Droga5: Johnsonville 'Made the Johnsonville Way'

Agency: Droga5

Client: Johnsonville

Date: May 2016

A strong company culture has been at the center of Johnsonville Sausage in Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin, since the early 1980s. Established by the owner and chairman, Ralph Stayer, "The Johnsonville Way" puts the people of the company first, empowering its members to have a stake in this 71 year-old business.

This year, Johnsonville is taking that mindset to the next level and doing something only a family-owned company could do: letting their members come up with the commercials.

The creative (and concept) begins with a trailer and then is followed up with a "Made the Johnsonville Way" anthem spot. From there, we two of the spots thought up by the Johnsonville team (culled from literally hundreds of ideas). The third, "New Neighbors" is slated to launch soon.

Leo Burnett Mexico: 'MashiMachine'

Agency: Leo Burnett Mexico

Client:

Date: May 2016

Leo Burnett Mexico has partnered with media underdogs 4pelagataos, an independent journal in Ecuador, to create a new interactive video platform that advocates for Ecuadorians freedom of speech, titled “MashiMachine.”

4pelegatos (which translates to “four nobody’s” in English) was founded by four former newspaper editors, after being forced out of their jobs at the top newspapers in the country by the Ecuadorian government because they were raising too many questions about free speech.

The founders of 4pelagatos and Leo Burnett Mexico leveraged technology to create an interactive video platform that gives Ecuadorians an unfiltered voice to a community that doesn’t have one via MashiMachine, a play on Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa’s Twitter handle, @MashiRafael.

Leo Burnett Tailor Made: PEA — Animal Hope Project '"Ain't Cute"'

Agency: Leo Burnett Tailor Made

Client: PEA — Animal Hope Project

Date: May 2016

Almost no one knows what happens to puppies before some of them get to the pet shop window or kennel.

Often, a puppy can go through a great deal of suffering. The little animals are subjected to ill-treatment, harsh conditions that lead to disease, mental disorders - and many of them are even put to sleep or abandoned in the street.

Millions of dogs are sold in this scheme every year in Brazil and throughout the world. In Sao Paulo alone, more than 500,000 from illegal breeding. There are 280 thousand dogs, male and female, kept in captivity for breeding. Every year, more than 3 million are euthanized worldwide.

It might be that not all kennels and pet shops adopt these practices. But, unfortunately, there are many who do, and you cannot know the precise origin of the animals, or be knowledgeable in the process of breeding and the care that is given to animals.

In a Broadway show style, the film shows what happens in the puppymills, hidden places where purebred puppies are created in series in order to be sold. Film starts with a little girl and her mother in front of a petshop. The girl wants to take the puppy home. Then, when music starts, the little dog starts singing and revealing all the cruelty they suffer. In the end tagline reads: It ain’t cute buying a purebred puppy. Adopt an abandoned dog.

Forging an emotional connection with consumers isn’t an easy thing to do for a credit score company, but Experian has managed to do just that with its latest campaign.

Called ‘Credit Skills’ and created by The Martin Agency, the campaign has been voted by readers as US Creative Work of the Week.

The spots are focused around the idea that “everything you’re good at now, you were once pretty bad at,” according to the agency. The campaign aims to show viewers that credit isn’t just a score, it’s a skill that can be improved upon over time – and Experian is there to help.

In the spots, a variety of people are shown trying to get better at skills both big and small – including a young boy learning to ride a bicycle, a baby taking her first steps, and a man trying to master a yoga pose with the help of an instructor.

GSD&M: Lennox 'Degrees of Perfect'

Agency: GSD&M

Client: Lennox

Date: June 2016

Lennox, maker of heating and air conditioning products, has rolled out a short film called 'Degrees of Perfect.' Created by GSD&M and production company A'shop Crew, the video features five different murals that were made by five street artists. Each artist used thermochromic paint in their murals, a paint that becomes colorless when exposed to heat. When heated air from Lennox systems is applied to the murals, the thermochromic layer disappears, revealing another mural underneath. According to the agency, to create each mural, "each artist was briefed on their respective theme/Lennox pillar: clean air, solar power, intelligence, quiet systems and balance. From there, the artists set out on their own to interpret the theme, create an idea and design a two-part visual story using their individual style and inspiration."

