44 million people worldwide suffer from blindness. What if there was a way to cut that number in half? The team at TBWA HAKUHODO noticed that the majority of visual impairments are actually treatable – and often caused by limited access to proper eye care. So, with OUI Inc., they created an innovative solution: the Smart Eye Camera – a portable eye examination tool that can detect conditions like cataracts without the need for a hospital visit. The best part? Anyone can use it by simply attaching it to a smartphone. Hear from the team how they're revolutionizing medical eye exams around the world👇👏 For our full Cannes Contenders list visit https://lnkd.in/gDk4-aiN #TheDisruptionCompany #CannesLions2025

Hey, what happened to your...roof? 🏠 DIRECTV wanted to shake its satellite-only image and connect with football fans in a fresh, memorable way. So TBWA\Chiat\Day LA leaned into the off-field detail fans obsess over: players' hair. Enter George Kittle - star tight end for the San Francisco 49ers - famous for his flowing locks. To show that DIRECTV can now be enjoyed satellite-free - with “nothing on your roof” - they gave Kittle nothing on his, too. His bald head became a playful, attention-grabbing metaphor that got everyone talking. Now, Laura Dickie 🌈, Senior Art Director at TBWA\Chiat\Day LA, answers the public’s hairiest questions in an exclusive Q&A. Tune in to the Bald Support hotline and discover how the TBWA\Chiat\Day LA team hit a creative home run. ⚾ Check out our Cannes Contenders in full at https://lnkd.in/gDk4-aiN #TheDisruptionCompany #CannesLions2025

A new Guinness World Record. ✅ In a live demonstration of pure network muscle crafted by TBWA\Raad, telecoms service provider du has claimed a new Guinness World Record for the longest promoted TikTok livestream. Over 30 hours of nonstop, on-the-move broadcasting powered solely by du’s 5G network. Thousands of viewers tuned in, commenting in real time as the phone - and the network - powered across the Emirates. CEO Reda Raad said of the achievement: “This brand experience is the disruptive creative demo we needed, shifting du from telling people how great the network is to showing them instead. ‘Story doing’ at full throttle - no scripts, no safety nets - just a brave, public test of speed and reach. “Disruption is about actions that rewrite the rules, and nothing rewrites them like a live, nation-wide stress test that ends in a Guinness title.” Read more via LBBonline - Little Black Book: https://lnkd.in/eewygXZ5

In Thailand, alcohol advertising is banned - making it nearly impossible for new brands like Silver Wolf to break through. 🥃 So the team at TBWA\Thailand \ JUICE found a smarter way in. They turned a live football match into a hidden advertisement - without breaking a single rule. ⚽ Instead of sidestepping the ban, they leaned into it. Players were renamed with whiskey-inspired taste notes like “Smooth,” “Sweet,” and “Oaky.” As commentators called out the players’ names during the match, they were also describing Silver Wolf’s product, seamlessly integrating brand messaging into the game itself. They proved that even the toughest restrictions can fuel breakthrough creativity. They couldn’t change the law. So they changed the game.
