Cannes awarded creativity on search engine marketing

Mariano de la Vega, jury of Cannes Lyons 2007 wrote us these lines:

Netsprint


 It is a  SEM  case from Poland that obtained a Bronce Lion in the category “Innovative Ideas� from Cyber.

 It is a goodwill campaign  from the Polish Center against AIDS  in collaboration with netSprint.pl a search engine that indexes more than 122.000.000 websites in Poland.  During the campaign all website with sexual content were protected.  When the user typed the keywords such as “sex�, “anal�, “oral�, “porn� or “fuck�  on the result pages all these words appeared inside a little condom  GIF.


 A banner appears next to the results with the logo of  the Polish Center against AIDS, a condom and the phrase “Before you enter� .


 A different and innovative idea of the usage of SEM  because the aim is not to generate traffic to a site but to raise awareness in the usage of condoms before having sex (or cyber sex in this case).


 Example with images:

 I think that seeing this case being awared in Cannes talks about the relevante of SEM   in the digital marketing context and the growing need of creative approach that can make a difference in a media that it is getting a good portion of the online investment and where the challenge for the advertising usage is growing.