FCB Toronto: Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership Corporation (OTMPC) 'Where Am I?'

Agency: FCB Toronto

Client: Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership Corporation (OTMPC)

Date: July 2016

Launched with a riddle, an unconventional tourism campaign called “Where Am I?” is challenging public perceptions about Ontario – and how travel advertising can be done. Provoking mystery and surprise, a campaign developed for the Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership Corporation (OTMPC) by FCB Toronto is showcasing Ontario in an unfamiliar way.

The high profile, multi-channel campaign, targeting residents of Ontario and Montreal, is designed to increase awareness of Ontario as a travel destination and encourage tourism within the province by asking the question: “Where Am I?”

Driven by research that discovered residents widely believe they already know Ontario and consequently overlook it as a travel destination, FCB Toronto developed an unconventional strategy for the OTMPC; one that doesn’t include well known landmarks or attractions.

A visually stunning campaign was filmed over nine months with acclaimed Canadian director, Andrew Cividino who earned two Cannes nominations for his film “Sleeping Giant.” The campaign includes three TV ads, online, social as well as digital elements. To generate mystery and intrigue, images of Ontario are presented through new perspectives, using fast cuts, intimate portraits and glimpses of incredible sights, all set to a visceral track created by Ontario indie band Bruce Peninsula.

Barkley: Take5 'Uber Remix'

Agency: Barkley

Client: Take5

Date: July 2016

Recently, Hershey's recently revamped Take5 candy bar partnered with Uber in Nashville, Seattle and Denver to give riders in those cities a “remixed” riding experience: instead of being picked up in usual cars like a Civic or Prius, riders were greeted in vehicles including a Lamborghini, Porsche convertible, Volkswagen bus, and even a motorcycle with a sidecar. To catch a ride in one of these cars, riders could select ‘Take5 Uber Remix’ on the app and enter a promo code. According to Kansas City-based Barkley, the agency behind the stunt, Take5 received more than 2,000 ride requests and gave out a total of 388 rides. The Uber stunt was part of Take5’s ongoing effort to provide consumers with “remixed” experiences.

Deutsch: WATERisLIFE 'Venmo Micro Hack'

Agency: Deutsch

Client: WATERisLIFE

Date: July 2016

Deutsch recently created a campaign for nonprofit WATERisLIFE to help the organization spread its message. On July 4, Deutsch monitored payment app Venmo to see what people were paying for. The agency then clicked on individuals' names and sent them a micro payment of one cent. It then used the 2,000 character caption to create what Deutsch said were "real-time targeted ads" that included messages like “1 cent can’t buy you pizza. But for just 3 cents, you can buy someone clean water for a day.” The messages were automatically published to that person's news feed as well as Venmo's global news feed. According to Deutsch, over a 24-hour period, nearly 1,000 people received the ads disguised as payment descriptions, costing the charity only $10.

In partnership with Passion Pictures, Chipotle has rolled out a short animated film called 'A Love Story.' Featuring a young boy named Ivie and a young girl named Evie, the two children run rival juice stands in their neighborhood.

By the end, the two realize that "together they can ditch the monsters that their restaurants have become" and instead open up their own small restaurant called Evie & Ivan's.

Peta: Peta 'Want to 'Live Mas?' billboard'

Agency: Peta

Client: Peta

Date: July 2016

TPeta placed billboards next to Taco Bell locations in Nashville, Tennessee, encouraging people to eat vegan at the fast-foot chain. This "in-your-face" billboard features a chicken's face next to the words "Want to "Live Más"? So Do I. Would It Kill You to Get a Bean Burrito?" playing on the company's famous tagline. An additional extension of the work is an online guide for eating vegan at Taco Bell.

Said Peta Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman: "It's easier than ever to find delicious, cruelty-free vegan food, including at fast-food staples like Taco Bell. Unlike meaty dishes, vegan meals are free of saturated animal fat and cholesterol. Going vegan also spares more than 100 animals every year daily suffering and a terrifying death in today's industrialized meat, egg, and dairy industries."

The billboards will remain until July 24th.

Erwin Penland: Denny's 'All New Pancakes'

Agency: Erwin Penland

Client: Denny's

Date: July 2016

Denny's has been doing all-day breakfast for over 60 years. To up the ante, "America's Diner" is offering up an entirely new pancake — one made with real eggs, fresh buttermilk and vanilla, that is fluffier (50% fluffier), tastier and better than ever.

