McCann NY created this campaign designed to drive weekday business to MGM National Harbor, the casino and resort in Washington DC. While Friday night is regarded as a great night to enjoy a casino, what about the other weekdays?
To consider those possibilities on Monday through Thursday, McCann teamed with director Jim Jenkins of O Positive to personify each of those days in different spots, including this one in which a guy who’s Monday bemoans all the fun folks are having on his night at MGM National Harbor. The campaign asserts that "Every Day is Monumental" at MGM National Harbor.

Johnnie Walker wraps up the year with an inspiring campaign that is a direct and bold response to those who would question the strength of women. Created by AlmapBBDO in São Paulo, Brazil, this anthem film--“Forte São Elas” (“Strong are the Women”) starring actress Alice Braga--references one of the most iconic productions in the brand’s history worldwide:”The Man Who Walked Around The World.”
Produced by Surreal Hotel Arts, directed by Lu Villaça, and featuring an original soundtrack by Cabaret Studio, “Forte São Elas” shows Braga walking as she describes how strength plays an essential role in the daily life of every woman. Whether facing stereotypes or countless other barriers, women are the masters of their own choices and stay true to their journeys.
“The campaign recognizes the emotional strength and resilience of every woman who faces and overcomes obstacles every day, and boldly challenges outdated stereotypes. And when they say that whisky is too strong for women, we will tell them: it’s the women who are strong,” said Andrea Rubim, head of marketing for Johnnie Walker.
