BETC Paris: Addict Aide 'Like my addiction'

This campaign nails both these issues in a seamless ‘rug pull’ execution that is bang on for the media used and the target market. Santé to all involved - Mike Nicholson, executive creative director, Brave.

Creative Director: Andrew Goldstein

SapientNitro has created a video for ADT ahead of Halloween touting the security company’s fake ‘Ghost Detection Services’. According to ADT, the video was inspired by a real phone call that took place between New Orleans mom Katie and customer service representative Xavier. As Katie’s nine-year-old son was terrified of ghosts, she called ADT to see if they would reassure her son that their systems include ‘special ghost monitoring’.
Sponsor's Choice
Adam & Eve: Volkswagen 'Mafia'
Volkswagen continues to promote its support of UK independent cinemas with its latest campaign ’Mafia’. This is the first of three cinematic shorts created by Adam&EveDDB that sees a gangster’s plans foiled by his overly effective built in journey planner. The amusing ad is based on the simple observation that though Volkswagen cars are great for everyday life, their technology features mean they’re probably not the best cars for the mafia underworld. This simple, playful spot is sure to leave a smile on your face before you start tucking into your popcorn - Jada Balster, marketing director EMEA, Workfront.
The 26 October Creative Works also features Purple Creative, Jaywing, Bigballs Media, Anomaly Amsterdam and La Chose.
