This opening film for this year’s Clio Awards pays homage to the resilience and adaptability of the advertising industry.
Alex Gorosh of Hungry Man directed this piece in which a contemporary dance fairy works her magic in the empty offices of the land’s major ad agencies, adapting and transforming herself much as the ad/marketing world had to do in 2020.
Titled Empty Spaces, the film came out of agency We The Wencks and was scored by music/sound house Beacon Street Studios

Starting this week, FactSet will roll out 16 unique spots—a combination of :30s, :15s, :06s and nine “shorts”—across multiple channels including digital, streaming and CTV.
This :30, “Dinos,” has an office worker’s relevant reference to dinosaurs spark our boorish colleague who proceeds to utter one irrelevant fact after another about the prehistoric creatures.
The Los Angeles–based Docter Twins (Matthew and Jason Docter) directed the original campaign and this new humorous work through their production company, Thinking Machine. The identical twin... Read More
