SMUGGLER

Muse By Clios: “The creative for this particular campaign, directed by SMUGGLER’s Tom Hooper, follows its predecessors in those themes, but was born from the idea of intergenerational connection, purpose and celebrating doers, builders of families and communities.”

Creative Review: “Waitrose has launched its new Christmas campaign which revolves around a serialised Christmas-themed whodunnit: a dessert that goes missing on Christmas day. Directed by Lucy Forbes, the ad refrains from pushing the product too heavily and instead emphasizes the story, which is refreshing coming from a supermarket brand.”

Promonews: “Björn Rühmann has collaborated with Paul Kalkbrenner and Mother Berlin to create a stunning 12 minute music short film to accompany the electronic music icon’s new two song EP. It’s the intriguing story, in two distinct parts, of a strange character as he comes into contact with the real, mostly hostile world: the eponymous Kabelmann.”

Shots: “Director Adam Berg brings his ethereal vision to this entrancing and cinematic music video for Swedish alt rock band Kent, titled ‘The Returners’.”
