Curtis Wehrfritz of Untitled Films, Toronto, directed this three-spot tongue-in-cheek campaign. Developed by DDB Canada’s Toronto office, the creative is based on the idea that K-Y makes physical intimacy with your partner so comfortable and easy, women will view sex, and their partners in a whole new light.
In this particular spot, we see a middle-aged man trying to start a lawnmower–hardly a sexy sight. Yet beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. And the man’s wife looks with desire upon her lawnmowing hunk, seeing him quite differently in light of what K-Y has done to enhance their physical relationship.

PRETTYBIRD filmmaker Salomon Ligthelm reteams with English-Nigerian artist Little Simz on the conceptual and visually rich music video “Flood.”
Featuring Obongjayar & Moonchild Sanelly, “Flood” is a hyper-stylized meditation on materialism and its role in shaping culture.
Staying in a performance-based visual space, Ligthelm captures Little Simz in dramatic black and white. True to his signature photographic style--which borders on the edge of fine-art-like--the framing and texture of ‘Flood’ plays quite minimalist while the performances are equally playful and extravagant.
Ligthelm previously directed Little Simz’s 2021 award-winning music video “Introvert.”
