Knucklehead has added directing duo Broken Antenna–aka Myles McAuliffe and Gustav Newby–to its U.K. roster. Their work spans such clients as Nike, Irn-Bru, and the British Heart Foundation.

Recent work has been for Jam Baxter Feat. Rag ‘n’ Bone Man and their new promo "Wonderland" for Hak….

Officials say the main goal of these proposals is to get Google to stop leveraging its dominant search engine to illegally squelch competition and stifle innovation.
"The playing field is not level because of Google's conduct, and Google's quality reflects the ill-gotten gains of an advantage illegally acquired," the Justice Department asserted in its recommendations. "The remedy must close this gap and deprive Google of these advantages."
Not surprisingly, Google sees things much differently. The Justice Department's "wildly overbroad proposal goes miles beyond the Court's decision," Kent Walker, Google's chief legal officer, asserted in a blog post. "It would break a range of Google products — even beyond search — that people love and find helpful in their everyday lives."
It's still possible that the Justice Department could ease off on its attempts to break up Google, especially if President-elect Donald Trump... Read More
