"Find My Place" - KFC
1 GRAND EFFIE, 2 GOLD, 1 SILVER, 1 BRONZE
COVID-19 has made job hunting even harder than before for fresh graduates. For the 'hardest graduation season' in history, KFC came up with an encouraging, inspiring message for Chinese youth, reminding them that despite the obstacles that seem to be lying ahead of them, they'll always manage to find their place in society. In addition to being selected as the 2021 Grand Effie winner for Greater China, the campaign secured 4 additional trophies, consisting of 2 Gold, 1 Silver and 1 Bronze.
"Go! Freshman" - Chando
2 GOLD, 1 SILVER
Adapting to the rules and codes of the workplace can be challenging for recent grads. Even more so in the post-pandemic era. It is in this context that Soho Square - an Ogilvy-owned agency - helped Chando craft a campaign dedicated to all new entrants to the workforce. The commercial, co-created with Bilibili influencers, encourages the young generation to pursue their passions and show perseverance in chasing their dreams.
