During the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, Special Olympics Latin America and VMLY&R Mexico launched “The Same Blood,” a film that highlights the valuable contribution of persons with intellectual disabilities to the sport’s world and in our daily lives.
The film shares the story of a young boy’s pursuit to follow in his father’s footsteps. Inspired by the sight of future Olympians studying the arts of Judo, we follow the boy as he works to begin his own training in the sport. In the end, we see that his biggest inspiration is his father.
Filmed by Catatonia and director Hari Sama, “The Same Blood” is a beautiful story with the powerful message that inspiration is universal when it comes to parents and children.
Equality of boys and girls from the first training
Equality of boys and girls from the first grade
Equality of boys and girls from the first day
The aim of the campaign is to inform society about the equal rights of boys and girls during education, sports, daily life and even before their birth, by stopping sex-selective abortions.
The colors represent the genders, and they form Equality sign applied to different items symbolizing different situations in child life.
In response to a youth obsessed culture, where women over 50 still feel increasingly invisible, L’Oreal Paris and British Vogue have partnered to launch “The Non-Issue” issue – a publication first, jointly-created by McCann London and McCann Paris to ensure that age should no longer be an issue.
“The Non-Issue” issue, which will be included within the May edition of British Vogue is in direct response to women over 50 remaining conspicuous by their absence in the beauty and fashion industries, and the wider media landscape.
“The Non-Issue” issue features the iconic actress and L’Oréal Paris ambassador Jane Fonda on the cover alongside an exclusive interview. The special edition from the editors of British Vogue includes world-class editorial, fashion and beauty content, featuring the lives and perspectives of inspirational and trail-blazing women, all over the age of 50. Other L’Oréal Paris ambassadors featured within “The Non-Issue” include Helen Mirren, Isabelle Adjani and global celebrated make-up artist Val Garland, amongst others.
The special edition also features a global first QR code, for readers to access via Facebook Messenger exclusive behind the scenes content including the “The Making of the Non-Issue”.
The May issue of British Vogue featuring the “Non-Issue” issue in partnership with L’Oréal is available via digital download and newsstands on Friday 5th April 2019.
The short film reflects a problem in which Argentina and the world coexists daily, the control that digital services and algorithms have over our decisions. Leaving us thinking how far this can go in a not so distant future.
The Gate London collaborated with charity Lives Not Knives to create a disruptive tactical ad this Mother’s Day to discourage young people from carrying knives.
As the people who would miss them most, Mums ask for their children’s safety this Mother’s Day above all else. The message of “Don’t Bring Mum Flowers” was displayed in funeral flower wreaths on a hearse and driven around residential areas before visiting Parliament Square.
Lives Not Knives, founded by Eliza Rebeiro, is the charity working with young people to forge connections with prospective employers by developing their skills, providing emotional support and inspiring them to trade their knives for a better, more fulfilled life.

Starting from being a Copywriter in Advertising for a solid 4 years, quitting that to work in the music industry, all the while teaching herself design behind the scenes, and then finally moving to Europe to pursue design fully, Aditi Kapur is a bit of a strange case. Being deeply influenced by music and psychology and vintage clothing politically charged movements (especially the 1970s) and Berlin’s raw energy, she only hopes she sticks to this career choice for good.
Why are you into Advertising Creative? I used to be in advertising, I quit the industry around 2015 I think. And I chose it because that’s what I studied at St. Xavier’s, Bombay. So it happened by default.
Did you attend school for fine art or design or Communications? Yes, I did recently in Barcelona. I was a self taught designer until then but felt the need to fill some fundamental/basic gaps in my knowledge. I also needed a break from constant working.
Tell us about your many Awards? How has that impacted your career? Do clients listen to you more? I haven’t won any awards :). I quit much before that could happen.
Were there any particular role models for you when you grew up? I think my parents. Probably a boring answer but its true. My father was and still is one of the smartest and most humble people I know, and it was great just imitating some of his habits in my own work ethic and personal life. And my mom’s boldness has always helped me to make sure I don’t chicken out.
Who was the most influential personality on your career in Advertising? I have to say I’ve had many people I have looked up to from many fields. Like chefs, musicians, designers, journalists, but somehow never someone from Advertising. I think it’s because I never saw advertising as a highly inspirational or genius field altogether. Maybe because I was inside all of it, and that is humbling in a way.
