 This week's guest judge is Georgina Hofmann, freelance creative director at Strawberry Frog, New York. Winner: Big Save Furniture ' Prices That Make Sense'. This spot proves humor is still alive and well in advertising. Honestly, it's nice to laugh out loud at a spot again. A strong strategy lets this execution wander into irreverence and entertainment - making butter never seem so desirable, until it's not.

 Portugal is facing major social challenges. It is the fastest ageing country in the European Union, with 1.7m elderly people living or feeling alone. At the same time, rents have recently tripled, pricing young people out of the market. Unable to afford accommodation of their own, 95% of young Portuguese people live with their parents. Many are leaving Portugal entirely. This Christmas, MEO, Portugal's leading telecom and a purpose-driven company, is diverting most of its marketing budget to address this issue. Conceived and created by Dentsu Creative Portugal, Share Home (Partilha Casa) is a three-year national initiative, to bring together high school and university students looking for accommodation far from home, with older people who live alone VIEW THE SPOT

The ad, via agency &Rosas, focuses on a woman who is blissfully impervious to a romantic dinner gone awry because with Wallbox, 'she's in charge.' Martin directed the spot, aptly titled 'Get in Charge,' through Madrid and Barcelona-based production company Roma. VIEW THE SPOT

 More and more young people are becoming victims of 'exposing.' This is when their naked images are spread online without their consent. Glenn was one such victim. When he was 15, he took a nude with his mobile phone and sent it in confidence, only to find it on the internet. Shortly afterwards, Glenn took his own life. On 18 November, the European Day for the Protection of Children against Sexual Exploitation and Abuse, Wunderman Thompson Benelux and Child Focus reactivated his phone to better protect other minors online. In 2022, Child Focus, the Belgian Center for Missing and Sexually Exploited Children, opened a total of 151 cases of transgressive sexting and exposing. This is when young people are pressured into sending or sharing sexually suggestive messages or images without consent. VIEW THE 4 CONCEPTS
 We're living in a world that's getting less real by the day. AI, social media, relationships, the food we eat. It's all a bit fake. But KALO is different. Unlike Greek-style yogurts, KALO is an authentic Greek yoghurt, made the real way. No additives, no preservatives. Just milk and Greek culture. So, we looked at it through the eyes of someone we can all relate to. Someone craving a little more realness - a sentient self-checkout machine at the supermarket, who's spent her life staring at it, just out of reach. Agency: DDB Aotearoa VIEW THE SPOT
 While India has the highest female STEM graduates at 43%, only 14% end up staying in their field. The reason? A lack of female role models and inspiring mentors. Instead, they're bombarded by cultural and gender bias, stereotypes and tremendous family expectations. Hundreds of voices telling them that there's no place for them in STEM. So to #StemTheGap, Olay gathered the voices of top female scientists in India, drew from their real-life experiences and over 500 pages of collected data, and created AI-SHU. AI-SHU is a web-based virtual chat mentor that offers invaluable guidance to young Indian women pursuing STEM careers. VIEW THE SPOT

 The idea: Outsmarting Nazis by securing their codes with trademark law, and revoking the rights of Nazi online shops to use them. Together with Laut gegen Nazis, we secured trademark rights for German and international Nazi codes at the European trademark office. As the new rightful owners of these trademarks, we can now bring Nazi shops to justice for the first time ever. By compelling them to remove and destroy the merch bearing these codes and claiming compensation for each item sold. More and more of these trademarks will be published to create PR buzz for our campaign. We introduced our smart idea to our audience with a film and a website, optimised for press and social media. It is designed to engage our audience and encourage them to take part through donations. Agency: Jung von Matt, Germany VIEW THE CONCEPT

 Created in-house by Apple MARCOM and launched ahead of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (December 3rd) this latest film promotes accessibility on Apple devices, focusing on a new feature introduced in iOS17 called Personal Voice. Titled 'The Lost Voice', the spot tells the tale of a young girl and her fantastical floppy-eared friend, as they search high and low for his missing voice, before revealing a uniquely personal moment between a father and a daughter. The film is narrated entirely by the father, Dr. Tristram Ingham, who is an associate professor of epidemiology and a disability advocate from Wellington, New Zealand. He has facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), which causes progressive muscle degeneration that can ultimately lead to an inability to speak. The Personal Voice technology he uses to narrate the ad enables Dr. Ingham to preserve and continue to use his own voice well into the future. VIEW THE SPOT
