine banking for a student youth audience Forget what banking looks like now and our current expectations from financial service providers throw out the rule-book for what a bank account does how it does it and what it looks like
This is an open brief you could look at redesigning the bank account itself from a product and service perspective or you could revolutionise the sector with a completely new communication approach You choose the platform and consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms the in-store banking experience social media apps PR product and anything else that makes sense to you
WHO ITrsquoS FOR16-25 year olds This young and financially un-committed population have likely just moved out of their parental household and are venturing
into the world to start their own adventures They are savvy about the brands they choose and value transparency and ethics brands who offer experiences and flawless service win over this cohort
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider how Nationwidersquos brand
position and unique stance as a mutual rather than a bank may play a part in a solution for engaging this age group Could the idea of supporting our members over generations be appealing
bull Think about the goals and mindset of people of this age group ndash what are they trying to achieve What are their challenges How could Nationwide help them achieve their goals
bull Think about brands which connect well with this age group What values does this age group care about
bull Donrsquot just think about what financial services already do and try to plug this generation into it Donrsquot be limited by current products or ways of banking Itrsquos all up for creative exploration
bull Think about what this generation want and need from a financial service provider (even if they donrsquot know it yet) and find a way for Nationwide to deliver that
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A concept that changes the face of
banking for young peoplebull Document and show your research
and how you developed your ideas This could be through a lsquomaking ofrsquo video or something simpler
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs

BACKGROUNDNewsworks is the marketing body for national newspapers in all their forms Newspapers are hugely trusted by their readers There is a depth of engagement and attention given to the words within them the facts opinions thought leadership They help set the national agenda through advertising as well as editorial a brandrsquos presence in a newspaper signifies immediate importance and stature conveys trust and prompts discussion and action In a world of distractions readers are uniquely willing to give newsbrands their full and undivided attention
But this isnrsquot always recognised People have lost confidence in newspapers as print circulations have declined and theyrsquore no longer seen as a ldquomust haverdquo medium for advertisers The scale nature and value of their audience engagement is often misunderstood
THE CHALLENGEFacts figures and research alone may prove the value of newspaper advertising But how do you go beyond them to make advertisers believe They need to feel instinctively the trust audiences place in the words they read in newspapers And they need to understand how and why to tap into this
So create a campaign using newsbrands as your channel that brings to life the importance and power of the written word in an age of digital overload and fleeting attention
WHO ITrsquoS FORTarget media agencies (particularly young media planners who think that people donrsquot read newspapers anymore) as well as clients creative agencies media journalists and influencers But the campaign is to be run through national newsbrands so the secondary audience is any engaged reader WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The challenge is about the power of
the written word so copy is likely to be at the heart of your campaign The delivery and context need to do the copy justice and bring it to life so consider the most impactful visual approach to get your message across typography illustration photography infographics use of motion (for digital platforms) anything else appropriate
bull The digital and print formats you use are up to you as long as theyrsquore relevant to a newsbrand platform Eg tablet and phone based ads video and interactive traditional print adspace inserts wraps or supplements sponsored content etc
bull Newsworksrsquo website is full of facts figures research and insights Take full advantage of this an imaginative and compelling take on the numbers could be a powerful way to communicate your message bringing fresh thinking to the insights could lead you to a whole new way to engage with a newsbrand audiencehellip
bull Think how you could evolve your response to include things like membership or events ndash plus any future platforms that newsbrands could or should occupy where trust and engagement really matter
bull Your concept should work with any and all of Newsworksrsquo stakeholders But would your campaign be the same no matter the newsbrand or might the delivery change across different titles
bull Your audiencersquos time is precious How will you engage them and reward their engagement And what are the challenges of targeting an audience for whom advertising and marcomms are their bread and butter
bull Look at how newspapers use both words and pictures to tell a story Think about how headlines draw attention or make a more powerful point Remember that ads need to stand out against this compelling editorial ndash make sure your pictures arenrsquot boring or your words bland
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA campaign with a minimum of three different executions with at least one based on a digital newsbrand platform and at least one to run in print
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined

BACKGROUNDldquoStories make us what we are remind us of when wersquore at our worst and celebrate our absolute human best For me itrsquos the only way to communicaterdquo Dan Germain Head of Creative innocent
Stories are one of the oldest and most fundamental forms of communication and ways of understanding culture history and people They can help us understand who we are who we were and what we could become They can connect to our emotional core and give meaning to the world around us
For brands stories are a way to build deeper ties with an audience Storytelling can help to give brands authenticity humanity and relevance People will engage with share and respond to narrative in a way they never would with other marketing messages
Shutterstock is a global marketplace of licensable stock content for creative professionals Their photos illustrations videos music clips and other content move brands transform marketing and bring creative ideas to life And they know that the most impactful imagery is not just beautifully crafted it also evokes real moments and interactions and relatable stories
THE CHALLENGEComedy Rebirth Rags to Riches Tragedy The Quest Overcoming the Monster Voyage and Return ndash these seven plot archetypes can be seen at work everywhere from global news stories to the smallest interaction (see Christopher Bookerrsquos The Seven Basic Plots Why We Tell Stories for a better idea of what these archetypes involve)
Pick three of the seven archetypes and create a static or moving image for each one that tells a story from the modern world Look to unexpected places find the dramatic in the seemingly banal the emotion and humanity that underlies the routine of our daily lives In a fast-moving digital world having the time and space to unfold a story is a luxury not often available How do you distil the essence of it down to something that can be captured in a single moment

come from the tales you choose the stories you decide to tell and how you tell them
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You only have one image for each

bull Your images video snippets should work in isolation but also together Yoursquoll be asked for a short description which the judges may view but your images should be able to speak for themselves without it
bull Will you embody or subvert your archetypes Donrsquot be too literal avoid cliche and obvious imagery
bull Your image should be powerful and impactful even at a glance but have the depth to reward closer inspection and repeated viewing Novelty isnrsquot enough
bull All image-making approaches are welcome across illustration photography and moving image hand-crafted to computer generated lo-fi to high-tech
bull Be authentic Your stories can be fact or fiction but they need to be genuine if theyrsquore going to mean anything to people
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Three images or video snippets each

BACKGROUND The Telegraph is one of the UKrsquos oldest newspapers Loved and trusted by its readership it takes an editorial stance best described as lsquoby those who know their own minds for those who know their own mindsrsquo
Like the British Museum The Telegraph looks traditional on the outside but its insides are more modern and relevant than appearances suggest Itrsquos an intelligent read often humorous occasionally quirky And it has a more balanced take on the world than many people might think
The Telegraph has long been regarded as a brand for older readers But within that much of their journalism cuts across age groups ndash and even political orientation
There is humour in the news pages and story selection Throughout its history The Telegraph has teamed serious reporting and analysis with popular news coverage
Equally many of The Telegraphrsquos established positions resonate with millennials who may not most easily identify with the brand enterprise personal betterment self-reliance independence
THE CHALLENGEThe Telegraph wants to use digital to prove its appeal to readers of any age How can you get them to reconsider what it offers What ideas might turn the heads of open-minded people who are looking for a different kind of news provider What might inspire them to try a Telegraph
Develop an innovative digital solution to get a younger audience to think again about The Telegraph The solution does not necessarily have to focus on lsquonewsrsquo but can look at the broad range of content The Telegraph offers
WHO ITrsquoS FORPeople of working age who know their own minds They do what they want when they want and are looking for a paper that reflects this attitude
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The Telegraph has always stood up for
a plucky almost bloody-minded form of Britishness It appeals to people
who sometimes enjoy taking an obstinate sideways view of life just for the hell of it How might you champion this to find new readers
bull Community comments on news sites appeal only to a hardcore audience and are difficult for most users to engage with How could a news organisation engage with its readers in a more constructive way and create a community around its coverage How does newsgathering change when everyone has a camera and a voice
bull Context most news stories are new twists on long running sagas How should reporting reflect this How should it cater for expert readers who know the story inside out and have strong opinions alongside a reader who is new to it all and wants to get their bearings
bull Definitions of left- and right-wing are now more open to interpretation than ever Even the Conservative Party is pushing for reforms in prison policy social justice and racial discrimination traditionally the territory of the left And therersquos more to a reader than the paper they buy people are often more complex and interesting than theyrsquore given credit for Even those who are held to be on the right can have surprising views and interests We all have common ground we can meet on ndash how might The Telegraph use this
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA digital product or service design to bring The Telegraph to a wider audiencebull Show the user experience or content
scenario eg with a storyboardbull Visualise your concept eg through
illustrations renders video etcbull Include a summary of key insights
from your research bull Show who the product is for

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUNDSince 1961 WWF has worked to reduce the impact of humanityrsquos footprint on the environment and promote biodiversity conservation Their stated mission is ldquoto stop the degradation of the planetrsquos natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with naturerdquo
Through a legacy of hard-hitting awareness-driving campaigns they have become the best-known non-governmental organisation working in this field Theyrsquore also by some way the worldrsquos largest conservation organisation with over 5 million supporters worldwide working in more than 100 countries
WWFrsquos members are essential to the organisation for both funding and support so engaging and recruiting members is crucial to their efforts Members not only pay monthly subscriptions but also serve as a highly receptive lsquomailing listrsquo who can be drawn on for specific campaigns But right now the benefits members and contributors get are limited Currently members simply pay a subscription and receive three magazines a year And this lack of involvement feels like a missed opportunity especially among a younger audience who expect and desire more involvement in the causes they commit themselves to
THE CHALLENGEHow can WWF turn their members into the worldrsquos most active global conservation community How can they modernise their membership and enable their existing supporter base to become more active
Design an innovative membership offering to galvanise existing members to action and drive the recruitment of new ones
WHO ITrsquoS FORThe audience is global Both existing WWF members and potential ones The core target audience is 25-40 years old but your concept should also to appeal to 16-25 year olds
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about empowering a
community but itrsquos also about trying to bring others into that community So be provocative be inventive but be
relevant bull Are there any partnerships WWF could
put into place that would help take the activity to the next level
bull Think about value exchange Do members simply give money or could their commitment shift to involve time expertise or reach (GoodGym or RockCorps are great examples of communities whose members commit something other than money)
bull This is an open brief so itrsquos up to you how you approach the challenge Do you shake up the membership package itself to make it more dynamic and engaging Is it a comms campaign that motivates members into action Is it a service that links members up with conservation opportunities
bull You choose the platform Consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms social media apps PR product experience and anything else that makes sense to you
bull Whatever your solution it needs to work both digitally and in the real world on and offline
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A product service or campaign idea to
turn young WWF members into an active conservation community
bull Document and show your research and how you developed your ideas
Where you need to use the WWF logo in your work use the special WWF x DampAD logo included in the brief pack Do not use the standard WWF logo
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Present your solution using either a video (max 2 mins) or up to eight presentation slide images

FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE
Brief set byDampAD
In collaboration with JON KALLUS GREY LONDON
BACKGROUND You said you wanted to work in an industry thatrsquos brave Itrsquos time to make it so
Last year DampAD asked 50 young creatives from all over the world what they wanted most from the industry they were about to step into One of the most common recurring virtues Bravery (See the others at wwwdandadorgd-ad-foundationgameplan)
Bravery is also one of the most prevalent characteristics of Pencil-winning creative work This makes sense Itrsquos tough to reach originality without a healthy dose of fearlessness Moreover in the context of rapid technological development no one can let the fear of trying something new keep them tied to old ways or means DampADrsquos mission is to celebrate and inspire the best commercial creative work in the world This brief is your chance to help spur on the people who make that great work both now and in the future
THE CHALLENGEDesign an enterprise service or product that will spark a surge in courage to benefit the creative industries
Think about what bravery means to the creative industries Then consider how yoursquoll stir creatives to push boundaries stand up for their ideas or indeed even failhellip and then learn from that failure and ultimately use it to establish a more courageous creative practice
WHO ITrsquoS FORThe target is open Who do you think would benefit most from an injection of creative courage Itrsquos up to you but be specific and clearly outline who your audience is and their relevance to the creative industries in your presentation
Think beyond those already working in commercial creativity What about those gearing up to enter the industry Or the people teaching the next generation of creative superstars Itrsquos OK to focus on long-lasting change for the future over immediate impact on the creative industries if thatrsquos where your idea takes you
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Be brave yourselves obviously but be
realistic Submit something that could
actually come to life Or just do it It is enough to show a well thought out simply articulated vision of what your submission could become However actually starting something for real and presenting the results is even better
bull Show off your creativity In addition to inspiring others your venture has to say something about you as a creator and your creative skills
bull Be open-minded Your venture could be anything a company a social enterprise a service a game a book or an app Pop ups products or parties count too As long as it promotes creative courage
bull You can do this This is a big open brief But please remember that the best ideas in the world can begin with something as simple as filling a blank sheet with thought starters
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Keep it simple By all means envision
all of the mechanics of how your idea would work in the real world But then bring them to life in a compelling simple and visual way
bull Design matters Once you know what your enterprise service or product does show what it looks sounds and feels like Prove that yoursquove thought about and considered the brand identity and how and where yoursquoll connect with your audience
bull Think deeply execute visually Dissect your idea Interrogate both how and why you plan to do things
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs Work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)A presentation film (2 min max) outlining your idea Please donrsquot forget that max means max If you can get your idea across in less time which you always can do so Get the judgesrsquo attention by outlining the project simply clearly and engagingly Optional supporting materialThe judges will only consider the following optional supporting material if your main presentation film has impressed up to four still images interactive work (sites widgets apps etc) physical material (product prototypes site mockups etc)

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND We live in a fragmented digital world so tribes and subcultures donrsquot exist around music and locations anymore (Mods on Carnaby Street Punks on Kings Roadhellip) So how can Dr Martens retain its USP of non-conformist authenticity and rebellious self-expression whilst trying to appeal and remain relevant to a broader base of millennials living in a fast-paced digital mix-and-match society
Radio is ideally placed to rise to this challenge At its best radio is all about authenticity of music sound and voice Listeners are hugely sensitive to genuine content and live radio in particular champions expressiveness and inclusiveness Radio interacts neatly with other channels (you can listen to the radio while you do almost anything) And it has the power to unite people through shared cultural experiences and influence our emotions ndash especially through music (something thatrsquos very relevant to the heritage of Dr Martens)
THE CHALLENGEHarness radiorsquos potential to connect customers old and new with Dr Martensrsquo spirit of rebellious self-expression Use its power to evolve the brandrsquos current platform What do you stand for STANDFORSOMETHINGblogdrmartenscomcategorystandforsomething
Experiment with and push the boundaries of what radio advertising can be Your response could be anything from innovative explorations of radio and its role in our lives (eg K9FM) to original perfectly crafted playful ads or branded content
WHO ITrsquoS FORProud and passionate life-long fans of the brand as well as new customers ndash anyone who can identify with Dr Martensrsquo celebration of authenticity and self-expression Theyrsquore not from any particular tribe or demographic Instead theyrsquore focused on individual style yet all share a united spirit
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about innovative use of radio
what you include in the campaign is up to you It could be a single piece of branded content a series of seemingly traditional 30rdquo ads that builds to something bigger than the sum of its
parts a new way to engage with live music and festivals that Dr Martens can own and champion something that reaches people at work or play driving or jogging pre-recorded and scheduled or live and disruptive
bull Radio lives or dies by its use of sound and the strength of its writing So as well as a great concept the judges will be looking for brilliantly crafted copy to bring the idea to life (and feel free to include a beautifully executed sound-design accompaniment if thatrsquos also relevant to your concept)
bull Consider how radio can interact and link with other channels and platforms for an integrated campaign particularly social media Think where when and how listeners engage with radio But radio must be at the heart and soul of your concept not just a signpost to online activity
bull Traditionally radio tends to be used for spots with direct calls-to-action but it can do so much more This brief is about brand building so therersquos no CTA you must include (though you can if it makes sense for your concept)
bull Donrsquot simply extend the current campaign into radio itrsquos about evolving STANDFORSOMETHING into something new bold and exciting
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALTherersquos no mandatory CTA but your response should reference the current brand platform including the question lsquoWhat do you stand forrsquo or the strapline STANDFORSOMETHING
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Submit any scripts as written text-only PDFs (max 6 A4 pages) If you have multiple scripts submit each one as a separate PDF

In 2011 Bill Fordrsquos TED talk set out a surprising paradox a car company wanted to be part of the solution for sustainable global movement of people goods and services Later Bill was the keynote speaker at Mobile World Congress a ldquocar guyrdquo asking the world of mobile technology developers and entrepreneurs to join together with businesses legislators and leaders to achieve freedom of movement for all
Ford currently has 25 live global mobility experiments underway designed to anticipate what we will want and need in tomorrowrsquos transportation ecosystem They want to be part of the solution
If every epic journey starts with a small first step every cultural shift starts with being open to new ideas and together doing something small to change attitude and behaviour at scale Ford are looking to move people en masse to engage with new and experimental travel solutions and sustainably change the way the world moves
THE CHALLENGEUse Ford as a catalyst to create lasting city-wide change to how we get around Follow these steps to find your solution
1 Select a place in need of change Choose a large city or a megacity with complex transport needs It can be anywhere in the world but you must explain why you chose it
2 and use a Ford technology mobility experiment or asset You must make use of a Ford technology experiment or asset as part of your response but you can be creative with it Think laterally
3 to change a movement-related behaviour or issue for the betterDevelop a campaign product or experience to create lasting positive behaviour change to improve everyday movement around the city
WHO ITrsquoS FORAnyone impacted by congested cities who is frustrated by the difficulties of trying to travel from A to B Think about city living holistically and consider different city dweller experiences around transport If you choose a particular target audience explain why
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider small and attainable ways
that people can change their behaviour on an individual level that together adds up to a big difference Eg Shiftrsquos Action Tracker or Meat Free Mondays ndash theyrsquore tackling different issues but can you learn something from them that could be applied to transport
bull Consider Fordrsquos assets brand reach history and values diverse vehicles and technologies smart mobility experiments (how could you leverage or evolve these) employees engineers designers salespeople drivers racers owners former-owners locations factories showrooms test tracks etc What audiences can you activate at scale
bull What else can you use as well as Ford assets Think about how a cityrsquos ldquostreet furniturerdquo could be repurposed ndash even if only for one day parking bays traffic lights traffic wardens multistorey car parks transport hubs and stations one-way streets billboards pavements roundabouts How can the everyday backdrop in which we move become inspirational
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIAL Your idea needs to have an authentic link to Ford and its brand values Your idea can challenge preconceptions of the brand but must help a wider audience see the greater purpose of keeping the world moving

But whatrsquos in store for window displays as the way we buy continues to change
THE CHALLENGECreate an inspiring inventive conceptually relevant and eye-catching display for John Lewisrsquo flagship Oxford Street store for the Autumn season that reshapes expectations of what shop windows do and can be but keeps product firmly at its heart

immersive and inventive take on traditional window setting a bold graphic reinterpretation of the space a cutting-edge digital interaction or all or none of the above Does it stand alone or link to other media (eg website app or social)
bull Think about everything from how to engage the senses or bring in elements of storytelling to potential collaborations (you could propose an amazing artist or illustrator to work with for maximum visual impact) The scope is limitless

BACKGROUNDDesign has the power to do good but to achieve this you need the courage to believe in what you have to say the conviction to tell it and the clarity to communicate it
Monotype creates typefaces and technologies that help people tell their storymdashin any language on any device and with a clear voice
THE CHALLENGETake a cause you believe in and use the power of type to make a difference Design with typography to agitate educate and organise the world and your audience Use typography to help people believe in your cause and its purpose to motivate and inspire people in a relevant way to your cause and above all to make an impact
Typography is the soapbox for your rallying cry Used at its best it can empower your words evoke meaning set tone and inspire ideas Without it your message could be drowned out Where would the students in Paris of rsquo68 be without their screenprinted stencil type Where would Revolutionary Russia be without its condensed sans serif gothics And would Occupy have inspired the collective imagination without democratic digital design and lsquodesktop publishingrsquo The right typeface used in the right way gives a cause movement or change its true voice
Think about what you want to say and how you want to say it where you should or could say it how you might use type to improve your message to initiate change or to motivate and inspire
WHO ITrsquoS FORThose passionate about a cause those who want to be more passionate about a cause or those with ideas on how a cause can reach more people or be more impactful with the right typeface
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You can pick anything from a global
topic to a local or personal issuebull Think about the world of your cause
and those already active within it What means do they have to join you Do they have digital access or would a predominantly analogue response be more fitting What materials are related to the cause What methods
bull Think about the right typeface for the
right cause The typeface itself can become part of the message or the story ndash its origins its history and how you choose to use it ndash as much as or more than the words themselves
bull Design for protest can be visceral as response time is short Protest is both active and reactive By its nature its messages are often hurried scrawled and raw This translates digitally too into transmissions that are often quick and immediate How does this affect your cause or movement What kind of typeface would suit this type of messaging How would a typeface enhance its impact
bull Remember your end goal Make it bold Make it powerful Make a difference
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA typography-led integrated graphic design campaign including bull At least one posterbull At least one digital elementbull At least one other touchpoint
Your touchpoints could include banners badges moving image ads newspaper ads website banners or other online promotions ndash anything that could raise awareness and get people engaged The more innovative the better
bull Show how your output is relevant to your cause alongside your execution
bull Whatever applications you choose use only type as the major creative expression for your cause
bull Your executions must be visually linked to one another so that they can be easily recognised as part of the same movement

BACKGROUNDBanking ndash itrsquos not everyonersquos favourite task But undeniably in a world where the economic state is uncertain and rates rise and fall it is important to know your money
Nationwide are a mutual building society meaning they are owned by and run for the benefit of their members Unlike a bank they donrsquot exist to line shareholdersrsquo pockets ndash instead at the heart of their business and their existence is the commitment to being on the side of their members in the long- and short-term helping them achieve financial goals
The current financial climate often hits the youngest of the population the hardest with savings rates low and the costs of living high we need now to re-engage with the 16-25 year old audience This generation expects more than ever from their service providers With services like Airbnb and Uber changing the way we view and engage with providers consumers are used to cheaper prices seamless experiences and on-demand customer service 247 ndash and why should their bank be any different
THE CHALLENGEWith financial services lagging behind in terms of connecting with this age group how can we shake up the market to cater to their ever-changing needs
Redefine banking for a student youth audience Forget what banking looks like now and our current expectations from financial service providers throw out the rule-book for what a bank account does how it does it and what it looks like
This is an open brief you could look at redesigning the bank account itself from a product and service perspective or you could revolutionise the sector with a completely new communication approach You choose the platform and consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms the in-store banking experience social media apps PR product and anything else that makes sense to you
WHO ITrsquoS FOR16-25 year olds This young and financially un-committed population have likely just moved out of their parental household and are venturing
into the world to start their own adventures They are savvy about the brands they choose and value transparency and ethics brands who offer experiences and flawless service win over this cohort
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider how Nationwidersquos brand
position and unique stance as a mutual rather than a bank may play a part in a solution for engaging this age group Could the idea of supporting our members over generations be appealing
bull Think about the goals and mindset of people of this age group ndash what are they trying to achieve What are their challenges How could Nationwide help them achieve their goals
bull Think about brands which connect well with this age group What values does this age group care about
bull Donrsquot just think about what financial services already do and try to plug this generation into it Donrsquot be limited by current products or ways of banking Itrsquos all up for creative exploration
bull Think about what this generation want and need from a financial service provider (even if they donrsquot know it yet) and find a way for Nationwide to deliver that
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A concept that changes the face of
banking for young peoplebull Document and show your research
and how you developed your ideas This could be through a lsquomaking ofrsquo video or something simpler

