Directed by Stink Films’ Matilda Finn and conceived by a creative team at London agency Don’t Panic, this public service piece for U.K. disability charity Leonard Cheshire takes us to a job interview, hearkening back to the prospective employee's arduous journey to recovery after surviving an accident.
The spot is a key component of Leonard Cheshire’s “Journey To Independence” campaign.
Don’t Panic creative director George McCallum said, “If you want to know about work ethic, ask a disabled person. Disability can happen to anybody and when it does the hard work never ends; and yet the physical and emotional struggle of disabled people often goes unnoticed or unseen. Leonard Cheshire sees not only disability but ability. Offering much-needed support and understanding whoever you are, and whatever your journey to independence might look like. To shine a light on just one of these stories we posed a run-of-the-mill interview question (in the spot); ‘What’s your work ethic like?’ And answered it by showing the hard, painful, yet empowering story of one disabled man.”
The film and supporting creative debuted on Facebook, YouTube and Leonard Cheshire’s campaign page.

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.
