Genius 100 Foundation and NY Festivals Advertising Awards select “FitChix” for Gold 2023 Genius Product of the Year

The inaugural Genius 100 Product of the Year Award honors the most outstanding product that inspires social impact

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, August 10, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Genius 100 Foundation (G100), in partnership with the New York Festivals International Advertising Awards^® is honored to announce the winner of the first ever 2023 Genius Product of the Year Award, “FitChix” VMLY&R Melbourne for Honest Eggs Company.

The goal of “FitChix” was to bring honesty to the egg industry. The spot sought to break the disconnect between farm and plate and help customers purchase eggs from truly free chickens.

The idea was simple, based on the premise, ‘What if we could create a better egg that showed people the conditions it was farmed in?’ So, Honest Eggs Company began tracking their chickens and printing their step count onto the eggs, transforming the core product into a new media that called out every other brand of eggs on the supermarket shelf. Thanks to ‘FitChix’ consumers now know where to look for eggs that come from truly free and healthy chickens.

“The humble egg was first laid some 312 million years ago. But now we’ve finally improved it with FitChix – a feather camouflaged, lightweight fitness tracker featuring GPS and bespoke software. By bringing data from the farm to the supermarket shelf we’ve helped people make more ethical food choices,” Kieran Moroney, Creative Director, VMLY&R Melbourne. “This has been a real breakthrough moment for our client Honest Eggs Co. and we both couldn’t be happier to be recognized as the Genius 100 Product of the Year.”

The results were truly amazing, the FitChix campaign has completely reframed how people think about eggs. Awareness sky-rocketed, supply was (temporarily) maxed out but the most important part was that one of the two largest supermarkets in Australia reached out to discuss how Honest Eggs Co. can spearhead their sustainable and regenerative range.

“FitChix embodies innovation and integrity in an often opaque industry,” states Helen Hatzis, Chief Community Officer, Genius 100 Foundation. “Merging creativity with a dedication to animal welfare, it empowers consumers to choose ethically. When ingenuity meets compassion, transformation ensues.”

The 2023 Genius Awards included entries from 17 countries and over 150 pieces of creative work. This is the only category within the New York Festivals Advertising Awards that accepts work from NGOs. Proceeds from the entry fees for all four awards will go to charitable partners of Genius 100 Foundation, Luv Michael, and The International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children.
