Execution

When the publication hit newsstands, readers noticed that one of the judge’s headshots was different than the rest. Upon purchasing the annual, they then held the jury panel page in the magazine up to their webcam and the experience came to life - triggered by the specially designed bio photo of our judge.In the bio description readers were directed to www.FewWereChosen.ca where they watched hundreds of 3D animated characters lung towards the annual in their very hands. Most of the characters would bounce off of the page, while a worthy few slipped past the judges and entered the book.A promotional video was launched prior to the release of the annual driving demand and top of mind awareness of the issue to our target base. The video became a sharable piece of content being liked on social networks and appearing on industry blogs across the globe creating chatter about the agency and the magazine.
