    The Best Work You May Never See: Dom&Nic Bring The Bairs Home For Xmas In Heathrow Spot From Havas London

    By SHOOTUpdated:No Comments2570 Views

    Heathrow Airport’s newest Christmas spot adds another tale to the life of Britain’s much-loved bears, Doris and Edward Bair.

    This time around, the pair is returning to the U.K. from their Florida home after longing for the quintessential British Christmas.

    The ad opens with Doris and Edward soaking in the Florida sun. Upon hearing sound of carols, though, the bears are reminded that Xmas in the sunshine isn’t the same. From memories of cozy fires and stockings hung, to the grandchildren playing, Doris and Edward know what they need to do to make it Christmas; make it Home.

    Set to the 80’s classic Paul Young’s “Every Time You Go Away,” the Bairs rush themselves back towards the British twilight, arriving into Heathrow–the same location their eyes met and their love story began 50 years ago. 

    Paul Young, singer, songwriter and musician comments: “’Every Time You Go Away’ was first released over thirty years ago in 1985. So much has changed since then, however the feeling of loved ones going away is still the same. I’m delighted that it will feature on Heathrow’s Christmas advert which brings to life those feelings for Doris, Edward and the Bair family.”

    Dom&Nic of production house Outsider directed the spot–titled “Making it Home Makes it Christmas”–for Havas London, with animation from The Mill.

    TDA Boulder, Director Michael Downing Tackle Banking Clichés In “No Nonsense” Campaign For First Interstate

    Thursday, August 27, 2026

    Indie ad agency TDA Boulder has unveiled “No Nonsense Banking,” its debut campaign for new client First Interstate Bank. The rolling launch runs through the end of the year, and spans across 10 states.

    The batch of spots includes this one titled “Every Step,” epitomizing a call to end the nonsense. “Every Step” opens on a couple experiencing life’s biggest moments (marriage proposal, first child, a kid learning to drive, and packing up for college). Each meaningful moment, though, has one odd addition: their banker is actually really there, experiencing those moments with them. The unexpected inclusion calls out the cliché that banks love to be with you every step of the way, even in life’s most intimate moments. The spot lands on the twist: First Interstate isn’t promising to be there for every step; just the ones that matter, with a straight answer and a real person on the other end.

    Michael Downing directed via The Sweetshop x Chirp Films.
