A little girl’s Xmas note to Santa takes on a devilish twist when a typo–which reads Satan instead of Santa–leads to it being delivered to the lord of evil in his fiery kingdom of hell.
Having never before received a sweet, complimentary, loving note before, Satan finds himself strangely moved, revealing a softer side that he instinctively tries to fight.
This is the comedic premise behind Anomaly London’s animated Xmas short film, Dear Satan, showcasing the agency’s creative and production chops. Patrick Stewart narrated the short, which was written, directed, animated and produced by Anomaly, continuing a holiday tradition. Last year Anomaly London made the well-received short The 12 Days of Christmas–A Tale of Avian Misery.

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.
