Leading skincare brand Gold Bond is debuting an irreverent new national TV and social campaign to tout its iconic body and foot powder products. Part of Gold Bond’s broader Champion Your Skin campaign advocating for real skin, the new work gets real about powder—why guys use it, where they use it, and most importantly, how they talk about it. The campaign launches on Facebook, Instagram and other digital properties with a 60-second anthem that was “too ballsy for broadcast.” Called “Euphemisms,” the spot features a pair of young men discussing a problem as old as time itself: sweaty balls. From ancient Rome through the Middle Ages, from Godfather-era New York to ‘80s Wall Street and beyond, our characters complain about “slick stones,” “moist marbles,” and “over-steeped teabags” until, finally, Gold Bond arrives to promise “There’s freshness in your future.” The humorous work continues with two 15-second spots for national broadcast TV. The spots introduce a recurring character named G.B. Powders, a sage voice of reason who helps young men see the error of their wet ways.

What decides when a family is normal? When the Norwegian minister of family affairs decided to remove the responsibility for equality from the ministry, the signal that was sent was that not all families are equal. A family should be judged by how they treat each other, not who they love. The Norwegian Humanist Association wanted to use their voice and speak out against this, and asked different families about their family values. See to the end.

According to a study, over 40% of girls quit sports during their teenage years. Although this statistic is highly disturbing, it doesn’t come as a surprise. The prejudice against women in sports is such deep-rooted issue that even after years, the organisations which have aimed to address this, have only been able to generate a few ripples. Adidas wanted to create a tide. While looking for reasons, we came across a startling fact. A study by UNESCO indicates, only 4% of sports news is dedicated to women. This heavy media bias which is often ignored, is a rather significant contributor to this scenario. We decided to change that narrative. Our Idea: 50/50 Instead of buying TV spots, outdoor spaces and newspaper columns, Adidas buys air time on TV and an extra page in newspapers to ensure equal distribution between men and women sports news. In turn, giving young girls what they need the most, idols, inspirations, and stars they can aspire to be.
