Mother New York: Organize 'The Mom and Dad Bods Anthem'
Agency: Mother New York
Client: Organize
Date: October 2016
According to Organize, a nonprofit that aims to make it easier for people to become organ donors, only 10% of people over the age of 50 donate their organs due to the misconception that "they are no longer healthy enough to qualify as donors." To try and get more people in older age demographics to donate, the organization enlisted the help of Mother New York to create a humorous video that would capture the attention of both kids and their parents to spark a conversation around the topic. The result is a short film called 'The Mom And Dad Bods Anthem' that celebrates the bodies of Baby Boomers. Directed by Bo Mirosseni, the video encourages millennials to talk to their parents about organ donation.

MullenLowe: Ulta Beauty 'Gorgeous Way to Give'
Agency: MullenLowe
Client: Ulta Beauty
Date: October 2016
For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Ulta Beauty and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation wanted to create an initiative that would show people just how far a dollar can go when it is donated to a good cause. To bring this concept to life, MullenLowe's Winston-Salem office created a pop-up Ulta shop in NYC. Shoppers who walked in found that products weren't priced in dollars, but in minutes of breast cancer research time instead. For example, a $10 tube of mascara cost 12 minutes, while a $20 eye shadow palette cost 24 minutes. The idea behind the campaign was to show people that their donated dollars do make a difference and can help bring researchers one step closer to finding a cure. According to Ulta, the company has funded over 16 million minutes of research through its partnership with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Havas Worldwide New York: Dos Equis 'Airboat'
Agency: Havas Worldwide New York
Client: Dos Equis
Date: October 2016
After teasing the new Most Interesting Man in the World with a short trailer last month, Dos Equis has finally rolled out its first commercial starring the beer brand's latest frontman, actor French actor Augustin Legrand. In the ad, Legrand is shown racing airboats, playing darts with knives and kicking a coconut football with what the brand calls an "adventurous female travel companion" by his side. At the end of the commercial, Legrand says "Stay Thirsty, Mis Amigos," a change from the brand's signature "Stay Thirsty, My Friends" tagline. The campaign marks Dos Equis' attempt to appeal to a new generation of beer drinkers since research commissioned by the brand shows that "84% of men think that what is interesting today is different from what was interesting a decade ago." The latest iteration of the ongoing campaign focuses more on Most Interesting Man in the World's actions & adventures, putting less of an emphasis on his words and pastimes.

Publicis New York: United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) 'Josh's List'
Agency: Publicis New York
Client: United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS)
Date: October 2016
Publicis New York has created a touching short film for nonprofit United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) that was inspired by true events and real-life relationships. In the film, a middle-aged man with a blue mohawk is shown skinny dipping, playing the drums at a concert and backpacking as his subdued wife accompanies him on these adventures. About halfway through the ad, his wife hands him a slip of paper - and viewers realize that the man is completing his organ donor's bucket list. The last thing on the list reads "do more for mom," so the man and his wife head to his organ donor's mother's house and paint the fence in her front yard. The film ends with the mother resting her heart on the man's chest to hear her son's heartbeat before the message "your organs could save lives too" appears on the screen. Created in partnership with director, cinematographer and writer Damien Toogood, the PSA is the video is UNOS's first PSA in 20 years.
