It’s been almost a year since we last covered Jack Link’s and their Sasquatch antihero, but everyone’s favorite ugly creature is back to sell some beef jerky and beat up anyone who messes with him (it). Minneapolis-based agency Carmichael Lynch has produced three new spots for the campaign, all of which were once again directed by Rocky Morton.

In the above commercial – “All Dolled Up” – three fools try to get their kicks by putting makeup on Sasquatch. He responds by flipping their car and possibly killing them, because, well,  Sasquatch doesn’t wear lipstick. The ads tap into the creature’s vaguely redneck brand appeal with foggy rural settings and the fact that the product is beef jerky. If I learned anything here, it’s to avoid Jack Link’s beef jerky, because eating it will lead to serious personal injury and an upset Sasquatch. Two more clips and the credits after the jump.

Children with special needs struggle to communicate. The children at the Al Manzil School for special needs were trying to reach out to the world through art. Conversations, a unique exhibition of their paintings GAVE THEM A PLATFORM TO ESTABLISH A DIALOGUE WITH THE WORLD while giving an opportunity to the world to COMMUNICATE BACK. A simple device enabled people to listen to what the child had to say, and then record their response, thus completing the conversation. An integrated communication approach using different mediums raised awareness. The facebook app allowed the Conversations to continue well beyond the event. As a result, the event garnered over 3000 patrons and helped raise over 225,000 dirhams. But since our task was more than just achieve numbers, the real reward came in the form of joy and happiness the children felt when they heard those priceless words of encouragement. Conversations is now a permanent platform that will continue to showcase the artistic talents of these children, making them feel EXCEPTIONAL rather than an exception.
