After Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook broke the record for single-season triple-doubles during a game against the Denver Nuggets, Nike's Jordan brand commemorated the feat by airing a tribute spot that ran immediately after he broke the record.

New Honor Society: Veru Healthcare 'Down and Dirty with the Female Condom'

Agency: New Honor Society
Client: Veru Healthcare
Date: April 2017
Female condoms have been suffering from an image problem since they were first introduced to Americans nearly 30 years ago. Instead of being embraced as an empowering alternative to male condoms, the female condom has largely been perceived as a peculiar and even unnecessary option for safe sex, drawing comparisons to everything from a sandwich bag to Edvard Munch’s The Scream
That's why Veru Healthcare isn’t pulling any punches in an ad for its FC2 female condom, which the company describes as a non-latex “thin, soft, loose-fitting sheath.” In the ad, a spokeswoman for the brand tackles the stigmas around female condoms head-on by humorously pointing out that many of society’s preconceived notions about them might not be so accurate after all. 
For example, for those who are convinced that the FC2 is too “big and baggy,” she retaliates by using props including a banana, carrot and squash to remind women that the female condom is likely suitable for even “the world’s most petite pink canoe.” Later in the video, she attempts to quell concerns about the female condom falling out during sex by showing that you can do cartwheels, hula hoop and even use a pogo stick with one in without the risk of it falling out. 
Created by New Honor Society, which has offices offices in St. Louis, Chicago and San Francisco, the spokesperson in the video is actually a senior copywriter at the agency named Amanda Burch. According to the agency, Burch stood in for a “famously taboo-testing comedienne” in the pitch video, but Veru Healthcare liked Burch’s performance so much that they decided to give her the role instead.
“New Honor Society had a fearless, no-holds-barred approach to both the strategy and creative execution,” said Brian J. Groch, chief commercial officer at Veru Healthcare, in a statement. “They weren’t afraid of the subject, and they weren’t afraid of the challenge. And they knew exactly how to break through and create an authentic conversation in a category where conversations aren’t currently happening.”
The video will run on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and FC2’s landing page.

Leo Burnett Chicago: Samsung 'The New Normal'

Agency: Leo Burnett Chicago
Client: Samsung
Date: April 2017
Samsung is following up its charmingly weird 'Ostrich' spot with one that packs a bit more of an emotional punch. Called ‘The New Normal,’ the brand’s latest shows how future generations will utilize and benefit from technology that our generation once deemed impossible.
Created by Leo Burnett Chicago, the spot falls under the brand’s recently launched “#DoWhatYouCant” tagline, a rally cry of sorts that aims to position Samsung as an innovative, boundary-pushing company. 
The spot, set to a rendition of The Beatles’ “Across the Universe,” promotes Samsung’s new Galaxy S8 as well as its Gear VR headset, Smartwatch and Gear 360 camera. Told through the eyes of children, the ad illustrates how the next generation won’t be as wowed by innovations like waterproof smartphones and smartwatch payments since, for them, these things will simply represent the new normal. 
The ad comes just weeks before the Galaxy S8 is officially released. To promote the upcoming phone’s launch, Leo Burnett also created a spot called “Breaking Out” that touts the Galaxy S8’s nearly bezel-free screen.

Venables Bell & Partners: Chipotle 'As Real as it Gets'