But this isnrsquot always recognised People have lost confidence in newspapers as print circulations have declined and theyrsquore no longer seen as a ldquomust haverdquo medium for advertisers The scale nature and value of their audience engagement is often misunderstood
THE CHALLENGEFacts figures and research alone may prove the value of newspaper advertising But how do you go beyond them to make advertisers believe They need to feel instinctively the trust audiences place in the words they read in newspapers And they need to understand how and why to tap into this
So create a campaign using newsbrands as your channel that brings to life the importance and power of the written word in an age of digital overload and fleeting attention
WHO ITrsquoS FORTarget media agencies (particularly young media planners who think that people donrsquot read newspapers anymore) as well as clients creative agencies media journalists and influencers But the campaign is to be run through national newsbrands so the secondary audience is any engaged reader WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The challenge is about the power of
the written word so copy is likely to be at the heart of your campaign The delivery and context need to do the copy justice and bring it to life so consider the most impactful visual approach to get your message across typography illustration photography infographics use of motion (for digital platforms) anything else appropriate

bull Your audiencersquos time is precious How will you engage them and reward their engagement And what are the challenges of targeting an audience for whom advertising and marcomms are their bread and butter
bull Look at how newspapers use both words and pictures to tell a story Think about how headlines draw attention or make a more powerful point Remember that ads need to stand out against this compelling editorial ndash make sure your pictures arenrsquot boring or your words bland
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA campaign with a minimum of three different executions with at least one based on a digital newsbrand platform and at least one to run in print

BACKGROUNDldquoStories make us what we are remind us of when wersquore at our worst and celebrate our absolute human best For me itrsquos the only way to communicaterdquo Dan Germain Head of Creative innocent
Stories are one of the oldest and most fundamental forms of communication and ways of understanding culture history and people They can help us understand who we are who we were and what we could become They can connect to our emotional core and give meaning to the world around us
For brands stories are a way to build deeper ties with an audience Storytelling can help to give brands authenticity humanity and relevance People will engage with share and respond to narrative in a way they never would with other marketing messages
Shutterstock is a global marketplace of licensable stock content for creative professionals Their photos illustrations videos music clips and other content move brands transform marketing and bring creative ideas to life And they know that the most impactful imagery is not just beautifully crafted it also evokes real moments and interactions and relatable stories
THE CHALLENGEComedy Rebirth Rags to Riches Tragedy The Quest Overcoming the Monster Voyage and Return ndash these seven plot archetypes can be seen at work everywhere from global news stories to the smallest interaction (see Christopher Bookerrsquos The Seven Basic Plots Why We Tell Stories for a better idea of what these archetypes involve)

bull Your images video snippets should work in isolation but also together Yoursquoll be asked for a short description which the judges may view but your images should be able to speak for themselves without it
bull Will you embody or subvert your archetypes Donrsquot be too literal avoid cliche and obvious imagery
bull Your image should be powerful and impactful even at a glance but have the depth to reward closer inspection and repeated viewing Novelty isnrsquot enough
bull All image-making approaches are welcome across illustration photography and moving image hand-crafted to computer generated lo-fi to high-tech
bull Be authentic Your stories can be fact or fiction but they need to be genuine if theyrsquore going to mean anything to people

The Telegraph has long been regarded as a brand for older readers But within that much of their journalism cuts across age groups ndash and even political orientation
There is humour in the news pages and story selection Throughout its history The Telegraph has teamed serious reporting and analysis with popular news coverage
Equally many of The Telegraphrsquos established positions resonate with millennials who may not most easily identify with the brand enterprise personal betterment self-reliance independence
THE CHALLENGEThe Telegraph wants to use digital to prove its appeal to readers of any age How can you get them to reconsider what it offers What ideas might turn the heads of open-minded people who are looking for a different kind of news provider What might inspire them to try a Telegraph
Develop an innovative digital solution to get a younger audience to think again about The Telegraph The solution does not necessarily have to focus on lsquonewsrsquo but can look at the broad range of content The Telegraph offers
WHO ITrsquoS FORPeople of working age who know their own minds They do what they want when they want and are looking for a paper that reflects this attitude
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The Telegraph has always stood up for
a plucky almost bloody-minded form of Britishness It appeals to people
who sometimes enjoy taking an obstinate sideways view of life just for the hell of it How might you champion this to find new readers
bull Community comments on news sites appeal only to a hardcore audience and are difficult for most users to engage with How could a news organisation engage with its readers in a more constructive way and create a community around its coverage How does newsgathering change when everyone has a camera and a voice
bull Context most news stories are new twists on long running sagas How should reporting reflect this How should it cater for expert readers who know the story inside out and have strong opinions alongside a reader who is new to it all and wants to get their bearings
bull Definitions of left- and right-wing are now more open to interpretation than ever Even the Conservative Party is pushing for reforms in prison policy social justice and racial discrimination traditionally the territory of the left And therersquos more to a reader than the paper they buy people are often more complex and interesting than theyrsquore given credit for Even those who are held to be on the right can have surprising views and interests We all have common ground we can meet on ndash how might The Telegraph use this
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA digital product or service design to bring The Telegraph to a wider audiencebull Show the user experience or content
scenario eg with a storyboardbull Visualise your concept eg through
illustrations renders video etcbull Include a summary of key insights
from your research bull Show who the product is for

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUNDSince 1961 WWF has worked to reduce the impact of humanityrsquos footprint on the environment and promote biodiversity conservation Their stated mission is ldquoto stop the degradation of the planetrsquos natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with naturerdquo
Through a legacy of hard-hitting awareness-driving campaigns they have become the best-known non-governmental organisation working in this field Theyrsquore also by some way the worldrsquos largest conservation organisation with over 5 million supporters worldwide working in more than 100 countries
WWFrsquos members are essential to the organisation for both funding and support so engaging and recruiting members is crucial to their efforts Members not only pay monthly subscriptions but also serve as a highly receptive lsquomailing listrsquo who can be drawn on for specific campaigns But right now the benefits members and contributors get are limited Currently members simply pay a subscription and receive three magazines a year And this lack of involvement feels like a missed opportunity especially among a younger audience who expect and desire more involvement in the causes they commit themselves to
THE CHALLENGEHow can WWF turn their members into the worldrsquos most active global conservation community How can they modernise their membership and enable their existing supporter base to become more active
Design an innovative membership offering to galvanise existing members to action and drive the recruitment of new ones
WHO ITrsquoS FORThe audience is global Both existing WWF members and potential ones The core target audience is 25-40 years old but your concept should also to appeal to 16-25 year olds
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about empowering a
community but itrsquos also about trying to bring others into that community So be provocative be inventive but be
relevant bull Are there any partnerships WWF could
put into place that would help take the activity to the next level
bull Think about value exchange Do members simply give money or could their commitment shift to involve time expertise or reach (GoodGym or RockCorps are great examples of communities whose members commit something other than money)
bull This is an open brief so itrsquos up to you how you approach the challenge Do you shake up the membership package itself to make it more dynamic and engaging Is it a comms campaign that motivates members into action Is it a service that links members up with conservation opportunities
bull You choose the platform Consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms social media apps PR product experience and anything else that makes sense to you
bull Whatever your solution it needs to work both digitally and in the real world on and offline
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A product service or campaign idea to
turn young WWF members into an active conservation community
bull Document and show your research and how you developed your ideas
Where you need to use the WWF logo in your work use the special WWF x DampAD logo included in the brief pack Do not use the standard WWF logo
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Present your solution using either a video (max 2 mins) or up to eight presentation slide images

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND We live in a fragmented digital world so tribes and subcultures donrsquot exist around music and locations anymore (Mods on Carnaby Street Punks on Kings Roadhellip) So how can Dr Martens retain its USP of non-conformist authenticity and rebellious self-expression whilst trying to appeal and remain relevant to a broader base of millennials living in a fast-paced digital mix-and-match society
Radio is ideally placed to rise to this challenge At its best radio is all about authenticity of music sound and voice Listeners are hugely sensitive to genuine content and live radio in particular champions expressiveness and inclusiveness Radio interacts neatly with other channels (you can listen to the radio while you do almost anything) And it has the power to unite people through shared cultural experiences and influence our emotions ndash especially through music (something thatrsquos very relevant to the heritage of Dr Martens)
THE CHALLENGEHarness radiorsquos potential to connect customers old and new with Dr Martensrsquo spirit of rebellious self-expression Use its power to evolve the brandrsquos current platform What do you stand for STANDFORSOMETHINGblogdrmartenscomcategorystandforsomething
Experiment with and push the boundaries of what radio advertising can be Your response could be anything from innovative explorations of radio and its role in our lives (eg K9FM) to original perfectly crafted playful ads or branded content
WHO ITrsquoS FORProud and passionate life-long fans of the brand as well as new customers ndash anyone who can identify with Dr Martensrsquo celebration of authenticity and self-expression Theyrsquore not from any particular tribe or demographic Instead theyrsquore focused on individual style yet all share a united spirit
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about innovative use of radio
what you include in the campaign is up to you It could be a single piece of branded content a series of seemingly traditional 30rdquo ads that builds to something bigger than the sum of its
parts a new way to engage with live music and festivals that Dr Martens can own and champion something that reaches people at work or play driving or jogging pre-recorded and scheduled or live and disruptive
bull Radio lives or dies by its use of sound and the strength of its writing So as well as a great concept the judges will be looking for brilliantly crafted copy to bring the idea to life (and feel free to include a beautifully executed sound-design accompaniment if thatrsquos also relevant to your concept)
bull Consider how radio can interact and link with other channels and platforms for an integrated campaign particularly social media Think where when and how listeners engage with radio But radio must be at the heart and soul of your concept not just a signpost to online activity
bull Traditionally radio tends to be used for spots with direct calls-to-action but it can do so much more This brief is about brand building so therersquos no CTA you must include (though you can if it makes sense for your concept)
bull Donrsquot simply extend the current campaign into radio itrsquos about evolving STANDFORSOMETHING into something new bold and exciting
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALTherersquos no mandatory CTA but your response should reference the current brand platform including the question lsquoWhat do you stand forrsquo or the strapline STANDFORSOMETHING
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Submit any scripts as written text-only PDFs (max 6 A4 pages) If you have multiple scripts submit each one as a separate PDF

BACKGROUND Our freedom of mobility is under threat especially in cities Increased urbanisation stretches our metropolitan transport systems beyond their limits leading to congestion and gridlock And as the global population grows with 75 of people in the world expected to live in cities in the decades to come itrsquos more important than ever to tackle this
In 2011 Bill Fordrsquos TED talk set out a surprising paradox a car company wanted to be part of the solution for sustainable global movement of people goods and services Later Bill was the keynote speaker at Mobile World Congress a ldquocar guyrdquo asking the world of mobile technology developers and entrepreneurs to join together with businesses legislators and leaders to achieve freedom of movement for all
Ford currently has 25 live global mobility experiments underway designed to anticipate what we will want and need in tomorrowrsquos transportation ecosystem They want to be part of the solution
If every epic journey starts with a small first step every cultural shift starts with being open to new ideas and together doing something small to change attitude and behaviour at scale Ford are looking to move people en masse to engage with new and experimental travel solutions and sustainably change the way the world moves
THE CHALLENGEUse Ford as a catalyst to create lasting city-wide change to how we get around Follow these steps to find your solution
1 Select a place in need of change Choose a large city or a megacity with complex transport needs It can be anywhere in the world but you must explain why you chose it
2 and use a Ford technology mobility experiment or asset You must make use of a Ford technology experiment or asset as part of your response but you can be creative with it Think laterally
3 to change a movement-related behaviour or issue for the betterDevelop a campaign product or experience to create lasting positive behaviour change to improve everyday movement around the city
WHO ITrsquoS FORAnyone impacted by congested cities who is frustrated by the difficulties of trying to travel from A to B Think about city living holistically and consider different city dweller experiences around transport If you choose a particular target audience explain why
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider small and attainable ways
that people can change their behaviour on an individual level that together adds up to a big difference Eg Shiftrsquos Action Tracker or Meat Free Mondays ndash theyrsquore tackling different issues but can you learn something from them that could be applied to transport
bull Consider Fordrsquos assets brand reach history and values diverse vehicles and technologies smart mobility experiments (how could you leverage or evolve these) employees engineers designers salespeople drivers racers owners former-owners locations factories showrooms test tracks etc What audiences can you activate at scale
bull What else can you use as well as Ford assets Think about how a cityrsquos ldquostreet furniturerdquo could be repurposed ndash even if only for one day parking bays traffic lights traffic wardens multistorey car parks transport hubs and stations one-way streets billboards pavements roundabouts How can the everyday backdrop in which we move become inspirational
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIAL Your idea needs to have an authentic link to Ford and its brand values Your idea can challenge preconceptions of the brand but must help a wider audience see the greater purpose of keeping the world moving
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs

A window display in a bricks-and-mortar store is a powerful touchpoint And in our ultra-sharing world a strong window campaign can become the ultimate image to share on social Itrsquos why yoursquoll see online-only stores launching pop-up shops and holding experiential events theyrsquore trying to tap in to that level of connection and authenticity that comes from having a real physical presence for their consumers to engage with
But whatrsquos in store for window displays as the way we buy continues to change
THE CHALLENGECreate an inspiring inventive conceptually relevant and eye-catching display for John Lewisrsquo flagship Oxford Street store for the Autumn season that reshapes expectations of what shop windows do and can be but keeps product firmly at its heart
Store windows are there to communicate not decorate so think about what yoursquore saying how and why The ideal shop window will make hurried commuters stop for a closer look and draw new customers to the store WHO ITrsquoS FORJohn Lewis is a well known British brand with a wide customer base Tens of thousands of people pass by their Oxford Street store every day so consider who will see your window display It may be the starting point of a consumerrsquos interaction with the brand so it needs to make a real impact WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Set out your vision for the future of
retail and the high street How will the way we shop evolve and what role will the shop window play Look at insights into shopping habits and consumer behaviour think about the shopper of the future and what would make this window moment pertinent to
their needs emotions and desiresbull The display is for the Autumn season
how will this affect your responsebull The approach is up to you Is it an
immersive and inventive take on traditional window setting a bold graphic reinterpretation of the space a cutting-edge digital interaction or all or none of the above Does it stand alone or link to other media (eg website app or social)
bull Think about everything from how to engage the senses or bring in elements of storytelling to potential collaborations (you could propose an amazing artist or illustrator to work with for maximum visual impact) The scope is limitless
bull Your window should tempt passers-by into the store and prompt consumers to visit who otherwise might have stayed at home Create something thatrsquos worth getting off the sofa for and blogging or sharing on social media

long 12m deepbull The window must show that John
Lewis is a cross-category brand including electronics fashion and home goods
bull Whether or not your concept includes actual digital elements it must include a link to JohnLewiscom to bring together the digital and physical sides of the business You must also include the John Lewis brand logo
bull With a canvas of this scale and exposure imagination is key Visualise your idea in detail how would it look sound and feel What will it do and how What would the experience of seeing or interacting with it be like

BACKGROUNDDesign has the power to do good but to achieve this you need the courage to believe in what you have to say the conviction to tell it and the clarity to communicate it
Monotype creates typefaces and technologies that help people tell their storymdashin any language on any device and with a clear voice
THE CHALLENGETake a cause you believe in and use the power of type to make a difference Design with typography to agitate educate and organise the world and your audience Use typography to help people believe in your cause and its purpose to motivate and inspire people in a relevant way to your cause and above all to make an impact
Typography is the soapbox for your rallying cry Used at its best it can empower your words evoke meaning set tone and inspire ideas Without it your message could be drowned out Where would the students in Paris of rsquo68 be without their screenprinted stencil type Where would Revolutionary Russia be without its condensed sans serif gothics And would Occupy have inspired the collective imagination without democratic digital design and lsquodesktop publishingrsquo The right typeface used in the right way gives a cause movement or change its true voice
Think about what you want to say and how you want to say it where you should or could say it how you might use type to improve your message to initiate change or to motivate and inspire
WHO ITrsquoS FORThose passionate about a cause those who want to be more passionate about a cause or those with ideas on how a cause can reach more people or be more impactful with the right typeface
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You can pick anything from a global
topic to a local or personal issuebull Think about the world of your cause
and those already active within it What means do they have to join you Do they have digital access or would a predominantly analogue response be more fitting What materials are related to the cause What methods
bull Think about the right typeface for the
right cause The typeface itself can become part of the message or the story ndash its origins its history and how you choose to use it ndash as much as or more than the words themselves
bull Design for protest can be visceral as response time is short Protest is both active and reactive By its nature its messages are often hurried scrawled and raw This translates digitally too into transmissions that are often quick and immediate How does this affect your cause or movement What kind of typeface would suit this type of messaging How would a typeface enhance its impact
bull Remember your end goal Make it bold Make it powerful Make a difference
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA typography-led integrated graphic design campaign including bull At least one posterbull At least one digital elementbull At least one other touchpoint
Your touchpoints could include banners badges moving image ads newspaper ads website banners or other online promotions ndash anything that could raise awareness and get people engaged The more innovative the better
bull Show how your output is relevant to your cause alongside your execution
bull Whatever applications you choose use only type as the major creative expression for your cause
bull Your executions must be visually linked to one another so that they can be easily recognised as part of the same movement

BACKGROUNDBanking ndash itrsquos not everyonersquos favourite task But undeniably in a world where the economic state is uncertain and rates rise and fall it is important to know your money
Nationwide are a mutual building society meaning they are owned by and run for the benefit of their members Unlike a bank they donrsquot exist to line shareholdersrsquo pockets ndash instead at the heart of their business and their existence is the commitment to being on the side of their members in the long- and short-term helping them achieve financial goals
The current financial climate often hits the youngest of the population the hardest with savings rates low and the costs of living high we need now to re-engage with the 16-25 year old audience This generation expects more than ever from their service providers With services like Airbnb and Uber changing the way we view and engage with providers consumers are used to cheaper prices seamless experiences and on-demand customer service 247 ndash and why should their bank be any different
THE CHALLENGEWith financial services lagging behind in terms of connecting with this age group how can we shake up the market to cater to their ever-changing needs
Redefine banking for a student youth audience Forget what banking looks like now and our current expectations from financial service providers throw out the rule-book for what a bank account does how it does it and what it looks like
This is an open brief you could look at redesigning the bank account itself from a product and service perspective or you could revolutionise the sector with a completely new communication approach You choose the platform and consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms the in-store banking experience social media apps PR product and anything else that makes sense to you
WHO ITrsquoS FOR16-25 year olds This young and financially un-committed population have likely just moved out of their parental household and are venturing
into the world to start their own adventures They are savvy about the brands they choose and value transparency and ethics brands who offer experiences and flawless service win over this cohort
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider how Nationwidersquos brand
position and unique stance as a mutual rather than a bank may play a part in a solution for engaging this age group Could the idea of supporting our members over generations be appealing
bull Think about the goals and mindset of people of this age group ndash what are they trying to achieve What are their challenges How could Nationwide help them achieve their goals
bull Think about brands which connect well with this age group What values does this age group care about
bull Donrsquot just think about what financial services already do and try to plug this generation into it Donrsquot be limited by current products or ways of banking Itrsquos all up for creative exploration
bull Think about what this generation want and need from a financial service provider (even if they donrsquot know it yet) and find a way for Nationwide to deliver that
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A concept that changes the face of
banking for young peoplebull Document and show your research
and how you developed your ideas This could be through a lsquomaking ofrsquo video or something simpler

BACKGROUNDNewsworks is the marketing body for national newspapers in all their forms Newspapers are hugely trusted by their readers There is a depth of engagement and attention given to the words within them the facts opinions thought leadership They help set the national agenda through advertising as well as editorial a brandrsquos presence in a newspaper signifies immediate importance and stature conveys trust and prompts discussion and action In a world of distractions readers are uniquely willing to give newsbrands their full and undivided attention
But this isnrsquot always recognised People have lost confidence in newspapers as print circulations have declined and theyrsquore no longer seen as a ldquomust haverdquo medium for advertisers The scale nature and value of their audience engagement is often misunderstood
THE CHALLENGEFacts figures and research alone may prove the value of newspaper advertising But how do you go beyond them to make advertisers believe They need to feel instinctively the trust audiences place in the words they read in newspapers And they need to understand how and why to tap into this
So create a campaign using newsbrands as your channel that brings to life the importance and power of the written word in an age of digital overload and fleeting attention
WHO ITrsquoS FORTarget media agencies (particularly young media planners who think that people donrsquot read newspapers anymore) as well as clients creative agencies media journalists and influencers But the campaign is to be run through national newsbrands so the secondary audience is any engaged reader WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The challenge is about the power of
the written word so copy is likely to be at the heart of your campaign The delivery and context need to do the copy justice and bring it to life so consider the most impactful visual approach to get your message across typography illustration photography infographics use of motion (for digital platforms) anything else appropriate
bull The digital and print formats you use are up to you as long as theyrsquore relevant to a newsbrand platform Eg tablet and phone based ads video and interactive traditional print adspace inserts wraps or supplements sponsored content etc
bull Newsworksrsquo website is full of facts figures research and insights Take full advantage of this an imaginative and compelling take on the numbers could be a powerful way to communicate your message bringing fresh thinking to the insights could lead you to a whole new way to engage with a newsbrand audiencehellip
bull Think how you could evolve your response to include things like membership or events ndash plus any future platforms that newsbrands could or should occupy where trust and engagement really matter
bull Your concept should work with any and all of Newsworksrsquo stakeholders But would your campaign be the same no matter the newsbrand or might the delivery change across different titles
bull Your audiencersquos time is precious How will you engage them and reward their engagement And what are the challenges of targeting an audience for whom advertising and marcomms are their bread and butter
bull Look at how newspapers use both words and pictures to tell a story Think about how headlines draw attention or make a more powerful point Remember that ads need to stand out against this compelling editorial ndash make sure your pictures arenrsquot boring or your words bland
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA campaign with a minimum of three different executions with at least one based on a digital newsbrand platform and at least one to run in print
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined

BACKGROUNDldquoStories make us what we are remind us of when wersquore at our worst and celebrate our absolute human best For me itrsquos the only way to communicaterdquo Dan Germain Head of Creative innocent
Stories are one of the oldest and most fundamental forms of communication and ways of understanding culture history and people They can help us understand who we are who we were and what we could become They can connect to our emotional core and give meaning to the world around us
For brands stories are a way to build deeper ties with an audience Storytelling can help to give brands authenticity humanity and relevance People will engage with share and respond to narrative in a way they never would with other marketing messages
Shutterstock is a global marketplace of licensable stock content for creative professionals Their photos illustrations videos music clips and other content move brands transform marketing and bring creative ideas to life And they know that the most impactful imagery is not just beautifully crafted it also evokes real moments and interactions and relatable stories
THE CHALLENGEComedy Rebirth Rags to Riches Tragedy The Quest Overcoming the Monster Voyage and Return ndash these seven plot archetypes can be seen at work everywhere from global news stories to the smallest interaction (see Christopher Bookerrsquos The Seven Basic Plots Why We Tell Stories for a better idea of what these archetypes involve)
Pick three of the seven archetypes and create a static or moving image for each one that tells a story from the modern world Look to unexpected places find the dramatic in the seemingly banal the emotion and humanity that underlies the routine of our daily lives In a fast-moving digital world having the time and space to unfold a story is a luxury not often available How do you distil the essence of it down to something that can be captured in a single moment
WHO ITrsquoS FORTherersquos no target demographic for this brief but consider how and why your images might be used The audience will
come from the tales you choose the stories you decide to tell and how you tell them
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You only have one image for each
archetype one shot to encapsulate a story If you go for moving image each of your three films should only be between 10 and 20 seconds long
bull Your images video snippets should work in isolation but also together Yoursquoll be asked for a short description which the judges may view but your images should be able to speak for themselves without it
bull Will you embody or subvert your archetypes Donrsquot be too literal avoid cliche and obvious imagery