The heart of this launch centers around the understanding that when America thinks about the “best” pancake, they most often think about the pancakes they or loved ones make at home. In fact, when Denny’s conducted research and asked America “Who makes your favorite pancake?” almost 44% of people, the vast majority, answered with something related to those that they make at home.

So for Denny’s in order to demonstrate how they have possibly made the best pancake America can get, they needed to demonstrate how, now because of Denny’s, all of those Master Pancake Makers at home, including grandma, dad, mom, etc., are now without anyone to make pancakes for.

Following the launch of its star-studded ‘Defy Labels’ campaign during Super Bowl 50 earlier this year, BMW’s Mini is now taking on the Olympics with a spot that features eight US Olympic athletes who have had to overcome labels to get to where they are today. Created by Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners (BSSP), the campaign features athletes including Serena Williams, two-time cancer survivor & pro beach volleyball player Jake Gibb, and Muslim fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad. The 30-second TV spot highlights the various obstacles and stereotypes each athlete has dealt with throughout their life, everything from growing up in foster care to being placed in special ed classes as a child. The '#DefyLabels' Olympic campaign is part of Mini's effort to reposition the brand as one that embraces and overcomes its own various labels, like being called a “chick’s car,” “short man’s car” or a “slow car.”

DigitasLBi: Whirlpool 'Care Counts'

Agency: DigitasLBi

Client: Whirlpool

Date: August 2016

Home appliance company Whirlpool is providing schools across the country with washers and dryers in hopes of making it easier for students to clean their clothes. Based off of the insight that students who don’t have access to clean clothing are more likely to skip school, according to Whirlpool, the goal of the initiative is to improve attendance rates. Called ‘Care Counts’ and created in partnership with DigitasLBi & Ketchum, Whirlpool recently wrapped up a pilot version of the program across 17 schools and found that “after examining the correlation between student attendance and loads of laundry washed and dried, over 90% of tracked students in the first year of the program improved their attendance, averaging 6.1 more days in school than the previous year.” The initiative is expected to expand to more than 30 schools in its second year while 300 other schools have expressed an interest in the program, according to Whirlpool.

The film ends with the message, ‘Live Each Day As If It’s The Only One.’ According to the brand, the spot was created to “empower fans to enjoy every moment of life with no regrets – even a moment as small as biting into a piece of silky smooth Dove Chocolate.”

Rokkan: The Humane Society 'Where do puppies come from?'

Agency: Rokkan

Client: The Humane Society

Date: August 2016

In a campaign created by Rokkan for The Humane Society, kids are asked to explain where they believe puppies come from. In a short video, kids offer up some adorable answers, with one little girl confidently stating that all puppies come from New York City. Another says that they come from a magical place where they get to wear rainbow outfits and lip gloss. Their answers are accompanied by whimsical illustrations of dogs as they act out what the children are describing. While the ad starts out innocently enough, it takes a dark turn about halfway through when the children explain where many puppies who are bought online and in pet stores actually come from – dirty, crowded puppy mills where mother dogs are not treated well. The video ends with a simple message - "Change the story for more dogs" - and encourages viewers to sign a "puppy pledge" to stop puppy mills.

BBDO San Francisco: Uncle Ben's 'Kitchen Wall'

Agency: BBDO San Francisco

Client: Uncle Ben's

Date: August 2016

Uncle Ben's is on a mission to get kids cooking, and the rice brand has rolled out touching film created by BBDO San Francisco that might change the way people think about getting their young children involved with dinnertime meal prep. In the film, kids are shown mirroring their parents' actions in the kitchen, except the children are using toy foods and utensils while their moms & dads use real ones. When each child attempts to go into the kitchen to help out with the actual meal preparations, they aren't taken seriously, and are told to go back to playing with their toys. The film ends with the message, "Your kids want to learn to cook. They just need an invitation," reminding parents that learning to cook is a useful skill for kids to learn that can put them on a path to a healthier future.

