This latest installment of adam&eveDDB’s campaign for Lloyds Bank features the brand’s iconic black horse galloping through the years and across diverse British landscapes and walks of life, underscoring how Lloyds has been by the side of their customers through changes of every kind over the past 250 years.
The horse’s sojourn is driven by a music track that’s a cover of the song “Praise You” by Camille Yarborough, famously sampled by Fatboy Slim. It was recorded for this commercial by up-and-coming artist Hannah Grace and the London Contemporary Voices Choir. This song exemplifies the changes Britain has been through and praises the British public as it continues to look to the future.
Frederic Planchon of Academy Films directed the spot.

The results revealed that 86% of Brazilians have been the victims of family bullying, but just 17% of them discuss the issue openly.
The film, created by AlmapBBDO, São Paulo, and directed by YOUTH of production company THE YOUTH, portrays the scenario laid out in the poll: the commonest kinds of family bullying are related to comments about physical appearance (50%) and comparisons between relatives (80%). We meet Camila, a young woman who flips through an album of Christmas photos only to be reminded of harsh comments from loved ones--especially her godmother, whose jabs about her body and appearance cast a shadow over family gatherings and wound up reinforcing rigid beauty standards.
“It’s not an easy topic to approach, and that’s why it’s so necessary,” explained Carolina Carrasco, director of branding and communications for O Boticário. “With this campaign, we’re able to reinforce just how important positive words can be, especially since 71% of people who’ve been bullied believe that affectionate gestures and comments can positively transform family relationships. That’s why we’d like to invite people to show their love out loud, and to leave marks of love.”
To encourage those behaviors and show the power of words this Christmas, O Boticário has created the concept “Words leave marks--let them be of love.” The film shifts between past and present, moving toward reconciliation as it shows just how... Read More
