Noam Murro of Biscuit Filmworks tells this story of two high-performance automobiles: a trapped SEAT race car that longs for the freedom of the open road; and the new SEAT Leon CUPRA which enjoys that pleasure, available to the public and able to travel everywhere.
Indeed, by sharp contrast, the race car is confined to the same monotonous loop of the track, day after day, in all sorts of weather–and then locked up in a garage night after night.
Conceived by a creative ensemble at Droga5 London, this :90 spot titled “A Race Car Set Free” will run in Europe and Mexico in cinemas, online and at motor shows, including Geneva where it launches this week.

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.
