KitKat-Kampagne 'Phone Break' von VML Czechia & PAVLEYE holt Grand Prix bei den Cannes Lions 2025

Ein bedeutender Erfolg für PAVLEYE Artist Management & Production: Die „Phone Break“-Kampagne für KitKat, entwickelt von VML Czechia, wurde beim Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity mit dem Grand Prix in der Kategorie Outdoor ausgezeichnet. Die Kampagnenmotive wurden von Miro Minarovych c/o PAVLEYE fotografiert, die Produktion übernahm das Team von Jozef Pavleye.

Die Idee ist einfach, aber wirkungsvoll – Smartphones in Alltagssituationen durch KitKat-Riegel zu ersetzen, um Menschen zu einer echten Pause zu ermutigen. Ob an der Bushaltestelle, beim Treffen mit Freunden oder beim Anstehen – die Kampagne führt uns vor Augen, wie sehr wir in unsere Geräte vertieft sind – und wie wohltuend eine echte Pause sein kann, etwa mit einem KitKat.

Die Kampagnenmotive wurden gezielt in stark frequentierten Außenbereichen platziert – etwa an Straßenbahnstationen, auf öffentlichen Plätzen und in Fußgängerzonen – genau dort, wo die Handynutzung am sichtbarsten ist. Die „Phone Break“-Kampagne gehört zu den eindrucksvollsten Einreichungen des Jahres – ein starkes Beispiel für die Wirkung klarer kreativer Ideen, kraftvoller Bildsprache und exzellenter Umsetzung.

Jurypräsidentin Keka Morelle, Chief Creative Officer bei Ogilvy für Lateinamerika, lobte die Arbeit als „Meisterwerk im Outdoor-Bereich“: „Ganz ohne Worte oder Logos vermittelt sie eine starke Botschaft in einem wunderschön gestalteten Bild. Sie fängt den Zeitgeist ein, stärkt das Markenkonzept und regt sofort zum Nachdenken an.“

Jake Barrow - Chief Creative Officer VML Czechia: 'The KitKat Phone Break work was one of the first projects I worked on in my new role as Chief Creative Officer at VML Czechia. It was selected out of 400 ideas submitted from VML offices the world over. The work was produced and run in Prague as a print and OOHcampaign. And it’s the Czech Republic’s first ever Grand Prix at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Congrats to the entire team who made our KitKat Phone Break idea happen.'

Und was Jake über seine kreative Philosophie sagt?  "What I’ve learnt most over the years, is that it doesn’t matter how many good ideas you have, if they don’t get made, they don’t count. I get the entire agency to care about making world class work. Not everyone is expected to be creative but I expect everyone to be champions of creativity. I make each department equal in the quest for good work and remind every single person I work with creativity is our product, it’s up to every department to make sure it happens.
