FAVORITE: Polo: Father and Daughter. This spot had me from beginning to end. Great story. Perfect music. Excellent directing. Fantastic little moments. OK, so I'm I new father. But I would've loved it even if I wasn't. Although, would I have gotten all choked up and pretended not to be teary-eyed when someone walked into the room as I was watching the spot? We'll never know. read more

We then created three visuals using real dogs and cats to resemble these icons in their classic scenes. We hope to motivate people and instill empathy in them so that they too will want to adopt a pet and create their own unique story with them.
