Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate bars and agency VCCP have released this :60 titled “Speakerphone,” the latest story in the “There’s a Glass and a Half in Everyone” campaign, now in its fifth year,
“Speakerphone” is set within a carpark, and opens on a man sitting in a car pensively. Interrupted by his son calling, the conversation plays out on speakerphone. The son phoned to find out how his dad’s first day at a new job went. Dad is feeling down as you can see and hear the doubt he feels. The son responds by providing reassurance and comfort, noting that his dad’s colleagues may be younger, but he has valuable experience. The film concludes with the son telling his dad to check the glove compartment. There he left his father a bar of Cadbury Dairy Milk.
The film was directed by Steve Rogers via production house Somesuch. Rogers also directed a prior lauded commercial in the campaign, “Garage,” and although staying true to the Cadbury Dairy Milk storytelling formula, has taken the latest spot in a nuanced and fresh storytelling direction.
The film has been launched in the U.K., rolling out across TV, BVOD and YouTube.

The Best Work You May Never See: McCann NY, Director Christian Breslauer Sound Grande For New York Lottery
McCann New York launched a campaign for the New York Lottery which includes this music video-style spot directed by Christian Breslauer of London Alley. The :30 features a signature song, “Sounds Grande,” as we see our featured music video protagonist get into the lotto spirit thanks to the new GRANDE Scratch-Off Games (up to $3 million in cash prizes, and a chance drawing for one of 100 VIP trips to Billboard Latin Music Week in Miami). The new lotto games were designed by McCann Design, inspired by the colorful storefronts of New York bodegas.
