Belvedere Vodka, the original super-premium vodka, is excited to debut its stunning limited-edition bottle with GRAMMY-nominated musician, actor, and activist Janelle Monáe, available in-store globally beginning June 2019.

The metallic collage design, with an aesthetic aimed to peel back layers and reveal the beauty within, illustrates the multifaceted character of both Monáe and Belvedere. The final punctuation is the phrase “Beautiful Future,” a nod to Monáe and Belvedere’s shared vision of a future where natural character, integrity, diversity and self-expression are celebrated.

The narrative for “A Beautiful Future” builds on the program which kicked off last year when Belvedere and Monae hosted a brunch for Monae’s grassroots movement, Fem the Future, a movement dedicated to advancing awareness and opportunities for women and those who identify as women through music, arts, mentorship and education. Following, a social media campaign asked consumers to define what “A Beautiful Future” looks like to them. Responses included optimistic messages of diversity, self-expression, inclusion and empowerment. In a series of co-created content debuting today, Monáe will read aloud a selection of these inspiring posts, calling for a beautiful future to start now.

The Spot That Launched Ridley Scott’s Career, ‘Boy on the Bike,’ Has Been Remastered in 4K

While U.S. advertising aficionados think of Ridley Scott as synonymous with Apple’s iconic ‘1984’ ad, it’s one of the director’s older spots that holds a special place in British hearts. “The Boy on the Bike” was a 1973 ad for Hovis Bread that played to nostalgia for a simpler time in the U.K., when fresh-baked…

Adidas: Danny MacAskill x adidas Outdoor: Welcome to the Family

Danny MacAskill, the Scottish trials cyclist and star of multiple YouTube smash-hit viral films such as Red Bull’s Imaginate, shows off his amazing skills in a new brand film for adidas Outdoor, created by Cut Media.

It launches on Danny’s Youtube channel on Tuesday 4th June to celebrate his new brand partnership with adidas Outdoor.

At three and a half minutes, the film shows Danny performing a series of incredible tricks demonstrating both his imaginative approach to his riding and his unparalleled skills.

Appearing to be self-filmed, the spot opens with Danny setting up a shot with a beautiful Scottish harbour as a backdrop. The film takes us through a series of locations as the athlete uses local landmarks and the epic wilderness of the Highlands to do some amazing riding.

We also see some shots where Danny fails to land a line, giving the film humour and an authentic feel.

The style of the film is very straightforward. There are no gimmicks or dynamic camera shots, just clean, well-composed frames with beautiful backdrops. This filming technique was used to align with adidas’ ‘Here to Create’ campaign, and to highlight Danny’s position as a creative athlete, who demonstrates his skills through film instead of competing in events.

The film represents a continuation of Cut Media’s long-standing relationship with Danny, including Imaginate and Wee Day Out for Red Bull, and it is also the fourth campaign the creative agency has worked on with adidas. Cut Media previously collaborated with adidas on the Claim Freedom documentary, the Two BOA shoe launch and the Mountain Project.

It was filmed on location in the coastal village of Dunbar and Glencoe in the Highlands, to the soundtrack of ‘The Wind that Cried The World’ by the Phantom Band.
