New Apple ad: Great Ideas Start On Mac Voiced by the late Dr. Jane Goodall

Omnicom discontinuing the DDB brand would be a mistake, yet again an example of the agency holding companies failing to advertise their agency networks, leveraging the brand heritage of industry titans.

*Over-representation* not representation. Read the copy.

Another storied agency brand bites the dust. For an industry that purports to be all about the power of great brands, we sure as hell aren't demonstrating that when it comes to our own. Omnicom DDB ADWEEK Audrey Kemp

Good concept. But could’ve been more contextually relevant copy without spoiling (e.g. “He’s onto Wossy.”). The newspapers are full of spoilers, why not take the risk or ‘near-risk’ in OOH?

Whilst this is a decent multi-market campaign, using animals from the respective geographies, it ultimately does not pack the emotional punch its previous ads did in relying on A.I. What’s worse is this statement, which is an insult to creative, who daily ‘push the envelope’.

Estrella 2-in-1 OOH advertising.

Perhaps for a mass national campaign. But it is fantastic work, that should be used in-market.

The CMA should not permit this to go ahead.

Supermarkets M&S and Sainsbury’s cutting advertising budgets. Doing so in tough economic conditions has been found to perpetuate a downward spiral for brands.

The age of toys is over…? #ToyStory5 is only in theaters June 19, 2026.

“Even at the home of the black stuff, they dream of a white one.” Copywriting done right, as usual, for Guinness.

The rise of product nationalism?

Now this 5-year commitment from Nationwide Building society is much more impressive than the previous 3-year commitment. Branches remain the heart of many high streets, and in a market where many banks are rushing to close their branches, it differentiates the mutual.

Beautiful. And follows Apple’s fantastic one.
