For many years, people have heard about the dire predictions related to climate change, including rising sea levels, melting snowcaps, superstorms, forest fires, drought and famine. The magnitude of the problem and the enormity of what we need to do as individuals can be overwhelming. It’s also hard to comprehend on a personal and individual level what this means.
To make the impact more direct, individual and personal, Toronto agency Bensimon Byrne developed this campaign for the Government of Ontario’s Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change. For example, climate change can impair, if not eliminate, the lucrative business of clearing snow from driveways. Just ask the youngster entrepreneur and her even younger “employee” about what that means–she tell us directly, noting that she may even have to let go of her trusted shovel-wielding worker.
Each spot in this campaign brings a personal consequence of climate change to light. And everyone will be impacted, from kids to grandparents and everyone in between. That’s why the “Save the Everything” campaign reflects a very diverse range of target groups.
Peter Huang of Asymetric directed this package of spots, including “Save the Snowy Driveways.”

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.