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND The Telegraph is one of the UKrsquos oldest newspapers Loved and trusted by its readership it takes an editorial stance best described as lsquoby those who know their own minds for those who know their own mindsrsquo
Like the British Museum The Telegraph looks traditional on the outside but its insides are more modern and relevant than appearances suggest Itrsquos an intelligent read often humorous occasionally quirky And it has a more balanced take on the world than many people might think
The Telegraph has long been regarded as a brand for older readers But within that much of their journalism cuts across age groups ndash and even political orientation
There is humour in the news pages and story selection Throughout its history The Telegraph has teamed serious reporting and analysis with popular news coverage
Equally many of The Telegraphrsquos established positions resonate with millennials who may not most easily identify with the brand enterprise personal betterment self-reliance independence
THE CHALLENGEThe Telegraph wants to use digital to prove its appeal to readers of any age How can you get them to reconsider what it offers What ideas might turn the heads of open-minded people who are looking for a different kind of news provider What might inspire them to try a Telegraph
Develop an innovative digital solution to get a younger audience to think again about The Telegraph The solution does not necessarily have to focus on lsquonewsrsquo but can look at the broad range of content The Telegraph offers
WHO ITrsquoS FORPeople of working age who know their own minds They do what they want when they want and are looking for a paper that reflects this attitude
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The Telegraph has always stood up for
a plucky almost bloody-minded form of Britishness It appeals to people
who sometimes enjoy taking an obstinate sideways view of life just for the hell of it How might you champion this to find new readers
bull Community comments on news sites appeal only to a hardcore audience and are difficult for most users to engage with How could a news organisation engage with its readers in a more constructive way and create a community around its coverage How does newsgathering change when everyone has a camera and a voice
bull Context most news stories are new twists on long running sagas How should reporting reflect this How should it cater for expert readers who know the story inside out and have strong opinions alongside a reader who is new to it all and wants to get their bearings
bull Definitions of left- and right-wing are now more open to interpretation than ever Even the Conservative Party is pushing for reforms in prison policy social justice and racial discrimination traditionally the territory of the left And therersquos more to a reader than the paper they buy people are often more complex and interesting than theyrsquore given credit for Even those who are held to be on the right can have surprising views and interests We all have common ground we can meet on ndash how might The Telegraph use this
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA digital product or service design to bring The Telegraph to a wider audiencebull Show the user experience or content
scenario eg with a storyboardbull Visualise your concept eg through
illustrations renders video etcbull Include a summary of key insights
from your research bull Show who the product is for
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUNDSince 1961 WWF has worked to reduce the impact of humanityrsquos footprint on the environment and promote biodiversity conservation Their stated mission is ldquoto stop the degradation of the planetrsquos natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with naturerdquo
Through a legacy of hard-hitting awareness-driving campaigns they have become the best-known non-governmental organisation working in this field Theyrsquore also by some way the worldrsquos largest conservation organisation with over 5 million supporters worldwide working in more than 100 countries
WWFrsquos members are essential to the organisation for both funding and support so engaging and recruiting members is crucial to their efforts Members not only pay monthly subscriptions but also serve as a highly receptive lsquomailing listrsquo who can be drawn on for specific campaigns But right now the benefits members and contributors get are limited Currently members simply pay a subscription and receive three magazines a year And this lack of involvement feels like a missed opportunity especially among a younger audience who expect and desire more involvement in the causes they commit themselves to
THE CHALLENGEHow can WWF turn their members into the worldrsquos most active global conservation community How can they modernise their membership and enable their existing supporter base to become more active
Design an innovative membership offering to galvanise existing members to action and drive the recruitment of new ones
WHO ITrsquoS FORThe audience is global Both existing WWF members and potential ones The core target audience is 25-40 years old but your concept should also to appeal to 16-25 year olds
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about empowering a
community but itrsquos also about trying to bring others into that community So be provocative be inventive but be
relevant bull Are there any partnerships WWF could
put into place that would help take the activity to the next level
bull Think about value exchange Do members simply give money or could their commitment shift to involve time expertise or reach (GoodGym or RockCorps are great examples of communities whose members commit something other than money)
bull This is an open brief so itrsquos up to you how you approach the challenge Do you shake up the membership package itself to make it more dynamic and engaging Is it a comms campaign that motivates members into action Is it a service that links members up with conservation opportunities
bull You choose the platform Consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms social media apps PR product experience and anything else that makes sense to you
bull Whatever your solution it needs to work both digitally and in the real world on and offline
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A product service or campaign idea to
turn young WWF members into an active conservation community
bull Document and show your research and how you developed your ideas
Where you need to use the WWF logo in your work use the special WWF x DampAD logo included in the brief pack Do not use the standard WWF logo
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Present your solution using either a video (max 2 mins) or up to eight presentation slide images

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND We live in a fragmented digital world so tribes and subcultures donrsquot exist around music and locations anymore (Mods on Carnaby Street Punks on Kings Roadhellip) So how can Dr Martens retain its USP of non-conformist authenticity and rebellious self-expression whilst trying to appeal and remain relevant to a broader base of millennials living in a fast-paced digital mix-and-match society
Radio is ideally placed to rise to this challenge At its best radio is all about authenticity of music sound and voice Listeners are hugely sensitive to genuine content and live radio in particular champions expressiveness and inclusiveness Radio interacts neatly with other channels (you can listen to the radio while you do almost anything) And it has the power to unite people through shared cultural experiences and influence our emotions ndash especially through music (something thatrsquos very relevant to the heritage of Dr Martens)
THE CHALLENGEHarness radiorsquos potential to connect customers old and new with Dr Martensrsquo spirit of rebellious self-expression Use its power to evolve the brandrsquos current platform What do you stand for STANDFORSOMETHINGblogdrmartenscomcategorystandforsomething
Experiment with and push the boundaries of what radio advertising can be Your response could be anything from innovative explorations of radio and its role in our lives (eg K9FM) to original perfectly crafted playful ads or branded content
WHO ITrsquoS FORProud and passionate life-long fans of the brand as well as new customers ndash anyone who can identify with Dr Martensrsquo celebration of authenticity and self-expression Theyrsquore not from any particular tribe or demographic Instead theyrsquore focused on individual style yet all share a united spirit
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about innovative use of radio
what you include in the campaign is up to you It could be a single piece of branded content a series of seemingly traditional 30rdquo ads that builds to something bigger than the sum of its
parts a new way to engage with live music and festivals that Dr Martens can own and champion something that reaches people at work or play driving or jogging pre-recorded and scheduled or live and disruptive
bull Radio lives or dies by its use of sound and the strength of its writing So as well as a great concept the judges will be looking for brilliantly crafted copy to bring the idea to life (and feel free to include a beautifully executed sound-design accompaniment if thatrsquos also relevant to your concept)
bull Consider how radio can interact and link with other channels and platforms for an integrated campaign particularly social media Think where when and how listeners engage with radio But radio must be at the heart and soul of your concept not just a signpost to online activity
bull Traditionally radio tends to be used for spots with direct calls-to-action but it can do so much more This brief is about brand building so therersquos no CTA you must include (though you can if it makes sense for your concept)
bull Donrsquot simply extend the current campaign into radio itrsquos about evolving STANDFORSOMETHING into something new bold and exciting
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALTherersquos no mandatory CTA but your response should reference the current brand platform including the question lsquoWhat do you stand forrsquo or the strapline STANDFORSOMETHING
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Submit any scripts as written text-only PDFs (max 6 A4 pages) If you have multiple scripts submit each one as a separate PDF

In 2011 Bill Fordrsquos TED talk set out a surprising paradox a car company wanted to be part of the solution for sustainable global movement of people goods and services Later Bill was the keynote speaker at Mobile World Congress a ldquocar guyrdquo asking the world of mobile technology developers and entrepreneurs to join together with businesses legislators and leaders to achieve freedom of movement for all
Ford currently has 25 live global mobility experiments underway designed to anticipate what we will want and need in tomorrowrsquos transportation ecosystem They want to be part of the solution
If every epic journey starts with a small first step every cultural shift starts with being open to new ideas and together doing something small to change attitude and behaviour at scale Ford are looking to move people en masse to engage with new and experimental travel solutions and sustainably change the way the world moves
THE CHALLENGEUse Ford as a catalyst to create lasting city-wide change to how we get around Follow these steps to find your solution
1 Select a place in need of change Choose a large city or a megacity with complex transport needs It can be anywhere in the world but you must explain why you chose it
2 and use a Ford technology mobility experiment or asset You must make use of a Ford technology experiment or asset as part of your response but you can be creative with it Think laterally
3 to change a movement-related behaviour or issue for the betterDevelop a campaign product or experience to create lasting positive behaviour change to improve everyday movement around the city
WHO ITrsquoS FORAnyone impacted by congested cities who is frustrated by the difficulties of trying to travel from A to B Think about city living holistically and consider different city dweller experiences around transport If you choose a particular target audience explain why
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider small and attainable ways
that people can change their behaviour on an individual level that together adds up to a big difference Eg Shiftrsquos Action Tracker or Meat Free Mondays ndash theyrsquore tackling different issues but can you learn something from them that could be applied to transport
bull Consider Fordrsquos assets brand reach history and values diverse vehicles and technologies smart mobility experiments (how could you leverage or evolve these) employees engineers designers salespeople drivers racers owners former-owners locations factories showrooms test tracks etc What audiences can you activate at scale
bull What else can you use as well as Ford assets Think about how a cityrsquos ldquostreet furniturerdquo could be repurposed ndash even if only for one day parking bays traffic lights traffic wardens multistorey car parks transport hubs and stations one-way streets billboards pavements roundabouts How can the everyday backdrop in which we move become inspirational
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIAL Your idea needs to have an authentic link to Ford and its brand values Your idea can challenge preconceptions of the brand but must help a wider audience see the greater purpose of keeping the world moving

But whatrsquos in store for window displays as the way we buy continues to change
THE CHALLENGECreate an inspiring inventive conceptually relevant and eye-catching display for John Lewisrsquo flagship Oxford Street store for the Autumn season that reshapes expectations of what shop windows do and can be but keeps product firmly at its heart

immersive and inventive take on traditional window setting a bold graphic reinterpretation of the space a cutting-edge digital interaction or all or none of the above Does it stand alone or link to other media (eg website app or social)
bull Think about everything from how to engage the senses or bring in elements of storytelling to potential collaborations (you could propose an amazing artist or illustrator to work with for maximum visual impact) The scope is limitless

BACKGROUNDDesign has the power to do good but to achieve this you need the courage to believe in what you have to say the conviction to tell it and the clarity to communicate it
Monotype creates typefaces and technologies that help people tell their storymdashin any language on any device and with a clear voice
THE CHALLENGETake a cause you believe in and use the power of type to make a difference Design with typography to agitate educate and organise the world and your audience Use typography to help people believe in your cause and its purpose to motivate and inspire people in a relevant way to your cause and above all to make an impact
Typography is the soapbox for your rallying cry Used at its best it can empower your words evoke meaning set tone and inspire ideas Without it your message could be drowned out Where would the students in Paris of rsquo68 be without their screenprinted stencil type Where would Revolutionary Russia be without its condensed sans serif gothics And would Occupy have inspired the collective imagination without democratic digital design and lsquodesktop publishingrsquo The right typeface used in the right way gives a cause movement or change its true voice
Think about what you want to say and how you want to say it where you should or could say it how you might use type to improve your message to initiate change or to motivate and inspire
WHO ITrsquoS FORThose passionate about a cause those who want to be more passionate about a cause or those with ideas on how a cause can reach more people or be more impactful with the right typeface
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You can pick anything from a global
topic to a local or personal issuebull Think about the world of your cause
and those already active within it What means do they have to join you Do they have digital access or would a predominantly analogue response be more fitting What materials are related to the cause What methods
bull Think about the right typeface for the
right cause The typeface itself can become part of the message or the story ndash its origins its history and how you choose to use it ndash as much as or more than the words themselves
bull Design for protest can be visceral as response time is short Protest is both active and reactive By its nature its messages are often hurried scrawled and raw This translates digitally too into transmissions that are often quick and immediate How does this affect your cause or movement What kind of typeface would suit this type of messaging How would a typeface enhance its impact
bull Remember your end goal Make it bold Make it powerful Make a difference
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA typography-led integrated graphic design campaign including bull At least one posterbull At least one digital elementbull At least one other touchpoint
Your touchpoints could include banners badges moving image ads newspaper ads website banners or other online promotions ndash anything that could raise awareness and get people engaged The more innovative the better
bull Show how your output is relevant to your cause alongside your execution
bull Whatever applications you choose use only type as the major creative expression for your cause
bull Your executions must be visually linked to one another so that they can be easily recognised as part of the same movement

BACKGROUNDBanking ndash itrsquos not everyonersquos favourite task But undeniably in a world where the economic state is uncertain and rates rise and fall it is important to know your money
Nationwide are a mutual building society meaning they are owned by and run for the benefit of their members Unlike a bank they donrsquot exist to line shareholdersrsquo pockets ndash instead at the heart of their business and their existence is the commitment to being on the side of their members in the long- and short-term helping them achieve financial goals
The current financial climate often hits the youngest of the population the hardest with savings rates low and the costs of living high we need now to re-engage with the 16-25 year old audience This generation expects more than ever from their service providers With services like Airbnb and Uber changing the way we view and engage with providers consumers are used to cheaper prices seamless experiences and on-demand customer service 247 ndash and why should their bank be any different
THE CHALLENGEWith financial services lagging behind in terms of connecting with this age group how can we shake up the market to cater to their ever-changing needs
Redefine banking for a student youth audience Forget what banking looks like now and our current expectations from financial service providers throw out the rule-book for what a bank account does how it does it and what it looks like
This is an open brief you could look at redesigning the bank account itself from a product and service perspective or you could revolutionise the sector with a completely new communication approach You choose the platform and consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms the in-store banking experience social media apps PR product and anything else that makes sense to you
WHO ITrsquoS FOR16-25 year olds This young and financially un-committed population have likely just moved out of their parental household and are venturing
into the world to start their own adventures They are savvy about the brands they choose and value transparency and ethics brands who offer experiences and flawless service win over this cohort
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider how Nationwidersquos brand
position and unique stance as a mutual rather than a bank may play a part in a solution for engaging this age group Could the idea of supporting our members over generations be appealing
bull Think about the goals and mindset of people of this age group ndash what are they trying to achieve What are their challenges How could Nationwide help them achieve their goals
bull Think about brands which connect well with this age group What values does this age group care about
bull Donrsquot just think about what financial services already do and try to plug this generation into it Donrsquot be limited by current products or ways of banking Itrsquos all up for creative exploration
bull Think about what this generation want and need from a financial service provider (even if they donrsquot know it yet) and find a way for Nationwide to deliver that
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A concept that changes the face of
banking for young peoplebull Document and show your research
and how you developed your ideas This could be through a lsquomaking ofrsquo video or something simpler

But this isnrsquot always recognised People have lost confidence in newspapers as print circulations have declined and theyrsquore no longer seen as a ldquomust haverdquo medium for advertisers The scale nature and value of their audience engagement is often misunderstood
THE CHALLENGEFacts figures and research alone may prove the value of newspaper advertising But how do you go beyond them to make advertisers believe They need to feel instinctively the trust audiences place in the words they read in newspapers And they need to understand how and why to tap into this
So create a campaign using newsbrands as your channel that brings to life the importance and power of the written word in an age of digital overload and fleeting attention
WHO ITrsquoS FORTarget media agencies (particularly young media planners who think that people donrsquot read newspapers anymore) as well as clients creative agencies media journalists and influencers But the campaign is to be run through national newsbrands so the secondary audience is any engaged reader WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The challenge is about the power of
the written word so copy is likely to be at the heart of your campaign The delivery and context need to do the copy justice and bring it to life so consider the most impactful visual approach to get your message across typography illustration photography infographics use of motion (for digital platforms) anything else appropriate

bull Your audiencersquos time is precious How will you engage them and reward their engagement And what are the challenges of targeting an audience for whom advertising and marcomms are their bread and butter
bull Look at how newspapers use both words and pictures to tell a story Think about how headlines draw attention or make a more powerful point Remember that ads need to stand out against this compelling editorial ndash make sure your pictures arenrsquot boring or your words bland
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA campaign with a minimum of three different executions with at least one based on a digital newsbrand platform and at least one to run in print

BACKGROUNDldquoStories make us what we are remind us of when wersquore at our worst and celebrate our absolute human best For me itrsquos the only way to communicaterdquo Dan Germain Head of Creative innocent
Stories are one of the oldest and most fundamental forms of communication and ways of understanding culture history and people They can help us understand who we are who we were and what we could become They can connect to our emotional core and give meaning to the world around us
For brands stories are a way to build deeper ties with an audience Storytelling can help to give brands authenticity humanity and relevance People will engage with share and respond to narrative in a way they never would with other marketing messages
Shutterstock is a global marketplace of licensable stock content for creative professionals Their photos illustrations videos music clips and other content move brands transform marketing and bring creative ideas to life And they know that the most impactful imagery is not just beautifully crafted it also evokes real moments and interactions and relatable stories
THE CHALLENGEComedy Rebirth Rags to Riches Tragedy The Quest Overcoming the Monster Voyage and Return ndash these seven plot archetypes can be seen at work everywhere from global news stories to the smallest interaction (see Christopher Bookerrsquos The Seven Basic Plots Why We Tell Stories for a better idea of what these archetypes involve)

bull Your images video snippets should work in isolation but also together Yoursquoll be asked for a short description which the judges may view but your images should be able to speak for themselves without it
bull Will you embody or subvert your archetypes Donrsquot be too literal avoid cliche and obvious imagery
bull Your image should be powerful and impactful even at a glance but have the depth to reward closer inspection and repeated viewing Novelty isnrsquot enough
bull All image-making approaches are welcome across illustration photography and moving image hand-crafted to computer generated lo-fi to high-tech
bull Be authentic Your stories can be fact or fiction but they need to be genuine if theyrsquore going to mean anything to people

The Telegraph has long been regarded as a brand for older readers But within that much of their journalism cuts across age groups ndash and even political orientation
There is humour in the news pages and story selection Throughout its history The Telegraph has teamed serious reporting and analysis with popular news coverage
Equally many of The Telegraphrsquos established positions resonate with millennials who may not most easily identify with the brand enterprise personal betterment self-reliance independence
THE CHALLENGEThe Telegraph wants to use digital to prove its appeal to readers of any age How can you get them to reconsider what it offers What ideas might turn the heads of open-minded people who are looking for a different kind of news provider What might inspire them to try a Telegraph
Develop an innovative digital solution to get a younger audience to think again about The Telegraph The solution does not necessarily have to focus on lsquonewsrsquo but can look at the broad range of content The Telegraph offers
WHO ITrsquoS FORPeople of working age who know their own minds They do what they want when they want and are looking for a paper that reflects this attitude
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The Telegraph has always stood up for
a plucky almost bloody-minded form of Britishness It appeals to people
who sometimes enjoy taking an obstinate sideways view of life just for the hell of it How might you champion this to find new readers
bull Community comments on news sites appeal only to a hardcore audience and are difficult for most users to engage with How could a news organisation engage with its readers in a more constructive way and create a community around its coverage How does newsgathering change when everyone has a camera and a voice
bull Context most news stories are new twists on long running sagas How should reporting reflect this How should it cater for expert readers who know the story inside out and have strong opinions alongside a reader who is new to it all and wants to get their bearings
bull Definitions of left- and right-wing are now more open to interpretation than ever Even the Conservative Party is pushing for reforms in prison policy social justice and racial discrimination traditionally the territory of the left And therersquos more to a reader than the paper they buy people are often more complex and interesting than theyrsquore given credit for Even those who are held to be on the right can have surprising views and interests We all have common ground we can meet on ndash how might The Telegraph use this
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA digital product or service design to bring The Telegraph to a wider audiencebull Show the user experience or content
scenario eg with a storyboardbull Visualise your concept eg through
illustrations renders video etcbull Include a summary of key insights
from your research bull Show who the product is for

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUNDSince 1961 WWF has worked to reduce the impact of humanityrsquos footprint on the environment and promote biodiversity conservation Their stated mission is ldquoto stop the degradation of the planetrsquos natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with naturerdquo
Through a legacy of hard-hitting awareness-driving campaigns they have become the best-known non-governmental organisation working in this field Theyrsquore also by some way the worldrsquos largest conservation organisation with over 5 million supporters worldwide working in more than 100 countries
WWFrsquos members are essential to the organisation for both funding and support so engaging and recruiting members is crucial to their efforts Members not only pay monthly subscriptions but also serve as a highly receptive lsquomailing listrsquo who can be drawn on for specific campaigns But right now the benefits members and contributors get are limited Currently members simply pay a subscription and receive three magazines a year And this lack of involvement feels like a missed opportunity especially among a younger audience who expect and desire more involvement in the causes they commit themselves to
THE CHALLENGEHow can WWF turn their members into the worldrsquos most active global conservation community How can they modernise their membership and enable their existing supporter base to become more active
Design an innovative membership offering to galvanise existing members to action and drive the recruitment of new ones
WHO ITrsquoS FORThe audience is global Both existing WWF members and potential ones The core target audience is 25-40 years old but your concept should also to appeal to 16-25 year olds
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about empowering a
community but itrsquos also about trying to bring others into that community So be provocative be inventive but be
relevant bull Are there any partnerships WWF could
put into place that would help take the activity to the next level
bull Think about value exchange Do members simply give money or could their commitment shift to involve time expertise or reach (GoodGym or RockCorps are great examples of communities whose members commit something other than money)
bull This is an open brief so itrsquos up to you how you approach the challenge Do you shake up the membership package itself to make it more dynamic and engaging Is it a comms campaign that motivates members into action Is it a service that links members up with conservation opportunities
bull You choose the platform Consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms social media apps PR product experience and anything else that makes sense to you
bull Whatever your solution it needs to work both digitally and in the real world on and offline
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A product service or campaign idea to
turn young WWF members into an active conservation community
bull Document and show your research and how you developed your ideas
Where you need to use the WWF logo in your work use the special WWF x DampAD logo included in the brief pack Do not use the standard WWF logo
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Present your solution using either a video (max 2 mins) or up to eight presentation slide images

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND We live in a fragmented digital world so tribes and subcultures donrsquot exist around music and locations anymore (Mods on Carnaby Street Punks on Kings Roadhellip) So how can Dr Martens retain its USP of non-conformist authenticity and rebellious self-expression whilst trying to appeal and remain relevant to a broader base of millennials living in a fast-paced digital mix-and-match society
Radio is ideally placed to rise to this challenge At its best radio is all about authenticity of music sound and voice Listeners are hugely sensitive to genuine content and live radio in particular champions expressiveness and inclusiveness Radio interacts neatly with other channels (you can listen to the radio while you do almost anything) And it has the power to unite people through shared cultural experiences and influence our emotions ndash especially through music (something thatrsquos very relevant to the heritage of Dr Martens)
THE CHALLENGEHarness radiorsquos potential to connect customers old and new with Dr Martensrsquo spirit of rebellious self-expression Use its power to evolve the brandrsquos current platform What do you stand for STANDFORSOMETHINGblogdrmartenscomcategorystandforsomething
Experiment with and push the boundaries of what radio advertising can be Your response could be anything from innovative explorations of radio and its role in our lives (eg K9FM) to original perfectly crafted playful ads or branded content
WHO ITrsquoS FORProud and passionate life-long fans of the brand as well as new customers ndash anyone who can identify with Dr Martensrsquo celebration of authenticity and self-expression Theyrsquore not from any particular tribe or demographic Instead theyrsquore focused on individual style yet all share a united spirit
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about innovative use of radio
what you include in the campaign is up to you It could be a single piece of branded content a series of seemingly traditional 30rdquo ads that builds to something bigger than the sum of its
parts a new way to engage with live music and festivals that Dr Martens can own and champion something that reaches people at work or play driving or jogging pre-recorded and scheduled or live and disruptive
bull Radio lives or dies by its use of sound and the strength of its writing So as well as a great concept the judges will be looking for brilliantly crafted copy to bring the idea to life (and feel free to include a beautifully executed sound-design accompaniment if thatrsquos also relevant to your concept)
bull Consider how radio can interact and link with other channels and platforms for an integrated campaign particularly social media Think where when and how listeners engage with radio But radio must be at the heart and soul of your concept not just a signpost to online activity
bull Traditionally radio tends to be used for spots with direct calls-to-action but it can do so much more This brief is about brand building so therersquos no CTA you must include (though you can if it makes sense for your concept)
bull Donrsquot simply extend the current campaign into radio itrsquos about evolving STANDFORSOMETHING into something new bold and exciting
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALTherersquos no mandatory CTA but your response should reference the current brand platform including the question lsquoWhat do you stand forrsquo or the strapline STANDFORSOMETHING
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Submit any scripts as written text-only PDFs (max 6 A4 pages) If you have multiple scripts submit each one as a separate PDF

