I am loaded with awards
Rather it is a proof that
I am good at it

Awards are not just trophies—they’re milestones of creativity, passion, and tireless pursuit of excellence. Every award is a testament to the bold ideas, game-changing campaigns, and the difference I make. But more than the awards, it’s the work that truly speaks.

BIG BANG AWARD

CR8 has won the prestigious Big Bang Awards 2022 constituted by Meta & The Advertising Club Bangalore. Our achievements in design innovations are a testament to our commitment to excellence. The winning entry, a creative poster for Indus Go Car Rentals, masterfully highlights the concept of safe self-driven journeys. The poster ingeniously depicts a zebra trailing behind a tiger, symbolizing the potential risks of traveling with strangers. The visual metaphor of the zebra not recognizing the danger due to the similarity in stripes serves as a powerful reminder of the unseen perils of not being in control of your travel, thus promoting the safer alternative of renting a car from Indus Go.

The award-winning poster cleverly captures the essence of safety in self-driven travel through a striking visual narrative. By drawing a parallel between the zebra’s mistaken perception of safety due to the tiger’s similar stripes and a passenger’s unseen risks when riding with unknown drivers, the poster emphasizes the wisdom of choosing to drive oneself. This powerful imagery not only engages viewers but also effectively communicates the core message of Indus Go: promoting the autonomy and security of renting a car for a safer travel experience.

This achievement, coupled with our nomination in the Logo & Branding Category for the Ontime Manpower Supply Dubai logo, underscores our relentless pursuit of excellence in advertising.

Foxglove Award

This prestigious Award brought national significance. CR8 bagged India’s renowned Foxglove Creative Award 2018 for the best print ad constituted by Afaqs. The Foxglove Award, a highly regarded honor that recognizes the exceptional work of emerging agencies, showcased CR8’s talent and creativity to a national audience.

The award-winning campaign cleverly compared the furniture brand’s 40% offer to a delectable chocolate. The creative concept, featuring a visually striking image of a sofa wrapped in chocolate foil, instantly captured the attention and effectively conveyed the message of a tempting and irresistible deal. CR8’s ability to blend creativity with effective storytelling not only impressed the judges but also resonated with the target audience, demonstrating their skill in crafting compelling advertising campaigns.

The campaign’s success was further enhanced by its alignment with Tip Top Furniture’s brand identity and marketing objectives. The brand, a leading player in the Indian furniture industry, needed to emphasize its commitment to quality craftsmanship and innovative products. CR8’s creative concept perfectly captured the essence of Tip Top Furniture, highlighting the brand’s appeal to consumers seeking stylish and affordable furniture.
