Commonwealth//McCann: Chevrolet 'All-New Lego Batmobile from Chevy'
Agency: Commonwealth//McCann
Client: Chevrolet
Date: January 2017
Chevy's latest installment of its ongoing "Real People, Not Actors" campaign features Lego Batman and minifigures instead of the usual human focus group participants. In the ad, the Lego minifigures are brought into a Chevy focus group to give their thoughts on the all-new Lego Batmobile. However, things begin to go awry when the participants begin to criticize the car's features -- for example, one minifigure says that the lack of a backseat probably means that the driver doesn't have many friends. Batman then becomes fed up with the criticisms and leaves in a huff. The ad is part of Chevy's tie-up with "The Lego Batman Movie," which hits theaters on Feb. 10. At the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Chevy unveiled a life-size Lego Batmobile.

Droga5: Blue Apron 'Building a better food system from scratch'
Agency: Droga5
Client: Blue Apron
Date: January 2017
While meal kit delivery services like Blue Apron have become all the rage in recent years, they’ve often been criticized for the massive amount of waste that they produce (like the individually-wrapped “Farm Egg” that TechCrunch recently took issue with).
That’s why Blue Apron’s latest campaign aims to position the service as one that is actually “better for the environment” despite its superfluous packaging. In a playful animated spot created by Droga5 called “Building a better food system from scratch,” Blue Apron touts the fact that the company’s ingredients are delivered straight to your doorstep “ripe and ready to cook” instead of to supermarkets where they could potentially rot or go to waste.
“We’re excited to share Blue Apron’s vision of building a better food system with the world through our new creative campaign,” said Matt Salzberg, co-founder & CEO of Blue Apron, in a statement. “Over the past few years, Blue Apron has made incredible home cooking accessible to home chefs across the country so we wanted to communicate how our unique business model allows us to deliver higher quality ingredients at a better value, while positively impacting the environment.”
While there is no mention of Blue Apron’s packaging in the campaign, the company has made strides to package its foods in a more eco-friendly manner since it was launched in 2012. Last year, Salzberg told the New York Times that Blue Apron has managed to “cut out packaging by 50 percent just through better packaging design.” The meal kit delivery service also gives users the option to return their packaging to Blue Apron for free if they don’t want to deal with recycling the box and its contents themselves.

The Tombras Group: Department of Transportation 'Stop. Trains Can't.'
Agency: The Tombras Group
Client: Department of Transportation
Date: January 2017
Knoxville-based The Tombras Group has created a harrowing ad for the US Department of Transportation (DOT) to help the organization raise awareness of railroad crossing fatalities. Targeted towards men aged 18-49, the spot aims to drive home the point that drivers need to stop when they see a train coming since trains are unable to swerve or stop quickly.
“Too many people are still taking unnecessary risks and needlessly paying with their lives,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx in a statement. “These deaths are preventable, and this ad campaign is a reminder for everyone that ignoring signage at railroad crossings or attempting to race or beat a train can have deadly consequences.”
According to the DOT, 232 people died in railroad crossing accidents last year.
