A not-so-grand circle of critics–who for years have been scoring media points by taking NBA superstar Kevin Durant to task–is finally silenced when the Golden State Warriors win the NBA world championship with Durant named the Finals MVP.
Titled “Debate This,” the Nike spot debuted right after Game 5 of the Finals on Monday night (6/12), in which the Warriors clinched the title.

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.
