A nervous man sends his daughter out on her first solo car drive to high school. She reverses out of the house driveway, running over a skateboard and knocking over a trash can, as the dad looks on in an understandable state of high anxiety.
He is next seen seated at a table at home when the iPhone 15’s automatic “check in” feature notifies him that she has arrived at school safely. What a relief!
Andreas Nilsson of Biscuit Filmworks directed “New Driver” which came out of the in-house Apple agency. The spot is part of the ongoing “Relax, it’s iPhone” campaign.

This holiday season, YETI, in partnership with Wieden+Kennedy (W+K) Portland, has launched a film to highlight the unintended consequences of gifting a YETI product to someone you love. “Don’t Get Them a YETI,” is a punchy cautionary tale with a wink, warning those considering gifting a YETI not to, because a world of adventurous highs and lows awaits and it might just be more than they bargained for.
Directed by Daniel Wolfe and Jess Kohl of Love Song, with VO by Oscar- and Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and Yellowstone actor Ryan Bingham, the hero film opens with a YETI Tundra Cooler flying off the back of a truck and tumbling through the mud. This kicks off a kaleidoscopic fever dream of worst-case scenarios in the mind’s eye of the female lead. As she imagines what could unfold, bites to burns to rashes, to wet dogs to never ending slideshows, the witty voiceover rattles off reason after reason why giving a YETI is a terrible idea.
But the truth is, every “disaster” looks kind of amazing. And as the adrenaline builds, so does her resolve. By the end, she commits. This might be the worst idea she’s ever had, but it’s also the best. She’s getting the YETI.
The campaign embraces YETI’s core truth: it’s not just gear, it’s a gateway. A catalyst. And commitment to whatever comes with it. And YETI clearly has no problem beating up their own product in the process. Because they know it’s built to take it. From the mud to the rodeo to the back of a bush plane, these products are made for the ones who go too far—and the loved ones who enable them.
“Don’t Get Them a YETI” flips the holiday script. It’s not just about gift guides and wrapping paper. It’s about understanding what you’re really giving... Read More