Agency: Venables Bell & Partners
Client: Chipotle
Date: April 2017
In Chipotle’s latest campaign, comedians find themselves spilling some of their deepest, darkest secrets inside of a giant burrito that’s voiced by Jeffery Tambor. 
Created by the brand’s recently-appointed agency Venables Bell & Partners, the “As Real as It Gets” campaign aims to drive home the fact that Chipotle is committed to using real, quality ingredients in its food. 
To relay this commitment in a fun way, the brand enlisted the help of comedians John Mulaney, Sam Richardson and Jillian Bell. In the spots, the comedians end up revealing their true colors during therapy-style sessions with Tambor’s voice since they’re “inside a Chipotle burrito, where everything is real.”
In a spot starring Richardson, the “Veep” star ends up boring Tambor when he begins listing off mundane confessions, like the fact that he has never been to Delaware. Another features Bell admitting that she hates the ocean since her whole family got eaten by sharks when she was a kid. A spot featuring Mulaney shows the stand-up comedian performing a bit about Pluto not being a planet anymore, only to be criticized by Tambor for telling jokes instead of being “real.”
The lighthearted campaign, which marks Chipotle’s biggest TV push to date, comes as the chain tries to recover from its food poisoning crisis that hit restaurants in late 2015. Following the health scare, Chipotle’s sales took a huge hit - in 2016, same-store sales were down 20.4% compared to the year prior.
Aside from broadcast, cable and digital ads, the “As Real as it Gets” campaign also includes radio, outdoor, banner and social elements. Media planning and buying for the campaign was handled by MullenLowe’s MediaHub.
“In a world full of fakery and half-truths, it’s invigorating to hear a brand tell it like it is,” said Mark Crumpacker, chief marketing and development officer for Chipotle, in a statement. “This campaign challenges the conventions of fast food advertising by being completely real — not only about our food, but about the world we live in — and it does so with an optimism and playful humor that’s very much in line with our brand.”

Fallon: International Delight 'One Touch Latte'

Agency: Fallon
Client: International Delight
Date: April 2017
To introduce its new One Touch Latte, a product that can transform coffee into a "perfect, frothy latte in 5 seconds with the touch of a button," International Delight has rolled out a humorous 30-second spot that features an old Italian cafe owner named Cecilia whose lattes are the talk of the town. In the spot, Cecilia takes the news of One Touch Latte's advent surprisingly well: instead of being upset that it will hurt business, she rejoices by triumphantly walking out of her cafe, thrilled by the fact that she can quit her job since now anyone can make a latte.

Cramer-Krasselt: Echo '#PowerOnAndOn'

Agency: Cramer-Krasselt
Client: Echo
Date: April 2017
In its latest campaign, lawn equipment manufacturer Echo is showing consumers just how powerful some of its tools are by comparing their strength to the likes of hurricanes and muscle cars. For example, in one spot, the brand illustrates that the blades of a combat chopper spin at 380 RPM, nowhere near as fast as the Echo trimmer's 6400 RPM. The campaign, created by Cramer-Krasselt, aims to make the brand synonymous with power and move it away from the more humorous approach it had taken in previous advertising efforts.

Agency: McKinney
Client: Sherwin-Williams
Date: April 2017
With the help of production house Psyop, McKinney recently created a whimsical and colorful spot for Sherwin-Williams to promote the brand's Emerald line of premium paint. Using an articulated robot arm named Spike and a Phantom camera that shot footage at 900-4000 frames per second, the team was able to use on-set editing software to bring the visual narrative to life.

DDB New York: Ad Council and AARP 'Tougher than Tough'

Agency: DDB New York
Client: Ad Council and AARP
Date: April 2017
The Ad Council and AARP have tapped Breaking Bad's "ultimate tough guy" Danny Trejo to star in a campaign about the toughness it takes to be a male caregiver. Created by DDB New York, the campaign is the first-ever PSA to address the "largely unrecognized population" of men who provide unpaid care for their aging parents and loved ones. The insight behind the PSA is that even though the stereotypical family caregiver tends to be female, men actually represent four in 10 unpaid caregivers in the U.S., according to the AARP. Even so, some men feel uncomfortable discussing this aspect of their lives, which is why the AARP and Ad Council have rolled out this humorous campaign starring Trejo in which the actor praises (and even gets a tattoo of) a "warrior" who "does the work of two jobs but only gets paid for one" and "has the crazy strength to lift the man who raised him up without even flinching."

72andSunny: Hello Products 'An Inconvenient Tooth'

Agency: 72andSunny
Client: Hello Products
Date: April 2017
72andSunny has created an animated video called 'An Inconvenient Tooth' for Hello Products, a company that makes "naturally friendly toothpaste that uses effective, thoughtful ingredients." In the video, an animated tooth named Toothy explains that many toothpaste brands use artificial sweeteners like saccharin and synthetic dyes in their pastes. Since Hello Products only uses natural sweeteners like stevia and ensures that everything they make is vegan and not tested on animals, Toothy encourages health-conscious teeth brushers to make the switch to Hello.