BACKGROUND Our freedom of mobility is under threat especially in cities Increased urbanisation stretches our metropolitan transport systems beyond their limits leading to congestion and gridlock And as the global population grows with 75 of people in the world expected to live in cities in the decades to come itrsquos more important than ever to tackle this
In 2011 Bill Fordrsquos TED talk set out a surprising paradox a car company wanted to be part of the solution for sustainable global movement of people goods and services Later Bill was the keynote speaker at Mobile World Congress a ldquocar guyrdquo asking the world of mobile technology developers and entrepreneurs to join together with businesses legislators and leaders to achieve freedom of movement for all
Ford currently has 25 live global mobility experiments underway designed to anticipate what we will want and need in tomorrowrsquos transportation ecosystem They want to be part of the solution
If every epic journey starts with a small first step every cultural shift starts with being open to new ideas and together doing something small to change attitude and behaviour at scale Ford are looking to move people en masse to engage with new and experimental travel solutions and sustainably change the way the world moves
THE CHALLENGEUse Ford as a catalyst to create lasting city-wide change to how we get around Follow these steps to find your solution
1 Select a place in need of change Choose a large city or a megacity with complex transport needs It can be anywhere in the world but you must explain why you chose it
2 and use a Ford technology mobility experiment or asset You must make use of a Ford technology experiment or asset as part of your response but you can be creative with it Think laterally
3 to change a movement-related behaviour or issue for the betterDevelop a campaign product or experience to create lasting positive behaviour change to improve everyday movement around the city
WHO ITrsquoS FORAnyone impacted by congested cities who is frustrated by the difficulties of trying to travel from A to B Think about city living holistically and consider different city dweller experiences around transport If you choose a particular target audience explain why
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider small and attainable ways
that people can change their behaviour on an individual level that together adds up to a big difference Eg Shiftrsquos Action Tracker or Meat Free Mondays ndash theyrsquore tackling different issues but can you learn something from them that could be applied to transport
bull Consider Fordrsquos assets brand reach history and values diverse vehicles and technologies smart mobility experiments (how could you leverage or evolve these) employees engineers designers salespeople drivers racers owners former-owners locations factories showrooms test tracks etc What audiences can you activate at scale
bull What else can you use as well as Ford assets Think about how a cityrsquos ldquostreet furniturerdquo could be repurposed ndash even if only for one day parking bays traffic lights traffic wardens multistorey car parks transport hubs and stations one-way streets billboards pavements roundabouts How can the everyday backdrop in which we move become inspirational
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIAL Your idea needs to have an authentic link to Ford and its brand values Your idea can challenge preconceptions of the brand but must help a wider audience see the greater purpose of keeping the world moving
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs

A window display in a bricks-and-mortar store is a powerful touchpoint And in our ultra-sharing world a strong window campaign can become the ultimate image to share on social Itrsquos why yoursquoll see online-only stores launching pop-up shops and holding experiential events theyrsquore trying to tap in to that level of connection and authenticity that comes from having a real physical presence for their consumers to engage with
But whatrsquos in store for window displays as the way we buy continues to change
THE CHALLENGECreate an inspiring inventive conceptually relevant and eye-catching display for John Lewisrsquo flagship Oxford Street store for the Autumn season that reshapes expectations of what shop windows do and can be but keeps product firmly at its heart

retail and the high street How will the way we shop evolve and what role will the shop window play Look at insights into shopping habits and consumer behaviour think about the shopper of the future and what would make this window moment pertinent to
their needs emotions and desiresbull The display is for the Autumn season
how will this affect your responsebull The approach is up to you Is it an
immersive and inventive take on traditional window setting a bold graphic reinterpretation of the space a cutting-edge digital interaction or all or none of the above Does it stand alone or link to other media (eg website app or social)
bull Think about everything from how to engage the senses or bring in elements of storytelling to potential collaborations (you could propose an amazing artist or illustrator to work with for maximum visual impact) The scope is limitless
bull Your window should tempt passers-by into the store and prompt consumers to visit who otherwise might have stayed at home Create something thatrsquos worth getting off the sofa for and blogging or sharing on social media

long 12m deepbull The window must show that John
Lewis is a cross-category brand including electronics fashion and home goods
bull Whether or not your concept includes actual digital elements it must include a link to JohnLewiscom to bring together the digital and physical sides of the business You must also include the John Lewis brand logo

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUNDDesign has the power to do good but to achieve this you need the courage to believe in what you have to say the conviction to tell it and the clarity to communicate it
Monotype creates typefaces and technologies that help people tell their storymdashin any language on any device and with a clear voice
THE CHALLENGETake a cause you believe in and use the power of type to make a difference Design with typography to agitate educate and organise the world and your audience Use typography to help people believe in your cause and its purpose to motivate and inspire people in a relevant way to your cause and above all to make an impact
Typography is the soapbox for your rallying cry Used at its best it can empower your words evoke meaning set tone and inspire ideas Without it your message could be drowned out Where would the students in Paris of rsquo68 be without their screenprinted stencil type Where would Revolutionary Russia be without its condensed sans serif gothics And would Occupy have inspired the collective imagination without democratic digital design and lsquodesktop publishingrsquo The right typeface used in the right way gives a cause movement or change its true voice
Think about what you want to say and how you want to say it where you should or could say it how you might use type to improve your message to initiate change or to motivate and inspire
WHO ITrsquoS FORThose passionate about a cause those who want to be more passionate about a cause or those with ideas on how a cause can reach more people or be more impactful with the right typeface
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You can pick anything from a global
topic to a local or personal issuebull Think about the world of your cause
and those already active within it What means do they have to join you Do they have digital access or would a predominantly analogue response be more fitting What materials are related to the cause What methods
bull Think about the right typeface for the
right cause The typeface itself can become part of the message or the story ndash its origins its history and how you choose to use it ndash as much as or more than the words themselves
bull Design for protest can be visceral as response time is short Protest is both active and reactive By its nature its messages are often hurried scrawled and raw This translates digitally too into transmissions that are often quick and immediate How does this affect your cause or movement What kind of typeface would suit this type of messaging How would a typeface enhance its impact
bull Remember your end goal Make it bold Make it powerful Make a difference
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA typography-led integrated graphic design campaign including bull At least one posterbull At least one digital elementbull At least one other touchpoint
Your touchpoints could include banners badges moving image ads newspaper ads website banners or other online promotions ndash anything that could raise awareness and get people engaged The more innovative the better
bull Show how your output is relevant to your cause alongside your execution
bull Whatever applications you choose use only type as the major creative expression for your cause
bull Your executions must be visually linked to one another so that they can be easily recognised as part of the same movement
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs

BACKGROUNDBanking ndash itrsquos not everyonersquos favourite task But undeniably in a world where the economic state is uncertain and rates rise and fall it is important to know your money
Nationwide are a mutual building society meaning they are owned by and run for the benefit of their members Unlike a bank they donrsquot exist to line shareholdersrsquo pockets ndash instead at the heart of their business and their existence is the commitment to being on the side of their members in the long- and short-term helping them achieve financial goals
The current financial climate often hits the youngest of the population the hardest with savings rates low and the costs of living high we need now to re-engage with the 16-25 year old audience This generation expects more than ever from their service providers With services like Airbnb and Uber changing the way we view and engage with providers consumers are used to cheaper prices seamless experiences and on-demand customer service 247 ndash and why should their bank be any different
THE CHALLENGEWith financial services lagging behind in terms of connecting with this age group how can we shake up the market to cater to their ever-changing needs
Redefine banking for a student youth audience Forget what banking looks like now and our current expectations from financial service providers throw out the rule-book for what a bank account does how it does it and what it looks like
This is an open brief you could look at redesigning the bank account itself from a product and service perspective or you could revolutionise the sector with a completely new communication approach You choose the platform and consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms the in-store banking experience social media apps PR product and anything else that makes sense to you
WHO ITrsquoS FOR16-25 year olds This young and financially un-committed population have likely just moved out of their parental household and are venturing
into the world to start their own adventures They are savvy about the brands they choose and value transparency and ethics brands who offer experiences and flawless service win over this cohort
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider how Nationwidersquos brand
position and unique stance as a mutual rather than a bank may play a part in a solution for engaging this age group Could the idea of supporting our members over generations be appealing
bull Think about the goals and mindset of people of this age group ndash what are they trying to achieve What are their challenges How could Nationwide help them achieve their goals
bull Think about brands which connect well with this age group What values does this age group care about
bull Donrsquot just think about what financial services already do and try to plug this generation into it Donrsquot be limited by current products or ways of banking Itrsquos all up for creative exploration
bull Think about what this generation want and need from a financial service provider (even if they donrsquot know it yet) and find a way for Nationwide to deliver that
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A concept that changes the face of
banking for young peoplebull Document and show your research
and how you developed your ideas This could be through a lsquomaking ofrsquo video or something simpler
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs

BACKGROUNDNewsworks is the marketing body for national newspapers in all their forms Newspapers are hugely trusted by their readers There is a depth of engagement and attention given to the words within them the facts opinions thought leadership They help set the national agenda through advertising as well as editorial a brandrsquos presence in a newspaper signifies immediate importance and stature conveys trust and prompts discussion and action In a world of distractions readers are uniquely willing to give newsbrands their full and undivided attention
But this isnrsquot always recognised People have lost confidence in newspapers as print circulations have declined and theyrsquore no longer seen as a ldquomust haverdquo medium for advertisers The scale nature and value of their audience engagement is often misunderstood
THE CHALLENGEFacts figures and research alone may prove the value of newspaper advertising But how do you go beyond them to make advertisers believe They need to feel instinctively the trust audiences place in the words they read in newspapers And they need to understand how and why to tap into this
So create a campaign using newsbrands as your channel that brings to life the importance and power of the written word in an age of digital overload and fleeting attention
WHO ITrsquoS FORTarget media agencies (particularly young media planners who think that people donrsquot read newspapers anymore) as well as clients creative agencies media journalists and influencers But the campaign is to be run through national newsbrands so the secondary audience is any engaged reader WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The challenge is about the power of
the written word so copy is likely to be at the heart of your campaign The delivery and context need to do the copy justice and bring it to life so consider the most impactful visual approach to get your message across typography illustration photography infographics use of motion (for digital platforms) anything else appropriate
bull The digital and print formats you use are up to you as long as theyrsquore relevant to a newsbrand platform Eg tablet and phone based ads video and interactive traditional print adspace inserts wraps or supplements sponsored content etc
bull Newsworksrsquo website is full of facts figures research and insights Take full advantage of this an imaginative and compelling take on the numbers could be a powerful way to communicate your message bringing fresh thinking to the insights could lead you to a whole new way to engage with a newsbrand audiencehellip
bull Think how you could evolve your response to include things like membership or events ndash plus any future platforms that newsbrands could or should occupy where trust and engagement really matter
bull Your concept should work with any and all of Newsworksrsquo stakeholders But would your campaign be the same no matter the newsbrand or might the delivery change across different titles
bull Your audiencersquos time is precious How will you engage them and reward their engagement And what are the challenges of targeting an audience for whom advertising and marcomms are their bread and butter
bull Look at how newspapers use both words and pictures to tell a story Think about how headlines draw attention or make a more powerful point Remember that ads need to stand out against this compelling editorial ndash make sure your pictures arenrsquot boring or your words bland
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA campaign with a minimum of three different executions with at least one based on a digital newsbrand platform and at least one to run in print
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined

BACKGROUNDldquoStories make us what we are remind us of when wersquore at our worst and celebrate our absolute human best For me itrsquos the only way to communicaterdquo Dan Germain Head of Creative innocent
Stories are one of the oldest and most fundamental forms of communication and ways of understanding culture history and people They can help us understand who we are who we were and what we could become They can connect to our emotional core and give meaning to the world around us
For brands stories are a way to build deeper ties with an audience Storytelling can help to give brands authenticity humanity and relevance People will engage with share and respond to narrative in a way they never would with other marketing messages
Shutterstock is a global marketplace of licensable stock content for creative professionals Their photos illustrations videos music clips and other content move brands transform marketing and bring creative ideas to life And they know that the most impactful imagery is not just beautifully crafted it also evokes real moments and interactions and relatable stories
THE CHALLENGEComedy Rebirth Rags to Riches Tragedy The Quest Overcoming the Monster Voyage and Return ndash these seven plot archetypes can be seen at work everywhere from global news stories to the smallest interaction (see Christopher Bookerrsquos The Seven Basic Plots Why We Tell Stories for a better idea of what these archetypes involve)
Pick three of the seven archetypes and create a static or moving image for each one that tells a story from the modern world Look to unexpected places find the dramatic in the seemingly banal the emotion and humanity that underlies the routine of our daily lives In a fast-moving digital world having the time and space to unfold a story is a luxury not often available How do you distil the essence of it down to something that can be captured in a single moment
WHO ITrsquoS FORTherersquos no target demographic for this brief but consider how and why your images might be used The audience will
come from the tales you choose the stories you decide to tell and how you tell them
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You only have one image for each

bull Your images video snippets should work in isolation but also together Yoursquoll be asked for a short description which the judges may view but your images should be able to speak for themselves without it
bull Will you embody or subvert your archetypes Donrsquot be too literal avoid cliche and obvious imagery
bull Your image should be powerful and impactful even at a glance but have the depth to reward closer inspection and repeated viewing Novelty isnrsquot enough
bull All image-making approaches are welcome across illustration photography and moving image hand-crafted to computer generated lo-fi to high-tech
bull Be authentic Your stories can be fact or fiction but they need to be genuine if theyrsquore going to mean anything to people
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Three images or video snippets each
telling a powerful visual storybull A 30 second video explaining your
process and the background to your work (use voiceovers and or subtitles but donrsquot talk directly to camera)

BACKGROUND The Telegraph is one of the UKrsquos oldest newspapers Loved and trusted by its readership it takes an editorial stance best described as lsquoby those who know their own minds for those who know their own mindsrsquo
Like the British Museum The Telegraph looks traditional on the outside but its insides are more modern and relevant than appearances suggest Itrsquos an intelligent read often humorous occasionally quirky And it has a more balanced take on the world than many people might think
The Telegraph has long been regarded as a brand for older readers But within that much of their journalism cuts across age groups ndash and even political orientation
There is humour in the news pages and story selection Throughout its history The Telegraph has teamed serious reporting and analysis with popular news coverage
Equally many of The Telegraphrsquos established positions resonate with millennials who may not most easily identify with the brand enterprise personal betterment self-reliance independence
THE CHALLENGEThe Telegraph wants to use digital to prove its appeal to readers of any age How can you get them to reconsider what it offers What ideas might turn the heads of open-minded people who are looking for a different kind of news provider What might inspire them to try a Telegraph
Develop an innovative digital solution to get a younger audience to think again about The Telegraph The solution does not necessarily have to focus on lsquonewsrsquo but can look at the broad range of content The Telegraph offers
WHO ITrsquoS FORPeople of working age who know their own minds They do what they want when they want and are looking for a paper that reflects this attitude
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The Telegraph has always stood up for
a plucky almost bloody-minded form of Britishness It appeals to people
who sometimes enjoy taking an obstinate sideways view of life just for the hell of it How might you champion this to find new readers
bull Community comments on news sites appeal only to a hardcore audience and are difficult for most users to engage with How could a news organisation engage with its readers in a more constructive way and create a community around its coverage How does newsgathering change when everyone has a camera and a voice
bull Context most news stories are new twists on long running sagas How should reporting reflect this How should it cater for expert readers who know the story inside out and have strong opinions alongside a reader who is new to it all and wants to get their bearings
bull Definitions of left- and right-wing are now more open to interpretation than ever Even the Conservative Party is pushing for reforms in prison policy social justice and racial discrimination traditionally the territory of the left And therersquos more to a reader than the paper they buy people are often more complex and interesting than theyrsquore given credit for Even those who are held to be on the right can have surprising views and interests We all have common ground we can meet on ndash how might The Telegraph use this
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA digital product or service design to bring The Telegraph to a wider audiencebull Show the user experience or content
scenario eg with a storyboardbull Visualise your concept eg through
illustrations renders video etcbull Include a summary of key insights
from your research bull Show who the product is for

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUNDSince 1961 WWF has worked to reduce the impact of humanityrsquos footprint on the environment and promote biodiversity conservation Their stated mission is ldquoto stop the degradation of the planetrsquos natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with naturerdquo
Through a legacy of hard-hitting awareness-driving campaigns they have become the best-known non-governmental organisation working in this field Theyrsquore also by some way the worldrsquos largest conservation organisation with over 5 million supporters worldwide working in more than 100 countries
WWFrsquos members are essential to the organisation for both funding and support so engaging and recruiting members is crucial to their efforts Members not only pay monthly subscriptions but also serve as a highly receptive lsquomailing listrsquo who can be drawn on for specific campaigns But right now the benefits members and contributors get are limited Currently members simply pay a subscription and receive three magazines a year And this lack of involvement feels like a missed opportunity especially among a younger audience who expect and desire more involvement in the causes they commit themselves to
THE CHALLENGEHow can WWF turn their members into the worldrsquos most active global conservation community How can they modernise their membership and enable their existing supporter base to become more active
Design an innovative membership offering to galvanise existing members to action and drive the recruitment of new ones
WHO ITrsquoS FORThe audience is global Both existing WWF members and potential ones The core target audience is 25-40 years old but your concept should also to appeal to 16-25 year olds
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about empowering a
community but itrsquos also about trying to bring others into that community So be provocative be inventive but be
relevant bull Are there any partnerships WWF could
put into place that would help take the activity to the next level
bull Think about value exchange Do members simply give money or could their commitment shift to involve time expertise or reach (GoodGym or RockCorps are great examples of communities whose members commit something other than money)
bull This is an open brief so itrsquos up to you how you approach the challenge Do you shake up the membership package itself to make it more dynamic and engaging Is it a comms campaign that motivates members into action Is it a service that links members up with conservation opportunities
bull You choose the platform Consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms social media apps PR product experience and anything else that makes sense to you
bull Whatever your solution it needs to work both digitally and in the real world on and offline
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A product service or campaign idea to
turn young WWF members into an active conservation community
bull Document and show your research and how you developed your ideas
Where you need to use the WWF logo in your work use the special WWF x DampAD logo included in the brief pack Do not use the standard WWF logo
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Present your solution using either a video (max 2 mins) or up to eight presentation slide images

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND We live in a fragmented digital world so tribes and subcultures donrsquot exist around music and locations anymore (Mods on Carnaby Street Punks on Kings Roadhellip) So how can Dr Martens retain its USP of non-conformist authenticity and rebellious self-expression whilst trying to appeal and remain relevant to a broader base of millennials living in a fast-paced digital mix-and-match society
Radio is ideally placed to rise to this challenge At its best radio is all about authenticity of music sound and voice Listeners are hugely sensitive to genuine content and live radio in particular champions expressiveness and inclusiveness Radio interacts neatly with other channels (you can listen to the radio while you do almost anything) And it has the power to unite people through shared cultural experiences and influence our emotions ndash especially through music (something thatrsquos very relevant to the heritage of Dr Martens)
THE CHALLENGEHarness radiorsquos potential to connect customers old and new with Dr Martensrsquo spirit of rebellious self-expression Use its power to evolve the brandrsquos current platform What do you stand for STANDFORSOMETHINGblogdrmartenscomcategorystandforsomething
Experiment with and push the boundaries of what radio advertising can be Your response could be anything from innovative explorations of radio and its role in our lives (eg K9FM) to original perfectly crafted playful ads or branded content
WHO ITrsquoS FORProud and passionate life-long fans of the brand as well as new customers ndash anyone who can identify with Dr Martensrsquo celebration of authenticity and self-expression Theyrsquore not from any particular tribe or demographic Instead theyrsquore focused on individual style yet all share a united spirit
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about innovative use of radio
what you include in the campaign is up to you It could be a single piece of branded content a series of seemingly traditional 30rdquo ads that builds to something bigger than the sum of its
parts a new way to engage with live music and festivals that Dr Martens can own and champion something that reaches people at work or play driving or jogging pre-recorded and scheduled or live and disruptive
bull Radio lives or dies by its use of sound and the strength of its writing So as well as a great concept the judges will be looking for brilliantly crafted copy to bring the idea to life (and feel free to include a beautifully executed sound-design accompaniment if thatrsquos also relevant to your concept)
bull Consider how radio can interact and link with other channels and platforms for an integrated campaign particularly social media Think where when and how listeners engage with radio But radio must be at the heart and soul of your concept not just a signpost to online activity
bull Traditionally radio tends to be used for spots with direct calls-to-action but it can do so much more This brief is about brand building so therersquos no CTA you must include (though you can if it makes sense for your concept)
bull Donrsquot simply extend the current campaign into radio itrsquos about evolving STANDFORSOMETHING into something new bold and exciting
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALTherersquos no mandatory CTA but your response should reference the current brand platform including the question lsquoWhat do you stand forrsquo or the strapline STANDFORSOMETHING
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Submit any scripts as written text-only PDFs (max 6 A4 pages) If you have multiple scripts submit each one as a separate PDF
Supporting material (optional)The judges will only look at this if your main deliverable has impressed
You can submit the following as supporting material if relevant audio executions (MP3 only max 2 mins) video (max 1 min) up to four images (JPEG only) interactive work (websites widgets apps HTML etc) physical material (prototypes mockups etc)

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND Our freedom of mobility is under threat especially in cities Increased urbanisation stretches our metropolitan transport systems beyond their limits leading to congestion and gridlock And as the global population grows with 75 of people in the world expected to live in cities in the decades to come itrsquos more important than ever to tackle this
In 2011 Bill Fordrsquos TED talk set out a surprising paradox a car company wanted to be part of the solution for sustainable global movement of people goods and services Later Bill was the keynote speaker at Mobile World Congress a ldquocar guyrdquo asking the world of mobile technology developers and entrepreneurs to join together with businesses legislators and leaders to achieve freedom of movement for all
Ford currently has 25 live global mobility experiments underway designed to anticipate what we will want and need in tomorrowrsquos transportation ecosystem They want to be part of the solution
If every epic journey starts with a small first step every cultural shift starts with being open to new ideas and together doing something small to change attitude and behaviour at scale Ford are looking to move people en masse to engage with new and experimental travel solutions and sustainably change the way the world moves
THE CHALLENGEUse Ford as a catalyst to create lasting city-wide change to how we get around Follow these steps to find your solution
1 Select a place in need of change Choose a large city or a megacity with complex transport needs It can be anywhere in the world but you must explain why you chose it
2 and use a Ford technology mobility experiment or asset You must make use of a Ford technology experiment or asset as part of your response but you can be creative with it Think laterally
3 to change a movement-related behaviour or issue for the betterDevelop a campaign product or experience to create lasting positive behaviour change to improve everyday movement around the city
WHO ITrsquoS FORAnyone impacted by congested cities who is frustrated by the difficulties of trying to travel from A to B Think about city living holistically and consider different city dweller experiences around transport If you choose a particular target audience explain why
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider small and attainable ways
that people can change their behaviour on an individual level that together adds up to a big difference Eg Shiftrsquos Action Tracker or Meat Free Mondays ndash theyrsquore tackling different issues but can you learn something from them that could be applied to transport
bull Consider Fordrsquos assets brand reach history and values diverse vehicles and technologies smart mobility experiments (how could you leverage or evolve these) employees engineers designers salespeople drivers racers owners former-owners locations factories showrooms test tracks etc What audiences can you activate at scale

A window display in a bricks-and-mortar store is a powerful touchpoint And in our ultra-sharing world a strong window campaign can become the ultimate image to share on social Itrsquos why yoursquoll see online-only stores launching pop-up shops and holding experiential events theyrsquore trying to tap in to that level of connection and authenticity that comes from having a real physical presence for their consumers to engage with
But whatrsquos in store for window displays as the way we buy continues to change
THE CHALLENGECreate an inspiring inventive conceptually relevant and eye-catching display for John Lewisrsquo flagship Oxford Street store for the Autumn season that reshapes expectations of what shop windows do and can be but keeps product firmly at its heart

bull Think about everything from how to engage the senses or bring in elements of storytelling to potential collaborations (you could propose an amazing artist or illustrator to work with for maximum visual impact) The scope is limitless

