Hank Perlman of Hungry Man directed this spot in which a lad can’t understand why his dad keeps Star Wars Kraft Macaroni & Cheese–with boxes featuring faces of Yoda, Darth Vader, R2D2 and C3PO–on a shelf in a room full of Star Wars collectibles. The youngster points out that Mac & Cheese is for eating, not for collecting.
Titled “Can’t Play,” the commercial is part of a campaign from agency CP+B which also includes a digital experience (www.KraftStarWarsRoom.com) where users can explore the room shown in the ad. Tapping on each piece of memorabilia, pulls up additional photos and information.

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emotional strength and resilience of every woman who faces and overcomes obstacles every day, and boldly challenges outdated stereotypes.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