What’s the most creative advertising idea you’ve seen recently?
From a craft POV, I love the new work for BritBox UK, by Uncommon. It’s not a completely original idea, but it’s superbly executed. I also love that Uncommon name their meeting rooms after 90s drum & bass legends. Class.

Developed by Small World and brought to life by BLINKINK’s Zach Tavel, privacy-focused tech superpower Proton has launched this playful spot with an important underlying message about children's digital safety.
Spotlighting the brand’s privacy-first cloud storage product, Proton Drive, the film takes inspiration from the nostalgia of 90s toy commercials, before revealing the rug pull that this isn’t an ad for any ordinary toy.

Created by AMV BBDO with Weber Shandwick and EssenceMediacom, the multi-stranded campaign includes charming social media films featuring six different lands associated with cat culinary heaven – Feather Valley, Gravy Lake, Aroma Island, Mount Crunch, Pamper Plains and Surf and Turf Land. They were shot using in-camera stop motion, with CGI used only for the kibble storm around Mount Crunch. Every other element was built as a physical set.

How did the concept for this collaboration come about?
Our video is part of Coldplay’s 'A Film for the Future', where 150 artists from all over the world were asked to create visuals to accompany the album Moon Music. Collaborating with lots of artists was part of the brief from the beginning.

From polyamory to paddling nuns and blue painted turtles, flickering flowers to fantastical woodland blob creatures, this music video for Coldplay’s ALiEN HiTS/ALiEN RADiO is an epic visual journey exploring themes of nature and togetherness.
Stylised as '🌈' the song is from Coldplay‘s tenth studio album Moon Music and features Chris Martin’s plaintive tones and ethereal guitars forming an ode to hope in a troubled world – finding the rainbows that appear among clouds.

Is there a maximum speed limit for '(Shake Shake Shake) Shake Your Booty' by KC and the Sunshine Band? If so, this DFS commercial almost breaks it. To promote said retailer's winter sale—you know the festivities are over when brands say winter has come—agency Pablo and director Will Wightman hit a bum note in the best way possible.

One of many, many standout episodes of ‘Breaking Bad’ saw Walter White attempt to swat a fly in the lab. He said it was to prevent contamination—the truth is he knew what would happen if a fly crawled into his brain. The man in this gross-out promo for Tommy Holohan x Megra learns the hard way. Played by a strung-out Harrison Charles, the bloke tries and fails to kill an insect played by George Osman, who, er, flies straight into the guy’s ear.

Blinkink Director Joseph Mann takes us out of the everyday and plunges us into an absurd, milky dream world with his new spot for Arla.
Complete with singing in the rain inspired choreography and a characterful performance from Jacob James, the camera floats between our handcrafted practical sets and our ribbon dancing milk lover.
In true Joseph Mann style, the spot feels grounded but still spectacular.
