SUPER. HUMAN.
- Category: Media/Entertainment
- Section: TV/Cinema Film
- Award: Grand Prix
- Brand: Channel 4
- Entrant: 4Creative London
Channel 4’s ‘Superhumans’ campaign was hugely influential, but a decade on, some disabled people pointed out we had inadvertently created a new disability stereotype: sports superhero. So the most powerful thing we could do was rip our most iconic campaign in two. This year, instead of just presenting the athletes as ‘super’, we wanted to show their human side: Super. Human. Because what sets these athletes apart is not their disability, but the human qualities of obsession, competition and sacrifice that they take to the next level: To Be A Paralympian There’s Got To Be Something Wrong With You.
ESCAPE FROM THE OFFICE
- Category: Consumer Services/Business to Business
- Section: Online Film
- Award: Grand Prix
- Brand: Apple
- Entrant: Apple Sunnyvale
“Escape from the Office” follows an unlikely gang of underdogs as they skip out on their evil boss, come up with a product, and grow it into a booming small business.
It’s a journey fraught with email and conference calls and birthday cakes and ballet recitals. Hires from halfway around the world, and a 14-year-old that just might take over the world. And a garage with an odor that — well, you get the picture.
Thanks to Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple Business Essentials, and a suite of business apps, the team manages to find its footing. Because when you stick together — and your devices work together — you’ll always find a way, in the office or not.
THE SPIDER AND THE WINDOW
- Category: Consumer Goods
- Section: TV/Cinema Film
- Award: Gold Lion
- Brand: Samsung Electronics GMBH
- Entrant: Leo Burnett Frankfurt
The life of a small terrarium spider changes abruptly when she sees an advertising motif for the new Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra smartphone on the opposite house wall and falls madly in love with the design of its camera lenses. Accompanied by Nazareth’s power ballad classic Love Hurts”, the spider experiences an emotional roller coaster as her unlikely love is put to the test when the poster is suddenly exchanged.
In the end, however, we witness an emotional happy ending for Spider and Phone. The unusual love story shows the fascination for the impressive camera of the Galaxy S22 Ultra in an unseen way and can also be understood as a statement of optimism, encouragement and openness.
„DETECTIVES“
- Category: Consumer Goods
- Section: TV/Cinema Film
- Award: Gold Lion
- Brand: Apple
- Entrant: O Positive LLC Santa Monica
Shot entirely on iPhone 13 Pro, ‘Detectives’ uses a relatable movie scenario to demonstrate the camera’s Cinematic mode feature and unpack it with self-referential dialogue. In an archetypal scene from a detective thriller, we find two cops on a stakeout. The background cop is having an existential crisis about being blurry. The foreground cop explains that the camera is just focusing on the scene’s “most important character.” As the dialogue eventually shifts the narrative in favor of the blurry cop, the camera pulls him into focus. But it turns out to be a plot red herring, and the focus ultimately shifts back to the foreground hero.
THE NIGHT IS YOUNG

- Section: Online Film
- Award: Gold Lion

The film ‘The Night Is Young’ portrays people going out to clubs, before revealing that they are actually seniors, the vaccinated ones that can actually travel around and party again.

SHOT ON IPHONE 13 PRO – THE COMEBACK
- Category: Cultural Insight
- Section: Culture & Context
- Award: Gold Lion
- Brand: Apple
- Entrant: TBWA\Media Arts Lab Shanghai
To illustrate iPhone’s superiority as a movie-grade camera that allows everyone to pursue their filmmaking dreams, we made a movie about misfits making a movie, shot entirely on iPhone.
The story follows a disheartened young wannabe director, his father, and a rag-tag crew of villagers on their mission to shoot an out-of-this-world movie in hopes of reviving their village by making it “internet famous”. This team of unsuspecting underdogs embark on an adventure of ups and downs in this multi-genre film—part Hollywood sci-fi, part traditional Kung Fu action, part nostalgic comedy. Through this journey filled with passionate disagreements, endearing setbacks and accidental success, they rediscover special bonds that are never meant to be broken and find new hope beyond failures. The film encourages everyone to never stop believing in their dreams—even if that dream is as far away as Mars.
