DoorDash, an official sponsor of Major League Soccer, has delivered its“Passion Should Never Go Hungry” campaign which is inspired by soccer fans.
Directed by Luke Monaghan via production company London Alley, this centerpiece spot follows a diverse crowd of soccer fans, following the lead of an impassioned capo. As he bellows out a rousing soccer chant, set to the tune of “When The Saints Go Marching In” with playfully tweaked Spanglish lyrics, the horde marches through the street, demanding what they most desire: food. Singing about their love of pizza and fries, the chant deepens with increasing layers of harmony and instrumentation, transforming into a full-blown musical experience as it reaches its crescendo.
The DoorDash in-house team approached music and sound house SOUTH directly for the project. With the song and lyrics already chosen by DoorDash, SOUTH was tasked with all the rest, from original music and voice casting to arrangement, sound design, and final mix.

Idris Elba returns as ServiceNow’s brand ambassador and evangelist CEO in this campaign from BBDO New York positioning the platform as providing a single solution that delivers AI to people across every corner of a company.
Directed by Matt Aselton of Arts & Sciences, the campaign includes this spot titled “Connecting Corners” in which Elba--accompanied by a skeptical sidekick--walks through a company, pointing out how AI is helping everyone work better, together.
Elba continues to prove he’s not just a spokesperson, but a true partner, with plans to integrate ServiceNow products across his own companies and partnering with ServiceNow to take on a project that’s near and dear to his heart — bringing Sherbro Island off the coast of Sierra Leone into the 21st Century by creating sustainable energy and clean water resources.
Jim Lesser, chief brand officer of ServiceNow, said, “In this campaign, Idris Elba knows that ServiceNow is the secret sauce to transforming business. We wanted to show how our platform makes AI agents work across every corner of business, solving problems, boosting productivity, and bringing everything together.”
