AlmapBBDO created a campaign for CNN Brazil which deploys a polygraph to detect the real, so-called fake news. This first spot in the “Commitment to the truth” campaign centers on the war in Ukraine, set against statements in Russian by president Vladimir Putin such as: “We have no plans to invade Ukraine” and “We do not intend to impose anything on anyone by force.” As viewers hear these declarations, they see the arm of the polygraph skidding back and forth, the lines forming images of news coverage produced by CNN Brazil of Russian assaults on Ukraine. The video concludes: “Not one line beyond the facts.”
Marco “Pernil” Giannelli, chief creative officer of AlmapBBDO, said, “The most talked-about topic in journalism today, by a long shot, is ‘fake news.’ And since every media outlet is addressing the issue, any campaign would have to take a fresh approach. That’s why I was such a fan of using a polygraph to depict real events and to show CNN Brazil’s commitment to the truth.”

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.
