In this :60 titled “Protect like a mother,” human moms are replaced with animal counterparts who fiercely yet caringly protect children from everything ranging from the rain to being bullied to a potential traffic accident at a crosswalk.
This is the launch film for a campaign from McCann New York for Lysol. The platform is called “What It Takes To Protect” and celebrates the protective strength of parents, and the ways in which germ-killing Lysol is also there to help protect.
Tom Routson of Framestore directed the :60.

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emotional strength and resilience of every woman who faces and overcomes obstacles every day, and boldly challenges outdated stereotypes.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