This moving new spot from Cox Communications shows the power of connection. Directed by INSTITUTE’s Lauren Greenfield, via FCB Chicago, “Not Alone” focuses on the families of children with Koolen-de Vries Syndrome (KDVS), a rare genetic condition associated with developmental delays and several health concerns. With the rarity of KDVS, it’s crucial for families to share information and support one another in order to navigate the ups and downs of the condition and associated healthcare challenges.
Greenfield’s skill in documentary storytelling is reflected in this project as she worked closely with multiple families and the actors bringing their stories to life. She deftly captured their genuine connections and the journeys they have faced together.

The new concept builds on the campaign’s foundation of context--the power of Bloomberg’s journalism to draw deft connections between its wealth of news, insights and data in every corner of the world.
Golden Globe and BAFTA-award winning filmmaker Brady Corbet (The Brutalist) directed three new spots for the campaign via magna studios in his debut helming brand commercials. This spot titled “The Price of Tea in China” takes a well-known and seemingly simple idiom and unpacks its complexity as an international business story in a 30-second journey. (The other two commercials are “Bird in the Hand” and “Rising Tides.” The “Context” campaign continues to be developed in collaboration agency Wieden+Kennedy New York.
