The spot celebrates the lengths people will go to get their hands on even just one bite of gooey, creamy, cheesy Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. Directed by Hank Perlman of Hungry Man for CP+B and set to Marvin Hamlisch’s “What I Did For Love,” this :45 features the various ruses, sneakiness, and outright thievery by Kraft Mac & Cheese lovers of all ages. “What I Did for Love” was written by Marvin Hamlisch and Edward Kleban in 1975 for Broadway, and has been recorded by many artists since. This version for this commercial was arranged by JSM Music, New York.

Ad Council, Directing Duo The Hudson Dusters Share “The Rewards” Of Adopting Teens From Foster Care
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.
