The centerpiece of the McCann New York campaign promoting the New York Lottery’s new scratch-off game called BACON! is this spot titled “Early Riser.” Directed by Conor Byrne from m ss ng p eces, it tells the story of a New Yorker who is magically awoken and carried through the air, out of his home, and through the streets by a mouthwatering aroma. Spoiler alert, it’s Bacon!
The commercial was shot all in-camera both in studio and on location in New York, using a specialized rig to ensure the hero character was always being led by his nose towards the source of that sweet bacon smell.

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.