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUNDDesign has the power to do good but to achieve this you need the courage to believe in what you have to say the conviction to tell it and the clarity to communicate it
Monotype creates typefaces and technologies that help people tell their storymdashin any language on any device and with a clear voice
THE CHALLENGETake a cause you believe in and use the power of type to make a difference Design with typography to agitate educate and organise the world and your audience Use typography to help people believe in your cause and its purpose to motivate and inspire people in a relevant way to your cause and above all to make an impact
Typography is the soapbox for your rallying cry Used at its best it can empower your words evoke meaning set tone and inspire ideas Without it your message could be drowned out Where would the students in Paris of rsquo68 be without their screenprinted stencil type Where would Revolutionary Russia be without its condensed sans serif gothics And would Occupy have inspired the collective imagination without democratic digital design and lsquodesktop publishingrsquo The right typeface used in the right way gives a cause movement or change its true voice
Think about what you want to say and how you want to say it where you should or could say it how you might use type to improve your message to initiate change or to motivate and inspire
WHO ITrsquoS FORThose passionate about a cause those who want to be more passionate about a cause or those with ideas on how a cause can reach more people or be more impactful with the right typeface
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You can pick anything from a global
topic to a local or personal issuebull Think about the world of your cause
and those already active within it What means do they have to join you Do they have digital access or would a predominantly analogue response be more fitting What materials are related to the cause What methods
bull Think about the right typeface for the
right cause The typeface itself can become part of the message or the story ndash its origins its history and how you choose to use it ndash as much as or more than the words themselves
bull Design for protest can be visceral as response time is short Protest is both active and reactive By its nature its messages are often hurried scrawled and raw This translates digitally too into transmissions that are often quick and immediate How does this affect your cause or movement What kind of typeface would suit this type of messaging How would a typeface enhance its impact
bull Remember your end goal Make it bold Make it powerful Make a difference
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA typography-led integrated graphic design campaign including bull At least one posterbull At least one digital elementbull At least one other touchpoint
Your touchpoints could include banners badges moving image ads newspaper ads website banners or other online promotions ndash anything that could raise awareness and get people engaged The more innovative the better
bull Show how your output is relevant to your cause alongside your execution
bull Whatever applications you choose use only type as the major creative expression for your cause
bull Your executions must be visually linked to one another so that they can be easily recognised as part of the same movement
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs
Main deliverables (mandatory)Present your solution using either a video (max 2 mins) or up to eight presentation slide images

BACKGROUNDBanking ndash itrsquos not everyonersquos favourite task But undeniably in a world where the economic state is uncertain and rates rise and fall it is important to know your money
Nationwide are a mutual building society meaning they are owned by and run for the benefit of their members Unlike a bank they donrsquot exist to line shareholdersrsquo pockets ndash instead at the heart of their business and their existence is the commitment to being on the side of their members in the long- and short-term helping them achieve financial goals
The current financial climate often hits the youngest of the population the hardest with savings rates low and the costs of living high we need now to re-engage with the 16-25 year old audience This generation expects more than ever from their service providers With services like Airbnb and Uber changing the way we view and engage with providers consumers are used to cheaper prices seamless experiences and on-demand customer service 247 ndash and why should their bank be any different
THE CHALLENGEWith financial services lagging behind in terms of connecting with this age group how can we shake up the market to cater to their ever-changing needs
Redefine banking for a student youth audience Forget what banking looks like now and our current expectations from financial service providers throw out the rule-book for what a bank account does how it does it and what it looks like
This is an open brief you could look at redesigning the bank account itself from a product and service perspective or you could revolutionise the sector with a completely new communication approach You choose the platform and consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms the in-store banking experience social media apps PR product and anything else that makes sense to you
WHO ITrsquoS FOR16-25 year olds This young and financially un-committed population have likely just moved out of their parental household and are venturing
into the world to start their own adventures They are savvy about the brands they choose and value transparency and ethics brands who offer experiences and flawless service win over this cohort
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider how Nationwidersquos brand
position and unique stance as a mutual rather than a bank may play a part in a solution for engaging this age group Could the idea of supporting our members over generations be appealing
bull Think about the goals and mindset of people of this age group ndash what are they trying to achieve What are their challenges How could Nationwide help them achieve their goals
bull Think about brands which connect well with this age group What values does this age group care about
bull Donrsquot just think about what financial services already do and try to plug this generation into it Donrsquot be limited by current products or ways of banking Itrsquos all up for creative exploration
bull Think about what this generation want and need from a financial service provider (even if they donrsquot know it yet) and find a way for Nationwide to deliver that
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A concept that changes the face of
banking for young peoplebull Document and show your research
and how you developed your ideas This could be through a lsquomaking ofrsquo video or something simpler
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs

But this isnrsquot always recognised People have lost confidence in newspapers as print circulations have declined and theyrsquore no longer seen as a ldquomust haverdquo medium for advertisers The scale nature and value of their audience engagement is often misunderstood
THE CHALLENGEFacts figures and research alone may prove the value of newspaper advertising But how do you go beyond them to make advertisers believe They need to feel instinctively the trust audiences place in the words they read in newspapers And they need to understand how and why to tap into this
So create a campaign using newsbrands as your channel that brings to life the importance and power of the written word in an age of digital overload and fleeting attention
WHO ITrsquoS FORTarget media agencies (particularly young media planners who think that people donrsquot read newspapers anymore) as well as clients creative agencies media journalists and influencers But the campaign is to be run through national newsbrands so the secondary audience is any engaged reader WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The challenge is about the power of
the written word so copy is likely to be at the heart of your campaign The delivery and context need to do the copy justice and bring it to life so consider the most impactful visual approach to get your message across typography illustration photography infographics use of motion (for digital platforms) anything else appropriate
bull The digital and print formats you use are up to you as long as theyrsquore relevant to a newsbrand platform Eg tablet and phone based ads video and interactive traditional print adspace inserts wraps or supplements sponsored content etc
bull Newsworksrsquo website is full of facts figures research and insights Take full advantage of this an imaginative and compelling take on the numbers could be a powerful way to communicate your message bringing fresh thinking to the insights could lead you to a whole new way to engage with a newsbrand audiencehellip
bull Think how you could evolve your response to include things like membership or events ndash plus any future platforms that newsbrands could or should occupy where trust and engagement really matter
bull Your concept should work with any and all of Newsworksrsquo stakeholders But would your campaign be the same no matter the newsbrand or might the delivery change across different titles
bull Your audiencersquos time is precious How will you engage them and reward their engagement And what are the challenges of targeting an audience for whom advertising and marcomms are their bread and butter
bull Look at how newspapers use both words and pictures to tell a story Think about how headlines draw attention or make a more powerful point Remember that ads need to stand out against this compelling editorial ndash make sure your pictures arenrsquot boring or your words bland
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA campaign with a minimum of three different executions with at least one based on a digital newsbrand platform and at least one to run in print

BACKGROUNDldquoStories make us what we are remind us of when wersquore at our worst and celebrate our absolute human best For me itrsquos the only way to communicaterdquo Dan Germain Head of Creative innocent
Stories are one of the oldest and most fundamental forms of communication and ways of understanding culture history and people They can help us understand who we are who we were and what we could become They can connect to our emotional core and give meaning to the world around us
For brands stories are a way to build deeper ties with an audience Storytelling can help to give brands authenticity humanity and relevance People will engage with share and respond to narrative in a way they never would with other marketing messages
Shutterstock is a global marketplace of licensable stock content for creative professionals Their photos illustrations videos music clips and other content move brands transform marketing and bring creative ideas to life And they know that the most impactful imagery is not just beautifully crafted it also evokes real moments and interactions and relatable stories
THE CHALLENGEComedy Rebirth Rags to Riches Tragedy The Quest Overcoming the Monster Voyage and Return ndash these seven plot archetypes can be seen at work everywhere from global news stories to the smallest interaction (see Christopher Bookerrsquos The Seven Basic Plots Why We Tell Stories for a better idea of what these archetypes involve)
Pick three of the seven archetypes and create a static or moving image for each one that tells a story from the modern world Look to unexpected places find the dramatic in the seemingly banal the emotion and humanity that underlies the routine of our daily lives In a fast-moving digital world having the time and space to unfold a story is a luxury not often available How do you distil the essence of it down to something that can be captured in a single moment
WHO ITrsquoS FORTherersquos no target demographic for this brief but consider how and why your images might be used The audience will
come from the tales you choose the stories you decide to tell and how you tell them
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You only have one image for each
archetype one shot to encapsulate a story If you go for moving image each of your three films should only be between 10 and 20 seconds long
bull Your images video snippets should work in isolation but also together Yoursquoll be asked for a short description which the judges may view but your images should be able to speak for themselves without it
bull Will you embody or subvert your archetypes Donrsquot be too literal avoid cliche and obvious imagery
bull Your image should be powerful and impactful even at a glance but have the depth to reward closer inspection and repeated viewing Novelty isnrsquot enough
bull All image-making approaches are welcome across illustration photography and moving image hand-crafted to computer generated lo-fi to high-tech
bull Be authentic Your stories can be fact or fiction but they need to be genuine if theyrsquore going to mean anything to people
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Three images or video snippets each
telling a powerful visual storybull A 30 second video explaining your
process and the background to your work (use voiceovers and or subtitles but donrsquot talk directly to camera)
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined

BACKGROUND The Telegraph is one of the UKrsquos oldest newspapers Loved and trusted by its readership it takes an editorial stance best described as lsquoby those who know their own minds for those who know their own mindsrsquo
Like the British Museum The Telegraph looks traditional on the outside but its insides are more modern and relevant than appearances suggest Itrsquos an intelligent read often humorous occasionally quirky And it has a more balanced take on the world than many people might think
The Telegraph has long been regarded as a brand for older readers But within that much of their journalism cuts across age groups ndash and even political orientation
There is humour in the news pages and story selection Throughout its history The Telegraph has teamed serious reporting and analysis with popular news coverage
Equally many of The Telegraphrsquos established positions resonate with millennials who may not most easily identify with the brand enterprise personal betterment self-reliance independence
THE CHALLENGEThe Telegraph wants to use digital to prove its appeal to readers of any age How can you get them to reconsider what it offers What ideas might turn the heads of open-minded people who are looking for a different kind of news provider What might inspire them to try a Telegraph
Develop an innovative digital solution to get a younger audience to think again about The Telegraph The solution does not necessarily have to focus on lsquonewsrsquo but can look at the broad range of content The Telegraph offers
WHO ITrsquoS FORPeople of working age who know their own minds They do what they want when they want and are looking for a paper that reflects this attitude
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The Telegraph has always stood up for
a plucky almost bloody-minded form of Britishness It appeals to people
who sometimes enjoy taking an obstinate sideways view of life just for the hell of it How might you champion this to find new readers
bull Community comments on news sites appeal only to a hardcore audience and are difficult for most users to engage with How could a news organisation engage with its readers in a more constructive way and create a community around its coverage How does newsgathering change when everyone has a camera and a voice
bull Context most news stories are new twists on long running sagas How should reporting reflect this How should it cater for expert readers who know the story inside out and have strong opinions alongside a reader who is new to it all and wants to get their bearings
bull Definitions of left- and right-wing are now more open to interpretation than ever Even the Conservative Party is pushing for reforms in prison policy social justice and racial discrimination traditionally the territory of the left And therersquos more to a reader than the paper they buy people are often more complex and interesting than theyrsquore given credit for Even those who are held to be on the right can have surprising views and interests We all have common ground we can meet on ndash how might The Telegraph use this
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA digital product or service design to bring The Telegraph to a wider audiencebull Show the user experience or content
scenario eg with a storyboardbull Visualise your concept eg through
illustrations renders video etcbull Include a summary of key insights
from your research bull Show who the product is for

BACKGROUNDSince 1961 WWF has worked to reduce the impact of humanityrsquos footprint on the environment and promote biodiversity conservation Their stated mission is ldquoto stop the degradation of the planetrsquos natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with naturerdquo
Through a legacy of hard-hitting awareness-driving campaigns they have become the best-known non-governmental organisation working in this field Theyrsquore also by some way the worldrsquos largest conservation organisation with over 5 million supporters worldwide working in more than 100 countries
WWFrsquos members are essential to the organisation for both funding and support so engaging and recruiting members is crucial to their efforts Members not only pay monthly subscriptions but also serve as a highly receptive lsquomailing listrsquo who can be drawn on for specific campaigns But right now the benefits members and contributors get are limited Currently members simply pay a subscription and receive three magazines a year And this lack of involvement feels like a missed opportunity especially among a younger audience who expect and desire more involvement in the causes they commit themselves to
THE CHALLENGEHow can WWF turn their members into the worldrsquos most active global conservation community How can they modernise their membership and enable their existing supporter base to become more active
Design an innovative membership offering to galvanise existing members to action and drive the recruitment of new ones
WHO ITrsquoS FORThe audience is global Both existing WWF members and potential ones The core target audience is 25-40 years old but your concept should also to appeal to 16-25 year olds
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about empowering a
community but itrsquos also about trying to bring others into that community So be provocative be inventive but be
relevant bull Are there any partnerships WWF could
put into place that would help take the activity to the next level
bull Think about value exchange Do members simply give money or could their commitment shift to involve time expertise or reach (GoodGym or RockCorps are great examples of communities whose members commit something other than money)
bull This is an open brief so itrsquos up to you how you approach the challenge Do you shake up the membership package itself to make it more dynamic and engaging Is it a comms campaign that motivates members into action Is it a service that links members up with conservation opportunities
bull You choose the platform Consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms social media apps PR product experience and anything else that makes sense to you
bull Whatever your solution it needs to work both digitally and in the real world on and offline
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A product service or campaign idea to
turn young WWF members into an active conservation community
bull Document and show your research and how you developed your ideas
Where you need to use the WWF logo in your work use the special WWF x DampAD logo included in the brief pack Do not use the standard WWF logo

TIPS FOR A GREAT PRESENTATION FILM
bull Donrsquot include the brief ndash the judges already know it You can talk about how you interpreted the brief and how this led to your response You donrsquot have long so donrsquot waste time telling the judges what they already know
bull Summarise your project in the first 30 seconds ndash get the juryrsquos attention You can use the rest of the film to go into more detail if you need to but donrsquot make the judges wait until the end of the film to find out your solution
bull Itrsquos fine to include a voiceover speaking over footage but to keep judging fair and unbiased donrsquot include footage where you talk directly to camera
bull Focus on the creative idea and its relevance to the audiencebull You donrsquot need to make it elaborate and fancy Simple films with a clearly presented idea are just as effective bull If yoursquore trying to demonstrate an idea using mock-ups and screenshots clearly show how it would work

BACKGROUND Our freedom of mobility is under threat especially in cities Increased urbanisation stretches our metropolitan transport systems beyond their limits leading to congestion and gridlock And as the global population grows with 75 of people in the world expected to live in cities in the decades to come itrsquos more important than ever to tackle this
In 2011 Bill Fordrsquos TED talk set out a surprising paradox a car company wanted to be part of the solution for sustainable global movement of people goods and services Later Bill was the keynote speaker at Mobile World Congress a ldquocar guyrdquo asking the world of mobile technology developers and entrepreneurs to join together with businesses legislators and leaders to achieve freedom of movement for all
Ford currently has 25 live global mobility experiments underway designed to anticipate what we will want and need in tomorrowrsquos transportation ecosystem They want to be part of the solution
If every epic journey starts with a small first step every cultural shift starts with being open to new ideas and together doing something small to change attitude and behaviour at scale Ford are looking to move people en masse to engage with new and experimental travel solutions and sustainably change the way the world moves
THE CHALLENGEUse Ford as a catalyst to create lasting city-wide change to how we get around Follow these steps to find your solution
1 Select a place in need of change Choose a large city or a megacity with complex transport needs It can be anywhere in the world but you must explain why you chose it
2 and use a Ford technology mobility experiment or asset You must make use of a Ford technology experiment or asset as part of your response but you can be creative with it Think laterally
3 to change a movement-related behaviour or issue for the betterDevelop a campaign product or experience to create lasting positive behaviour change to improve everyday movement around the city
WHO ITrsquoS FORAnyone impacted by congested cities who is frustrated by the difficulties of trying to travel from A to B Think about city living holistically and consider different city dweller experiences around transport If you choose a particular target audience explain why
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider small and attainable ways
that people can change their behaviour on an individual level that together adds up to a big difference Eg Shiftrsquos Action Tracker or Meat Free Mondays ndash theyrsquore tackling different issues but can you learn something from them that could be applied to transport
bull Consider Fordrsquos assets brand reach history and values diverse vehicles and technologies smart mobility experiments (how could you leverage or evolve these) employees engineers designers salespeople drivers racers owners former-owners locations factories showrooms test tracks etc What audiences can you activate at scale
bull What else can you use as well as Ford assets Think about how a cityrsquos ldquostreet furniturerdquo could be repurposed ndash even if only for one day parking bays traffic lights traffic wardens multistorey car parks transport hubs and stations one-way streets billboards pavements roundabouts How can the everyday backdrop in which we move become inspirational
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIAL Your idea needs to have an authentic link to Ford and its brand values Your idea can challenge preconceptions of the brand but must help a wider audience see the greater purpose of keeping the world moving
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs
Main deliverables (mandatory)Present your solution using either a video (max 2 mins) or up to eight presentation slide images

CREATE A WINDOW INTO THE BRAND
Brief set by JOHN LEWIS
In collaboration with HOWARD SULLIVAN YOURSTUDIO
BRAND COMMUNICATIONS SPATIAL DESIGN DIGITAL DESIGN EXPERIENTIAL GRAPHIC DESIGN SET DESIGN
BACKGROUND John Lewis has been part of the British High Street for 150 years Over that time the retail landscape has transformed immeasurably with the biggest shake-up coming from online shopping While business is booming at JohnLewiscom the internet isnrsquot everything Customers often have a strong emotional bond with the physical shopping experience ndash one that starts before they even walk through the door
A window display in a bricks-and-mortar store is a powerful touchpoint And in our ultra-sharing world a strong window campaign can become the ultimate image to share on social Itrsquos why yoursquoll see online-only stores launching pop-up shops and holding experiential events theyrsquore trying to tap in to that level of connection and authenticity that comes from having a real physical presence for their consumers to engage with
But whatrsquos in store for window displays as the way we buy continues to change
THE CHALLENGECreate an inspiring inventive conceptually relevant and eye-catching display for John Lewisrsquo flagship Oxford Street store for the Autumn season that reshapes expectations of what shop windows do and can be but keeps product firmly at its heart
Store windows are there to communicate not decorate so think about what yoursquore saying how and why The ideal shop window will make hurried commuters stop for a closer look and draw new customers to the store WHO ITrsquoS FORJohn Lewis is a well known British brand with a wide customer base Tens of thousands of people pass by their Oxford Street store every day so consider who will see your window display It may be the starting point of a consumerrsquos interaction with the brand so it needs to make a real impact WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Set out your vision for the future of
retail and the high street How will the way we shop evolve and what role will the shop window play Look at insights into shopping habits and consumer behaviour think about the shopper of the future and what would make this window moment pertinent to
their needs emotions and desiresbull The display is for the Autumn season
how will this affect your responsebull The approach is up to you Is it an
immersive and inventive take on traditional window setting a bold graphic reinterpretation of the space a cutting-edge digital interaction or all or none of the above Does it stand alone or link to other media (eg website app or social)
bull Think about everything from how to engage the senses or bring in elements of storytelling to potential collaborations (you could propose an amazing artist or illustrator to work with for maximum visual impact) The scope is limitless
bull Your window should tempt passers-by into the store and prompt consumers to visit who otherwise might have stayed at home Create something thatrsquos worth getting off the sofa for and blogging or sharing on social media
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Window dimensions 24m high 6m
long 12m deepbull The window must show that John
Lewis is a cross-category brand including electronics fashion and home goods
bull Whether or not your concept includes actual digital elements it must include a link to JohnLewiscom to bring together the digital and physical sides of the business You must also include the John Lewis brand logo
bull With a canvas of this scale and exposure imagination is key Visualise your idea in detail how would it look sound and feel What will it do and how What would the experience of seeing or interacting with it be like
bull Include a summary of key insights from your research and the reasons behind your approach
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Upload up to eight presentation slide images showing your solution and research
Supporting material (optional)You can also submit video (max 1 min) interactive work (websites apps etc) physical material (mockups etc)
DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUNDDesign has the power to do good but to achieve this you need the courage to believe in what you have to say the conviction to tell it and the clarity to communicate it
Monotype creates typefaces and technologies that help people tell their storymdashin any language on any device and with a clear voice
THE CHALLENGETake a cause you believe in and use the power of type to make a difference Design with typography to agitate educate and organise the world and your audience Use typography to help people believe in your cause and its purpose to motivate and inspire people in a relevant way to your cause and above all to make an impact
Typography is the soapbox for your rallying cry Used at its best it can empower your words evoke meaning set tone and inspire ideas Without it your message could be drowned out Where would the students in Paris of rsquo68 be without their screenprinted stencil type Where would Revolutionary Russia be without its condensed sans serif gothics And would Occupy have inspired the collective imagination without democratic digital design and lsquodesktop publishingrsquo The right typeface used in the right way gives a cause movement or change its true voice
Think about what you want to say and how you want to say it where you should or could say it how you might use type to improve your message to initiate change or to motivate and inspire
WHO ITrsquoS FORThose passionate about a cause those who want to be more passionate about a cause or those with ideas on how a cause can reach more people or be more impactful with the right typeface
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You can pick anything from a global
topic to a local or personal issuebull Think about the world of your cause
and those already active within it What means do they have to join you Do they have digital access or would a predominantly analogue response be more fitting What materials are related to the cause What methods
bull Think about the right typeface for the
right cause The typeface itself can become part of the message or the story ndash its origins its history and how you choose to use it ndash as much as or more than the words themselves
bull Design for protest can be visceral as response time is short Protest is both active and reactive By its nature its messages are often hurried scrawled and raw This translates digitally too into transmissions that are often quick and immediate How does this affect your cause or movement What kind of typeface would suit this type of messaging How would a typeface enhance its impact
bull Remember your end goal Make it bold Make it powerful Make a difference
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA typography-led integrated graphic design campaign including bull At least one posterbull At least one digital elementbull At least one other touchpoint
Your touchpoints could include banners badges moving image ads newspaper ads website banners or other online promotions ndash anything that could raise awareness and get people engaged The more innovative the better
bull Show how your output is relevant to your cause alongside your execution
bull Whatever applications you choose use only type as the major creative expression for your cause
bull Your executions must be visually linked to one another so that they can be easily recognised as part of the same movement
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs
Main deliverables (mandatory)Present your solution using either a video (max 2 mins) or up to eight presentation slide images
Supporting material (optional)You can submit the following as supporting material interactive work (websites widgets apps HTML etc) physical material (prototypes mockups etc) If your main deliverable is video you can also submit up to four images If your main deliverable is images you can also submit video (max 1 min)

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUNDBanking ndash itrsquos not everyonersquos favourite task But undeniably in a world where the economic state is uncertain and rates rise and fall it is important to know your money
Nationwide are a mutual building society meaning they are owned by and run for the benefit of their members Unlike a bank they donrsquot exist to line shareholdersrsquo pockets ndash instead at the heart of their business and their existence is the commitment to being on the side of their members in the long- and short-term helping them achieve financial goals
The current financial climate often hits the youngest of the population the hardest with savings rates low and the costs of living high we need now to re-engage with the 16-25 year old audience This generation expects more than ever from their service providers With services like Airbnb and Uber changing the way we view and engage with providers consumers are used to cheaper prices seamless experiences and on-demand customer service 247 ndash and why should their bank be any different
THE CHALLENGEWith financial services lagging behind in terms of connecting with this age group how can we shake up the market to cater to their ever-changing needs
Redefine banking for a student youth audience Forget what banking looks like now and our current expectations from financial service providers throw out the rule-book for what a bank account does how it does it and what it looks like
This is an open brief you could look at redesigning the bank account itself from a product and service perspective or you could revolutionise the sector with a completely new communication approach You choose the platform and consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms the in-store banking experience social media apps PR product and anything else that makes sense to you
WHO ITrsquoS FOR16-25 year olds This young and financially un-committed population have likely just moved out of their parental household and are venturing
into the world to start their own adventures They are savvy about the brands they choose and value transparency and ethics brands who offer experiences and flawless service win over this cohort
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider how Nationwidersquos brand
position and unique stance as a mutual rather than a bank may play a part in a solution for engaging this age group Could the idea of supporting our members over generations be appealing
bull Think about the goals and mindset of people of this age group ndash what are they trying to achieve What are their challenges How could Nationwide help them achieve their goals
bull Think about brands which connect well with this age group What values does this age group care about
bull Donrsquot just think about what financial services already do and try to plug this generation into it Donrsquot be limited by current products or ways of banking Itrsquos all up for creative exploration
bull Think about what this generation want and need from a financial service provider (even if they donrsquot know it yet) and find a way for Nationwide to deliver that
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A concept that changes the face of
banking for young peoplebull Document and show your research
and how you developed your ideas This could be through a lsquomaking ofrsquo video or something simpler
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs

