Millions of years ago, pterosaurs ruled the skies. Neither birds nor dinosaurs, they were something all their own, and the largest creatures ever to fly. And now these winged wonders are back–soaring over San Francisco–in a new campaign for the California Academy of Sciences. Developed by Ron Foth Advertising in Columbus, Ohio, the campaign introduces the Academy’s new exhibit, Pterosaurs: Flight in the Age of Dinosaurs. The TV and online commercial spot features life-like pterosaurs flying over the Golden Gate Bridge, the San Francisco skyline, and the Academy itself in Golden Gate Park. The campaign’s digital, print and radio ads showcase rare fossils, and bring their prehistoric stories to life.
Spot was directed by Ron Foth Jr. of Ron Foth Advertising, with animation from Copenhagen-based studio Ghost VFX.

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.