Droga5: Dixie 'Deadzone Diners'

Agency: Droga5

Client: Dixie

Date: September 2016

In time for Labor Day weekend, Dixie rolled out a campaign featuring ‘deadzone diners’ - pop-up restaurants without cell phone service - in the hopes of encouraging people to put down their phones once in a while so they can actually enjoy some real human interaction. The initiative is part of Dixie’s ongoing ‘Be More Here’ campaign, which encourages people to enjoy meals without the distraction of texts, apps and calls. For its latest effort, the brand set up three ‘deadzone diners’ throughout Los Angeles to give people a chance to enjoy a free meal without the distraction of technology. At locations including a cave and a former Federal Reserve Bank vault, attendees could enjoy snacks like Dropped Call Carrots, No-Fi Pie and Can’t-Comment Croissants. Carla Hall, restauranteur and co-host of ABC’s ‘The Chew,’ helped create the menu for the event, and some of her recipes can be found on Dixie’s site. The paper products brand has also partnered with BuzzFeed to create content around its ‘deadzone diner’ campaign.

JWT New York: Wild Turkey 'The Journey Begins'

Agency: JWT New York

Client: Wild Turkey

Date: September 2016

Wild Turkey has rolled out a spot starring Matthew McConaughey roughly a month after the Academy Award-winning actor joined the bourbon brand as its creative director. The ad is part of the Wild Turkey’s new global marketing campaign, ‘It’ll Find You,’ which aims to modernize the brand as the bourbon industry continues to enjoy a renaissance of sorts. McConaughey, who directed the spot, worked closely with J. Walter Thompson New York and RSA Films to execute the campaign. The campaign aims to position Wild Turkey as a drink for people who are comfortable in their own skin and aren’t afraid to do their own thing, which McConaughey reiterates in the ad when he states that the Gruppo Campari-owned brand is “not in a rush to be most popular, not in a rush not to be.” The song in the ad, a track by New Orleans-based The Hot 8 Brass Band, was personally selected by McConaughey

Agency: Supermoon

Client: The Honest Company

Date: September 2016

The Honest Company has created a limited-edition line of election-themed diapers to bring some fun to what has been a heated election season. The diapers, which feature red elephants and blue donkeys, “were inspired by all of the little ones out there who were born not to see red or blue, but simply to love," according to The Honest Company's co-founder Jessica Alba. In a spot created by Supermoon, babies wearing the diapers are seen playing and dancing amongst a sea of stuffed animal donkeys and elephants while the song 'Why Can't We Be Friends' by War plays in the background.

Olson Engage: Oscar Mayer 'Oscar Mayer Natural gives moms a back to school surprise'

Agency: Olson Engage

Client: Oscar Mayer

Date: September 2016

Back-to-school season can be a stressful time for parents as they squeeze in last-minute shopping trips and try to make sure that their children are ready for the school year ahead. To show their gratitude for moms and dads, Oscar Mayer recently rolled out a short online film that shows kindergartners and first-graders giving back to their parents by prepping them for back-to-school season instead of the other way around. In the film, the kids write notes, make sandwiches and pick out first-day-of-school outfits for their moms. Created by Olson Engage, the campaign is running across channels including Facebook & Instagram and as pre-roll.

Preacher: Venmo 'Pony Up'

Agency: Preacher

Client: Venmo

Date: September 2016

Popular money transfer app Venmo has rolled out its first nationwide TV spot. Created by Austin-based agency Preacher, the campaign aims to show users that Venmo can help take some of the awkwardness out of splitting happy hour tabs, restaurant bills and monthly rent. In the commercial, Venmo users are shown literally riding atop ponies as they 'pony up' their payments. In a company blog post, Venmo said that the 'Pony Up' campaign “is both a twist on a common phrase and a reflection of what makes Venmo so special: it removes the awkwardness of asking someone to pay you back, and makes payments fun.”

Cubocc: Hellmann's 'Where does it come from?'

Agency: Cubocc

Client: Hellmann's

Date: September 2016

Mayonnaise brand Hellmann's recently rolled out a campaign called 'Where does it come from?' to teach people about how its products are made and what ingredients they include. In two short videos created by NYC agency Cubocc, three "urban familes" are brought to a farm in Canada to learn more about how canola seeds are used to make mayonnaise. The aim of the campaign is "to illuminate Hellmann's real, transparent, and proud nature, based on the insight that it is not only children that are disconnected from where their food originates, but also adults."

