In this Super Bowl :60 titled “Bounty of Earth” for Avocados From Mexico–directed by David Shane of O Positive for agency GSD&M–we are thrust into an interplanetary museum where an alien tour guide leads a bunch of other aliens through an exhibit about Earth. The tour highlights the most unique Earthly possessions that would amaze beings far and wide. These possessions, found by the aliens themselves (and often misinterpreted), include a number of pop-culture treasure troves like the always in-season avocado.
The star treasure on exhibit from Earth is the kidnapped Scott Baio who is anxious to get home, which is where Avocados from Mexico’s #AvosInSpace social campaign comes in. At AvosInSpace.com, viewers can tweet to win prizes and upload their own exhibit to free Scott.

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.
