It’s kind of like winning the whole enchilada. The whole hog. The whole nine yards. The whole kit and caboodle. These metaphors are visually brought to life by director Errol Morris of Moxie Pictures for agency David&Goliath, Los Angeles.
Titled “It’s All Yours,” this spot uses these metaphors to show what it’s like if you win the California Lottery’s new Taxes Paid Scratchers tickets. Taxes Paid eliminates the federal tax payment on the top prize and recipients take home the full amount while the California Lotto pays all taxes associated–no questions asked.

The Ad Council, partnering with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and AdoptUSKids, launched a public service campaign, created pro bono by Edelman, which aims to inspire prospective parents to consider adopting a teen from foster care.
This centerpiece PSA titled “The Rewards”--directed by The Hudson Dusters (Michael Kuhn and Niles Roth) via Greenpoint Pictures--spotlights real adoptive families who have personally experienced the mutual benefits of adoption. This longer form PSA (and cutdown versions) begins with a touching display of openness and vulnerability as adoptive parents reflect on their adoption journeys and their initial questions and hesitations about adopting a teen. Then, in a deeply emotional turn, the adoptive parents witness their children recounting the profound rewards of adoption in their lives. The teens speak of the love they share with their parents and how the decision to become a family is reciprocal. The campaign directs viewers to the AdoptUSKids website to learn more about adopting a teen from foster care.
