NEW YORK --

MJZ earned most honored production company distinction this week at the AICP Awards (spanning the AICP Show and Next Awards) with 13 honors followed by m ss ng p eces and Craft New York/Traction Creative, which each earned four honors. The Corner Shop, Furlined, O Positive, and SMUGGLER each received three honors.

Among directors, Spike Jonze and Matthijs van Heijningen, both of MJZ, each received five honors.  David Shane of O Positive, Malik Vitthal of The Corner Shop, and Dougal Wilson of Furlined each received three honors. 

On the agency front, BBDO New York earned 10 honors and Wieden+Kennedy earned eight honors, while TBWAMedia Arts Lab had seven honors. McCann New York had five honors, while  Saatchi & Saatchi had four. Leo Burnett had three honors, as did the in-house agency at Apple. 

The final tallies came into focus this evening (6/14) as The AICP Show for 2018 premiered at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, closing out AICP Week, a celebration of advertising in the motion image, which also included the debut of the AICP Next Awards at The Tishman Auditorium on Tuesday (6/12).  Susan Credle, global chief creative officer of FCB was the AICP Next Awards judging chair, while Robin Shenfield, co-founder and CEO of The Mill, was the chairperson of the AICP Show. Following its premiere at MoMA, the Show and Next Awards will tour museums and cultural institutions around the country and abroad.  This year’s winners–along with the entire AICP Show and AICP Next Awards archive–are available for viewing here.  Each year, the honored work from both awards presentations becomes a part of the archives of the Department of Film at The Museum of Modern Art. The collection now numbers over 1,975 pieces of advertising in the motion image. 

Each category of the AICP Show may have up to three winners, with the exception of Advertising Excellence/Single Commercial, and Advertising Excellence/Campaign, which each may have only one honoree, making those pieces “Best in Show.” “Welcome Home,” for Apple out of TBWAMedia Arts Lab and directed by Spike Jonze of MJZ, was honored for Advertising Excellence/Single Commercial. The ad features FKA Twigs dancing after a hard day, as her drab apartment is transformed into an endless kaleidoscope by dance and music. Tide’s “It’s a Tide Ad Campaign,” comprising the spots “It’s A Tide Ad,” “It’s Another Tide Ad,” and “It’s Yet Another Tide Ad,” was honored for Advertising Excellence/Campaign. Directed by Traktor of Rattling Stick for Saatchi & Saatchi, the campaign, which debuted during the Super Bowl, uses the tropes of Super Bowl ads to sell consumers on using Tide products.  Videos of some of the honored work can be found at the end of this article.

As previously reported, at Tuesday’s AICP Next Awards the Most Next honor (Best in Show) went to State Street Advisors “Fearless Girl,” from McCann New York. The statue, which promotes the company’s She Fund, was placed on Wall Street opposite The Charging Bull, and helped spark a social movement. The winner of the Most Next honor directs a $5,000 grant from the AICP Foundation to an educational institution of their choosing. McCann directed the grant to Girls Who Invest (GWI), a non-profit organization founded in 2015 dedicated to increasing the number of women in portfolio management and executive leadership in the asset management industry. Its mission is to have 30% of the world’s investable capital managed by women by 2030.  

The AICP Next Awards Curatorial Committee comprised the following Jury Presidents: Winston Binch, Deutsch North America; Jen Dennis, RSA VR; Geoff Edwards, R/GA; Kerstin Emhoff, PRETTYBIRD; Katherine Keating, VICE Impact; Danielle Lee, Spotify; Jaime Robinson, Joan; Jimmy Smith, Amusement Park Universe; Tereasa Surratt, Ogilvy; and Fernando Machado, Burger King. Joining these Jury Presidents were Curators at Large: Rei Inamoto, Inamoto & Co. (2012 AICP Next Awards Judging Chair); Allen Mask, VP/ Marketing, Intelligence and Partnerships, Sonos; Jeff Kling, (2016 AICP Next Awards Judging Chair); and Eric Silver, McCann New York.  

For the AICP Show, The Art & Technique of the American Commercial, has a bifurcated judging system, which begins with a series of judging panels featuring over 400 judges from across the country and around the world, with experts in various fields judging work across the 22 categories. The process culminates in the meeting of the Curatorial Committee, which is the final arbiter in the disposition of the Show, confirming eligibility and appropriateness to category. 

The Mill created the staging, opening sequence and graphic navigation for the AICP Next Awards premiere. Antfood provided music. The AICP Show reel features custom-designed graphics by The Mill, with an original score and sound design by Antfood. The Show Sponsor reel and loop was created by Gentleman Scholar with music by Antfood. 

Base Camp
Nestled between the Next Awards and AICP Show was the AICP Week Base Camp, which featured educational seminars and panels. In these sessions, some of the honored work at the AICP Show and Next Awards was discussed, a couple of prime examples being Procter & Gamble’s “The Talk” which won three AICP Show honors (in the Cause, Direction and Performance categories) and State Street Global Advisors’ “Fearless Girl” which in addition to Most Next won in the Next Experiential, Next Branded Content and Next Cause Marketing categories.

