Iris

Iris helps you answer RFPs, questionnaires, and sales-related documents faster by reusing past answers and company knowledge.

Instead of starting from scratch every time, you upload your existing materials (like previous RFP responses, docs, or knowledge bases) and the tool pulls from that to generate accurate answers in seconds.

Basically, Iris removes redundancy by acting as a centralized “answer library” that continuously improves as you use it. Nice.

Lump Lottery

Lump Lottery

Young men already know they should check themselves for testicular cancer. They just don’t do it.

So instead of more education, the “Lump Lottery” campaign by Testicular Cancer NZ and Colenso BBDO introduces a behavioral trigger: the chance to win a ute.

Leaning into Kiwi masculinity and humor, participants are guided to learn how to check themselves, report whether they’ve found a lump, and enter to win.

You know what to do if you want that truck.
