Featuring comics Eric Wareheim and Atsuko Okatsuka who are cast as the stomach and brain, respectively, this tongue-in-cheek spot for Mars Wrigley’s KIND addresses the relatable tension everyone experiences in snacking–the brain wants healthy, but the stomach wants the opposite. KIND is redefining snacking by providing consumers with an option that is “all kinds of good”–ensuring consumers never have to choose between what tastes good, feels good and does good.
David Shafei of production company World War Seven (WW7) directed this “All Kinds of Good” campaign commercial for agency Energy BBDO, Chicago.

The Ad Council, partnering with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and AdoptUSKids, launched a public service campaign, created pro bono by Edelman, which aims to inspire prospective parents to consider adopting a teen from foster care.
This centerpiece PSA titled “The Rewards”--directed by The Hudson Dusters (Michael Kuhn and Niles Roth) via Greenpoint Pictures--spotlights real adoptive families who have personally experienced the mutual benefits of adoption. This longer form PSA (and cutdown versions) begins with a touching display of openness and vulnerability as adoptive parents reflect on their adoption journeys and their initial questions and hesitations about adopting a teen. Then, in a deeply emotional turn, the adoptive parents witness their children recounting the profound rewards of adoption in their lives. The teens speak of the love they share with their parents and how the decision to become a family is reciprocal. The campaign directs viewers to the AdoptUSKids website to learn more about adopting a teen from foster care.
