In the latest take on New York Lottery’s “How Would You Spend It?” campaign from McCann New York, “Small Town” builds off of the original concept of showing how one New Yorker would spend his time if he won Cash4Life’s top prize of $1,000 a week for life.
Directed by Noam Murro of Biscuit Filmworks, “Small Town” features actual miniature buildings and props to tell the story of how one lucky winner uses his newly afforded time to revisit a childhood hobby.
The spot will be featured across New York State broadcast TV, as well as in cinemas and social media.

Top Spot of the Week: iPhone 16, Director David Shane “Write Smarter” With Apple Intelligence
Created by Apple’s in-house agency and directed by David Shane of production company O Positive, this commercial is one of two which continues the Apple Intelligence campaign for the iPhone 16.
Apple Intelligence is the personal intelligence system that can make users look, feel and be smarter. In the case of this “Write smarter” ad, we meet an office worker who leverages Apple Intelligence on his iPhone 16 Pro to dramatically improve his barely literate email to one that is professional, concise and has a measure of eloquence--much to the surprise and amazement of his boss.
This slice of office life highlights the value of key Apple Intelligence upgrades, including Writing Tools which work wonders with the quality of how one communicates and connects with others.
