What does mom want her kids to do most this Mother’s Day?
She wants them to “do nothing”–which is your best way to stay safe during the pandemic.
And the preferred choice for doing nothing is to stay at home, plant yourself on the couch and watch TV–specifically the offerings on the Sling TV streaming service.
For this Sling commercial, The Martin Agency turned to real moms in quarantine across the country to spread a simple message–chill out and veg on TV, shelter in place to stay free of COVID-19. Moms insist. And you better listen to their rallying cry, “Do nothing for mom.”
Technically, you don’t even need to sign up with Sling TV to follow mom’s orders this year. With the streaming giant’s “Happy Hour Across America,” Sling is offering free access to its platform every night from 5pm to midnight.

Idris Elba returns as ServiceNow’s brand ambassador and evangelist CEO in this campaign from BBDO New York positioning the platform as providing a single solution that delivers AI to people across every corner of a company.
Directed by Matt Aselton of Arts & Sciences, the campaign includes this spot titled “Connecting Corners” in which Elba--accompanied by a skeptical sidekick--walks through a company, pointing out how AI is helping everyone work better, together.
Elba continues to prove he’s not just a spokesperson, but a true partner, with plans to integrate ServiceNow products across his own companies and partnering with ServiceNow to take on a project that’s near and dear to his heart — bringing Sherbro Island off the coast of Sierra Leone into the 21st Century by creating sustainable energy and clean water resources.
Jim Lesser, chief brand officer of ServiceNow, said, “In this campaign, Idris Elba knows that ServiceNow is the secret sauce to transforming business. We wanted to show how our platform makes AI agents work across every corner of business, solving problems, boosting productivity, and bringing everything together.”
