Tom Tagholm of Park Pictures directed this spot, “First Day Out” for Co-op supermarkets out of agency Lucky Generals, London.
The ad announces the roll-out of Co-op’s in-store recycling program for soft plastic, plastic bags and product wrapping. Equally though, “First Day Out” speaks to the mood of the U.K., reflecting that while some of us are still a little hesitant to go back into public, there is joy to be found in the little “everyday” things we have all missed–like popping to our local supermarket to do our bit for the environment. In this case, a lone man does his part for recycling, underscoring that no gesture is too small.

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the emotional strength and resilience of every woman who faces and overcomes obstacles every day, and boldly challenges outdated stereotypes.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.
