This spot explores what drives the world’s best soccer players. Certainly a great play–a dribble or shot by an opponent–can spark a superstar player to be even better, but ultimately it’s an intense rivalry that can prove to be the most compelling motivator. Showcased are the rivalry of the greatest clubs in the world in the most competitive arena: UEFA Champions League. And of course Gatorade fuels the great players–such as Lionel Messi and Alexis Sanchez–in the greatest rivalries.
Cassiano Prado of TWIN directed this commercial titled “Dribble Effect”–part of Gatorade’s “The Best Fuel The Best” campaign–for TBWAChiatDay Los Angeles.

Stain remover Vanish presents this emotional short film--created by BETC Havas, Sao Paulo, and produced by LOBO--that explores the profound consequences of bullying and highlights the importance of open conversations between parents and children. Titled The Bully Monster, the animated film premiered at the Maquinaria Festival in Rio de Janeiro on February 15 in a special edition featuring family-focused programming.
The filmโs protagonist is a boy who experiences bullying at school but keeps silent about his suffering. Isolation turns sadness into insecurity, creating invisible emotional scars that only grow in the absence of dialogue. When his mother notices stains on his uniform, these marks become the starting point for a revealing conversation. As words find space to make themselves heard, the stains begin to fade.
This initiative aligns with the Vanish Saves Your Uniform campaign, which, for the past three years during the back-to-school season, has engaged with parents by positioning the brand as a trusted partner in preserving school uniforms. This year, Vanish decided to broaden the conversation, bringing bullying into the debate as the real stain that can impact a childโs life.
The Bully Monster is being screened as preshow material in movie theaters starting February 20 and will also be available on streaming platforms and digital channels. In addition to the film, the campaign will include out-of-home activations and school initiatives through a partnership with Abrace โ Preventive Programs, the founding organization of the โBullying-Free Schoolsโ program, which has been equipping institutions with resources to combat school violence for 12 years.
