Uber, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and Tool of North America teamed on a campaign that calls attention to the all-too-common excuses for drunk driving, replacing them in this spot with “Reasons To Ride” other forms of transit ranging from Uber to train or bus.
Tool’s Phillip Montgomery directed this public service message which contrasts scenes of people giving a reason for driving drunk with scenes of Uber, train and bus drivers echoing the same “excuses”–except they’re reasons for riding transportation provided by a sober driver.

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emotional strength and resilience of every woman who faces and overcomes obstacles every day, and boldly challenges outdated stereotypes.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