Seen and noted

BEST TV
Nothing really stands out this week. The films are pretty good, but also classic. Nonetheless, since I had to choose, I'd pick Orange and Coca-Cola. Winner: Orange France 'Content Battle' because it's pretty well-directed. The chase throughout the film works well and keeps the audience on bated breath. The music is upbeat and goes well with the spot. Overall, it's a good bit of entertainment.

Runner-Up: Coca-Cola 'Disagreementfor its wtf aspect. The cowboy duel parody comes off well and gives the film a comedic air, which works for the brand.

BEST PRINT
I find that the McDelivery Day print stands out from the others. It's simple and direct, as promised. The art direction is quite successful. It's beautifully executed. It's a print that we'll surely see again at festivals.
No runner-up.

BEST OUTDOOR
For me the best activation of the week is Donate Life California 'Second Chances'. It's intelligent, offbeat and I think it serves the purpose. Even if the hidden camera format is quite classic, the communication is precise and original. I like the idea that even if you're not perfect, you can help advance great causes. These people aren't heroes, they're just ordinary people who sometimes exceed speed limits but who believe in life and its values. It's not moralizing, it's not lecturing, it's intelligent and modern, and perfect for this cause.

Runner-up: Perth Zoo. Cute idea, Pure Ambient.

BEST INTERACTIVE
Pornhub's Beesexual is my favorite. Saving the planet with sex is the best idea ever. It's light, funny, and doesn't take itself seriously. Even if the idea is about a pun, it's drole and original.

Runner up: KFC.
