The Natural Diamond Council (NDC) has launched its first ever celebrity campaign, starring actress Ana de Armas who recently received a Golden Globe nomination for her role in Knives Out, and will soon appear in the upcoming James Bond film, No Time to Die.
The hero spot in the “For Moments Like No Other” campaign–which debuted during this past Sunday’s first ever virtual Emmy Awards–was directed by Manu Cossu via production house Iconoclast and shot in coastal Portugal by DP Hoyte van Hoytema for the Jane Smith Agency.

ล koda is launching its first electric compact SUV, Elroq, with a campaign highlighting how curiosity can lead to inspiration.
โBe more Elroqโ, created by FCB London, centers around the idea that everything in the world--including a chipmunk, raccoons and a hummingbird--can be a source of inspiration if youโre curious enough.
Thia 45-second hero film opens on a chipmunk sitting surrounded by nuts in a completely stripped-back, green world. The narrator embarks on his mission to share curious facts with the audience by explaining that chipmunks can fit up to 12 nuts in their mouths at the same time. The focus then shifts to two raccoons, as the voiceover explains that raccoons can see in the dark without blinding other raccoons. Next up is a hummingbird that can drink a flowerโs nectar quicker than the narrator can finish his sentence.
These curious facts are metaphors that each represent a feature of the Elroq--quick battery charge, surprising storage space, and LED Matrix headlights. The film ends with an Elroq car driving out in the real world with the tagline โBe more Elroq.โ
Owen Lee, chief creative officer at FCB London, said, โWith the Elroq launch for ล koda, we wanted to crack open the category and do something genuinely fresh. Thatโs where these curious metaphors come in. Theyโre not just showing you what the Elroq can do, but what ล koda is--a brand with a bold, joyful spirit.โ