Goodby Silverstein & Partners: Adobe 'Billion Dollar Contract'

Agency: Goodby Silverstein & Partners

Client: Adobe

Date: September 2016

To promote its e-signature capabilities, Adobe has rolled out a satirical spot that features basketball's "MVP" as he signs with the Cincinnati Sabers. In the spot, a room full of business executives look over the contract and "manually" sign it one by one. The lengthy process begins to frustrate the athlete, so much so that when he gets a message on his phone from a rival team in San Jose that will let him sign a contract digitally with his finger, he chooses to do it - then walks out of the room.

MullenLowe: Chicco '#NeverStopGrowing'

Agency: MullenLowe

Client: Chicco

Date: September 2016

Global baby brand Chicco has launched a campaign targeted towards new mothers called '#NeverStopGrowing' that aims to reflect the "vital and universal truth that many moms feel overwhelmed and underachieving, even when they are achieving so much." In a short film created by MullenLowe, a woman named Jessica O'Dowd is shown going through a performance review at work just a few months after returning from maternity leave. During the review, she expresses concern that she can't find enough time in the day to finish everything she wants to and that her performance at work might change now that she has a child. Following her discussion with the HR representative, a video is played for her that shows feedback from her colleagues, friends and family where they tell her that she is working hard and excelling in all aspects of her life, reinforcing the brand's notion that moms everywhere are "doing a much better job than they give themselves credit for."

Different Approach' that aims to show viewers how the company has evolved over time to meet the needs of today's consumers.

At the end, a voiceover states: “A different world requires a different approach. John Hancock.

Droga5: Pizza Hut 'No One Out Pizzas the Hut'

Agency: Droga5

Client: Pizza Hut

Date: September 2016

After winning Pizza Hut’s business earlier this year, Droga5 has launched its first campaign for the 58-year-old chain that’s become known for greasy concoctions like its Hot Dog Bites Pizza. The brand’s latest campaign, which is running under the new tagline ‘No One Out Pizzas the Hut,’ is for the chain’s Grilled Cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza, which became available earlier this week. In the ads, random Pizza Hut “bragspeople” shamelessly plug the chain so its employees don’t have to. In one spot, a homesick alien that has been stuck on Earth for years says that “Pizza Hut makes the best pizza in the entire universe, but they won’t tell you that.” He then goes onto compliment the many facets of planet Earth – including its “oceans that are not filled with lava” and “crimes that are not punishable by being crushed” – before once again praising Pizza Hut for creating pizza that is “astounding, even by the standards of the infinite.” Another ad features a “bragsperson” who recently survived a near-death experience yet is still determined to try the Grilled Cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza.

Pereira & O’Dell: Ignite National 'We All Belong Here'

Agency: Pereira & O’Dell

Client: Ignite National

Date: September 2016

Even as Hillary Clinton makes history by being the first woman to lead a major political party’s presidential ticket, women still have a long way to go when it comes to running for office. In fact, women only hold 22 per cent of elected positions despite making up more than half of the US population, according to political organization Ignite National. To try and change this, Ignite National – a group that works to encourage young women to run for office – has created a public service announcement to drive home its point that society plays a big role in shaping how girls view themselves and their capabilities. In the PSA, a young girl standing next to a teddy bear gives a mock stump speech while a boy holds up an American flag behind her. In her speech, she discusses how she won’t want to be president anymore by the time she’s 13 years old since by that point, too many people will have told her that’s she’s “bossy” and will instead encourage her to “be a good girl.” The campaign, which was created by Pereira & O’Dell and directed by Meena Singh, was created in partnership with Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls platform. According to Pereira & O’Dell, Smart Girls is serving as the main media support for the campaign.

