The captivating Storytel campaign “2022 sounds like 1984” has been shortlisted in two categories respectively at the prestigious international awards programmes the One Show 2023 and the Webby Awards 2023. The campaign was created by the agency B-Reel for last year’s launch of Storytel’s audio drama adaptation of George Orwell’s dystopian classic “1984”.
The One Show, operated by the One Club, is among the top three awards programmes for advertising, design and digital marketing in the world and hosted annually in New York. Storytel and B-Reel are shortlisted in the categories “Integrated: Craft – Storytelling” and “Film & Video: Television & VOD – 31-60 Seconds – Single” at the One Show celebratory gala which will take place on May 19.
Furthermore, Storytel and B-Reel are shortlisted in the categories “Best Copywriting” and “Craft (Advertising, Media & PR)” at The Webby Awards – the leading international award honoring excellence on the Internet. Winners for the 2023 Webbys will be announced April 25 and will be feted at an in-person award show on May 15.
“Storytel and B-Reel are honored for the nominations and this wonderful recognition. The creative concept “2022 sounds like 1984” has broken new ground in our category and resonates with our time and a world in which we regrettably see striking similarities with Orwell’s dystopian classic,” says Tobias Clewemar, Head of Marketing Creative at Storytel.
Zack McDonald, Chief Creative Officer at B-Reel:
“The times we live in feel like they’re calling out for the wisdom of Orwell. When you open your ears to what’s happening in the world, everything begins to add up. 2022 really did sound like 1984, and we hope this campaign continues to make people listen up.”
