💃 Balenciaga - The Simpsons (Ad of the week)
How do you break fashion week? After your show, you drop a 10-minute short featuring your brand being rocked by the likes of Homer, Lisa, and everyone else from Springfield. It's basically a mini-episode. This was fantastic. (In-house)
🥃 Johnnie Walker - Keep Walking
It's only 30-seconds, but this ad had to cost a ton in royalties. Great music. (ANOMALY)
👹 GEICO - There's An Animal In The Attic
Literally. It's Animal, from the Muppets. (The Martin Agency)
📺 Roku - The Power of Ok
A lot of great innovation in one spot here. (R/GA California)
⚽️ FIFA 22 - HyperMotion Begins
Elon Musk would be a fan of this one. Someone tag him on social. (Client Direct)
💻 Intel - Breaking the Spell
This ad, while trying to show cool features for PC's, kind of just reminded me how much people love Apple's brand. You be the judge. (VMLY&R)
🧸 IKEA - Every Home Should Be A Haven
IKEA, always with the fresh ideas. (Mother)
🍔 McDonald's - Double Big Mac
Everyone left to get a Big Mac. That's the ad. (Leo Burnett)
🐭 Tomcat - The Bistro
I actually kind of hate this grim, depressing ad about killing mice, but people are talking about it so, voila. (VaynerMedia)
🎮 Coke - Real Magic
Coke with it's first every eSports related spot. (BETC London)
🚲 Zwift - The Breakaway Case Study
A new kind of cycling team. (BBDO)
If you have a friend or co-worker who likes ads as much as we love a cat with his own sofa, which is obviously a lot, share it with them.
