Droga5 London has created a global brand campaign for Setapp, a subscription service providing access to 190+ creative, productivity and maintenance apps for Macs, iPhones and iPads to help users complete any task.
The new “Don’t Get Sidetracked. Get Setapp” campaign revolves around three comic films, directed by Jeff Low of Biscuit Filmworks UK, each showing the absurdly dramatic consequences of someone failing to finish what they started.
In this commercial titled “Snake,” a man with a phobia of snakes is hypnotized into thinking he has become one and is left in a snake-like state as his therapist gets distracted.
Ed Redgrave, Droga5 London creative director, said: “If you’re reading this it’s entirely probable you’ve started some other task and then become distracted and ended up here. If that’s you–or if that’s ever been you–you need Setapp. A suite of apps to help you complete any task.”

Creative agency ROSA PARIS has conceived of this bank ad that doesn’t look like a bank ad for Banque Populaire. The financial institution supports the creation of 200 new businesses every day across France--and that is reflected visually in this commercial with a mesmerizing metaphor of blooming flowers to symbolize the widespread impact of entrepreneurship and local growth.
This ode to flower power was directed by Thomas Calley and produced by Frenzy Paris. Calley’s 2023 film Le Règne Animal (The Animal Kingdom) won five Cesar Awards, underscoring that he’s a custom fit to bring this cinematic-style brand film to life.
“In our rapidly-evolving society, success is no longer just a personal achievement. It has become more collective, more local, and more sustainable. It’s no longer just about numbers or titles; it’s a human adventure that impacts those around us. This film is an anthem to entrepreneurship and a symbolic demonstration of the power an entrepreneur holds: the ability to improve the world around them,” said Jean-Patrick Chiquiar, co-founder, ROSA PARIS.
