Crispin's Domino's Emoji Takes Titanium Grand Prix; Wieden's Re2pect for Jeter Takes Integrated
The Domino's emoji ordering system won a Titanium Grand Prix, while
the Re2pect campaign honoring Derek Jeter from Nike's Jordan Brand took
an Integrated Grand Prix at Cannes.
Domino's emoji ordering from Crispin Porter & Bogusky,
Boulder, Colo., allows people to instantly place orders saved in their
accounts with the fast feeder by tweeting a pizza emoji.
Mark Fitzloff, jury president and exec creative director
of Wieden & Kennedy, Portland, defended the Domino's campaign in response to a question
suggesting it was "quite simple and nothing really special" by saying
"We felt really good about awarding an idea that has the potential to
really impact a big advertiser's business model." He compared it to
Amazon's one-click service.
Mr. Fitzloff was somewhat unqualified to say why Re2pect won, because
he was recused from deliberations on work from his own agency. But he
said: "I think the nature of it being integrated fell away. People were
able to get wrapped up in the story and move seamlessly from execution
to execution and not think about kind of a checklist of how it's
integrated, and look at how many things it did."
Domino's ordering emoji was deemed to have a big impact on the company's business model.
The Re2pect campaign honored retired New York Yankees shortstop Derek
Jeter with a series of videos showing such celebrities as Spike Lee and
Rudy Giuliani and ordinary folks -- including even purported Boston Red
Sox fans -- tipping their caps to the widely respected player.
"The winner of our integrated Grand Prix was really driven off of
emotion," said Mark Fitzloff, jury president and exec creative director
of Wieden & Kennedy, Portland. "And ironically our Titanium Grand Prix was ultimately very utilitarian, very functional."
