Baby bottle brand Tommee Tippee and its agency McCann New York have rolled out a campaign based on a marketplace insight gleaned from a client-commissioned poll of 1,000 new moms which found that over half felt entirely overwhelmed by unsolicited advice and opinions as to how to raise a baby.
In that spirit, Tommee Tippee and McCann concluded there must be some actual use for all that extra parenting feedback, so they hired a paper making facility to collect baby books and articles, then recycle all the material to create a limited run of baby wipes. Introducing Tommee Tippee Advice Wipes. Made from real, overwhelming baby advice.
This centerpiece spot in the “Parent On!” campaign was directed by Spencer Riviera of O Positive.

Comcast and Xfinity have released this short, “Stay Connected to Your Dreams,” to celebrate the November 22 release of Universal Pictures’ feature film Wicked.
Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, based on the generation-defining blockbuster stage musical, stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. This short follows their journeys from childhood to present day, where they take on the iconic roles of Elphaba and Glinda, respectively. Along the way, Wicked fans will be delighted by Easter eggs, including props from the film and Broadway show, and will experience emotional, real-life moments featuring the two stars. The short film was unveiled today (11/12) on Erivo and Grande’s social channels and can be viewed across television, social media and on an Xfinity site.
“Stay Connected to Your Dreams,” which is directed by Wicked DP Alice Brooks, ASC (via production house Superprime) in collaboration with Wicked director Jon M. Chu, taps into the power of connection, friendship and achieving your dreams. It begins with Grande and Erivo’s childhoods, and how Wicked fueled their love for music and film. It then moves through their teen years and into adulthood where Grande shared the fateful tweet in 2011 that playing Glinda in Wicked would be her dream role. The short film concludes with the actual footage from the videoconferencing call back in 2021, where both women learned they’ve been cast in the coveted roles of Elphaba and Glinda.
In addition, the short film will be the first-ever 4DX spot shown across the country. Theater-goers will feel the magic of Oz, complete with an immersive cinema experience combining on-screen visuals with synchronized motion seats... Read More