BACKGROUNDNewsworks is the marketing body for national newspapers in all their forms Newspapers are hugely trusted by their readers There is a depth of engagement and attention given to the words within them the facts opinions thought leadership They help set the national agenda through advertising as well as editorial a brandrsquos presence in a newspaper signifies immediate importance and stature conveys trust and prompts discussion and action In a world of distractions readers are uniquely willing to give newsbrands their full and undivided attention
But this isnrsquot always recognised People have lost confidence in newspapers as print circulations have declined and theyrsquore no longer seen as a ldquomust haverdquo medium for advertisers The scale nature and value of their audience engagement is often misunderstood
THE CHALLENGEFacts figures and research alone may prove the value of newspaper advertising But how do you go beyond them to make advertisers believe They need to feel instinctively the trust audiences place in the words they read in newspapers And they need to understand how and why to tap into this
So create a campaign using newsbrands as your channel that brings to life the importance and power of the written word in an age of digital overload and fleeting attention
WHO ITrsquoS FORTarget media agencies (particularly young media planners who think that people donrsquot read newspapers anymore) as well as clients creative agencies media journalists and influencers But the campaign is to be run through national newsbrands so the secondary audience is any engaged reader WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The challenge is about the power of
the written word so copy is likely to be at the heart of your campaign The delivery and context need to do the copy justice and bring it to life so consider the most impactful visual approach to get your message across typography illustration photography infographics use of motion (for digital platforms) anything else appropriate
bull The digital and print formats you use are up to you as long as theyrsquore relevant to a newsbrand platform Eg tablet and phone based ads video and interactive traditional print adspace inserts wraps or supplements sponsored content etc
bull Newsworksrsquo website is full of facts figures research and insights Take full advantage of this an imaginative and compelling take on the numbers could be a powerful way to communicate your message bringing fresh thinking to the insights could lead you to a whole new way to engage with a newsbrand audiencehellip
bull Think how you could evolve your response to include things like membership or events ndash plus any future platforms that newsbrands could or should occupy where trust and engagement really matter
bull Your concept should work with any and all of Newsworksrsquo stakeholders But would your campaign be the same no matter the newsbrand or might the delivery change across different titles
bull Your audiencersquos time is precious How will you engage them and reward their engagement And what are the challenges of targeting an audience for whom advertising and marcomms are their bread and butter
bull Look at how newspapers use both words and pictures to tell a story Think about how headlines draw attention or make a more powerful point Remember that ads need to stand out against this compelling editorial ndash make sure your pictures arenrsquot boring or your words bland
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA campaign with a minimum of three different executions with at least one based on a digital newsbrand platform and at least one to run in print
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined

BACKGROUNDldquoStories make us what we are remind us of when wersquore at our worst and celebrate our absolute human best For me itrsquos the only way to communicaterdquo Dan Germain Head of Creative innocent
Stories are one of the oldest and most fundamental forms of communication and ways of understanding culture history and people They can help us understand who we are who we were and what we could become They can connect to our emotional core and give meaning to the world around us
For brands stories are a way to build deeper ties with an audience Storytelling can help to give brands authenticity humanity and relevance People will engage with share and respond to narrative in a way they never would with other marketing messages
Shutterstock is a global marketplace of licensable stock content for creative professionals Their photos illustrations videos music clips and other content move brands transform marketing and bring creative ideas to life And they know that the most impactful imagery is not just beautifully crafted it also evokes real moments and interactions and relatable stories
THE CHALLENGEComedy Rebirth Rags to Riches Tragedy The Quest Overcoming the Monster Voyage and Return ndash these seven plot archetypes can be seen at work everywhere from global news stories to the smallest interaction (see Christopher Bookerrsquos The Seven Basic Plots Why We Tell Stories for a better idea of what these archetypes involve)
Pick three of the seven archetypes and create a static or moving image for each one that tells a story from the modern world Look to unexpected places find the dramatic in the seemingly banal the emotion and humanity that underlies the routine of our daily lives In a fast-moving digital world having the time and space to unfold a story is a luxury not often available How do you distil the essence of it down to something that can be captured in a single moment
WHO ITrsquoS FORTherersquos no target demographic for this brief but consider how and why your images might be used The audience will
come from the tales you choose the stories you decide to tell and how you tell them
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You only have one image for each
archetype one shot to encapsulate a story If you go for moving image each of your three films should only be between 10 and 20 seconds long
bull Your images video snippets should work in isolation but also together Yoursquoll be asked for a short description which the judges may view but your images should be able to speak for themselves without it
bull Will you embody or subvert your archetypes Donrsquot be too literal avoid cliche and obvious imagery
bull Your image should be powerful and impactful even at a glance but have the depth to reward closer inspection and repeated viewing Novelty isnrsquot enough
bull All image-making approaches are welcome across illustration photography and moving image hand-crafted to computer generated lo-fi to high-tech
bull Be authentic Your stories can be fact or fiction but they need to be genuine if theyrsquore going to mean anything to people
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Three images or video snippets each
telling a powerful visual storybull A 30 second video explaining your
process and the background to your work (use voiceovers and or subtitles but donrsquot talk directly to camera)
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)bull Three images (JPEG) or three videos
(10-20 seconds each MPEGMOV)bull One background video (30 seconds

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND The Telegraph is one of the UKrsquos oldest newspapers Loved and trusted by its readership it takes an editorial stance best described as lsquoby those who know their own minds for those who know their own mindsrsquo
Like the British Museum The Telegraph looks traditional on the outside but its insides are more modern and relevant than appearances suggest Itrsquos an intelligent read often humorous occasionally quirky And it has a more balanced take on the world than many people might think
The Telegraph has long been regarded as a brand for older readers But within that much of their journalism cuts across age groups ndash and even political orientation
There is humour in the news pages and story selection Throughout its history The Telegraph has teamed serious reporting and analysis with popular news coverage
Equally many of The Telegraphrsquos established positions resonate with millennials who may not most easily identify with the brand enterprise personal betterment self-reliance independence
THE CHALLENGEThe Telegraph wants to use digital to prove its appeal to readers of any age How can you get them to reconsider what it offers What ideas might turn the heads of open-minded people who are looking for a different kind of news provider What might inspire them to try a Telegraph
Develop an innovative digital solution to get a younger audience to think again about The Telegraph The solution does not necessarily have to focus on lsquonewsrsquo but can look at the broad range of content The Telegraph offers
WHO ITrsquoS FORPeople of working age who know their own minds They do what they want when they want and are looking for a paper that reflects this attitude
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The Telegraph has always stood up for
a plucky almost bloody-minded form of Britishness It appeals to people
who sometimes enjoy taking an obstinate sideways view of life just for the hell of it How might you champion this to find new readers
bull Community comments on news sites appeal only to a hardcore audience and are difficult for most users to engage with How could a news organisation engage with its readers in a more constructive way and create a community around its coverage How does newsgathering change when everyone has a camera and a voice
bull Context most news stories are new twists on long running sagas How should reporting reflect this How should it cater for expert readers who know the story inside out and have strong opinions alongside a reader who is new to it all and wants to get their bearings
bull Definitions of left- and right-wing are now more open to interpretation than ever Even the Conservative Party is pushing for reforms in prison policy social justice and racial discrimination traditionally the territory of the left And therersquos more to a reader than the paper they buy people are often more complex and interesting than theyrsquore given credit for Even those who are held to be on the right can have surprising views and interests We all have common ground we can meet on ndash how might The Telegraph use this
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA digital product or service design to bring The Telegraph to a wider audiencebull Show the user experience or content
scenario eg with a storyboardbull Visualise your concept eg through
illustrations renders video etcbull Include a summary of key insights
from your research bull Show who the product is for

BACKGROUNDSince 1961 WWF has worked to reduce the impact of humanityrsquos footprint on the environment and promote biodiversity conservation Their stated mission is ldquoto stop the degradation of the planetrsquos natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with naturerdquo
Through a legacy of hard-hitting awareness-driving campaigns they have become the best-known non-governmental organisation working in this field Theyrsquore also by some way the worldrsquos largest conservation organisation with over 5 million supporters worldwide working in more than 100 countries
WWFrsquos members are essential to the organisation for both funding and support so engaging and recruiting members is crucial to their efforts Members not only pay monthly subscriptions but also serve as a highly receptive lsquomailing listrsquo who can be drawn on for specific campaigns But right now the benefits members and contributors get are limited Currently members simply pay a subscription and receive three magazines a year And this lack of involvement feels like a missed opportunity especially among a younger audience who expect and desire more involvement in the causes they commit themselves to
THE CHALLENGEHow can WWF turn their members into the worldrsquos most active global conservation community How can they modernise their membership and enable their existing supporter base to become more active
Design an innovative membership offering to galvanise existing members to action and drive the recruitment of new ones
WHO ITrsquoS FORThe audience is global Both existing WWF members and potential ones The core target audience is 25-40 years old but your concept should also to appeal to 16-25 year olds
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about empowering a
community but itrsquos also about trying to bring others into that community So be provocative be inventive but be
relevant bull Are there any partnerships WWF could
put into place that would help take the activity to the next level
bull Think about value exchange Do members simply give money or could their commitment shift to involve time expertise or reach (GoodGym or RockCorps are great examples of communities whose members commit something other than money)
bull This is an open brief so itrsquos up to you how you approach the challenge Do you shake up the membership package itself to make it more dynamic and engaging Is it a comms campaign that motivates members into action Is it a service that links members up with conservation opportunities
bull You choose the platform Consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms social media apps PR product experience and anything else that makes sense to you
bull Whatever your solution it needs to work both digitally and in the real world on and offline
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A product service or campaign idea to
turn young WWF members into an active conservation community
bull Document and show your research and how you developed your ideas
Where you need to use the WWF logo in your work use the special WWF x DampAD logo included in the brief pack Do not use the standard WWF logo

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUNDDesign has the power to do good but to achieve this you need the courage to believe in what you have to say the conviction to tell it and the clarity to communicate it
Monotype creates typefaces and technologies that help people tell their storymdashin any language on any device and with a clear voice
THE CHALLENGETake a cause you believe in and use the power of type to make a difference Design with typography to agitate educate and organise the world and your audience Use typography to help people believe in your cause and its purpose to motivate and inspire people in a relevant way to your cause and above all to make an impact
Typography is the soapbox for your rallying cry Used at its best it can empower your words evoke meaning set tone and inspire ideas Without it your message could be drowned out Where would the students in Paris of rsquo68 be without their screenprinted stencil type Where would Revolutionary Russia be without its condensed sans serif gothics And would Occupy have inspired the collective imagination without democratic digital design and lsquodesktop publishingrsquo The right typeface used in the right way gives a cause movement or change its true voice
Think about what you want to say and how you want to say it where you should or could say it how you might use type to improve your message to initiate change or to motivate and inspire
WHO ITrsquoS FORThose passionate about a cause those who want to be more passionate about a cause or those with ideas on how a cause can reach more people or be more impactful with the right typeface
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You can pick anything from a global
topic to a local or personal issuebull Think about the world of your cause
and those already active within it What means do they have to join you Do they have digital access or would a predominantly analogue response be more fitting What materials are related to the cause What methods
bull Think about the right typeface for the
right cause The typeface itself can become part of the message or the story ndash its origins its history and how you choose to use it ndash as much as or more than the words themselves
bull Design for protest can be visceral as response time is short Protest is both active and reactive By its nature its messages are often hurried scrawled and raw This translates digitally too into transmissions that are often quick and immediate How does this affect your cause or movement What kind of typeface would suit this type of messaging How would a typeface enhance its impact
bull Remember your end goal Make it bold Make it powerful Make a difference
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA typography-led integrated graphic design campaign including bull At least one posterbull At least one digital elementbull At least one other touchpoint
Your touchpoints could include banners badges moving image ads newspaper ads website banners or other online promotions ndash anything that could raise awareness and get people engaged The more innovative the better
bull Show how your output is relevant to your cause alongside your execution
bull Whatever applications you choose use only type as the major creative expression for your cause
bull Your executions must be visually linked to one another so that they can be easily recognised as part of the same movement
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUNDBanking ndash itrsquos not everyonersquos favourite task But undeniably in a world where the economic state is uncertain and rates rise and fall it is important to know your money
Nationwide are a mutual building society meaning they are owned by and run for the benefit of their members Unlike a bank they donrsquot exist to line shareholdersrsquo pockets ndash instead at the heart of their business and their existence is the commitment to being on the side of their members in the long- and short-term helping them achieve financial goals
The current financial climate often hits the youngest of the population the hardest with savings rates low and the costs of living high we need now to re-engage with the 16-25 year old audience This generation expects more than ever from their service providers With services like Airbnb and Uber changing the way we view and engage with providers consumers are used to cheaper prices seamless experiences and on-demand customer service 247 ndash and why should their bank be any different
THE CHALLENGEWith financial services lagging behind in terms of connecting with this age group how can we shake up the market to cater to their ever-changing needs
Redefine banking for a student youth audience Forget what banking looks like now and our current expectations from financial service providers throw out the rule-book for what a bank account does how it does it and what it looks like
This is an open brief you could look at redesigning the bank account itself from a product and service perspective or you could revolutionise the sector with a completely new communication approach You choose the platform and consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms the in-store banking experience social media apps PR product and anything else that makes sense to you
WHO ITrsquoS FOR16-25 year olds This young and financially un-committed population have likely just moved out of their parental household and are venturing
into the world to start their own adventures They are savvy about the brands they choose and value transparency and ethics brands who offer experiences and flawless service win over this cohort
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider how Nationwidersquos brand
position and unique stance as a mutual rather than a bank may play a part in a solution for engaging this age group Could the idea of supporting our members over generations be appealing
bull Think about the goals and mindset of people of this age group ndash what are they trying to achieve What are their challenges How could Nationwide help them achieve their goals
bull Think about brands which connect well with this age group What values does this age group care about
bull Donrsquot just think about what financial services already do and try to plug this generation into it Donrsquot be limited by current products or ways of banking Itrsquos all up for creative exploration
bull Think about what this generation want and need from a financial service provider (even if they donrsquot know it yet) and find a way for Nationwide to deliver that
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A concept that changes the face of
banking for young peoplebull Document and show your research
and how you developed your ideas This could be through a lsquomaking ofrsquo video or something simpler

BACKGROUNDNewsworks is the marketing body for national newspapers in all their forms Newspapers are hugely trusted by their readers There is a depth of engagement and attention given to the words within them the facts opinions thought leadership They help set the national agenda through advertising as well as editorial a brandrsquos presence in a newspaper signifies immediate importance and stature conveys trust and prompts discussion and action In a world of distractions readers are uniquely willing to give newsbrands their full and undivided attention
But this isnrsquot always recognised People have lost confidence in newspapers as print circulations have declined and theyrsquore no longer seen as a ldquomust haverdquo medium for advertisers The scale nature and value of their audience engagement is often misunderstood
THE CHALLENGEFacts figures and research alone may prove the value of newspaper advertising But how do you go beyond them to make advertisers believe They need to feel instinctively the trust audiences place in the words they read in newspapers And they need to understand how and why to tap into this
So create a campaign using newsbrands as your channel that brings to life the importance and power of the written word in an age of digital overload and fleeting attention
WHO ITrsquoS FORTarget media agencies (particularly young media planners who think that people donrsquot read newspapers anymore) as well as clients creative agencies media journalists and influencers But the campaign is to be run through national newsbrands so the secondary audience is any engaged reader WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The challenge is about the power of
the written word so copy is likely to be at the heart of your campaign The delivery and context need to do the copy justice and bring it to life so consider the most impactful visual approach to get your message across typography illustration photography infographics use of motion (for digital platforms) anything else appropriate
bull The digital and print formats you use are up to you as long as theyrsquore relevant to a newsbrand platform Eg tablet and phone based ads video and interactive traditional print adspace inserts wraps or supplements sponsored content etc
bull Newsworksrsquo website is full of facts figures research and insights Take full advantage of this an imaginative and compelling take on the numbers could be a powerful way to communicate your message bringing fresh thinking to the insights could lead you to a whole new way to engage with a newsbrand audiencehellip
bull Think how you could evolve your response to include things like membership or events ndash plus any future platforms that newsbrands could or should occupy where trust and engagement really matter
bull Your concept should work with any and all of Newsworksrsquo stakeholders But would your campaign be the same no matter the newsbrand or might the delivery change across different titles
bull Your audiencersquos time is precious How will you engage them and reward their engagement And what are the challenges of targeting an audience for whom advertising and marcomms are their bread and butter
bull Look at how newspapers use both words and pictures to tell a story Think about how headlines draw attention or make a more powerful point Remember that ads need to stand out against this compelling editorial ndash make sure your pictures arenrsquot boring or your words bland
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA campaign with a minimum of three different executions with at least one based on a digital newsbrand platform and at least one to run in print
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined

BACKGROUNDldquoStories make us what we are remind us of when wersquore at our worst and celebrate our absolute human best For me itrsquos the only way to communicaterdquo Dan Germain Head of Creative innocent
Stories are one of the oldest and most fundamental forms of communication and ways of understanding culture history and people They can help us understand who we are who we were and what we could become They can connect to our emotional core and give meaning to the world around us
For brands stories are a way to build deeper ties with an audience Storytelling can help to give brands authenticity humanity and relevance People will engage with share and respond to narrative in a way they never would with other marketing messages
Shutterstock is a global marketplace of licensable stock content for creative professionals Their photos illustrations videos music clips and other content move brands transform marketing and bring creative ideas to life And they know that the most impactful imagery is not just beautifully crafted it also evokes real moments and interactions and relatable stories
THE CHALLENGEComedy Rebirth Rags to Riches Tragedy The Quest Overcoming the Monster Voyage and Return ndash these seven plot archetypes can be seen at work everywhere from global news stories to the smallest interaction (see Christopher Bookerrsquos The Seven Basic Plots Why We Tell Stories for a better idea of what these archetypes involve)
Pick three of the seven archetypes and create a static or moving image for each one that tells a story from the modern world Look to unexpected places find the dramatic in the seemingly banal the emotion and humanity that underlies the routine of our daily lives In a fast-moving digital world having the time and space to unfold a story is a luxury not often available How do you distil the essence of it down to something that can be captured in a single moment
WHO ITrsquoS FORTherersquos no target demographic for this brief but consider how and why your images might be used The audience will
come from the tales you choose the stories you decide to tell and how you tell them
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You only have one image for each
archetype one shot to encapsulate a story If you go for moving image each of your three films should only be between 10 and 20 seconds long
bull Your images video snippets should work in isolation but also together Yoursquoll be asked for a short description which the judges may view but your images should be able to speak for themselves without it
bull Will you embody or subvert your archetypes Donrsquot be too literal avoid cliche and obvious imagery
bull Your image should be powerful and impactful even at a glance but have the depth to reward closer inspection and repeated viewing Novelty isnrsquot enough
bull All image-making approaches are welcome across illustration photography and moving image hand-crafted to computer generated lo-fi to high-tech
bull Be authentic Your stories can be fact or fiction but they need to be genuine if theyrsquore going to mean anything to people
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Three images or video snippets each
telling a powerful visual storybull A 30 second video explaining your
process and the background to your work (use voiceovers and or subtitles but donrsquot talk directly to camera)
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined

BACKGROUND The Telegraph is one of the UKrsquos oldest newspapers Loved and trusted by its readership it takes an editorial stance best described as lsquoby those who know their own minds for those who know their own mindsrsquo
Like the British Museum The Telegraph looks traditional on the outside but its insides are more modern and relevant than appearances suggest Itrsquos an intelligent read often humorous occasionally quirky And it has a more balanced take on the world than many people might think
The Telegraph has long been regarded as a brand for older readers But within that much of their journalism cuts across age groups ndash and even political orientation
There is humour in the news pages and story selection Throughout its history The Telegraph has teamed serious reporting and analysis with popular news coverage
Equally many of The Telegraphrsquos established positions resonate with millennials who may not most easily identify with the brand enterprise personal betterment self-reliance independence
THE CHALLENGEThe Telegraph wants to use digital to prove its appeal to readers of any age How can you get them to reconsider what it offers What ideas might turn the heads of open-minded people who are looking for a different kind of news provider What might inspire them to try a Telegraph
Develop an innovative digital solution to get a younger audience to think again about The Telegraph The solution does not necessarily have to focus on lsquonewsrsquo but can look at the broad range of content The Telegraph offers
WHO ITrsquoS FORPeople of working age who know their own minds They do what they want when they want and are looking for a paper that reflects this attitude
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The Telegraph has always stood up for
a plucky almost bloody-minded form of Britishness It appeals to people
who sometimes enjoy taking an obstinate sideways view of life just for the hell of it How might you champion this to find new readers
bull Community comments on news sites appeal only to a hardcore audience and are difficult for most users to engage with How could a news organisation engage with its readers in a more constructive way and create a community around its coverage How does newsgathering change when everyone has a camera and a voice
bull Context most news stories are new twists on long running sagas How should reporting reflect this How should it cater for expert readers who know the story inside out and have strong opinions alongside a reader who is new to it all and wants to get their bearings
bull Definitions of left- and right-wing are now more open to interpretation than ever Even the Conservative Party is pushing for reforms in prison policy social justice and racial discrimination traditionally the territory of the left And therersquos more to a reader than the paper they buy people are often more complex and interesting than theyrsquore given credit for Even those who are held to be on the right can have surprising views and interests We all have common ground we can meet on ndash how might The Telegraph use this
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA digital product or service design to bring The Telegraph to a wider audiencebull Show the user experience or content
scenario eg with a storyboardbull Visualise your concept eg through
illustrations renders video etcbull Include a summary of key insights
from your research bull Show who the product is for

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUNDSince 1961 WWF has worked to reduce the impact of humanityrsquos footprint on the environment and promote biodiversity conservation Their stated mission is ldquoto stop the degradation of the planetrsquos natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with naturerdquo
Through a legacy of hard-hitting awareness-driving campaigns they have become the best-known non-governmental organisation working in this field Theyrsquore also by some way the worldrsquos largest conservation organisation with over 5 million supporters worldwide working in more than 100 countries
WWFrsquos members are essential to the organisation for both funding and support so engaging and recruiting members is crucial to their efforts Members not only pay monthly subscriptions but also serve as a highly receptive lsquomailing listrsquo who can be drawn on for specific campaigns But right now the benefits members and contributors get are limited Currently members simply pay a subscription and receive three magazines a year And this lack of involvement feels like a missed opportunity especially among a younger audience who expect and desire more involvement in the causes they commit themselves to
THE CHALLENGEHow can WWF turn their members into the worldrsquos most active global conservation community How can they modernise their membership and enable their existing supporter base to become more active
Design an innovative membership offering to galvanise existing members to action and drive the recruitment of new ones
WHO ITrsquoS FORThe audience is global Both existing WWF members and potential ones The core target audience is 25-40 years old but your concept should also to appeal to 16-25 year olds
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about empowering a
community but itrsquos also about trying to bring others into that community So be provocative be inventive but be
relevant bull Are there any partnerships WWF could
put into place that would help take the activity to the next level
bull Think about value exchange Do members simply give money or could their commitment shift to involve time expertise or reach (GoodGym or RockCorps are great examples of communities whose members commit something other than money)
bull This is an open brief so itrsquos up to you how you approach the challenge Do you shake up the membership package itself to make it more dynamic and engaging Is it a comms campaign that motivates members into action Is it a service that links members up with conservation opportunities
bull You choose the platform Consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms social media apps PR product experience and anything else that makes sense to you
bull Whatever your solution it needs to work both digitally and in the real world on and offline
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A product service or campaign idea to
turn young WWF members into an active conservation community
bull Document and show your research and how you developed your ideas
Where you need to use the WWF logo in your work use the special WWF x DampAD logo included in the brief pack Do not use the standard WWF logo

