Mode Project received a Silver World Medal on May 3rd at the 2010 New York Festivals International Television & Film Awards for their 2-minute film: “David Plouffe: The Art of The Possible.” DDB tapped Mode Project to create an opening title sequence which preceded Barack Obama’s campaign manager David Plouffe, at a DDB-sponsored lecture for the 2009 Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival.
Mode Project was asked by DDB to highlight Plouffe’s point of view on personal connectivity in political campaigns while introducing him to an international audience that otherwise may not have been familiar with his role in the campaign. Mode Project dug deep into the 400 hours of campaign footage and built a story arc using candidate Obama’s powerful oratory and Plouffe’s YouTube messages to supporters. As Mode Project founder Colin Carter explains: “It was exciting for us to be able to summarize Obama’s historic campaign in a creative, cinematic way and we’re honored to receive this award.”
The New York Festivals Television & Film Awards recognizes “The World’s Best Work” in documentary, entertainment programming, music videos, promotion spots, openings and ID’s. The 2010 competition received entries from thirty-five countries around the globe.

Our awards for the Titanium and Integrated Grand Prix arrived today! In June, we announced that the work we did on the advertising and marketing campaign that helped propel Barack Obama into the White House had been honored with the two top prizes — the Titanium Grand Prix and the Integrated Grand Prix — from the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival. Mode Project was one of the main creative partners in the campaign, assisting its longtime client and the lead agency, AKPD Message and Media. Mode Project oversaw the design of the now famous Obama logo and produced more than 200 broadcast commercials and additional digital content during the course of the primary and general election. Of the Cannes win for Obama for America, Mode Project’s Colin Carter says, “We were honored to be a part of the Obama for America campaign and congratulate everyone on the Obama Media Team in this historic, game-changing endeavor. The Cannes honor is the highest in advertising and knowing we contributed to the successes of the campaign gives us a sense of accomplishment, second only to the election’s outcome.”

The Obama campaign continues to rake in accolades from the advertising and design community. Ad Age named him Brand of the Year and Creativity cited the campaign as one of the top Creative Marketers of 2008. Mode Project has been involved not only in the design of the Obama campaign identity but also in the production and editorial work of numerious broadcast spots. We’re proud to contribute to an effort that is considered to be “a blueprint of political campaigns to come.”
