BARCELONA—Three Silver SABRE winning campaigns—ranging from a massive experiential effort for Microsoft Xbox to an innovative recruitment “game”—will be showcased at the ThinkTank Live conference that will take place at the Hotel Arts in Barcelona on May 30, the day of the SABRE Awards dinner.

The featured campaigns include:
• Experience: Halo for Halo 4, an immersive experiential campaign (pictured) that took reporters and bloggers inside the new game, which will be presented by Michael Hermann, head of Xbox EMEA brand PR and corporate reputation at Microsoft, along with representatives from Edelman;
• Blocket Easter Eggs, a game created to help software company Blocket recruit more engineers, presented by Martin Ehn, HR manager at Blocket, and Jonas Sevenius (pictured) of PR agency Jung Relations;
• Stratos Jump Successful, a clever hijacking of the Red Bull-sponsored “parachute jump from space,” which will be presented by Model Makers Fair Vienna and Ogilvy&Mather.

The three award-winners will present images of their campaigns and then discuss the creative process that led to their success.