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUNDDesign has the power to do good but to achieve this you need the courage to believe in what you have to say the conviction to tell it and the clarity to communicate it
Monotype creates typefaces and technologies that help people tell their storymdashin any language on any device and with a clear voice
THE CHALLENGETake a cause you believe in and use the power of type to make a difference Design with typography to agitate educate and organise the world and your audience Use typography to help people believe in your cause and its purpose to motivate and inspire people in a relevant way to your cause and above all to make an impact
Typography is the soapbox for your rallying cry Used at its best it can empower your words evoke meaning set tone and inspire ideas Without it your message could be drowned out Where would the students in Paris of rsquo68 be without their screenprinted stencil type Where would Revolutionary Russia be without its condensed sans serif gothics And would Occupy have inspired the collective imagination without democratic digital design and lsquodesktop publishingrsquo The right typeface used in the right way gives a cause movement or change its true voice
Think about what you want to say and how you want to say it where you should or could say it how you might use type to improve your message to initiate change or to motivate and inspire
WHO ITrsquoS FORThose passionate about a cause those who want to be more passionate about a cause or those with ideas on how a cause can reach more people or be more impactful with the right typeface
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You can pick anything from a global
topic to a local or personal issuebull Think about the world of your cause
and those already active within it What means do they have to join you Do they have digital access or would a predominantly analogue response be more fitting What materials are related to the cause What methods
bull Think about the right typeface for the
right cause The typeface itself can become part of the message or the story ndash its origins its history and how you choose to use it ndash as much as or more than the words themselves
bull Design for protest can be visceral as response time is short Protest is both active and reactive By its nature its messages are often hurried scrawled and raw This translates digitally too into transmissions that are often quick and immediate How does this affect your cause or movement What kind of typeface would suit this type of messaging How would a typeface enhance its impact
bull Remember your end goal Make it bold Make it powerful Make a difference
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA typography-led integrated graphic design campaign including bull At least one posterbull At least one digital elementbull At least one other touchpoint
Your touchpoints could include banners badges moving image ads newspaper ads website banners or other online promotions ndash anything that could raise awareness and get people engaged The more innovative the better
bull Show how your output is relevant to your cause alongside your execution
bull Whatever applications you choose use only type as the major creative expression for your cause
bull Your executions must be visually linked to one another so that they can be easily recognised as part of the same movement
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs
Main deliverables (mandatory)Present your solution using either a video (max 2 mins) or up to eight presentation slide images

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUNDBanking ndash itrsquos not everyonersquos favourite task But undeniably in a world where the economic state is uncertain and rates rise and fall it is important to know your money
Nationwide are a mutual building society meaning they are owned by and run for the benefit of their members Unlike a bank they donrsquot exist to line shareholdersrsquo pockets ndash instead at the heart of their business and their existence is the commitment to being on the side of their members in the long- and short-term helping them achieve financial goals
The current financial climate often hits the youngest of the population the hardest with savings rates low and the costs of living high we need now to re-engage with the 16-25 year old audience This generation expects more than ever from their service providers With services like Airbnb and Uber changing the way we view and engage with providers consumers are used to cheaper prices seamless experiences and on-demand customer service 247 ndash and why should their bank be any different
THE CHALLENGEWith financial services lagging behind in terms of connecting with this age group how can we shake up the market to cater to their ever-changing needs
Redefine banking for a student youth audience Forget what banking looks like now and our current expectations from financial service providers throw out the rule-book for what a bank account does how it does it and what it looks like
This is an open brief you could look at redesigning the bank account itself from a product and service perspective or you could revolutionise the sector with a completely new communication approach You choose the platform and consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms the in-store banking experience social media apps PR product and anything else that makes sense to you
WHO ITrsquoS FOR16-25 year olds This young and financially un-committed population have likely just moved out of their parental household and are venturing
into the world to start their own adventures They are savvy about the brands they choose and value transparency and ethics brands who offer experiences and flawless service win over this cohort
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider how Nationwidersquos brand
position and unique stance as a mutual rather than a bank may play a part in a solution for engaging this age group Could the idea of supporting our members over generations be appealing
bull Think about the goals and mindset of people of this age group ndash what are they trying to achieve What are their challenges How could Nationwide help them achieve their goals
bull Think about brands which connect well with this age group What values does this age group care about
bull Donrsquot just think about what financial services already do and try to plug this generation into it Donrsquot be limited by current products or ways of banking Itrsquos all up for creative exploration
bull Think about what this generation want and need from a financial service provider (even if they donrsquot know it yet) and find a way for Nationwide to deliver that
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A concept that changes the face of
banking for young peoplebull Document and show your research
and how you developed your ideas This could be through a lsquomaking ofrsquo video or something simpler
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs
Main deliverables (mandatory)Present your solution using either a video (max 2 mins) or up to eight presentation slide images

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUNDNewsworks is the marketing body for national newspapers in all their forms Newspapers are hugely trusted by their readers There is a depth of engagement and attention given to the words within them the facts opinions thought leadership They help set the national agenda through advertising as well as editorial a brandrsquos presence in a newspaper signifies immediate importance and stature conveys trust and prompts discussion and action In a world of distractions readers are uniquely willing to give newsbrands their full and undivided attention
But this isnrsquot always recognised People have lost confidence in newspapers as print circulations have declined and theyrsquore no longer seen as a ldquomust haverdquo medium for advertisers The scale nature and value of their audience engagement is often misunderstood
THE CHALLENGEFacts figures and research alone may prove the value of newspaper advertising But how do you go beyond them to make advertisers believe They need to feel instinctively the trust audiences place in the words they read in newspapers And they need to understand how and why to tap into this
So create a campaign using newsbrands as your channel that brings to life the importance and power of the written word in an age of digital overload and fleeting attention
WHO ITrsquoS FORTarget media agencies (particularly young media planners who think that people donrsquot read newspapers anymore) as well as clients creative agencies media journalists and influencers But the campaign is to be run through national newsbrands so the secondary audience is any engaged reader WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The challenge is about the power of
the written word so copy is likely to be at the heart of your campaign The delivery and context need to do the copy justice and bring it to life so consider the most impactful visual approach to get your message across typography illustration photography infographics use of motion (for digital platforms) anything else appropriate
bull The digital and print formats you use are up to you as long as theyrsquore relevant to a newsbrand platform Eg tablet and phone based ads video and interactive traditional print adspace inserts wraps or supplements sponsored content etc

bull Think how you could evolve your response to include things like membership or events ndash plus any future platforms that newsbrands could or should occupy where trust and engagement really matter
bull Your concept should work with any and all of Newsworksrsquo stakeholders But would your campaign be the same no matter the newsbrand or might the delivery change across different titles
bull Your audiencersquos time is precious How will you engage them and reward their engagement And what are the challenges of targeting an audience for whom advertising and marcomms are their bread and butter
bull Look at how newspapers use both words and pictures to tell a story Think about how headlines draw attention or make a more powerful point Remember that ads need to stand out against this compelling editorial ndash make sure your pictures arenrsquot boring or your words bland
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA campaign with a minimum of three different executions with at least one based on a digital newsbrand platform and at least one to run in print
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined

BACKGROUNDldquoStories make us what we are remind us of when wersquore at our worst and celebrate our absolute human best For me itrsquos the only way to communicaterdquo Dan Germain Head of Creative innocent
Stories are one of the oldest and most fundamental forms of communication and ways of understanding culture history and people They can help us understand who we are who we were and what we could become They can connect to our emotional core and give meaning to the world around us
For brands stories are a way to build deeper ties with an audience Storytelling can help to give brands authenticity humanity and relevance People will engage with share and respond to narrative in a way they never would with other marketing messages
Shutterstock is a global marketplace of licensable stock content for creative professionals Their photos illustrations videos music clips and other content move brands transform marketing and bring creative ideas to life And they know that the most impactful imagery is not just beautifully crafted it also evokes real moments and interactions and relatable stories
THE CHALLENGEComedy Rebirth Rags to Riches Tragedy The Quest Overcoming the Monster Voyage and Return ndash these seven plot archetypes can be seen at work everywhere from global news stories to the smallest interaction (see Christopher Bookerrsquos The Seven Basic Plots Why We Tell Stories for a better idea of what these archetypes involve)
Pick three of the seven archetypes and create a static or moving image for each one that tells a story from the modern world Look to unexpected places find the dramatic in the seemingly banal the emotion and humanity that underlies the routine of our daily lives In a fast-moving digital world having the time and space to unfold a story is a luxury not often available How do you distil the essence of it down to something that can be captured in a single moment
WHO ITrsquoS FORTherersquos no target demographic for this brief but consider how and why your images might be used The audience will
come from the tales you choose the stories you decide to tell and how you tell them
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You only have one image for each
archetype one shot to encapsulate a story If you go for moving image each of your three films should only be between 10 and 20 seconds long
bull Your images video snippets should work in isolation but also together Yoursquoll be asked for a short description which the judges may view but your images should be able to speak for themselves without it
bull Will you embody or subvert your archetypes Donrsquot be too literal avoid cliche and obvious imagery
bull Your image should be powerful and impactful even at a glance but have the depth to reward closer inspection and repeated viewing Novelty isnrsquot enough
bull All image-making approaches are welcome across illustration photography and moving image hand-crafted to computer generated lo-fi to high-tech
bull Be authentic Your stories can be fact or fiction but they need to be genuine if theyrsquore going to mean anything to people
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Three images or video snippets each
telling a powerful visual storybull A 30 second video explaining your
process and the background to your work (use voiceovers and or subtitles but donrsquot talk directly to camera)
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)bull Three images (JPEG) or three videos
(10-20 seconds each MPEGMOV)bull One background video (30 seconds

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND The Telegraph is one of the UKrsquos oldest newspapers Loved and trusted by its readership it takes an editorial stance best described as lsquoby those who know their own minds for those who know their own mindsrsquo
Like the British Museum The Telegraph looks traditional on the outside but its insides are more modern and relevant than appearances suggest Itrsquos an intelligent read often humorous occasionally quirky And it has a more balanced take on the world than many people might think
The Telegraph has long been regarded as a brand for older readers But within that much of their journalism cuts across age groups ndash and even political orientation
There is humour in the news pages and story selection Throughout its history The Telegraph has teamed serious reporting and analysis with popular news coverage
Equally many of The Telegraphrsquos established positions resonate with millennials who may not most easily identify with the brand enterprise personal betterment self-reliance independence
THE CHALLENGEThe Telegraph wants to use digital to prove its appeal to readers of any age How can you get them to reconsider what it offers What ideas might turn the heads of open-minded people who are looking for a different kind of news provider What might inspire them to try a Telegraph
Develop an innovative digital solution to get a younger audience to think again about The Telegraph The solution does not necessarily have to focus on lsquonewsrsquo but can look at the broad range of content The Telegraph offers
WHO ITrsquoS FORPeople of working age who know their own minds They do what they want when they want and are looking for a paper that reflects this attitude
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The Telegraph has always stood up for
a plucky almost bloody-minded form of Britishness It appeals to people
who sometimes enjoy taking an obstinate sideways view of life just for the hell of it How might you champion this to find new readers
bull Community comments on news sites appeal only to a hardcore audience and are difficult for most users to engage with How could a news organisation engage with its readers in a more constructive way and create a community around its coverage How does newsgathering change when everyone has a camera and a voice
bull Context most news stories are new twists on long running sagas How should reporting reflect this How should it cater for expert readers who know the story inside out and have strong opinions alongside a reader who is new to it all and wants to get their bearings
bull Definitions of left- and right-wing are now more open to interpretation than ever Even the Conservative Party is pushing for reforms in prison policy social justice and racial discrimination traditionally the territory of the left And therersquos more to a reader than the paper they buy people are often more complex and interesting than theyrsquore given credit for Even those who are held to be on the right can have surprising views and interests We all have common ground we can meet on ndash how might The Telegraph use this
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA digital product or service design to bring The Telegraph to a wider audiencebull Show the user experience or content
scenario eg with a storyboardbull Visualise your concept eg through
illustrations renders video etcbull Include a summary of key insights
from your research bull Show who the product is for

BACKGROUNDSince 1961 WWF has worked to reduce the impact of humanityrsquos footprint on the environment and promote biodiversity conservation Their stated mission is ldquoto stop the degradation of the planetrsquos natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with naturerdquo
Through a legacy of hard-hitting awareness-driving campaigns they have become the best-known non-governmental organisation working in this field Theyrsquore also by some way the worldrsquos largest conservation organisation with over 5 million supporters worldwide working in more than 100 countries
WWFrsquos members are essential to the organisation for both funding and support so engaging and recruiting members is crucial to their efforts Members not only pay monthly subscriptions but also serve as a highly receptive lsquomailing listrsquo who can be drawn on for specific campaigns But right now the benefits members and contributors get are limited Currently members simply pay a subscription and receive three magazines a year And this lack of involvement feels like a missed opportunity especially among a younger audience who expect and desire more involvement in the causes they commit themselves to
THE CHALLENGEHow can WWF turn their members into the worldrsquos most active global conservation community How can they modernise their membership and enable their existing supporter base to become more active
Design an innovative membership offering to galvanise existing members to action and drive the recruitment of new ones
WHO ITrsquoS FORThe audience is global Both existing WWF members and potential ones The core target audience is 25-40 years old but your concept should also to appeal to 16-25 year olds
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about empowering a
community but itrsquos also about trying to bring others into that community So be provocative be inventive but be
relevant bull Are there any partnerships WWF could
put into place that would help take the activity to the next level
bull Think about value exchange Do members simply give money or could their commitment shift to involve time expertise or reach (GoodGym or RockCorps are great examples of communities whose members commit something other than money)
bull This is an open brief so itrsquos up to you how you approach the challenge Do you shake up the membership package itself to make it more dynamic and engaging Is it a comms campaign that motivates members into action Is it a service that links members up with conservation opportunities
bull You choose the platform Consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms social media apps PR product experience and anything else that makes sense to you
bull Whatever your solution it needs to work both digitally and in the real world on and offline
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A product service or campaign idea to
turn young WWF members into an active conservation community
bull Document and show your research and how you developed your ideas
Where you need to use the WWF logo in your work use the special WWF x DampAD logo included in the brief pack Do not use the standard WWF logo

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUNDBanking ndash itrsquos not everyonersquos favourite task But undeniably in a world where the economic state is uncertain and rates rise and fall it is important to know your money
Nationwide are a mutual building society meaning they are owned by and run for the benefit of their members Unlike a bank they donrsquot exist to line shareholdersrsquo pockets ndash instead at the heart of their business and their existence is the commitment to being on the side of their members in the long- and short-term helping them achieve financial goals
The current financial climate often hits the youngest of the population the hardest with savings rates low and the costs of living high we need now to re-engage with the 16-25 year old audience This generation expects more than ever from their service providers With services like Airbnb and Uber changing the way we view and engage with providers consumers are used to cheaper prices seamless experiences and on-demand customer service 247 ndash and why should their bank be any different
THE CHALLENGEWith financial services lagging behind in terms of connecting with this age group how can we shake up the market to cater to their ever-changing needs
Redefine banking for a student youth audience Forget what banking looks like now and our current expectations from financial service providers throw out the rule-book for what a bank account does how it does it and what it looks like
This is an open brief you could look at redesigning the bank account itself from a product and service perspective or you could revolutionise the sector with a completely new communication approach You choose the platform and consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms the in-store banking experience social media apps PR product and anything else that makes sense to you
WHO ITrsquoS FOR16-25 year olds This young and financially un-committed population have likely just moved out of their parental household and are venturing
into the world to start their own adventures They are savvy about the brands they choose and value transparency and ethics brands who offer experiences and flawless service win over this cohort
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull Consider how Nationwidersquos brand
position and unique stance as a mutual rather than a bank may play a part in a solution for engaging this age group Could the idea of supporting our members over generations be appealing
bull Think about the goals and mindset of people of this age group ndash what are they trying to achieve What are their challenges How could Nationwide help them achieve their goals
bull Think about brands which connect well with this age group What values does this age group care about
bull Donrsquot just think about what financial services already do and try to plug this generation into it Donrsquot be limited by current products or ways of banking Itrsquos all up for creative exploration
bull Think about what this generation want and need from a financial service provider (even if they donrsquot know it yet) and find a way for Nationwide to deliver that
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A concept that changes the face of
banking for young peoplebull Document and show your research
and how you developed your ideas This could be through a lsquomaking ofrsquo video or something simpler

BACKGROUNDNewsworks is the marketing body for national newspapers in all their forms Newspapers are hugely trusted by their readers There is a depth of engagement and attention given to the words within them the facts opinions thought leadership They help set the national agenda through advertising as well as editorial a brandrsquos presence in a newspaper signifies immediate importance and stature conveys trust and prompts discussion and action In a world of distractions readers are uniquely willing to give newsbrands their full and undivided attention
But this isnrsquot always recognised People have lost confidence in newspapers as print circulations have declined and theyrsquore no longer seen as a ldquomust haverdquo medium for advertisers The scale nature and value of their audience engagement is often misunderstood
THE CHALLENGEFacts figures and research alone may prove the value of newspaper advertising But how do you go beyond them to make advertisers believe They need to feel instinctively the trust audiences place in the words they read in newspapers And they need to understand how and why to tap into this
So create a campaign using newsbrands as your channel that brings to life the importance and power of the written word in an age of digital overload and fleeting attention
WHO ITrsquoS FORTarget media agencies (particularly young media planners who think that people donrsquot read newspapers anymore) as well as clients creative agencies media journalists and influencers But the campaign is to be run through national newsbrands so the secondary audience is any engaged reader WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The challenge is about the power of
the written word so copy is likely to be at the heart of your campaign The delivery and context need to do the copy justice and bring it to life so consider the most impactful visual approach to get your message across typography illustration photography infographics use of motion (for digital platforms) anything else appropriate
bull The digital and print formats you use are up to you as long as theyrsquore relevant to a newsbrand platform Eg tablet and phone based ads video and interactive traditional print adspace inserts wraps or supplements sponsored content etc

bull Think how you could evolve your response to include things like membership or events ndash plus any future platforms that newsbrands could or should occupy where trust and engagement really matter
bull Your concept should work with any and all of Newsworksrsquo stakeholders But would your campaign be the same no matter the newsbrand or might the delivery change across different titles
bull Your audiencersquos time is precious How will you engage them and reward their engagement And what are the challenges of targeting an audience for whom advertising and marcomms are their bread and butter
bull Look at how newspapers use both words and pictures to tell a story Think about how headlines draw attention or make a more powerful point Remember that ads need to stand out against this compelling editorial ndash make sure your pictures arenrsquot boring or your words bland
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA campaign with a minimum of three different executions with at least one based on a digital newsbrand platform and at least one to run in print
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined

BACKGROUNDldquoStories make us what we are remind us of when wersquore at our worst and celebrate our absolute human best For me itrsquos the only way to communicaterdquo Dan Germain Head of Creative innocent
Stories are one of the oldest and most fundamental forms of communication and ways of understanding culture history and people They can help us understand who we are who we were and what we could become They can connect to our emotional core and give meaning to the world around us
For brands stories are a way to build deeper ties with an audience Storytelling can help to give brands authenticity humanity and relevance People will engage with share and respond to narrative in a way they never would with other marketing messages
Shutterstock is a global marketplace of licensable stock content for creative professionals Their photos illustrations videos music clips and other content move brands transform marketing and bring creative ideas to life And they know that the most impactful imagery is not just beautifully crafted it also evokes real moments and interactions and relatable stories
THE CHALLENGEComedy Rebirth Rags to Riches Tragedy The Quest Overcoming the Monster Voyage and Return ndash these seven plot archetypes can be seen at work everywhere from global news stories to the smallest interaction (see Christopher Bookerrsquos The Seven Basic Plots Why We Tell Stories for a better idea of what these archetypes involve)
Pick three of the seven archetypes and create a static or moving image for each one that tells a story from the modern world Look to unexpected places find the dramatic in the seemingly banal the emotion and humanity that underlies the routine of our daily lives In a fast-moving digital world having the time and space to unfold a story is a luxury not often available How do you distil the essence of it down to something that can be captured in a single moment
WHO ITrsquoS FORTherersquos no target demographic for this brief but consider how and why your images might be used The audience will
come from the tales you choose the stories you decide to tell and how you tell them
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You only have one image for each
archetype one shot to encapsulate a story If you go for moving image each of your three films should only be between 10 and 20 seconds long
bull Your images video snippets should work in isolation but also together Yoursquoll be asked for a short description which the judges may view but your images should be able to speak for themselves without it
bull Will you embody or subvert your archetypes Donrsquot be too literal avoid cliche and obvious imagery
bull Your image should be powerful and impactful even at a glance but have the depth to reward closer inspection and repeated viewing Novelty isnrsquot enough
bull All image-making approaches are welcome across illustration photography and moving image hand-crafted to computer generated lo-fi to high-tech
bull Be authentic Your stories can be fact or fiction but they need to be genuine if theyrsquore going to mean anything to people
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Three images or video snippets each
telling a powerful visual storybull A 30 second video explaining your
process and the background to your work (use voiceovers and or subtitles but donrsquot talk directly to camera)
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)bull Three images (JPEG) or three videos
(10-20 seconds each MPEGMOV)bull One background video (30 seconds
MPEGMOV)

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND The Telegraph is one of the UKrsquos oldest newspapers Loved and trusted by its readership it takes an editorial stance best described as lsquoby those who know their own minds for those who know their own mindsrsquo
Like the British Museum The Telegraph looks traditional on the outside but its insides are more modern and relevant than appearances suggest Itrsquos an intelligent read often humorous occasionally quirky And it has a more balanced take on the world than many people might think
The Telegraph has long been regarded as a brand for older readers But within that much of their journalism cuts across age groups ndash and even political orientation
There is humour in the news pages and story selection Throughout its history The Telegraph has teamed serious reporting and analysis with popular news coverage
Equally many of The Telegraphrsquos established positions resonate with millennials who may not most easily identify with the brand enterprise personal betterment self-reliance independence
THE CHALLENGEThe Telegraph wants to use digital to prove its appeal to readers of any age How can you get them to reconsider what it offers What ideas might turn the heads of open-minded people who are looking for a different kind of news provider What might inspire them to try a Telegraph
Develop an innovative digital solution to get a younger audience to think again about The Telegraph The solution does not necessarily have to focus on lsquonewsrsquo but can look at the broad range of content The Telegraph offers
WHO ITrsquoS FORPeople of working age who know their own minds They do what they want when they want and are looking for a paper that reflects this attitude
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The Telegraph has always stood up for
a plucky almost bloody-minded form of Britishness It appeals to people
who sometimes enjoy taking an obstinate sideways view of life just for the hell of it How might you champion this to find new readers
bull Community comments on news sites appeal only to a hardcore audience and are difficult for most users to engage with How could a news organisation engage with its readers in a more constructive way and create a community around its coverage How does newsgathering change when everyone has a camera and a voice
bull Context most news stories are new twists on long running sagas How should reporting reflect this How should it cater for expert readers who know the story inside out and have strong opinions alongside a reader who is new to it all and wants to get their bearings
bull Definitions of left- and right-wing are now more open to interpretation than ever Even the Conservative Party is pushing for reforms in prison policy social justice and racial discrimination traditionally the territory of the left And therersquos more to a reader than the paper they buy people are often more complex and interesting than theyrsquore given credit for Even those who are held to be on the right can have surprising views and interests We all have common ground we can meet on ndash how might The Telegraph use this
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA digital product or service design to bring The Telegraph to a wider audiencebull Show the user experience or content
scenario eg with a storyboardbull Visualise your concept eg through
illustrations renders video etcbull Include a summary of key insights
from your research bull Show who the product is for

