Siemens has teamed up with Zooppa for a video assignment aimed at bringing positive change to the world. Specifically, how would YOU change the world to create a green, promising future that not only allows for economic prosperity, but also sustainable development for mankind and our environment?
Create a short video explaining some of the possible initiatives that can be taken right now to make the world a greener place. While the ideas should be grand in scope, they can be conveyed on a personal level. The goal is to show how you’d help human kind, and including a human in your video telling your story through a very personal point of view is highly encouraged.
Siemens will be handing out some very nice awards for this assignment including a $10,000 top prize! Another $30,000 will be awarded to 15 runner up videos as well. The odds are stacked in your favor so head over to the assignment page to get started.

These days, the name Intel is as recognizable for their brand of microprocessors as Doritos are for their chips. In fact, it’s really is hard to come by a computer these days that doesn’t carry an Intel processor inside. That’s why Intel is asking you to create a video describing what Intel means to you.
You could make a video visualizing your creative process as you compose a piece of music on your laptop. Maybe draw a picture of yourself working on a laptop as creative fireworks light up your brain. Show how the intel processor is instrumental in processing patients records quickly so you can spend more time tending to the person. We want to see what Intel does for you, and what it means to you.
The top client prize is $7,000 along with $13,000 in runner-up cash prizes. Be sure to check out the Zooppa.com creative brief for all the details.

When you think of Garnier Fructis, what do you think of? Great looking models shampooing their hair in fields? Well, Garnier Fructis wants to change all that with their brand new video assignment! The brand is re-imagining what beauty means by giving it a small shot of adrenaline. They believe in beauty as a form of self-expression, and they believe that true self-expression is fearless.
“What’s the most amazing, fearless thing you have ever done – or would like to do?” Create a short (30-60 seconds) video answering that question and injecting life into your story. It can range anywhere from asking someone to dance to jumping out of a plane. The goal is to be fearless with your storytelling as well!
Garnier Fructis has agreed to purchase at least 2 videos at $7,500 each, but we have a feeling that there will be more selections. Please visit the assignment page below and download the creative brief to get started. Good luck!

Guys know what it’s like to be in a stressful situation and find themselves starting to feel the sweat dropping down our underarms. That’s why “SpeedStick Power” comes along to save the day with its brand of anti-perspirant and deodorant. Its all-day protection gives you the confidence that you’ll stay dry on the outside, even if you’re stressing on the inside. So no matter what, you can step up and own the situation.
Colgate-Palmolive Company, the makers of Speed Stick Power Antiperspirant, is looking for video submissions that will help build on the launch of its new advertising campaign, “Don’t sweat it. Handle it”. The videos should be able to play in the online space.
Videos should have a fairly simple structure and feature a 20-something guy as the hero. There are two main pieces of storytelling:
1) The Tension Moment: show a simple story of a sweat inducing moment (it’s more of an emotional, “freak-out” type sweat, but it could also active type of sweat). Then use the hero’s inner monologue to make it clear what he’s thinking, but on the outside, he looks calm and cool.
2) The Win: as a resolution, show how our hero guy can “handle it” in that situation and succeeds in the context of the situation.
The winner of the video portion will take home a cool check for $12,500! Be sure to check out the Tongal project page for all the details.
