 Pantosaurus, the latest instalment of the NSPCC's 'Pants' campaign, is a two-minute short designed to encourage parents to talk to their children about sexual abuse. Created by Aardman, the film enlists the help of animated dinosaurs to explain to children how to stay safe from abuse. Aimed at four to eight-year-olds, Adelphoi Music wrote lyrics and music for Pantosaurus, who delivers his message through song. Adelphoi were briefed whilst the concept was still in development and were given directions as to what the character represented as well as the aims and goals of the campaign. The music was written by one of Adelphi's in-house composing team, Ashley Bates, who produced, recorded and sang the song with his children at Adelphi's studios.

The level of awareness of the brand's promise called 'JOY' was not high. Thus, Innored Korea set the goal to communicate the clear and definite true nature of BMW to consumers and deliver the message of JOY. In order to deliver the value of BMW as the clear and definite essence, the experience of seeing and touching is essential to the consumers.

The brand film, created by krow, heroes DFS' three Team GB ambassadors: cyclist, Laura Trott; gymnast, Max Whitlock and swimmer, Adam Peaty as well as some of DFS' own craftspeople. It shines a light on British quality manufacturing by announcing that DFS have been awarded a British Standard for the strength and durability of their sofas and by featuring their Britannia, 'Great British Sofa', which is inspired by the best of British design, materials and workmanship and made especially for Team GB. Throughout the 30 second 'Great Brits' ad, the film cuts between the three athletes going through their rigorous training regimes and the DFS craftsmen and women who are hard at work in DFS' own Lincoln House Workshop, Derbyshire. There is a synergy between the athletes' and craftspeople's actions; both look heroic and are beautifully shot in a moody atmosphere to create a stunning and slick sporting brand film. The ad ends on a young supporter cheering on the team from the Britannia sofa at home.VIEW THE SPOT Wild Turkey Bourbon: Matthew McConaughey's Wild Turkey The only thing our great story was missing was a great storyteller.

Agency: Augusto NZVIEW THE HAMISH BOND SPOT VIEW THE ELIZA MCCARTNEY SPOT  Not too long ago, when you closed the front door, you shut out the world. Home was a place where you could escape demands, kick back and truly be yourself. And according to the annual IKEA Life at Home Report, this is still what people want from their homes. But we are social too, and these days we socialise around the clock, sharing our lives and our homes with friends and even strangers. Socialising is great, but it brings with it constant comparison and expectations. These can be inspiring - or stress you out. This is especially true around the kitchen and food. We live in a world of lifestyle blogs, TV programs and cookbooks that are constantly raising the bar. Wherever we look we're bombarded with images of perfection. But how are all these people managing to constantly serve delicious, nutritious, locally-sourced, seasonally-appropriate meals every day, while you're struggling just to get the kids to eat? Truth is, they're not. So relax. No one is perfect, everyone "cheats" in the kitchen, and everyone does what they have to do to make life work. And that's OK. In fact, at IKEA we think it's more than OK. We think it's great.VIEW THE SPOT  San Francisco-based advertising agency Odysseus Arms brings monstrous pangs of hunger to life in the new :30 'Appetites' for Foster Farms Corn Dogs.
