An idea that makes the path is under the theme of pinball that will deploy the different phases of the idea competition.The Bleublancrouge agency, which is behind the promotion campaign this year, has thus imagined the journey of an idea like that of a ball constantly powered by the elements of the machine.Strong imaging to demonstrate synergy between the different disciplines of creative communication.

"When we follow the journey of an idea, we realize that it is often chaotic.In order for a big idea to survive, it takes an impressive number of interactions between the different expertise.The Pinball Universe seemed very fair to illustrate this course.After all, Idéa is the competition that rewards the ideas that have best scored and where each piece of big machine has struggled to keep the ball alive.It is an imagination that fits perfectly with the competition mission.Several pieces will feed the different phases of the competition, ”shares Sébastien Rivest, executive creation director, BleuBlancrouge.

The idea competition is propelled by the A2C, in collaboration with the SDGQ.
