Atlantic Records, in partnership with STX Films, has launched the official video companion to Kelly Clarkson’s “Broken & Beautiful,” featured on the soundtrack for the animated feature film UglyDolls. ATK PLN provided the animation for the cameo appearances of the UglyDolls characters in the live action music video, directed by Hound’s Jay Martin. ATK PLN worked closely with sister company Reel FX, who animated the feature film.
The video, which features Clarkson’s daughter River Rose, shows the Grammy-winning singer backstage preparing for a show. Through her positive self affirmations of “I know I’m Superwoman, I know I’m strong,” the insatiably curious pink UglyDoll Moxy (voiced by Clarkson in the film) causes a behind-the-scenes stir as she takes it upon herself to get a full access glimpse into the performance. But while the security guard is somewhat less than amused (and out of breath), Clarkson and her daughter are charmed by Moxy’s excitement and confidence.

Director Gary Freedman, adam&eveDDB Bring The Power Of Lloyds’ Banking App To A Daddy-and-Daughter Day
U.K. retail and commercial financial services provider Lloyds has launched its biggest-ever multi-channel campaign celebrating its refreshed and rebranded mobile banking app. The fully integrated campaign, created in partnership with creative agency adam&eveDDB, global brand consultancy Wolff Olins and media agency Zenith, brings together more than 500 different assets across the app, campaign executions, activations and digital strategy spanning AV, audio, outdoor, social, digital, influencer and gaming channels.
Part of the campaign is this “Daddy Daughter” :60 in which a father and daughter enjoy a day together--with papa using his credit card via the Lloyds app to pay for most everything his little girl desires, from an ice cream cone to a boat ride, costume apparel, a helium balloon, a movie and popcorn. It all adds up and that appears a bit concerning to dad as they enter a toy store together. It all changes, though, when he’s about to purchase a large stuffed animal and suddenly the charge card on his app is declined. The awkward moment melts away when the girl says that’s all right, dad, and she skips out of the store.
His smartphone then reveals a smart feature on his Lloyds app--being able to freeze and unfreeze your card in an instant. He unfreezes his credit card once they’ve left the store.
Directed by Gary Freedman via production company MJZ, the charmingly humorous spot reflects the gist of the overall “The Power to do it all” campaign that’s designed to show how Lloyds’ revitalized mobile banking app puts the power of finance in people’s hands--for everyday banking and beyond.
