This latest spot in Sheraton’s “Go Beyond” campaign out of agency Venables Bell & Partners ties into the hotel chain’s partnership with Major League Baseball.
We see a Sheraton associate running hard around the bases at a baseball stadium with a glove under her arm while a colleague waves her toward home plate. As the tension builds and she slides into home, the scene transitions quickly to the lobby of a Sheraton, revealing that she was running through the hotel the whole time. She reaches an elevator just in time to hand the glove she was carrying to a young Cub’s fan on his way to the ballpark who had misplaced it. The commercial serves as the latest example that no matter how big or small, Sheraton folks “Go Beyond: so that their guests can too.
Mark Albiston of The Sweet Shop directed this piece which was cut by Martin Leroy of Whitehouse Post.

Top Spot of the Week: iPhone 16, Director David Shane “Write Smarter” With Apple Intelligence
Created by Appleโs 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 โWrite smarterโ 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.
