    Brian Lee Hughes Directs “Puppy” For Subaru, Carmichael Lynch

    By SHOOTUpdated:No Comments2592 Views

    Brian Lee Hughes directed the new Barkley Family campaign for Subaru, featuring dogs who are equal parts adorable, humorous and touching. In this spot titled “Puppy,” a dog drives around in a Subaru with his pup in the back seat, ensconced in a doggie car seat. Sure enough, the motion of the car lulls the pup to sleep–until the car makes its way back home to the driveway at which point pop opens the driver side door, waking the pup. So it’s back on the road in another trip designed to induce slumber.

    A super reads, “Dog tested, Dog approved.”

    The campaign is a return engagement for Hughes with agency Carmichael Lynch. This is the director’s second outing with the Barkleys–a follow up to 2014’s “Meet the Barkleys” campaign. The new campaign spots, including “Puppy,” will air nationally in the coming weeks, including during Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl XII on Feb. 7.

    Ad Council, Directing Duo The Hudson Dusters Share “The Rewards” Of Adopting Teens From Foster Care

    Wednesday, November 20, 2024

    The Ad Council, partnering with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and AdoptUSKids, launched a public service campaign, created pro bono by Edelman, which aims to inspire prospective parents to consider adopting a teen from foster care.

    This centerpiece PSA titled “The Rewards”--directed by The Hudson Dusters (Michael Kuhn and Niles Roth) via Greenpoint Pictures--spotlights real adoptive families who have personally experienced the mutual benefits of adoption. This longer form PSA (and cutdown versions) begins with a touching display of openness and vulnerability as adoptive parents reflect on their adoption journeys and their initial questions and hesitations about adopting a teen. Then, in a deeply emotional turn, the adoptive parents witness their children recounting the profound rewards of adoption in their lives. The teens speak of the love they share with their parents and how the decision to become a family is reciprocal. The campaign directs viewers to the AdoptUSKids website to learn more about adopting a teen from foster care.
