Cadbury and VCCP London have teamed to create “distracted” ads, including this one titled “Mum,” with the source of the distraction being the newly created Cadbury Dairy Milk &More bar–which comes in two flavors, Nutty Praline Crisp and Caramel Nut Crunch.
The idea behind the campaign is to celebrate the bar’s depth by showcasing the distracting power of the &More bar’s fillings, proudly celebrating that “there’s a lot to take in.”
In this spot a woman has locked herself out of the house in the pouring rain. She yells for her mom to let her in–but there’s no response. She calls “mum” on the phone–no answer. The daughter finally goes around to the back of the house, and looks inside through the window to find mom transfixed on the filling in a Caramel Nut Crunch bar.
Tom Speers of production house SMUGGLER directed both commercials in the campaign, including “Mum.”

Children’s charity Barnardos is releasing this thought-provoking film created by BBH Dublin to highlight the challenges some children in Ireland face.
Barnardos knows that to understand a child’s issues takes time and work. It’s not a quick fix.
That forms the basis of the new film in the “Change Their Story” campaign, which follows a young boy recounting a childhood birthday. It begins with him telling a story of a perfect day, surrounded by friends, family, presents and a huge cake topped with candles.
The story is then retold again and again. With each blow of the candle, more of the facade is chipped away to get to the truth; that his birthdays weren’t very special. The story ends with the boy, now in his teens, opening up about his real childhood experience to a Barnardos keyworker. All laddering up to the enduring line, “Because childhood lasts a lifetime.”
BBH Dublin worked closely with Barnardos to capture the reality of the healing process on film--how it’s an ongoing journey that requires continued support. David Leon directed via production company Iconoclast.
Evonne O’Rourke, production lead, BBH Dublin, added, “We felt a real responsibility to produce a piece of work that had impact and the power to support the brilliant work that Barnardos does. We knew we had a great script on our hands, but it was crucial that the idea was underpinned by craft that protected the authenticity of the story.
“It was a fine balance to strike--the production design, edit, sound design and color grade all had key parts to play in shaping and enhancing the narrative but not in a way that would overpower or become the focal point of the film.”
