No matter who plays in them, the measures of the courts have always remained the same.

The time, commitment and effort that our athletes deliver each day in them is also the same.

Each point, goal or race in this courts is worth the same than the ones from any other athletes.

By using the same measures and rules the inclusion is already forming a part of the game.

Activision Call of Duty 4: Operation Grand Heist: The Replacer


Film
Activision

The well-known, MTV VMA-award winning visual effects team at Timber has joined forces with the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 franchise in a campaign for the much-anticipated release of “Operation Grand Heist.” Through a hilarious series of unfortunate events, “The Replacer” — played by Peter Stormare – attempts to replace the roles of prominent individuals in politics and pop culture while giving them the chance to play the infamous game. Driven by the notion that everyone deserves their personal gaming time, the stylistic spot takes viewers on a whirlwind adventure through the Oval Office, New Jersey highways, televised awards stages, farmlands, E.U. Summits and more. Timber’s VFX flair is observed throughout with amplified sequences highlighting famed Twitch streamer, Dr. DisRespect, and dramatized visuals that perfectly accent the comedic beats.

Creative Planning

The new campaign for Creative Planning speaks directly to the lack of transparency in the wealth management industry through a series of bizarre situations. Ill-fitting suits, snake oil doctors, and other less-than-appetizing offerings are at the center of the comedic campaign edited by Lucky Post’s Logan Hefflefinger and directed by MJZ’s The Perlorian Brothers for The Richards Group. From concept to casting these delightfully cringe-worthy movie moments deftly highlight how financial advisors should focus on their clients’ best interests, not shifty sales.

Stitch Fix launched its first brand campaign this February, tying into award season’s major fashion moments in order to talk to consumers about what Stitch Fix does, why it’s relevant, and how its service (personal styling) can help them feel that red carpet confidence every day of the year. The campaign launched with a Stitch Fix Red Carpet activation in LA and NYC—complete with handlers, agents and paparazzi—to give everyday people the ‘red carpet treatment.’ Then, just before the curtain rose at the Oscars, the company launched a :60 spot celebrating and elevating the reasons people get dressed for all of life’s moments, big and small.

WW — formerly known as Weight Watchers — predicted a weak 2019, with fewer new members joining this year compared to last. The forecast sent the company’s share price plummeting nearly 31 percent in after-hours trading. What happened? As Ad Age’s Jessica Wohl reports, the company put some of the blame on its winter ad push — its first global campaign since it rebranded to focus on wellness over dieting. The campaign, which de-emphasized weight loss and prioritized overall well-being, didn’t recruit as many signups as expected, President and CEO Mindy Grossman said.

WW admits it needs more Oprah after weak start to 2019


WW will lean more heavily on Oprah Winfrey in upcoming ads after the wellness marketer formerly known as Weight Watchers started the year off on a weak note and predicted revenue and profit will fall this year.

The company’s winter campaign “did not recruit as expected,” President and CEO Mindy Grossman said in a statement.

“We quickly moved to course correct, including introducing new creative with a stronger call-to-action and further optimizing our media mix,” Grossman said.
