Hermes Creative Awards

🏆 Winner Spotlight: Eight Cigar Lounge

In a market with thousands of cigar lounges, standing out takes more than ambiance—it takes a bold point of view. 🔥

Eight Cigar Lounge leaned into “seduction and contrast,” crafting a striking campaign built around a cast of characters, led by the captivating Miss Columbia. The visuals play with duality—strength and softness, masculinity and femininity—unfolding through a series of polished, magazine-worthy images.

The result? A cinematic, story-driven campaign that draws viewers in and invites them to experience the brand firsthand.

🏆 Winner Spotlight: Acuity

Who says annual reports have to be boring? 🎶 Acuity, an insurance company serving 350,000 customers nationwide, turned up the volume on creativity with a music-themed annual report that hits all the right notes.

Instead of a traditional booklet, they delivered a mock portable record player, complete with a paper “record” showcasing company achievements. Even the C-suite joined the fun, reimagined as rock stars.

This Platinum-winning concept proves that storytelling and originality can transform even the most traditional formats.
