Via this series of mini-documentaries created by BBDO New York and produced by BBDO Studios, we are introduced to various people in the Dunkin Donuts’ family. In this particular installment of "Dunkin' Docs," we “Meet Amberlynn,” who worked at a Dunkin’ and decided to paint portraits of regular customers. In meeting her in this doc., she in turn introduces us to Tom and Linda, Dunkin’ regulars with whom Amberlynn developed a daily rapport.
Amberlynn presents her portraits to Tom and Linda, and we see the feelings that have developed over time. Amberlynn explains that she doesn’t think anybody is ordinary and that each individual is the lead to his or her own story–and “that’s beautiful,” she affirmed.
Lawrence Chen directed “Meet Amberlynn” via BBDO Studios.

The Ad Council, partnering with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and AdoptUSKids, launched a public service campaign, created pro bono by Edelman, which aims to inspire prospective parents to consider adopting a teen from foster care.
This centerpiece PSA titled “The Rewards”--directed by The Hudson Dusters (Michael Kuhn and Niles Roth) via Greenpoint Pictures--spotlights real adoptive families who have personally experienced the mutual benefits of adoption. This longer form PSA (and cutdown versions) begins with a touching display of openness and vulnerability as adoptive parents reflect on their adoption journeys and their initial questions and hesitations about adopting a teen. Then, in a deeply emotional turn, the adoptive parents witness their children recounting the profound rewards of adoption in their lives. The teens speak of the love they share with their parents and how the decision to become a family is reciprocal. The campaign directs viewers to the AdoptUSKids website to learn more about adopting a teen from foster care.
