This short introduces us to Claudine, an elderly lady who spends her time with B.E.N., a companion robot. But the quality of that time comes into question–particularly as it concerns being able to combat the woman’s loneliness.
B.E.N. is an abbreviation for “Bionically Engineered Nursing.” And despite the amazing technology, there’s no substitute for the human touch to remedy a person’s isolation. Through this short, the Society of Saint-Vincent-De-Paul (SSVP), a charity network in France, makes the case for people to volunteer and spend time with those in need of human interaction. SSVP has been fighting loneliness and isolation since its founding in 1833,
Ad agency CLM BBDO, Paris, came up with the concept for this short, titled “B.E.N.,” which was directed by David Wilson via Paris production house La Pac.

The Japanese-based photo-sharing app FamilyAlbum, isn’t yet a household name in the U.S., but it does boast 23 million subscribers. To help break into the U.S., the brand recently teamed up with creative agency Familiar Creatures to launch its first major marketing campaign in the market.
The campaign includes this :30--directed by Jordan Rodericks via SpangTV--which portrays the pressure a new mother faces as family and friends demand photos of her newborn, immediately after birth, reflecting the high expectations for immediate photo-sharing in today’s connected world.
The satirical tone of the video is designed to capture the humor in real-life situations while promoting the user-friendly interface and stress-relief that FamilyAlbum provides along with free, unlimited storage.
The campaign is tailored for busy families who want a straightforward solution to store and share important moments without overwhelming social media feeds or worrying about privacy.
