The Mercadantes of Park Pictures directed this spot titled “Tattoo” in which we see the lasting impression a mom has made on her daughter. The lass gets a tattoo that simply reads, “Keep shining,” the parting line to a heartfelt note in a birthday card she got from her mom.
Looking at the finished tattoo, the young woman says, “I think she would have liked it.”
“Tattoo” is the first commercial in American Greetings’ “Give Meaning” campaign which takes on an extra poignancy this Mother’s Day weekend. Agency is MullenLowe.

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.
