Round 2 of 8: September 

Judge: Riaad v.d Merwe

Creative Director on Nike, AKQA Shanghai

 

"I was rather pleased with the  overwhelming amount of entries, not so much because of it just being a huge number, but because of the notion that, when asked, the industry can spring into gear and start thinking about how to solve something as devastating as this outbreak.

Seeing the number of people who, in some way (albeit sometimes for selfish purposes), care – really helps restore one’s faith in humanity.

With that said, one thing that needs to be considered when coming up with an idea, especially when digital is involved: the idea alone simply isn’t enough. It’s how this idea gets pulled off, that truly matters. Though there were numerous great ideas, only a rare few were truly thought through.

When picking winners/runners up and what not, I took into account the subject matter itself and the audacity of the disease. Ebola really is the badger that doesn’t give a sh**. So the ideas that truly went after the disease and our awareness of it in a brave and (in fear of repeating myself) audacious way, caught my attention. 

Here’s hoping that the disease will soon be eradicated and that a catastrophe such as this will never repeat itself. However, should worse come to worse and it does, we at least have an arsenal of strong tactics that could help stop it in it’s tracks."
