Will and Chuck are police officers ready to spring into action when they get called to chase down a couple of suspects. Enthused, they jump into their police car only to have to spend an inordinate amount of time adjusting the vehicle’s settings including the positioning of the driver’s seat, mirrors, etc. As a result, the thrilling pursuit of bad guys never comes to pass.
If only they had a SKODA, the automobile with a built-in “key” feature. The "key" stores driver settings, meaning that in the case of our eager cops, they could have been ready to roll on a moment’s notice.
With a Hollywood cops-and-robbers movie feel, this humorous SKODA spot came out of Paris agency Rosapark, directed by Jean Baptiste Saurel via production house Big.

With one in five Brits (22%) experiencing a fraud attempt every single week, telecommunications company O2 and VCCP London’s AI creative agency faith have launched what's billed as a first-of-its-kind campaign to fight back against scammers.
At the heart of the campaign is Daisy, a lifelike, state-of-the-art, Conversational AI character designed to speak with scammers and keep them on the phone for as long as possible so they have less time to try and scam real people.
The newest member of O2’s fraud prevention team, Daisy was created using a range of cutting-edge AI technology and is indistinguishable from a real person. Based on a real-life relative of a VCCP employee to ensure total believability, Daisy was built to play on scammers’ own stereotypical views that older people are easier targets for scams. While anyone can be a victim of a scam, criminal fraud gangs often target the elderly, so by leaning into scammers’ own biases, Daisy became the perfect scambaiter.
Phoney fraudsters--including many posing as some of the UK’s most trusted businesses--thought they’d got their hands on an easy target, but Daisy has been beating them at their own horrible game, answering scam calls and wasting scammers calls as part of an awareness campaign which exposes fraudsters tricks and tactics and offers top tips on how to avoid scammers.
Daisy is able to interact in real-time ensuring no suspicions are raised on the other end of the line, and has worked 24/7, and over the course of many hours of scam calls she’s told meandering stories of her family, talked at length about her passion for knitting and provided false personal information including made-up bank details.
