Normally, I don’t go for hidden camera stuff (in advertising or entertainment) but this provocative campaign for a difficult subject is an exception. What I admire is the light touch it took with such a heavy subject. For example, the main actor is youthful, handsome and charming. In ordinary circumstances any father would be delighted to have his daughter date a fellow like this.

It was an important year for the 3% Conference. Not only because of their 5th anniversary, and highest attendance ever, but also the conference’s message of inclusivity and unity felt more relevant and urgent than ever before.

Best ads of 2016 My favourite campaigns for 2016 are definitely these three. The campaigns stand out because they play into a strong insight of how people behave, shared values or how they interact with technology. They stand out by fitting into people’s daily lives. I really like the Sound of Change concept. It’s so.

My favourite ads of the year, for the most part, aren’t ads. For me, the brands that successfully landed in audience culture in 2016 (like TV used to) have been playing with PR, stunts, cultural hijacks, even music promos. But, still, a few films caught my eye and we’re here to talk ads. So why.

French pay-TV station Canal+, part of Vincent Vincent Bolloré’s Vivendi empire, resolutely refuses to make money, unlike big European rival Sky. So it’s undergoing a revamp (including swingeing cost cuts), trying to market a more varied line-up aside from its two expensive staples movies and sport. Much as Sky is in the UK as new.