The former was one of the pieces of work shed light on during the course of a Base Camp session titled “For the Greater Good: Why Cause Marketing is a Must for All Brands." Among the speakers were Liv Lewis, VP of minority-certified consulting firm Egami Consulting Group, and Jd Michaels, director of diversity & creative engineering, BBDO NY. Egami and BBDO teamed on “The Talk,” the centerpiece film of the latest "My Black Is Beautiful campaign," now in its 10th year. Directed by Malik Vitthal of The Corner Shop, “The Talk” features different African-American parents having “The Talk” with their kids about racial bias and how it can make life more difficult–and at times even more dangerous.

In one of this piece’s most poignant moments, a girl behind the wheel of a car insists she’s a good driver and her mom doesn’t need to tell her what to do if she gets pulled over. The girl has no intention of getting pulled over because she obeys the speed limit and the rules of the road. Mom doesn’t doubt that but she has to explain to her daughter, “This is not about getting a ticket. This is about you not coming home.”

The "My Black Is Beautiful" campaign is designed to spark a conversation about racial bias, and that’s what it did, noted Lewis and Michaels during the Base Camp conversation. Key to the campaign’s success, observed Lewis, were P&G’s steadfast commitment to the message, and a discovery process which unearthed concerns of parents, touching upon their experiences so that those facts could be accurately reflected in “The Talk.” Lewis recalled a women’s focus group in which an African-American mom considered not enrolling her child in an academically strong, predominantly white school due to the racial bias there. Other women told stories of how they had to rub the “N” word off their mailboxes and walls, reminders of the harsh realities that they needed to educate their kids about. Right-wing groups were critical of “The Talk” with the National Review referring to the piece as an example of “identity politics pandering.” Williams welcomed the criticism because it is part of having a public conversation about racial bias. He noted that extensive research and gaining insights from people’s experiences substantiated that the concerns and incidents conveyed in “The Talk” were factual–and it’s difficult to dispute actual facts.

“Fearless Girl” was among the topics in an AICP Show Curator Session at Base Camp featuring Lisa Mehling, owner/executive producer, Chelsea Pictures, and Deb Archambault, sr. executive producer, McCann New York. Mehling, who’s currently working on an undisclosed project with McCann and Archambault, asked her about the agency’s penchant for breaking new ground. For Archambault, it all started with Lockheed-Martin’s “Field Trip To Mars,” followed last year by “Fearless Girl” and then this year’s Universal Love for client MGM Resorts International. Universal Love is a collection of reimagined wedding songs for the LGBTQ community, celebrating the enduring and overwhelming power of love and music to unite. Universal Love offers six newly recorded versions of iconic love songs that give same-sex couples a soundtrack for their own love stories and feature pronouns changed to reflect the world of LGBTQ relationships. The album, which has spawned a music video and other creations, includes boundary-changing songs from some of today’s most-beloved artists. Bob Dylan, one of the most influential and successful recording artists in American history, is among the visionary artists participating in this unprecedented project. Dylan re-recorded “She’s Funny That Way” as “He’s Funny That Way.” The album features five additional stellar artists whose involvement is a testament to the urgency of equality in entertainment: Kesha (“I Need a Woman to Love Me”), St. Vincent (“And Then She Kissed Me”), Benjamin Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie (“And I Love Him”), Kele Okereke of Bloc Party (“My Guy”), and Valerie June (“Mad About The Girl”).

Archambault said that Universal Love, Field Trip To Mars, and “Fearless Girl” were all “more than a project,” representing deeper sentiments, issues and a sense of purpose. Mehling pointed out that “Fearless Girl” has become a landmark, one of only seven statues in NYC featuring a woman. She said “Fearless Girl” underscores what progressive leadership at an agency and brand can do.

Also in the Base Camp mix was a session on “Forging the Next Generation: Developing Directorial Talent” featuring: Tamika Lamison, program director of the Commercial Directors Diversity Program (CDDP), a joint initiative of the DGA and AICP to increase the number of–and open up real-world opportunities for–women filmmakers and directors of color; and Emma Reeves, executive director of Free The Bid, a non-profit movement which asks ad agencies to include a female filmmaker on every triple-bid project, production companies to sign more woman directors, and marketers to seek one woman’s bid on each of their commercial productions. And now Free the Bid has expanded to other industry sectors to open up more opportunities for women DPs and editors. Moderating this Base Camp discussion was Roberta Griefer, SHOOT publisher and editorial director.

Lamison said that some 400 directors applied for the CDDP program, with six ultimately making the final cut for a six-month program at a production company where they could shadow directors, network with industry professionals, gain mentoring as well as a grant to help fund a spec commercial. The six participating production houses were Pulse, Native Content, Skunk, m ss ng p eces, Backyard and brother. Under the aegis of founding partners, director Ted Melfi and exec producer Rich Carter, brother mentored CDDP director Maya Albanese and wound up signing her, as reported by SHOOT earlier this week, for commercials and branded content in the U.S.

Lamison noted that the spec commercials from the CDDP directors–including the one helmed by Albanese for Georgia-Pacific–will be screened during a CDDP Industry Showcase on July 31 in Los Angeles.

Reeves related that Free The Bid is gaining support from production companies, agencies and brands. She described Antonio Lucio, HP chief marketing and communications officer, as the brand “godfather” of Free The Bid. He’s been a supporter of Free The Bid from the very outset and demonstrates the power of a brand once it decides to take action. Not only has HP provided financial support for Free The Bid, but it also has directly opened up opportunities for female filmmakers. Prior to November 2016, HP had none of its commercials directed by women. Since then, with its connection to Free The Bid, HP has turned out 53 commercials–59 percent of which tapped into the talents of female directors.
