Intuity Medical, Inc., a medical technology company, rolled out a campaign promoting Pogo Automatic, which checks out a person’s blood sugar level sans any of the typical hassles involved–such as having to wear a glucose sensor.
Conceived by creative agency Cutwater, the campaign includes two centerpiece spots, including this one titled “Pickleball” which introduces us to two naturist pickleballers. They play the sport stark naked, except for socks and sneakers. The woman also has to wear a glucose sensor on her arm, which makes her feel self-conscious on the court. But Pogo Automatic comes to the rescue, meaning she can return to the court unencumbered.
Hank Perlman of production company Hungry Man directed both commercials in the “You’re Good To Pogo” campaign.

PRETTYBIRD filmmaker Salomon Ligthelm reteams with English-Nigerian artist Little Simz on the conceptual and visually rich music video “Flood.”
Featuring Obongjayar & Moonchild Sanelly, “Flood” is a hyper-stylized meditation on materialism and its role in shaping culture.
Staying in a performance-based visual space, Ligthelm captures Little Simz in dramatic black and white. True to his signature photographic style--which borders on the edge of fine-art-like--the framing and texture of ‘Flood’ plays quite minimalist while the performances are equally playful and extravagant.
Ligthelm previously directed Little Simz’s 2021 award-winning music video “Introvert.”
