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.”

Johnnie Walker wraps up the year with an inspiring campaign that is a direct and bold response to those who would question the strength of women. Created by AlmapBBDO in São Paulo, Brazil, this anthem film--“Forte São Elas” (“Strong are the Women”) starring actress Alice Braga--references one of the most iconic productions in the brand’s history worldwide:”The Man Who Walked Around The World.”
Produced by Surreal Hotel Arts, directed by Lu Villaça, and featuring an original soundtrack by Cabaret Studio, “Forte São Elas” shows Braga walking as she describes how strength plays an essential role in the daily life of every woman. Whether facing stereotypes or countless other barriers, women are the masters of their own choices and stay true to their journeys.
“The campaign recognizes the emotional strength and resilience of every woman who faces and overcomes obstacles every day, and boldly challenges outdated stereotypes. And when they say that whisky is too strong for women, we will tell them: it’s the women who are strong,” said Andrea Rubim, head of marketing for Johnnie Walker.
