Saatchi & Saatchi NY releases its latest AMDRO work, directed by rock star and horror movie director Rob Zombie.nnAppropriately entitled “Ant March,” this iteration emphasizes the idea that no one ever sees the invasion coming. One morning you wake up and they’re everywhere. Ants. Suddenly you’re overwhelmed with an uncontrollable fury – a primal rage that says, "Must. Kill. Now." nnBugs drive even the sanest person crazy, and when they do, it’s time to get crazy right back. AMDRO fulfills every person’s cold-blooded, insecticidal dreams.nnSaatchi NY’s commercial is certainly striking; the arresting cinematography paired with an eerie, repetitive voiceover makes the commercial feel like an actual mini horror movie. nn

The Light and BIEN Form Creative & Strategic Alliance
Production company The Light and motion design studio BIEN have forged a strategic alliance that nurtures inclusivity and sustainability throughout the life cycle of every project.
The Light Founder/CEO Becky Morrison and BIEN Co-Founder Ricardo Roberts were first introduced by a mutual client who recognized their parallel ethos. Both Morrison and Roberts are advocates for industry change, and have built successful companies that demonstrate the benefits of human-centered and sustainable production in live action and motion design, respectively.
โI admire the thoughtfulness, specificity, and artistry with which BIEN produces animation and design and their attention to representing the full spectrum of humanity,โ notes Morrison. โTheir work behind the scenes to foster a diverse creative community is equally impressive. It feels like the perfect moment to partner with another mission-driven company who cares so deeply about creative excellence and social change.โ
โI immediately hit it off with Becky and love that she has so many ideas that are tactical, scalable and make a powerful difference,โ adds Roberts. โShe challenges the status quo while producing beautiful, world-class content. With this partnership, we can better serve our clients and carry our mission forward together.โ
