This “Work is better with play” film takes us through a day in the life of a mom–the real MVP– and her adorable son as they navigate a packed and exciting day full of work, play and everything in between, with the help of the versatile Samsung Galaxy Tab S7/7+, the ideal work-from-home or anywhere productivity tool that’s rooted in entertainment, and features gaming partnerships so you can shoot outer space aliens on the same device you use to design presentations.
Directed by Fredrik Bond of MJZ for BBH NY and set to an iconic track (“Don’t Rain on My Parade”), the film follows mom through her back-to-back calendar as she finishes her designs to make an important presentation at 5 p.m., while making cartoon-shaped pancakes for her son, beating him on a racing game, and even making time to watch a show before going back to bed and getting ready to start all over again. Phew. Mom saves the day again.
The global campaign includes five original super-targeted :15 films, each one showcasing a specific feature of the Galaxy Tab S7/7+ and accessories like S Pen to Text, Game Booster, Ecosystem compatibility, and Galaxy Buds Pro.

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.
