“Check Writer” introduces us to a key staffer for Ebates, the company which pays consumers money for shopping online. Our spokesman is a speed demon check writer as conceived by a creative team at marketing agency EVB.
Jared Hess, whose feature filmmaking credits include Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre (as well as the upcoming heist comedy Masterminds), directed “Check Writer” via Community Films, kicking off a gig which will see him helm each Ebates spot for a yearlong campaign spanning the U.S. and Canada.

The Best Work You May Never See: McCann NY, Director Christian Breslauer Sound Grande For New York Lottery
McCann New York launched a campaign for the New York Lottery which includes this music video-style spot directed by Christian Breslauer of London Alley. The :30 features a signature song, “Sounds Grande,” as we see our featured music video protagonist get into the lotto spirit thanks to the new GRANDE Scratch-Off Games (up to $3 million in cash prizes, and a chance drawing for one of 100 VIP trips to Billboard Latin Music Week in Miami). The new lotto games were designed by McCann Design, inspired by the colorful storefronts of New York bodegas.
