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
Well, here's one (in Spanish) that breaks the mould for banking ads. Spain's financial services group Bankinter puts out 1'30" of arresting visuals that are going down really well with viewers: they allude to the kind of tests the European Union subjects its bank notes to - worth watching just for this - and by extension illustrate tough everyday realities with the use of hard, visible cash...

Christmas / holiday ads already??? Oh yes. Luxury house Christian Dior pulls out all the stops with this visual conceit of a confectionery emporium to show off its Beauty range. Actress Anya Taylor-Joy continues in her role as Brand Ambassador, adding her distinctive sprite-like touch to proceedings while anchoring the prancing, dancing presentation with its lashings of gold - powder, palattes, receptacles,...

Fans of Christian Laboutin - who makes a cameo appearance - shoes aren't the only ones who might find this 3'30" presentation of the Women's Spring/Summer 2027 collection worth the time spent watching. Compressing high glam into music, dance, theatrical effects and performative opulence, the piece features burlesque star Dita von Teese, 54, and a giant shoe. Red-soled, of course - the Laboutin trademark, whi... Read More
Nestled in the heart of Europe, the region of Flanders in northern Belgium, is known for crowd-pleasing chocolate and beer, as well as the impressive heritage of its master painters, making it a desirable travel destination. Focusing around the ongoing trend for selfies, this 1'42" campaign is worth following through various absurd and apparently nonsensical twists in order to appreciate the real point. Agree or disagree?
Spain's high street favourite Zara packs a creative punch in this campaign promoting its collection by John Galliano. The British designer, 65, was creative director at French luxury House Dior from 1996 to 2011, when a French court convicted him of anti-Semitic remarks. The Zara collaboration follows hot on the heels of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) cancelling a 2027 exhibition dedicated to Galliano as the controversy rumbl... Read More