BACKGROUNDSince 1961 WWF has worked to reduce the impact of humanityrsquos footprint on the environment and promote biodiversity conservation Their stated mission is ldquoto stop the degradation of the planetrsquos natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with naturerdquo
Through a legacy of hard-hitting awareness-driving campaigns they have become the best-known non-governmental organisation working in this field Theyrsquore also by some way the worldrsquos largest conservation organisation with over 5 million supporters worldwide working in more than 100 countries
WWFrsquos members are essential to the organisation for both funding and support so engaging and recruiting members is crucial to their efforts Members not only pay monthly subscriptions but also serve as a highly receptive lsquomailing listrsquo who can be drawn on for specific campaigns But right now the benefits members and contributors get are limited Currently members simply pay a subscription and receive three magazines a year And this lack of involvement feels like a missed opportunity especially among a younger audience who expect and desire more involvement in the causes they commit themselves to
THE CHALLENGEHow can WWF turn their members into the worldrsquos most active global conservation community How can they modernise their membership and enable their existing supporter base to become more active
Design an innovative membership offering to galvanise existing members to action and drive the recruitment of new ones
WHO ITrsquoS FORThe audience is global Both existing WWF members and potential ones The core target audience is 25-40 years old but your concept should also to appeal to 16-25 year olds
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about empowering a
community but itrsquos also about trying to bring others into that community So be provocative be inventive but be
relevant bull Are there any partnerships WWF could
put into place that would help take the activity to the next level
bull Think about value exchange Do members simply give money or could their commitment shift to involve time expertise or reach (GoodGym or RockCorps are great examples of communities whose members commit something other than money)
bull This is an open brief so itrsquos up to you how you approach the challenge Do you shake up the membership package itself to make it more dynamic and engaging Is it a comms campaign that motivates members into action Is it a service that links members up with conservation opportunities
bull You choose the platform Consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms social media apps PR product experience and anything else that makes sense to you
bull Whatever your solution it needs to work both digitally and in the real world on and offline
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A product service or campaign idea to
turn young WWF members into an active conservation community
bull Document and show your research and how you developed your ideas
Where you need to use the WWF logo in your work use the special WWF x DampAD logo included in the brief pack Do not use the standard WWF logo

BACKGROUNDNewsworks is the marketing body for national newspapers in all their forms Newspapers are hugely trusted by their readers There is a depth of engagement and attention given to the words within them the facts opinions thought leadership They help set the national agenda through advertising as well as editorial a brandrsquos presence in a newspaper signifies immediate importance and stature conveys trust and prompts discussion and action In a world of distractions readers are uniquely willing to give newsbrands their full and undivided attention
But this isnrsquot always recognised People have lost confidence in newspapers as print circulations have declined and theyrsquore no longer seen as a ldquomust haverdquo medium for advertisers The scale nature and value of their audience engagement is often misunderstood
THE CHALLENGEFacts figures and research alone may prove the value of newspaper advertising But how do you go beyond them to make advertisers believe They need to feel instinctively the trust audiences place in the words they read in newspapers And they need to understand how and why to tap into this
So create a campaign using newsbrands as your channel that brings to life the importance and power of the written word in an age of digital overload and fleeting attention
WHO ITrsquoS FORTarget media agencies (particularly young media planners who think that people donrsquot read newspapers anymore) as well as clients creative agencies media journalists and influencers But the campaign is to be run through national newsbrands so the secondary audience is any engaged reader WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The challenge is about the power of
the written word so copy is likely to be at the heart of your campaign The delivery and context need to do the copy justice and bring it to life so consider the most impactful visual approach to get your message across typography illustration photography infographics use of motion (for digital platforms) anything else appropriate
bull The digital and print formats you use are up to you as long as theyrsquore relevant to a newsbrand platform Eg tablet and phone based ads video and interactive traditional print adspace inserts wraps or supplements sponsored content etc

bull Think how you could evolve your response to include things like membership or events ndash plus any future platforms that newsbrands could or should occupy where trust and engagement really matter
bull Your concept should work with any and all of Newsworksrsquo stakeholders But would your campaign be the same no matter the newsbrand or might the delivery change across different titles
bull Your audiencersquos time is precious How will you engage them and reward their engagement And what are the challenges of targeting an audience for whom advertising and marcomms are their bread and butter
bull Look at how newspapers use both words and pictures to tell a story Think about how headlines draw attention or make a more powerful point Remember that ads need to stand out against this compelling editorial ndash make sure your pictures arenrsquot boring or your words bland
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA campaign with a minimum of three different executions with at least one based on a digital newsbrand platform and at least one to run in print
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined

BACKGROUNDldquoStories make us what we are remind us of when wersquore at our worst and celebrate our absolute human best For me itrsquos the only way to communicaterdquo Dan Germain Head of Creative innocent
Stories are one of the oldest and most fundamental forms of communication and ways of understanding culture history and people They can help us understand who we are who we were and what we could become They can connect to our emotional core and give meaning to the world around us
For brands stories are a way to build deeper ties with an audience Storytelling can help to give brands authenticity humanity and relevance People will engage with share and respond to narrative in a way they never would with other marketing messages
Shutterstock is a global marketplace of licensable stock content for creative professionals Their photos illustrations videos music clips and other content move brands transform marketing and bring creative ideas to life And they know that the most impactful imagery is not just beautifully crafted it also evokes real moments and interactions and relatable stories
THE CHALLENGEComedy Rebirth Rags to Riches Tragedy The Quest Overcoming the Monster Voyage and Return ndash these seven plot archetypes can be seen at work everywhere from global news stories to the smallest interaction (see Christopher Bookerrsquos The Seven Basic Plots Why We Tell Stories for a better idea of what these archetypes involve)
Pick three of the seven archetypes and create a static or moving image for each one that tells a story from the modern world Look to unexpected places find the dramatic in the seemingly banal the emotion and humanity that underlies the routine of our daily lives In a fast-moving digital world having the time and space to unfold a story is a luxury not often available How do you distil the essence of it down to something that can be captured in a single moment
WHO ITrsquoS FORTherersquos no target demographic for this brief but consider how and why your images might be used The audience will
come from the tales you choose the stories you decide to tell and how you tell them
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You only have one image for each
archetype one shot to encapsulate a story If you go for moving image each of your three films should only be between 10 and 20 seconds long
bull Your images video snippets should work in isolation but also together Yoursquoll be asked for a short description which the judges may view but your images should be able to speak for themselves without it
bull Will you embody or subvert your archetypes Donrsquot be too literal avoid cliche and obvious imagery
bull Your image should be powerful and impactful even at a glance but have the depth to reward closer inspection and repeated viewing Novelty isnrsquot enough
bull All image-making approaches are welcome across illustration photography and moving image hand-crafted to computer generated lo-fi to high-tech
bull Be authentic Your stories can be fact or fiction but they need to be genuine if theyrsquore going to mean anything to people
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Three images or video snippets each
telling a powerful visual storybull A 30 second video explaining your
process and the background to your work (use voiceovers and or subtitles but donrsquot talk directly to camera)
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)bull Three images (JPEG) or three videos
(10-20 seconds each MPEGMOV)bull One background video (30 seconds
MPEGMOV)
Supporting material (optional)You can also send a physical print of any static images The judges will only see these if theyrsquore impressed by your digital images and want a closer look

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND The Telegraph is one of the UKrsquos oldest newspapers Loved and trusted by its readership it takes an editorial stance best described as lsquoby those who know their own minds for those who know their own mindsrsquo
Like the British Museum The Telegraph looks traditional on the outside but its insides are more modern and relevant than appearances suggest Itrsquos an intelligent read often humorous occasionally quirky And it has a more balanced take on the world than many people might think
The Telegraph has long been regarded as a brand for older readers But within that much of their journalism cuts across age groups ndash and even political orientation
There is humour in the news pages and story selection Throughout its history The Telegraph has teamed serious reporting and analysis with popular news coverage
Equally many of The Telegraphrsquos established positions resonate with millennials who may not most easily identify with the brand enterprise personal betterment self-reliance independence
THE CHALLENGEThe Telegraph wants to use digital to prove its appeal to readers of any age How can you get them to reconsider what it offers What ideas might turn the heads of open-minded people who are looking for a different kind of news provider What might inspire them to try a Telegraph
Develop an innovative digital solution to get a younger audience to think again about The Telegraph The solution does not necessarily have to focus on lsquonewsrsquo but can look at the broad range of content The Telegraph offers
WHO ITrsquoS FORPeople of working age who know their own minds They do what they want when they want and are looking for a paper that reflects this attitude
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The Telegraph has always stood up for
a plucky almost bloody-minded form of Britishness It appeals to people
who sometimes enjoy taking an obstinate sideways view of life just for the hell of it How might you champion this to find new readers
bull Community comments on news sites appeal only to a hardcore audience and are difficult for most users to engage with How could a news organisation engage with its readers in a more constructive way and create a community around its coverage How does newsgathering change when everyone has a camera and a voice
bull Context most news stories are new twists on long running sagas How should reporting reflect this How should it cater for expert readers who know the story inside out and have strong opinions alongside a reader who is new to it all and wants to get their bearings
bull Definitions of left- and right-wing are now more open to interpretation than ever Even the Conservative Party is pushing for reforms in prison policy social justice and racial discrimination traditionally the territory of the left And therersquos more to a reader than the paper they buy people are often more complex and interesting than theyrsquore given credit for Even those who are held to be on the right can have surprising views and interests We all have common ground we can meet on ndash how might The Telegraph use this
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA digital product or service design to bring The Telegraph to a wider audiencebull Show the user experience or content
scenario eg with a storyboardbull Visualise your concept eg through
illustrations renders video etcbull Include a summary of key insights
from your research bull Show who the product is for

CHALLENGE Inspire a new wave of consumers to understand that purchases can have purpose
Create a relevant and accessible way to inspire and connect with the ldquoalways onrdquo fashion conscious generation Create a retail-led campaign or initiative to spread reach and engagement ndash show how it would get new people involved in the movement It should live online but also have an element of physical customer engagement think packaging point of sale experientialhellip even consider the possibilities presented by the products themselves

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUNDSince 1961 WWF has worked to reduce the impact of humanityrsquos footprint on the environment and promote biodiversity conservation Their stated mission is ldquoto stop the degradation of the planetrsquos natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with naturerdquo
Through a legacy of hard-hitting awareness-driving campaigns they have become the best-known non-governmental organisation working in this field Theyrsquore also by some way the worldrsquos largest conservation organisation with over 5 million supporters worldwide working in more than 100 countries
WWFrsquos members are essential to the organisation for both funding and support so engaging and recruiting members is crucial to their efforts Members not only pay monthly subscriptions but also serve as a highly receptive lsquomailing listrsquo who can be drawn on for specific campaigns But right now the benefits members and contributors get are limited Currently members simply pay a subscription and receive three magazines a year And this lack of involvement feels like a missed opportunity especially among a younger audience who expect and desire more involvement in the causes they commit themselves to
THE CHALLENGEHow can WWF turn their members into the worldrsquos most active global conservation community How can they modernise their membership and enable their existing supporter base to become more active
Design an innovative membership offering to galvanise existing members to action and drive the recruitment of new ones
WHO ITrsquoS FORThe audience is global Both existing WWF members and potential ones The core target audience is 25-40 years old but your concept should also to appeal to 16-25 year olds
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about empowering a
community but itrsquos also about trying to bring others into that community So be provocative be inventive but be
relevant bull Are there any partnerships WWF could
put into place that would help take the activity to the next level
bull Think about value exchange Do members simply give money or could their commitment shift to involve time expertise or reach (GoodGym or RockCorps are great examples of communities whose members commit something other than money)
bull This is an open brief so itrsquos up to you how you approach the challenge Do you shake up the membership package itself to make it more dynamic and engaging Is it a comms campaign that motivates members into action Is it a service that links members up with conservation opportunities

BACKGROUNDldquoStories make us what we are remind us of when wersquore at our worst and celebrate our absolute human best For me itrsquos the only way to communicaterdquo Dan Germain Head of Creative innocent
Stories are one of the oldest and most fundamental forms of communication and ways of understanding culture history and people They can help us understand who we are who we were and what we could become They can connect to our emotional core and give meaning to the world around us
For brands stories are a way to build deeper ties with an audience Storytelling can help to give brands authenticity humanity and relevance People will engage with share and respond to narrative in a way they never would with other marketing messages
Shutterstock is a global marketplace of licensable stock content for creative professionals Their photos illustrations videos music clips and other content move brands transform marketing and bring creative ideas to life And they know that the most impactful imagery is not just beautifully crafted it also evokes real moments and interactions and relatable stories
THE CHALLENGEComedy Rebirth Rags to Riches Tragedy The Quest Overcoming the Monster Voyage and Return ndash these seven plot archetypes can be seen at work everywhere from global news stories to the smallest interaction (see Christopher Bookerrsquos The Seven Basic Plots Why We Tell Stories for a better idea of what these archetypes involve)
Pick three of the seven archetypes and create a static or moving image for each one that tells a story from the modern world Look to unexpected places find the dramatic in the seemingly banal the emotion and humanity that underlies the routine of our daily lives In a fast-moving digital world having the time and space to unfold a story is a luxury not often available How do you distil the essence of it down to something that can be captured in a single moment
WHO ITrsquoS FORTherersquos no target demographic for this brief but consider how and why your images might be used The audience will
come from the tales you choose the stories you decide to tell and how you tell them
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull You only have one image for each
archetype one shot to encapsulate a story If you go for moving image each of your three films should only be between 10 and 20 seconds long
bull Your images video snippets should work in isolation but also together Yoursquoll be asked for a short description which the judges may view but your images should be able to speak for themselves without it
bull Will you embody or subvert your archetypes Donrsquot be too literal avoid cliche and obvious imagery
bull Your image should be powerful and impactful even at a glance but have the depth to reward closer inspection and repeated viewing Novelty isnrsquot enough
bull All image-making approaches are welcome across illustration photography and moving image hand-crafted to computer generated lo-fi to high-tech
bull Be authentic Your stories can be fact or fiction but they need to be genuine if theyrsquore going to mean anything to people
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull Three images or video snippets each
telling a powerful visual storybull A 30 second video explaining your
process and the background to your work (use voiceovers and or subtitles but donrsquot talk directly to camera)
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)bull Three images (JPEG) or three videos
(10-20 seconds each MPEGMOV)bull One background video (30 seconds

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND The Telegraph is one of the UKrsquos oldest newspapers Loved and trusted by its readership it takes an editorial stance best described as lsquoby those who know their own minds for those who know their own mindsrsquo
Like the British Museum The Telegraph looks traditional on the outside but its insides are more modern and relevant than appearances suggest Itrsquos an intelligent read often humorous occasionally quirky And it has a more balanced take on the world than many people might think
The Telegraph has long been regarded as a brand for older readers But within that much of their journalism cuts across age groups ndash and even political orientation
There is humour in the news pages and story selection Throughout its history The Telegraph has teamed serious reporting and analysis with popular news coverage
Equally many of The Telegraphrsquos established positions resonate with millennials who may not most easily identify with the brand enterprise personal betterment self-reliance independence
THE CHALLENGEThe Telegraph wants to use digital to prove its appeal to readers of any age How can you get them to reconsider what it offers What ideas might turn the heads of open-minded people who are looking for a different kind of news provider What might inspire them to try a Telegraph
Develop an innovative digital solution to get a younger audience to think again about The Telegraph The solution does not necessarily have to focus on lsquonewsrsquo but can look at the broad range of content The Telegraph offers
WHO ITrsquoS FORPeople of working age who know their own minds They do what they want when they want and are looking for a paper that reflects this attitude
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The Telegraph has always stood up for
a plucky almost bloody-minded form of Britishness It appeals to people
who sometimes enjoy taking an obstinate sideways view of life just for the hell of it How might you champion this to find new readers
bull Community comments on news sites appeal only to a hardcore audience and are difficult for most users to engage with How could a news organisation engage with its readers in a more constructive way and create a community around its coverage How does newsgathering change when everyone has a camera and a voice
bull Context most news stories are new twists on long running sagas How should reporting reflect this How should it cater for expert readers who know the story inside out and have strong opinions alongside a reader who is new to it all and wants to get their bearings
bull Definitions of left- and right-wing are now more open to interpretation than ever Even the Conservative Party is pushing for reforms in prison policy social justice and racial discrimination traditionally the territory of the left And therersquos more to a reader than the paper they buy people are often more complex and interesting than theyrsquore given credit for Even those who are held to be on the right can have surprising views and interests We all have common ground we can meet on ndash how might The Telegraph use this
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA digital product or service design to bring The Telegraph to a wider audiencebull Show the user experience or content
scenario eg with a storyboardbull Visualise your concept eg through
illustrations renders video etcbull Include a summary of key insights
from your research bull Show who the product is for
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs

Supporting material (optional)Interactive work (websites apps etc) physical material (prototypes mockups etc) If your main deliverable is video you can also submit up to four images If your main deliverable is images you can also submit video (max 1 min)

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUND The Telegraph is one of the UKrsquos oldest newspapers Loved and trusted by its readership it takes an editorial stance best described as lsquoby those who know their own minds for those who know their own mindsrsquo
Like the British Museum The Telegraph looks traditional on the outside but its insides are more modern and relevant than appearances suggest Itrsquos an intelligent read often humorous occasionally quirky And it has a more balanced take on the world than many people might think
The Telegraph has long been regarded as a brand for older readers But within that much of their journalism cuts across age groups ndash and even political orientation
There is humour in the news pages and story selection Throughout its history The Telegraph has teamed serious reporting and analysis with popular news coverage
Equally many of The Telegraphrsquos established positions resonate with millennials who may not most easily identify with the brand enterprise personal betterment self-reliance independence
THE CHALLENGEThe Telegraph wants to use digital to prove its appeal to readers of any age How can you get them to reconsider what it offers What ideas might turn the heads of open-minded people who are looking for a different kind of news provider What might inspire them to try a Telegraph
Develop an innovative digital solution to get a younger audience to think again about The Telegraph The solution does not necessarily have to focus on lsquonewsrsquo but can look at the broad range of content The Telegraph offers
WHO ITrsquoS FORPeople of working age who know their own minds They do what they want when they want and are looking for a paper that reflects this attitude
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull The Telegraph has always stood up for
a plucky almost bloody-minded form of Britishness It appeals to people
who sometimes enjoy taking an obstinate sideways view of life just for the hell of it How might you champion this to find new readers
bull Community comments on news sites appeal only to a hardcore audience and are difficult for most users to engage with How could a news organisation engage with its readers in a more constructive way and create a community around its coverage How does newsgathering change when everyone has a camera and a voice
bull Context most news stories are new twists on long running sagas How should reporting reflect this How should it cater for expert readers who know the story inside out and have strong opinions alongside a reader who is new to it all and wants to get their bearings
bull Definitions of left- and right-wing are now more open to interpretation than ever Even the Conservative Party is pushing for reforms in prison policy social justice and racial discrimination traditionally the territory of the left And therersquos more to a reader than the paper they buy people are often more complex and interesting than theyrsquore given credit for Even those who are held to be on the right can have surprising views and interests We all have common ground we can meet on ndash how might The Telegraph use this
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALA digital product or service design to bring The Telegraph to a wider audiencebull Show the user experience or content
scenario eg with a storyboardbull Visualise your concept eg through
illustrations renders video etcbull Include a summary of key insights
from your research bull Show who the product is for
WHAT AND HOW TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUNDSince 1961 WWF has worked to reduce the impact of humanityrsquos footprint on the environment and promote biodiversity conservation Their stated mission is ldquoto stop the degradation of the planetrsquos natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with naturerdquo
Through a legacy of hard-hitting awareness-driving campaigns they have become the best-known non-governmental organisation working in this field Theyrsquore also by some way the worldrsquos largest conservation organisation with over 5 million supporters worldwide working in more than 100 countries
WWFrsquos members are essential to the organisation for both funding and support so engaging and recruiting members is crucial to their efforts Members not only pay monthly subscriptions but also serve as a highly receptive lsquomailing listrsquo who can be drawn on for specific campaigns But right now the benefits members and contributors get are limited Currently members simply pay a subscription and receive three magazines a year And this lack of involvement feels like a missed opportunity especially among a younger audience who expect and desire more involvement in the causes they commit themselves to
THE CHALLENGEHow can WWF turn their members into the worldrsquos most active global conservation community How can they modernise their membership and enable their existing supporter base to become more active
Design an innovative membership offering to galvanise existing members to action and drive the recruitment of new ones
WHO ITrsquoS FORThe audience is global Both existing WWF members and potential ones The core target audience is 25-40 years old but your concept should also to appeal to 16-25 year olds
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about empowering a
community but itrsquos also about trying to bring others into that community So be provocative be inventive but be
relevant bull Are there any partnerships WWF could
put into place that would help take the activity to the next level
bull Think about value exchange Do members simply give money or could their commitment shift to involve time expertise or reach (GoodGym or RockCorps are great examples of communities whose members commit something other than money)
bull This is an open brief so itrsquos up to you how you approach the challenge Do you shake up the membership package itself to make it more dynamic and engaging Is it a comms campaign that motivates members into action Is it a service that links members up with conservation opportunities
bull You choose the platform Consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms social media apps PR product experience and anything else that makes sense to you
bull Whatever your solution it needs to work both digitally and in the real world on and offline
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A product service or campaign idea to
turn young WWF members into an active conservation community
bull Document and show your research and how you developed your ideas
Where you need to use the WWF logo in your work use the special WWF x DampAD logo included in the brief pack Do not use the standard WWF logo
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Present your solution using either a video (max 2 mins) or up to eight presentation slide images

DampAD NEW BLOOD AWARDS 2016
BACKGROUNDSince 1961 WWF has worked to reduce the impact of humanityrsquos footprint on the environment and promote biodiversity conservation Their stated mission is ldquoto stop the degradation of the planetrsquos natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with naturerdquo
Through a legacy of hard-hitting awareness-driving campaigns they have become the best-known non-governmental organisation working in this field Theyrsquore also by some way the worldrsquos largest conservation organisation with over 5 million supporters worldwide working in more than 100 countries
WWFrsquos members are essential to the organisation for both funding and support so engaging and recruiting members is crucial to their efforts Members not only pay monthly subscriptions but also serve as a highly receptive lsquomailing listrsquo who can be drawn on for specific campaigns But right now the benefits members and contributors get are limited Currently members simply pay a subscription and receive three magazines a year And this lack of involvement feels like a missed opportunity especially among a younger audience who expect and desire more involvement in the causes they commit themselves to
THE CHALLENGEHow can WWF turn their members into the worldrsquos most active global conservation community How can they modernise their membership and enable their existing supporter base to become more active
Design an innovative membership offering to galvanise existing members to action and drive the recruitment of new ones
WHO ITrsquoS FORThe audience is global Both existing WWF members and potential ones The core target audience is 25-40 years old but your concept should also to appeal to 16-25 year olds
WHAT TO CONSIDERbull This is about empowering a
community but itrsquos also about trying to bring others into that community So be provocative be inventive but be
relevant bull Are there any partnerships WWF could
put into place that would help take the activity to the next level
bull Think about value exchange Do members simply give money or could their commitment shift to involve time expertise or reach (GoodGym or RockCorps are great examples of communities whose members commit something other than money)
bull This is an open brief so itrsquos up to you how you approach the challenge Do you shake up the membership package itself to make it more dynamic and engaging Is it a comms campaign that motivates members into action Is it a service that links members up with conservation opportunities
bull You choose the platform Consider multiple touch points advertising in all its forms social media apps PR product experience and anything else that makes sense to you
bull Whatever your solution it needs to work both digitally and in the real world on and offline
WHATrsquoS ESSENTIALbull A product service or campaign idea to
turn young WWF members into an active conservation community
bull Document and show your research and how you developed your ideas
Where you need to use the WWF logo in your work use the special WWF x DampAD logo included in the brief pack Do not use the standard WWF logo
WHAT TO SUBMITSee lsquoPreparing Your Entriesrsquo included in your brief pack for full format specs ndash work will only be accepted in the formats outlined
Main deliverables (mandatory)Present your solution using either a video (max 2 mins) or up to eight presentation slide images
Supporting material (optional)You can submit the following as optional supporting material interactive work (websites widgets apps HTML etc) physical material (prototypes mockups etc) If your main deliverable is video you can also submit up to four images If your main deliverable is images you can also submit video (max 1 min)
