Budget Direct – Captain Risky's Caravan (2017) :30 (Australia)

Budget Direct - Captain Risky's Caravan (2017) :30 (Australia)
Capatin Risky is back for Budget Direct, you remember him right? The failed Evil Keneivel who shows you around his house while riding a crossbike. Yeah, about that…. Might be how he messed up the house and ended up living in a caravan. With his pet grizzly bear and rabbit.

His caravan-slumming is in stark contrast to Budget Direct customers and their pets, who receive up to 12 months temporary accommodation if their homes become too damaged to live in. Ever the optimist, Captain Risky isn’t complaining: “It’s not small, it’s cozy,” he reassures his furry friends. Isn’t it risky to have a pet Grizzly bear…? Nevermind.

The commercial is directed by Hamish Rothwell of Goodoil Films and launched on Sunday 7th May.

GAP: Adrian

The Gap Summer campaign takes diversity in marketing to a new level — rather than using real models, street casting was used to find 20 widely diverse individuals from across the country, and footage was shot in 6 cities encompassing all typologies of environments: nature, rural, urban, and draped canvas. In today’s fractured America, the campaign takes a strong stance for inclusivity of lifestyle and attitude.

Libération: CheckNews

From the last debate of the French presidential election until the last day before the vote, Libération, one of the most popular French newspaper, presents a search engine run by journalists. On the Internet, search engines give us millions of results. How do we find the right ones? Libération came up with an anti-hoax service: CheckNews.fr, a search engine trading cold algorithms for real journalists for 3 days before the French elections. Libération set the trend with Désintox, a service dedicated to fact-checking. Now, they’re taking it one step further with CheckNews: putting the journalist back at the heart of verifying information.
