Tostitos has launched a campaign, “For the Love of Chips and Dip,” featuring Kate McKinnon and Dan Levy. In this TV and online spot directed by Martin Granger of Moxie Pictures for Goodby Silverstein and Partners, the comedic duo of McKinnon and Levy articulate their takes on Tostitos Habanero’s level of spice–one-upping each other as good friends might do.
In addition to this “One-Upper” spot, fans are even invited to join in on the fun through an interactive Snapchat lens, creating an opportunity for them to “one-up” their friends, just like Levy and McKinnon. Fans can access this lens on Snapchat beginning April 6.

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.