72andSunny: Xfinity 'Kevin Hart's Jacket'

Agency: 72andSunny

Client: Xfinity

Date: September 2016

Ahead of the premiere of Kevin Hart’s upcoming movie What Now?, which documents a stand-up routine that he performed at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field last summer, the comedian has linked up with Comcast to promote the film by letting anyone with an Xfinity X1 voice control remote “unlock” a collection of his content by simply ask the question “what now?” In a spot created by 72andSunny’s New York office, Hart plugs the new voice command while sitting in his living room with his wife Eniko Parris. In the commercial, Hart reveals to his wife that he wore her mother’s leather jacket during the filming of What Now?, which is set to hit theaters on Oct. 14. The spot will air from Sept. 26 through Oct. 17 on channels including ESPN, MTV, BET, Adult Swim and VH1. According to Xfinity, users who say “what now?” into the remote will be able to access Kevin Hart movies, extended clips, the What Now? Trailer, behind-the-scenes content and a “special welcome message” from the comedian himself. The company also said there are a few Easter egg voice controls that will make Hart talk back to viewers if they say the right search.

Deutsch: Green Giant 'The Giant Awakens'

Agency: Deutsch

Client: Green Giant

Date: September 2016

After winning the account earlier this year, Deutsch has rolled out its first work for canned and frozen vegetable brand Green Giant. In a one-minute teaser-style spot, people all across the country are shown spotting the brand's longtime mascot, the Green Giant - but viewers never catch a glimpse of him. The film ends with the message, '#The Giant Awakens, And He's Got Big Things In Store.' According to Deutsch, this is the agency's "first step in reinventing the Green Giant for a modern audience and making him just as culturally relevant to Americans now as he was in his glory days." The ad was directed by commercial and music video director Patrick Daughters.

Saatchi & Saatchi New York: Tecate 'The Wall'

Agency: Saatchi & Saatchi New York

Client: Tecate

Date: September 2016

During the presidential debate on Sept. 26, Heineken-owned Mexican beer brand Tecate mocked Donald Trump's 'wall' by airing a spot that featured a wall of its own - one that's three feet tall, making it perfect for friends to rest their beers on while relaxing and having fun. "This wall might be small, but it's going to be a huge," a voiceover says in the ad. The national commercial - which debuted on Fox News, Univision and Telemundo during the presidential debate - was "filmed just outside the border town of Tecate, Mexico, where the Mexican beer originated and gets its namesake from," according to the brand. In a statement, Tecate's vice president Felix Palau said that the spot acknowledges an ongoing conversation and raises a glass to "beer's uncanny ability to bring people together in a positive way."

RPA: Kids' Cancer Research Foundation 'Signs'

Agency: RPA

Client: Kids' Cancer Research Foundation

Date: September 2016

RPA created a PSA for the Kids' Cancer Research Foundation to help the organization spread its message during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in September. The PSA features children playing in a park who all have signs that read "I have cancer." However, the children all end up crossing out the word "have" on their signs and replace it with words like "had,""beat" and "kicked." According to RPA, the goal of the campaign is to "expand support and raise money" by showing viewers that cancer treatments can, in fact, work.

As a native Minnesotan, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald holds a special place in my heart. Growing up in St. Paul, Fitzgerald was (obviously) a fantastic athlete — but it’s his character that should be celebrated just as much as his athletic exploits. He was named as a finalist for the NFL’s “Man of the Year” (he was the Cardinals’ team “Man of the Year”) on 2012 and has plenty of well-earned accolades and honors.

Fitzgerald’s private and public lives came together in 2003 after establishing the “Carol Fitzgerald Memorial Fund” after his mother, with whom he was very close, died of breast cancer in 2003.

Fitzgerald promised his mother that he would complete his undergraduate degree (he left the University of Pittsburgh early to pursue his NFL career) — and did so in 2016, receiving his degree from the University of Phoenix. 180LA recently launched new creative celebrating this achievement and was voted as The Drum’s US Creative of the Week.

In the TV spot “Voicemail”, Larry calls his mother’s home in St. Paul, and leaves a message, thanking her for inspiring him to rise: as a student, a son, and even now as a father. In the past, and in the years following his mother’s death, Fitzgerald revealed that he would call his childhood home to hear her voice recorded on the answering machine. The spot itself has a reverent yet hopeful texture that captures the story well.

In addition to the TV spot, the Los Angeles agency created five social media films where Fitzgerald calls out other influential people whom he credits with helping him achieve his college education, including his high school president, University of Phoenix academic advisors, and even a University of Phoenix “Focused to the Finish” scholarship recipient who desired to pursue her higher education dreams despite losing one of her children.

