To promote FanDuel’s Daily Fantasy Sports, BBH NY created the “Find More Ways To Win” campaign–the first spot of which is “Armrest Battle” directed by Ulf Johansson of Smith & Jones.
“Armrest Battle” is set on a crowded airplane, where two seat-mates are competing for the limited amount of armrest space. “I wish there were more ways to win at this,” says one passenger, while the other passenger explains how many ways there are to win with FanDuel this fantasy season.

Cannes Gold Lion Film Craft winners “Robbery” and “Funeral” for AXE deodorant were standout ads last year, adroitly blending humor with the brand’s signature edge.
Now, creative agency LOLA MullenLowe in Madrid reunites with Belgian directing duo Lionel Goldstein (Joe Vanhoutteghem and Koen Mortier) to deliver a new campaign for AXE, which explores the theme of sweetness but with an unexpected twist. “The Power of Sweetness” campaign spots subvert traditional notions of charm and kindness, offering a version of “sweet” that’s quite a departure from the norm, staying true to Axe’s playful, irreverent tone while keeping audiences laughing.
In this spot titled “Dog,” man’s best friend is anything but, jealous of an AXE body fragrance-wearing gent who’s courting the canine’s beloved woman owner. We see how sweetness can turn sour when dog takes sweet revenge on the woman’s beau.
Repped by Slim Pictures in the U.S., Lionel Goldstein directed the latest package of AXE spots via Belgium-headquartered production house CZAR.
