The Happy Flag
Coca-Cola's iconic logo has been around for over a century. Then recently someone discovered that the Danish flag was hidden in the Coca-Cola logo. Since several global surveys show Denmark to be the happiest country in the world, Coca-Cola decided to take this discovery to Denmark's biggest airport where it's a tradition to welcome people with flags.
Since everyone who comes to the airport does not always bring a flag, the welcome isn't as big and happy as it could be. So McCann Copenhagen created a special poster where people could take flags straight from the Coca-Cola logo. Thus giving everyone the chance to create a happy welcome to the world's happiest country.

bpost: Live Webshop
bpost is Belgium's biggest postal service. To prove their ability to deliver and to fend of new contenders in the market of delivery services, they decided to open a pop-up store bang in the center of Brussels.
A lot of must-have items were put on display, from smartphones to designer coffeemakers. But then the only way to buy them was through a special online auction where the prices of all products dropped every second.

As a result the awareness of the specific service - bpack - rocketed to 65%. In 6 days 260,000 unique visitors were registered and for every hour the shop was online, bpost sold 8 products on an average.
