Joan Creative devised this campaign for confectionery brand Black Forest that introduces us to The People of The Black Forest–a previously unknown civilization, nestled in the verdant green forest, who have built a community around harvesting land fertile with deliciously juicy gummies and fruit flavored snacks. Through the reverence and traditions of the people of The Black Forest, the “So Juicy, Ja!” campaign showcases what makes Black Forest so special–deliciously juicy products made with real ingredients.
Directed by Sam Brown of production house Imperial Woodpecker, this extended spot shows the lengths The People of The Black Forest go to bring their gummies home.

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the emotional strength and resilience of every woman who faces and overcomes obstacles every day, and boldly challenges outdated stereotypes.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.
