Ice cream shooting out of a man's jeans - hm, pretty weird!
Like the John Lewis department store Christmas ad in the UK, Spain's national lottery each year is eagerly awaited. Like most of this year's campaigns, both have been influenced by the COVID-19 coronavirus situation. This 1'30" ad for the 2020 edition is garnering a generally positive reaction for its depth of understanding and detail without a descent into mawkishness. The narrative is a broad-ranging...

Every single day, 1.8 million kilograms of the UK's plastic waste is exported to other countries. In this arresting footage, titled 'Downing St Disaster', environmental organisation Greenpeace asks and answers the question: What would it look like if that exact amount was dumped on Downing Street? Located in the City of Westminster in London - hence the 'Wasteminster' parody tag - Downing St houses the official residences an... Read More
The largest real money online gambling site in the world, Pokerstars, offers one-minute glimpse of a successful life as one of its players through elliptical references to daring deeds and bold choices from a variety of individuals.

Most of us know Louis Vuitton as a luxury travel house, but it continues its venture into independent watchmaking, as illustrated by this campaign. As LV itself explains: "Designed and developed in collaboration with Master Watchmaker Kari Voutilainen, the LVKV-02 GMR 6 timepiece combines the u... Read More
A nice chatty, chirpy ad for Alexa+, the latest edition of Amazon's virtual assistant technology. However, Alexa+ - powered by generative AI - launches amid concerns over Amazon's announcement that household device Echo will be processing all Alexa requests to the Cloud (to many, aka 'someone else's computer') as of March 28. Hitherto, Echo would only send to the Cloud on hearing an instruction to listen, usually the word 'Alexa'. As explain... Read More
