The Home Depot: Planting

With this campaign, Home Depot wants to speak to Quebecers with humility and simplicity. The brand wants to talk about Quebecers and not about itself. Unlike competing brands, the chosen avenue was to emphasize the real habits of renovations with great veracity and proximity; because no matter the nature of the project, renovating is difficult but it makes you proud.

Unicef: Watch

Unicef Print Ad - Watch

UNICEF’s main income source comes from donations. But nowadays it’s getting harder to engage with Portuguese people and get them involved. This is, in part, due to the fact that most of UNICEF’s intervention is so far away from our homes and our realities. It seems that we’re desensitized and sceptic: the harsh reality of children around the world doesn’t chock us and we question the difference we can actually make with our individual contribution. On the other hand, it’s easy to get caught up in futile matters that entertain our minds. This campaign comes as a wakeup call in disguise. What looks at first glance an ad for a watch, a smartphone or a bag, quickly becomes a very effective way to visualize the impact we can make in children’s lives. It shows that you can actually make a difference with a fraction of your vanities.

Watch Colbert deconstruct Trump's surreal, rambling 'Fox & Friends' call


Are you still reeling from President Trump’s disturbing Thursday morning call-in appearance on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends”? Of did you manage to miss it entirely?

Either way, you’ll want to watch Stephen Colbert’s helpful deconstruction of the surreal, rambling performanceincluding the billionaire’s revelation that he got his wife Melanie “a beautiful card” for her birthday (Colbert suggests a shopping spree to the tune of $130,000 would be a more appropriate gift), his professed ignorance about his embattled lawyer Michael Cohen’s “business,” whether or not he’ll fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller, “no collusion,” his feelings about NBC and CNN, the “phony cloud over my head that doesn’t exist,” and, of course, winning the electoral college vs. the popular vote. Watch to the end for Colbert’s take on how one of the “stunned” hosts of “Fox & Friends” finally got “grandpa” off the phone after half an hour of unhinged free association.
