 This week's guest judge is Kaleeta McDade, Global Chief Experience Design Officer at VML. Winner: Twix ' Harmoniser'. This commercial is pure magic - the kind of offbeat, duet that makes you stop mid-scroll and grin like it's 1984 all over again. A copywriter gained their wings on this one, a perfect mix of sass and soul feels like the comeback we didn't know we needed.

 Every marathon runner knows about Mile 20. It’s the dreaded stretch where glycogen stores run dry, legs feel like lead, and the mind starts to spiral. It’s known as 'hitting the wall'—and Goody’s, a brand built around fast pain relief, understands better than anyone how hard it can be to get through these tough moments. The catch?

 With the world’s eyes on a group of Antarctic penguins that were subject to the sweeping 10% tariffs introduced by the U.S. administration last Wednesday, Penguins International is harnessing the global attention on these birds to help conserve the species with a march. On Wednesday, April 16th, Penguins International, a non-profit organisation committed to preserving and protecting penguins to protect the planet, is turning the birds’ annual migratory trek from the ocean to their breeding grounds into a Protest March of the Penguins, which will be streamed on YouTube Live. Through this stream, Penguins International hopes to generate support and donations. Today, nine of the 18 species of penguins that exist are either listed as Vulnerable or Endangered of becoming extinct. On April 2nd, widespread reciprocal tariff plans were announced by the U.S. administration. While the administration has since walked many of these tariffs back, the 10% baseline fee on all imports to the country still stands. Included on the list are Heard Island and McDonald Islands, a group of barren, uninhabited islands near Antarctica, home only to penguins. The imposition of tariffs on one of the most remote parts of the globe quickly caught the world’s attention, with the masses taking to the internet to share their thoughts, and memes. VIEW THE SPOT
 And so the scene is set for Apple and Telia’s latest campaign for the iPhone 16 pro - which places the well loved Swedish action hero, Jens Hulten, very much in harms way. All for good reason of course, as the shot is captured in glorious slow motion by the iPhone 16 pro. The spot – produced by Immigrant and directed by Danish director Torben Kjelstrup – was created by the creative agency Åkestam Holst in Stockholm. Set in a classic western set, with saloons and wagon wheels aplenty, the film embraces familiar genre tropes, tipping it’s hat at both westerns and Hollywood itself. Playing the leading man at the centre of it all, doomed to be chased down by a real life killer bear, Åkestam Holst convinced the Swedish actor, Jens Hulten to make his commercial debut - playing … well, himself. A nice bit of tongue in cheek casting for Swedish audiences as he’s a mainstay of not just the Swedish film series Johan Falk, but also international franchises like Mission Impossible and James Bond.

 "History Outnumbered" was made to show that ignorance is gaining ground. At a time when data is often used to manipulate, confuse, or erase the truth, our campaign used data to restore it. Auschwitz survivor tattoos, once marks of mass dehumanisation, became anchors to credible, current statistics about the rise of hate. We didn't rely on symbolism or re-enactments. Instead, we used pure unaltered data. No metaphor. No embellishment. Just brutal truth. VIEW FOUR OUTDOOR
