Y&R New York has unveiled for client Xerox a contemporary take on a beloved 1976 Super Bowl commercial, “Brother Dominic.” In that iconic ad, Brother Dominic turned to a Xerox copier to duplicate his meticulously hand written manuscript. Fast forward to the new commercial, and Xerox technology enables Brother Dominic to translate his manuscript into assorted languages, personalize and share it both physically and digitally across all devices–worldwide.
James Rouse of The Corner Shop directed the new Brother Dominic commercial. Inspiring the piece was the work of Allen Kay, creative director at Needham who created the original Brother Dominic commercial.

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emotional strength and resilience of every woman who faces and overcomes obstacles every day, and boldly challenges outdated stereotypes.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