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.”

Top Spot of the Week: iPhone 16, Director David Shane “Write Smarter” With Apple Intelligence
Created by Apple’s in-house agency and directed by David Shane of production company O Positive, this commercial is one of two which continues the Apple Intelligence campaign for the iPhone 16.

In the case of this “Write smarter” ad, we meet an office worker who leverages Apple Intelligence on his iPhone 16 Pro to dramatically improve his barely literate email to one that is professional, concise and has a measure of eloquence--much to the surprise and amazement of his boss.
This slice of office life highlights the value of key Apple Intelligence upgrades, including Writing Tools which work wonders with the quality of how one communicates and connects with others.
