CarMax pays homage to the small inventions which can make life a bit more enjoyable, providing a measure of comfort and relief–like the built-in wine holder for showers, the slanket (blanket with sleeves) or the Saucemoto. Akin to those breakthroughs are CarMax innovations like the 24-hour test drive proposed by Stephanie or the online means to let customers shop for vehicles from home as crafted by tech experts.
Life and car buying have indeed changed over the past year. This “Inventors” spot directed by Guy Shelmerdine of SMUGGLER for The Martin Agency shows how CarMax has made a leap forward with its inventions which also include the 30-day Money Back Guarantee.

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.
