While shopping at Monoprix can be a pleasure, carrying groceries that are bought there all the way home is not. Titled “The Worst Song in the World,” this spot directed by the Traktor collective via Stink for Paris agency Rosapark showcases the advantages of having one’s hands free–in this case free of carrying groceries as Monoprix introduces a new customized delivery service.
We see a woman wearing headphones having to endure “The Worst Song in the World.” We see the band performing the song, which is an unwelcomed invasion of the senses. So why not turn off the noise? The camera reveals her hands are tied up carrying huge grocery bags so she has to listen to the song all the way through. Clearly, having your hands free changes everything. Better avail yourself of French grocery store Monoprix’s delivery option.

Stain remover Vanish presents this emotional short film--created by BETC Havas, Sao Paulo, and produced by LOBO--that explores the profound consequences of bullying and highlights the importance of open conversations between parents and children. Titled The Bully Monster, the animated film premiered at the Maquinaria Festival in Rio de Janeiro on February 15 in a special edition featuring family-focused programming.
The film’s protagonist is a boy who experiences bullying at school but keeps silent about his suffering. Isolation turns sadness into insecurity, creating invisible emotional scars that only grow in the absence of dialogue. When his mother notices stains on his uniform, these marks become the starting point for a revealing conversation. As words find space to make themselves heard, the stains begin to fade.
This initiative aligns with the Vanish Saves Your Uniform campaign, which, for the past three years during the back-to-school season, has engaged with parents by positioning the brand as a trusted partner in preserving school uniforms. This year, Vanish decided to broaden the conversation, bringing bullying into the debate as the real stain that can impact a child’s life.
The Bully Monster is being screened as preshow material in movie theaters starting February 20 and will also be available on streaming platforms and digital channels. In addition to the film, the campaign will include out-of-home activations and school initiatives through a partnership with Abrace – Preventive Programs, the founding organization of the “Bullying-Free Schools” program, which has been equipping institutions with resources to combat school violence for 12 years.