Where do you get your inspiration from? Everywhere really. As a designer/copywriter/creative individual, I feel it is too important to be interested in, like really interested in things outside of your field. My inspiration comes coincidentally from going to a gig, or a flea market, talking to someone – even kids, grocery shopping and in some really mundane routines of life. I think one just has to be observant and really interested in things that are irrelevant to their actual work.
What do you think of the state of Print advertising right now. At least here in India, the released work is most often too sad? Print advertising has been taking a backseat, yes. Everything is digital and swipe-able or super disposable with very little commitment demanded from the audience. I remember how long copy became almost a thing of the past whenever spoke about it during brainstorming. And the word “nostaglia” was associated with it and personally, it did feel unfortunate. The low attention spans with our internet generation are a problem, really. But you know how a small percentage of young kids are collecting vinyls, going to libraries and consciously allowing some space for analog into their lives? So I feel people who believe in print just need to stick to it and the good work will attract people. There can be a turnaround.
If there is one thing you could change in your place of work, what would that be? I am currently freelancing and living in Berlin, so the answer would be nothing :). But generally from my past workplaces, I feel India desperately needs to change the work ethic. It is toxic to work 12 hours or more, it is unhealthy to work on weekends, it is dangerous to have no social life, burnouts and greying hair at 28. And the more young creative people are into this, the more normalised it is becoming. And people really need to stop glorifying “overworking”. Being in Europe and seeing the work ethic here, the value attached to time, reasonable deadlines and free weekends and evenings, I would never go back to that way of work and people need to proactively stop this.
Do you think brands who’s advertising wins awards, do well in the market? Not necessarily. My problem with awards and fancy case studies has always been that – did you really talk to your audience and with some people one-on-one before claiming you made a huge difference in their lives? I think advertising folks can be quite disconnected from reality as long as ego battles are won between them and the client.
What advice do you have for aspiring creative professionals? Chill a little. And let go of egos.
Considering things have fast moved towards the digital and mobile, any notable examples of a good digital campaign? I’ve been a little disconnected from the digital and mobile world for some time now since am working as a designer with pure studios here, so from the top of my head, I can’t think of any. And I don’t want to google as that would be cheating.
Who would you like to take out for dinner? Erlend Øye.
What’s on your iPod? I have a sad old iPod Nano and it hardly works but funny you asked, because I still use it :). But am listening to Apparat’s new album currently.
Mac or PC? Mac.
Whats your Twitter Handle? I don’t use Twitter.

When it was announced in October that then-AMC Networks chief Charlie Collier had been tapped as Fox Entertainment CEO, the news came as a surprise to many in the TV industry–including Collier himself. But a call from Fox Corp. executive co-chairman Rupert Murdoch, who invited him to oversee the Fox broadcast network, “changed my life,”…
When Bob Bakish was named Viacom CEO in December 2016, he began “warehousing” the company’s library content that had been previously licensed to other SVOD services, so that it would be at the ready whenever the company settled on its streaming strategy. Now that the Pluto TV deal has closed (as discussed in this week’s…
I got my start in advertising by accident. I never went to ad school or film school; I made videos on YouTube that went viral, and brands started reaching out. I’ve worked with brands big and small, and I started to notice that many brands–especially the less established ones–would make the same mistakes with their…
It may seem like a hassle to write a recommendation after buying a product online, but not for Gen Z. In fact, according to new research from tech company Social Media Link, over 60 percent of Gen Zers say they leave a review often, if not every time. Maybe that’s because Gen Z values recommendations…
The drive east from Los Angeles to Palm Springs for decades has been a journey away from the normal to a higher, clearer plain. Desert denizens including the likes of Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra and Elizabeth Taylor must have felt that in their fabled escapes there. And we at Adweek certainly did last year when…
In January, almost a year after Viacom CEO Bob Bakish told investors his company was preparing to launch a streaming service in late 2018, Viacom finally unveiled its OTT strategy–but it wasn’t what anyone had been expecting. Instead of creating its own subscription video on demand (SVOD) service–as rivals Disney, Comcast and AT&T are doing–the…
When Capital One rolled out its automated fraud-check texting system a few years ago, the bank was surprised to find how many possible answers its customers could find to a simple yes-or-no question. While around 85 percent of people responded to the alerts about potentially suspicious credit card activity with a “confirm” or “deny” as…
Jordan Katzman and Alex Fenkell met at summer camp when both were 13 years old, bonding immediately, in part over their shared mouths of metal. As their friendship continued into adulthood, they keenly remembered the awkwardness of their orthodontia experience. “It was just truly a pain point in our youth,” Fenkell said. “We figured there…