"When you listen to alumni from the University of Phoenix, you find amazing stories of determination,” said Rafael Rizuto and Eduardo Marques, executive creative directors of 180LA. “It’s in their DNA, and even in the veins of this awesome athlete, Larry Fitzgerald. His passion and commitment is everything. He wanted to keep the promise to his mom, and he did it beautifully.”

Goodby Silverstein & Partners: Doritos 'No Choice'

Agency: Goodby Silverstein & Partners

Client: Doritos

Date: October 2016

Doritos is saying "no soup for you" to anyone who hasn't registered to vote yet. The brand has partnered with nonprofit Rock the Vote to bring vending machines full of Nacho Cheese and Cool Ranch Doritos to college campuses, but those who haven't registered to vote yet won't be getting the Dorito flavor of their choice. When students go up to the vending machine to buy some chips, they're asked whether or not they are registered to vote. Those who push the "no" button aren't given their choice of Nacho Cheese or Cool Ranch - instead, they receive a silver bag full of chips that pack "no taste" and "no crunch." According to Doritos, the limited-edition bag was created for those who haven't registered vote to yet to illustrate the point that "if you don't make a choice, you don't get a choice." Since 62 percent of those ages 18-24 didn't turn out to the polls in 2012, according to the US Census Bureau, both Doritos and Rock the Vote are hoping that the brand's stunt will encourage young people to "make the boldest choice" and register to vote.

Droga5: Google 'Life by You, Phone by Google'

Date: October 2016

Undeterred by what could be considered the huge failure of Amazon’s ill-fated 2014 foray into the phone business, Google is stepping up to the plate with its own version, Pixel, and a no-holds-barred campaign from Droga5 meant to push the device as the next big thing — and perhaps steal a bit of the iPhone 7’s thunder. Calling it a “huge integrated campaign,” Droga5 said it tapped into Google's “most iconic visual asset” — the search bar — to launch Pixel.

SapientNitro: ADT 'ADT Helps Mom Solve Son's Fear of Paranormal Activity'

Agency: SapientNitro

Client: ADT

Date: October 2016

SapientNitro has created a fun video for ADT ahead of Halloween to tout the security company's fake "Ghost detection services." According to ADT, the video was inspired by a real phone call that took place between a New Orleans mom named Katie and a customer service representative named Xavier. Since Katie's nine-year-old son is terrified of ghosts, Katie called ADT to see if they would reassure her son that their home security systems do in fact include "special ghost monitoring." Xaviar played along, and the recorded phone call is played during the video along with an animated reenactment.

Based off of a Zocdoc survey that found that 86% of working Americans say they have canceled or delayed a preventative care appointment due to workplace pressures, the campaign encourages people to take an "unsick" day off each year to attend routine doctor and dentist's appointments with their company's support. At unsickday.com, both employers and employees can apply to get or give an unsick day. Aside from the video and website, the campaign also includes posters and social media.

Saatchi & Saatchi New York: Tide 'If it’s got to be clean, It’s got to be Tide'

Agency: Saatchi & Saatchi New York

Client: Tide

Date: October 2016

Saatchi & Saatchi New York has created a series of humorous spots for Tide to position the 70-year-old brand as a trusted, high performance detergent. Running under the tagline 'If it’s got to be clean, It’s got to be Tide,' the ads show people who find themselves in situations where Tide is necessary. In one, a woman finds out that her Airbnb guests wore her bathrobe during their stay. In another, a man is forced to wear a stranger's bathing suit when his in-laws pressure him into taking a dip in their above ground pool. The spots are running on CBS, ABC, NBC, Bravo and others.

McCann New York: Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence 'Toddlers Kill'

Agency: McCann New York

Client: Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence

Date: October 2016

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence has rolled out a satirical video to draw attention to the issue of gun control ahead of the election. Created by McCann New York, the video uses fear-mongering to warn viewers that "more people were shot and killed in America by toddlers than in attacks inspired by foreign terror groups" last year, according to the Brady Campaign. In the ad, a voiceover states that toddlers should be put behind bars since locking up the guns themselves would be "unAmerican." Dan Gross, president of the Brady Campaign, said in a statement that although the PSA is satire, "the public health crisis it calls attention to is anything but. Whether the trigger is pulled by a toddler, a convicted felon, domestic abuser, or terrorist, we have a problem in America with guns too easily falling into the wrong hands."
