Every day at 3pm, when school’s out, millions of America’s kids have nowhere to go and nothing to do. That’s millions of kids out in the world, left to their own devices. And that’s a very real problem which is conveyed in this spot, “50 Million,” part of the new Boys and Girls Clubs’ “3 p.m.” campaign from CP+B Los Angeles.
For years, the Boys and Girls Clubs of America have been there for kids, giving them a place to finish their day once school is out, helping them to get a jumpstart on their future.
“50 Million” was directed by Rodrigo Prieto (DP on films like The Wolf of Wall Street and Argo, among others) and the voiceover is from Denzel Washington. Production house was Little Minx.

FactSet, a global financial digital platform and enterprise solutions provider, has partnered with Chicago-based creative agency VSA Partners to unveil a second round of spots in its “Not Just the Facts” campaign. The campaign originally launched back in April.
The campaign was built on a core strategic insight: While quality data is critical for financial professionals, facts in isolation provide little value. FactSet’s personalization, data connectivity, open and flexible technology, and dedicated service and support provide the context necessary for the investment community to turn facts into valuable insights--and make the most of them.
The new creative picks up where the previous left off. This time it focuses on a particularly boorish office worker, drolly played by character actor Wyndham Maxwell, who ticks off an encyclopedic list of facts and non sequiturs during business meetings and to the bemusement of his colleagues.
The tongue-in-cheek campaign, which plays more like a perfect-pitch comedy series than a typical B2B commercial effort, is a major departure from financial services industry norm--both in its use of humor and in its humanistic approach. Starting this week, FactSet will roll out 16 unique spots—a combination of :30s, :15s, :06s and nine “shorts”—across multiple channels including digital, streaming and CTV.
This :30, “Dinos,” has an office worker’s relevant reference to dinosaurs spark our boorish colleague who proceeds to utter one irrelevant fact after another about the prehistoric creatures.
