Directed by Academy Award winner (The Hurt Locker) Kathryn Bigelow via production house Smuggler, this futuristic AT&T spot from BBDO NY tells the story of a family out for a Sunday drive—distraction free in their fully autonomous car made possible by 5G technology. The ad helps people imagine how a technology like 5G will transform driving altogether while taking distracted driving off the table. Still, the message resonates that until then, don’t drive distracted, the ongoing mantra of AT&T’s “It Can Wait” campaign, now in its 10th year out of BBDO.
Two-time Oscar nominated editor (The Big Short, Vice) Hank Corwin of Lost Planet cut this piece, titled “It Can Wait/5G Until Then.” Commercial is debuting during the The Masters golf tournament on CBS.

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.
