McDonald’s is delving into family relationships once more – which it spectacularly botched with its UK ‘Bereavement’ ad from the normally impeccable Leo Burnett – this time sorting a sulky child courtesy of TBWA Paris.

General Mills’ Haagen-Dazs is trying to become cool again (was it ever thus? Take their word for it) with a new global campaign from Saatchi & Saatchi. It’s aimed at those dreaded millennials.

Karoshi is the Japanese word for “death by overwork.” Sadly, the term has currency today, inside and outside of the ad world.
